Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I live in a multi-cat home and have dark hardwood floors throughout. My typical cleaning regimen was robot vacuum during the week, then weekends I would manually vacuum and then steam mop. Very time consuming, but it worked. When my steam mop died, I saw this product and thought it would be great to cut my time about in half. Unfortunately I'm really not a fan. The vacuum suction is great, but I've used 3 times now and have found that less than midway through cleaning I am getting streaks of dirty water. I tried stopping and emptying out that chamber (even though it's not full) and rinsing the brush with water in the tray as recommended, but then a few minutes back at it and it's happening again. I also have to scrape clumped wet hair and litter from the bottom of the broom a few times during cleaning. And this is just cleaning my open floor plan kitchen/living room/dining room, not the whole house. Also, because there is one chamber that collects both the liquid and the dry mess, it is incredibly gross to clean out. I had litter and hair mixed with dirty water and I have to use my hands to get it all out. Pouring it in the sink seems gross to me but the alternative is toilet or outside so I've been pouring as much liquid in the sink and then the wet solids in the trash and then have to sterilize the sink. I think a separate chamber for liquid and solid would be ideal but not sure if that can be designed! I feel like I can't really return it since I've used it so I plan to use the vacuum part of it and then just steam mop after like I used to. This is an excellent premise, but it really doesn't work for me. UPDATE: I have now had this for another month of use and am still not happy. I thought maybe it wasn't for cat houses but see other reviews where it works for cats. I feel like the small amounts of litter particles on the floor end up getting wet and clumping (as litter does) on the bottom of the vacuum so every 5-10 minutes I need to stop and get a paper towel to scrape away wet clumps of hair mixed with a little litter. And I get dirty water streaks on the floor right off the bat, so it's not like it's clogging after a while of use. It happens with rinsed out parts/brush and empty debris compartment. Maybe mine has a defect so I do plan to call. It's really frustrating to spend an hour or two cleaning and then having floors streaked with dirty water.
