The Best Upright Vacuums for Wet and Dry Cleaning in 2022

A cordless upright vacuum cleaner with a wet cleaning function not only reduces cleaning time but can even save money, as most vacuum cleaners are priced in the same range as standard upright vacuums. This top 5 list includes the best upright vacuum cleaners with a wet cleaning function, based on price, cleaning performance, and functionality. These are definitely worth considering in 2022 if you're looking for an upright vacuum cleaner for both dry and wet cleaning. A brief overview of all the models in the ranking will help you choose the best option for your needs and budget. Let's get started!

PUPPYOO T12

The leader of our rating is definitely the best upright vacuum cleaner with a wet cleaning function in 2022. This model is called the PUPPYOO T12.

We could talk about it for a long time, but to highlight the most important things: the device is equipped with a powerful motor, a complete set of accessories, which includes not only a nozzle for wet cleaning, but also a large number of other attachments, as well as two possible devices for storing the vacuum cleaner and attachments: a wall holder or a floor base.

In addition, the PUPPYOO T12 is extremely powerful, ergonomic, and efficient. The main dust collector nozzle features two rollers with different structures. They rotate toward each other, effectively picking up debris from the floor, including pet hair. A special wet cleaning nozzle can be installed instead of this nozzle. It features two rotating discs with round pads, with a suction port in front of them. The nozzle itself contains a water reservoir and a mechanical switch that controls the water flow to the pads. This allows you to simultaneously vacuum and mop your floors with this vacuum cleaner.

The manufacturer also claims you can spray polish onto the pads and, thanks to the rapidly rotating discs, thoroughly polish your flooring when the water supply is turned off. Other features worth highlighting include the PUPPYOO T12's high-quality filtration system, automatic power increase based on soiling, an OLED display on the body, long battery life, and a cleaning zone light on the main floor nozzle. Overall, it's definitely a top-of-the-line upright vacuum cleaner for both dry and wet cleaning that will definitely get the job done. The only caveat is the price. On Aliexpress, the PUPPYOO T12 costs between $700 and $900. But I'm sure it's definitely worth the money!

Clever&Clean HV-450

Continuing the rating is another well-designed upright vacuum cleaner with a wet cleaning function. This is Clever&Clean HV-450, which we have already reviewed.

The device has a wet cleaning attachment similar in design and operation. It features two rotating discs with round microfiber cloths, with a suction port located in front of them. The attachment contains a water reservoir with a pump that pulses water onto the cloths every few seconds. A front LED light is installed for improved cleaning in low-light areas.

Regarding the other features of the Clever & Clean HV-450, this cordless 5-in-1 vacuum cleaner comes equipped with all the necessary attachments for cleaning your home, including a furniture tool. It offers good dust collection on hard and carpeted floors, and is powerful enough for home use. With its HEPA filter and wet cleaning function, this vacuum cleaner is recommended for allergy sufferers. When cleaning dirt from floors, the Clever & Clean HV-450 demonstrated excellent results, almost on par with electric mops. Therefore, considering all the above, this model is definitely worth considering. Furthermore, the price is much lower – around $375-$400 – and it comes with a full warranty and service coverage throughout Russia.

Wollmer D707 Sapphire

Rounding out the top three is the Wollmer D707 Sapphire. This cordless vacuum cleaner features a completely different wet cleaning module, which also replaces the mop and allows you to vacuum and mop your floor in a single cycle.

The wet cleaning nozzle features a water reservoir. Nozzles on the bottom deliver water to a microfiber cloth. The cloth is attached with Velcro and is easily removed. The wet cleaning nozzle attaches behind the turbo brush, allowing you to vacuum and mop floors simultaneously. The kit includes all the necessary cleaning attachments for home use, including two replacement rollers for the main nozzle: a soft one for picking up debris on hard floors and a roller with bristles for cleaning carpets. The front of the main floor nozzle features an LED light, allowing you to more thoroughly pick up debris in dimly lit areas and easily spot even the smallest dust particles.

Additional features of the Wollmer D707 Sapphire include a turbo mode, a motorized turbo brush, a removable battery, vertical parking, and touchless cleaning. The Maxi package includes a crevice tool with lighting, a corrugated hose, and even an optional pet grooming brush. While cats probably won't appreciate it, it's perfect for grooming dogs. The vacuum costs around $440, so if you're looking for a vacuum with a good wet cleaning function but less expensive than the leading brand, consider the Wollmer. It's also important to note that Wollmer provides a full warranty and service for its products.

Tefal Xforce Flex 14.60 TY9990WO

The rating continues with a new vertical vacuum cleaner with a wet cleaning function called Tefal Xforce Flex 14.60.

This device is equipped with an Aqua nozzle, which consists of a mop module with a suction port. The mop is fixed to a special platform, and the water flow from the reservoir is adjustable. This nozzle allows for simultaneous vacuuming and mopping. When it comes to dry cleaning, the TEFAL X-Force Flex 14.60 is very powerful, comes with all the necessary attachments for maintaining a clean home, the floor nozzle is equipped with LED lighting, and the main unit features an informative display with control buttons. Another highlight of this vacuum cleaner is the foldable extension tube, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach areas.

Also worth highlighting are the multi-stage filtration system, removable battery, and long runtime. The TEFAL X-Force Flex 14.60 starts at $700, placing this cordless vacuum cleaner in the premium segment. A warranty and service are included, which is important for most buyers.

Philips XC8347/01

Rounding out the TOP-5 best cordless wet and dry vacuum cleaners of 2022 is the Philips Aqua Plus 8000 series, which may also be called the Philips XC8347/01.

Like the previous two in this list, this vacuum cleaner is equipped with a special wet cleaning module that attaches to the main floor nozzle. The manufacturer even recommends adding a disinfectant detergent to the water tank to improve the wet cleaning performance. The vacuum cleaner is quite powerful, equipped with additional attachments for cleaning various surfaces, LED lighting, and an informative display on the body.

Additional features of the Philips XC8347/01 include the manufacturer's stated, consistent, high suction power, and a patented 360° suction system that ensures dust and debris are collected from all directions around the nozzle. The vacuum cleaner costs approximately $900-950, which, again, is not affordable for everyone. However, it's important to consider the high quality and reputable brand, as well as the availability of a warranty and service.
