Vacuum and mop in one pass · review
Four modes including a stairs mode, and a self-cleaning cycle that runs while the machine charges.
The bottom line The most complete floor washer here — and still silent on the one number that decides whether the roller smells.
The FCV 4 Natural N is the most complete floor washer on this site: four modes including stairs, a Dynamic!Control dirt sensor, two-stage filtration, and a self-cleaning cycle that runs while the machine charges.
Floor washers are abandoned because the roller sits damp. A self-cleaning programme that starts during charging removes the step that people skip, which is a better answer than a button they have to remember.
A flat pleated filter and a foam filter rather than one element. On a machine that pulls dirty water through a pump, that is what keeps the fine fraction out of the motor.
The wash temperature. The Tineco S6 states 85 °C and the Dreame H12 Pro 90 °C; Kärcher states that a cycle exists. On the figure that decides whether the roller smells, this page cannot rank it.

It changes the power and water delivery for short, awkward passes where the head cannot be driven forward. Stairs are the job every floor washer refuses, and most people end up doing them by hand — a mode that acknowledges them is unusual.
Because the step people skip is the one that has to be started deliberately. A cycle that runs while the machine is on charge happens whether you remember or not, which is exactly the right design for the failure mode of this category.
