The Brasil Philodendron brasil, also known as Philodendron hederaceumbrasil’, is a popular and easy-care houseplant known for its colorful, variegated leaves and vining growth habit. It gets its name for its resemblance to the colors of the Brazilian flag. The brasil plant boasts heart-shaped leaves with vibrant green and lime-yellow stripes that brighten up any indoor space. It’s often featured in modern interior designs, bringing life and color to spaces with its cascading vines.  

The ‘brasil’ is also well-known for its air-purifying qualities, as it can help filter toxins from indoor air, contributing to a healthier home environment. It is a member of the Araceae family, the Philodendron brasil is often mistaken for pothos due to its similar vining habit and heart-shaped leaves. However, its unique coloration and adaptability make it a prized choice for indoor gardeners looking to add a touch of the tropics. 

Native to Central and South America, Philodendron brasil thrives in tropical rainforests, where it naturally grows as a climbing or trailing plant.

In its natural habitat, it uses aerial roots to attach itself to tree trunks, which allows it to reach for dappled light through the dense canopy. This tropical origin makes it particularly well-suited for warm, humid indoor environments, where it can easily adapt to lower light levels and grow lush, cascading vines.

Its natural adaptability to both climbing and trailing forms makes it a versatile choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a table-top vine.

The Philodendron brasil has heart-shaped leaves with a soft, smooth texture and unique variegation, featuring deep green edges with bright, lime-green and chartreuse streaks running down the center. Each leaf varies in its pattern, giving the plant a dynamic, multi-toned look.

As it matures, the plant can grow vines that reach several feet in length, creating a beautiful cascading effect when grown as a hanging plant. With a mature height of about 2 feet in container settings and trailing vines that can extend to 6 feet or more, it’s a perfect fit for indoor spaces looking to achieve a lush, tropical look. 

Philodendron ‘Brasil’ rarely flowers indoors; however, in its natural environment, it produces small, insignificant flowers typical of the philodendron family. These blooms, while not particularly showy, appear as spathes and are designed to attract pollinators. 

Its popularity has grown alongside a surge in demand for variegated and tropical plants, making it a favorite for both beginner and seasoned plant collectors. With its forgiving nature and bold coloration, it’s frequently recommended as a top choice for those looking to start their plant journey.

When and How to Water Your Brasil Philodendron 

This is a pretty chill plant when it comes to watering – it's quite drought-tolerant, which means it can handle a bit of neglect when it comes to watering. It should never be kept in soggy soil for long, because Philodendron brasil is sensitive to excessive watering.

In the spring and summer growing season, water your Philodendron Brasil thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, usually about once a week for established plants. This plant is somewhat drought-tolerant, so if it’s mature and well-rooted, it can handle slightly extended periods between waterings if needed. Just be sure to allow any excess water to drain from the pot to prevent waterlogging and protect against root rot. 

As the plant enters its dormant season in the fall and winter, you'll want to reduce the frequency of watering. During this time, let the soil dry out a bit more between waterings, but still ensure that the plant doesn't completely dry out. It's best to water less often during the dormant season to mimic the plant's natural growth cycle. Overall, aim to water your Philodendron brasil moderately, ensuring the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged, to keep this lovely plant happy and thriving. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Philodendron brasil Plant

When it comes to Philodendron brasil indoor care, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Place your Philodendron brasil near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight throughout the day.

Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. If you notice the variegated leaves losing their vibrant colors, it may be an indication that the plant is not receiving enough light.

For outdoor cultivation, it’s essential to find a spot that offers filtered sunlight or partial shade. This climbing plant can handle some morning sun or dappled sunlight but should be protected from harsh afternoon sun, which can cause leaf burns.

Ensure it's in a location where it can benefit from gentle sunlight without being exposed to intense rays for extended periods. By providing the right balance of light indoors and outdoors, you can help your Philodendron brasil thrive and show off its beautiful foliage.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

For the Philodendron brasil, it's essential to use well-draining soil that retains some moisture but doesn't become waterlogged. A good mix for this plant would be a blend of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil to provide adequate drainage while retaining some water for the plant's roots. This type of soil will help prevent overwatering and root rot, allowing your brasil plant to thrive. Ideally, you want to use our specialized potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your brasil plant to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizer, you can feed your climbing Philodendron brasil with a balanced liquid NPK fertilizer with an equal ratio of 5-10-5, during the growing season in spring. Fertilize your plant once a year to provide it with the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and vibrant foliage. During the dormant season in fall and winter, you can reduce or stop fertilizing since the plant's growth slows down during this period. By following a consistent fertilizing schedule and using well-draining soil, you can ensure that your Philodendron brasil remains healthy and happy. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Philodendron brasil thrives in typical indoor temperatures ranging from 65-85°F. It prefers average to high humidity levels, so it's beneficial to provide some extra humidity through methods like misting the leaves or using a humidifier, especially during dry winter months when indoor air tends to be drier. Maintaining a comfortable temperature and humidity level indoors will help your Philodendron brasil grow lush and healthy. 

