Vacuum-mop combos are becoming a more common household staple, partly thanks to how many homes have predominantly hard floors, but also because it beautifully combines two very useful cleaners into one: the vacuum and the mop.

The Dreame H14 Pro is on sale for $449.99, down from $699.99. That's a staggering $250 discount on what is currently the best vacuum-mop we've tested at Homes & Gardens.

I still use the Dreame H14 Pro in my home months after testing it, and it's incredible at banishing spills, stains, and solids from my floors in seconds.

The Dreame H14 Pro brings masterful floor cleaning to your home, vacuuming up wet and dry spills while mopping and washing your hard floors. It takes a few seconds for serious messes to be completely cleared, then a few moments more for the floors to dry.

Why I love the Dreame H14 Pro

Vacuum-mops are a relatively new addition to the floorcare market, but that hasn't stopped them from becoming one of the most useful and time-saving parts of our essential cleaning checklist.

Out of the vacuum-mops we've tested at Homes & Gardens, including the Tineco Floor One S7 Pro that we also love, the Dreame H14 Pro's cleaning performance surpasses all of them.

It's so effective and easy to use that it's now the primary hard floor cleaner in my home. Most of the time, I don't even need to get my Dyson V15 Detect out before using it. The Dreame H14 Pro can vacuum up solids and deep clean liquid spills like it's nothing, and my floors have genuinely never looked cleaner.

I run five tests when evaluating a vacuum-mop combo, including ketchup, mustard, chunky pasta sauce and milk and cereal, and in every test the Dreame cleaned the fastest, while leaving absolutely no residue behind.

Vacuuming an entire cup of milk and cereal is a bit of an extreme test, but it's a great way for us to find out just how capable the vacuum is. Some will fling cereal around, some will vacuum the milk but leave the solids, and some will glide straight over it.

But the Dreame H14 Pro was the only model that could actually vacuum this mess swiftly, almost entirely in a single pass. It demonstrates the vacuum's impressive suction power, and the cleaning performance of the dual brushrolls to be able clear a mess that large.

When you compare mopping vs wet vacuuming, this is one of the major advantages. Vacuum-mop combos are one of the surest ways to clean your floors without streaks, and having one appliance that can confidently vacuum and mop simultaneously is genuinely transformative.

The Dreame H14 Pro also has the look and feel of a premium appliance. It's a smart vacuum-mop, with four cleaning modes and sensors to detect how dirty your floors are, allowing it to make automatic adjustments to thoroughly clean every mess. There's also a handy LED screen with information and graphics on moisture levels, battery life and cleaning mode.

And because it's cordless, it's a breeze to use around the house. No cord to plug in in each room, no distance limit. It's also incredibly flexible, and like the Tineco Floor One Stretch S6 and the Dyson WashG1, it can lay completely flat, so it's easy to clean under furniture.

All in all, the Dreame H14 Pro will transform your cleaning routine. It is so quick to grab it and clean your home that you're saving hours each month on chores. It also cleans itself and dries itself right on the dock, so there's little maintenance involved other than replacing the brushroll ever 6-12 months.

My only gripe with this model is its price, as a $700 retail price makes it a wildly expensive investment for homes that already have vacuums and mops. But now that it's discounted by $250, it's an affordable way to brilliantly elevate your home cleaning.