For outdoor cultivation, this plant is typically suitable for outdoor growth in USDA zones 10 to 11, where temperatures generally stay above 30°F. In these zones, the Philodendron brasil can thrive in a shaded or partially shaded area with warm temperatures and high humidity levels. By ensuring the plant is protected from cold drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations, you can help it flourish in an outdoor setting within the appropriate hardiness zones. 

Philodendron brasil prefers high humidity levels, ideally between 60-80%. If outdoor humidity levels are lower, consider misting the plant regularly or using a humidifier to create a more suitable environment for growth.

Wildlife – Brasil Plant Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The Philodendron brasil is known to attract pollinators by heating up its flowers such as bees, butterflies, beetles, and hummingbirds with its vibrant foliage and unique variegation. While the primary method of pollination for Philodendron plants is through wind and self-pollination, having these pollinators around can still benefit the plant and contribute to a healthy ecosystem. The attractive leaves of the Philodendron brasil can catch the eye of pollinators, adding beauty to your indoor or outdoor space. 

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

Toxicity: According to the ASPCA, the brasil plant is considered mildly toxic to pets and humans. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and discomfort if ingested by animals. But it is safe to touch and handle, as long as the sap is not ingested.

How to Propagate Philodendron brasil 

To propagate your Philodendron brasil, you can use stem cuttings. Choose a healthy stem with a few leaves and make a clean cut just below the node. Place the cutting in water or a well-draining soil mix, ensuring the node where the leaf meets the stem is submerged or buried. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment with indirect light, and roots should start to develop in a few weeks. Once the roots are established, you can transplant the cutting into a pot with potting soil to continue growing your Philodendron brasil collection. 

Key Takeaways 

  1. Philodendron brasil is moderately drought-tolerant, making it resilient in low-water conditions and perfect for those who may occasionally forget to water.
  2. Known for its air-purifying qualities, Philodendron brasil helps filter toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air, contributing to a healthier home environment.
  3. This plant adapts well to lower light conditions, making it ideal for indoor spaces with indirect or diffused light.
  4. With a straightforward propagation process via stem cuttings, the brasil plant is easy to multiply, allowing plant enthusiasts to share it or expand their collections.
  5. Its unique, heart-shaped leaves are variegated with green and bright yellow, giving it a striking appearance that adds vibrant greenery to any indoor setting.

The Bottom Line

Overall, the Philodendron ‘brasil’ is a stunning, low-maintenance popular houseplant prized for its heart-shaped leaves with striking variegation in shades of deep green and vibrant yellow, resembling the colors of the Brazilian flag. This vining plant not only adds a tropical touch to any indoor space but is also remarkably easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts alike. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions, maintaining its unique color patterns with minimal sunlight. Regular watering to keep the soil lightly moist and occasional feeding during the growing season helps this philodendron flourish, while it tolerates periods of dryness if needed. With its air-purifying qualities and fast-growing vines, the Philodendron ‘brasil’ is a versatile, eye-catching addition to homes and offices, perfect for trailing from shelves or as a climbing accent on plant supports.

Love, love, love my 30 C Max!!
Size: 03-30C Slim Max
OMG! This is one the single best purchases I've made! It's a life changer! I can wash dishes, walk the dog, do laundry, work on computer, workout, work in the yard, go shopping, etc., while vacuuming. I love the multitasking it provides. Saves so much time and my floors have never been so consistently cleaned. I wouldn't say I hate vacuuming, but I do dislike it enough that I didn't vacuum as much as I should've. I dreaded taking vacuum out of closet, getting arm and back fatigue/achiness then needing to wrap it up to store it away..... I truly thought the Eufy would be something I'd end up returning because of poor performance or because I would simply not like or use it. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I loved it from the very first use!.... Can't understand why I hadn't bought one long ago! Everybody needs one; they just don't know it!..... I named it 'WOW' because that's what I kept saying as I watched it clean my floor. It cleaned under my bed which alone made it a keeper! It's quiet, so much so, during first uses I searched for it thinking it had turned off/stopped working when actually it was working perfectly, I just couldn't hear it. I had to go into the room and stand near it to hear it. An equally important factor is it doesn't frighten my easily frighten dog which could have been a deal breaker (happy dog = happy life). She just looks at, occasionally will follow, it with curiosity or ignores it. Probably the best compliment is my husband (who often thinks a purchase is not needed/money wasted) having said my WOW was a good/useful buy. I was shocked! Think his exact words were, "Getting that was a good idea". When I asked him why he said that, he said because it's helpful and it does a good job..... Set up was super easy (I don't use app. One reason I chose this model is I wanted to use manual remote). The included accessories show Eufy's thoughtfulness which helps to put their vac over the top. (I plan to use only original replacement brushes, filters in appreciation and support for their offering a quality product at a great price) ..... I thought I wouldn't like the random movement and had strongly considered the 30G Edge (took me forever to decide b/w the two), but I find I really like the randomness. I feel it similarly patterns the way I'd normally vacuum (as well as it being normal needing to pick up cords, etc. , so to me that isn't a negative). The random pattern makes it quick. Can use remote if feel a spot was missed (which is why I wanted remote), but it does clean whole area - just set it and forget it. I now know the slow, streamline pattern of the 30G Edge would have been frustrating..... I could go on and on, e.g., drop sensors work flawlessly, spot cleaning helpful for entry rugs, empty/cleaning dust bin/filter is quick and easy, boundary strips have been helpful - only downside is strip packaged in a roll makes it not lay straight once unrolled (ends curl up); perhaps it could be in strips instead of a roll, and to ensure no damage, I chose to use painter's tape to attach strip to floor, and battery life good so far. I have always needed to turn it off before battery ran low because the floors were done. Once I let it continue to test the battery length, but it was taking so long I ended up turning it off after approximately an hour. It successfully finds dock, takes extra time if obstacles blocking its way..... To end a long review I will lastly say I feel the suction power is very adequate; leaves passage trails on carpet and evidential proof in the dust bin! Like others, I chose Eufy because of Anker's reputation, and because of the good customer service reviews. Thinking of getting a second one for upstairs... Love, love, love my 30C Max!

One year in- DONT DO IT :(
Size: 01-X10 Pro Omni Black, Size: 01-X10 Pro Omni Black
ONE YEAR IN REVIEW I have mixed thoughts because I really like it, the app is great, it cleans great. I’ve stayed on-top of all the maintenance the app has asked me to do and found replacement parts here and there as needed. I have it run everyday and it does a great job, works about as good as I could have imagined in terms of cleaning. Unfortunately exactly one year after purchasing it, 6 days after the one year warranty expired, I started having issues. For about a week I got the same error of “roller brush stuck”. I cleaned the brush, paid for replacement parts, followed every trouble shooting suggestion in the app, same error. Contacted support and did everything they told me to do in terms of trouble shooting. On Reddit I learned this is a common problem and probably from a motor issue. Worked with support for a few weeks and eventually they offered to repair it for me, even though it was a few days over the warranty. Super stoked with that. But had the weirdest interaction with the support people, felt like I was dealing with some like 3rd party questionable service, just not the interactions I expected for such a “high end” expensive product. Contacted them through the app, got an email response and they sent me a shipping label. I packed it up very well, wrapped it up, and sent it off for repair. Like two weeks later get it back on my doorstep, in the same box I sent it in, but all squished. Vacuum just set ontop of the same bubble wrap I sent it in, but like not wrapped or protected . Device was clearly beat up, everything in the box was wet and there were random parts scattered throughout the box and a panel missing from the top of the vacuum that wasn’t even in the box. Also just realized MULTIPLE parts are missing. I’m not only missing a random panel, but also a brush guard, filter and dust bin, all pieces that I sent in. I literally feel like I got scammed. So confused and disappointed. For like a $900 vacuum and only one year out, I’m disappointed to have had such a major issue so quickly and to have such an unprofessional experience with the service group. I’ve never seen something packed so poorly and was shocked, like actually dumbfounded to have found that parts are missing and like such an obvious one too, literally the panel on-top, I noticed it before the box was even open all the way. I couldn’t tell you if it worked or not because with exposed wiring and chips from the missing panel plus all the other missing parts, it literally cannot be used, it’s useless. No idea what to do now besides pray they sent me parts or just replace the thing. UPDATE: 40 something emails later I finally begged someone to send me a new device. Their original suggestion was for me to buy all the replacement parts they took and they would refund me 15% back, ridiculous in my opinion, but I literally cannot buy the most important part, the top panel that was stolen, it’s not something they sell. The “new” device they finally sent me was all scratched up with dirt, gravel, kitty litter and cat food scattered throughout the packaging. The vacuum was literally covered in the gravel and all scratched up. Clearly a returned device that was sent back dirty and no one cleaned it up before sending it to me. I thought it was all cleanable but the scratches were deep and one is right over the camera. I asked if I could exchange it and was literally told I should be grateful they sent me anything and they wouldn’t help me anymore… The customer service is so bad it’s just not worth it, get something else, save yourselves the struggle. Because of all this, I wouldn’t recommend this product. For the price, I’d expect it to last more than a year without a major repair issue needed (replacing the motor) and I’d expect better customer service and a better warranty. Stay away, it’s too expensive and too risky :(

Eufy 30C is MARVELOUS!
Size: 07-C30
I purchased this Eufy 30C after 6 months of chiding from my sister, who has one. Eufy - where have you BEEN my whole life! I have uneven saltillo tile floors in this home - I was sweeping floors nearly everyday just trying to keep the floors clean in this desert environment. On a daily basis, I just could NOT keep the floors clean enough for our barefoot habits. This vacuum cleans VERY well! I turn it loose every day - it cleans under furniture and beds, it cleans my lower-nap area rugs very nicely. I use the Auto mode (random cleaning pattern). The bumper is gentle on furniture legs and walls, the sweeper automatically goes into/out of baseboard cleaning - it cleans all along the walls! Most rugs I can leave in place and let the sweeper clean those, also. The few rugs that do get caught up in the brush, I just pick up before starting the cleaning. I have moved cords so they are permanently not in the way, so I only had to deal with those issues once. The suction on this vacuum is terrific - the combination of the spinning side brushes and the roller brush pick up everything. If the sweeper has been there, the area is spotless! It moves easily from floors to rugs. I normally run the sweeper as we are having breakfast - it is very quiet, although a little "rattling" as it moves across these saltillo tiles. I have used the daily programmed mode, but personally prefer to run it when I am "ready" (some rugs picked up). The vac does not ever seem to "miss" a room using this random pattern, and eventually it seems to get everywhere in a room. It just roams around the house and does it's thing - WITHOUT my help, and better job than I did on a daily basis! I have a large, heavy-nap area rug that I prefer to run the regular sweeper on once a week rather than have my Eufy waste sweeping power there. I placed the boundary strips under the very edges of that rug to keep the Eufy off. This works most times although, occasionally, Eufy finds his way onto that carpet, anyway. I have to remind myself, but I do use an upright sweeper on all the rugs and a canister sweeper for the tile about every one to two weeks. I empty the waste container everyday when cleaning is finished (I am always amazed at how much this sweeper "finds" and picks up!). I also clean the filters everyday with a small, battery powered hand vac (opposite the direction of airflow of the Eufy). This seems to remove the fine dust from the filter. I did purchase an additional filter set. Each week, I change the filter to a clean one, and wash out the used filter under running-spray tap water and let it dry. The filters are disposable pressed paper (and a small foam filter sheet that is also washable), but I have interchanged these two filters for 6 months and they are still working just fine. Emptying the waste container and cleaning/changing the filters is extremely easy and fast. I clean the roller brush of hair and carpet fuzz as needed. I have contacted the company with questions and they were extremely responsive. I also had the brush guard replaced from the company without any issues or questions at all. Customer service was very nice. (I believe the uneven tiles just wore on a very small rubber piece and it eventually came off. Looking back, I really don't believe it affected the performance of the sweeper, or the brush guard, at all. If it happens again, I probably will not bother to replace it). I cannot think of one dislike I have of this Eufy 30c. I believe the price was extremely reasonable for the excellent job it does. It has made a big difference in the attitude I have about this house as the one, most annoying, issue I had - seemingly constantly dirty floors - is now a non-issue. If this sweeper broke down tomorrow, I would have trouble getting another here fast enough!

Great for large amounts of pet hair
Color: Black04
Unboxed it today and got it cleaning the main part of the house after just charging it to 51%. I am still having trouble believing how good it is, especially in cleaning up clumps of pet hair all over the place. We have multiple dogs and cats who shed constantly and copiously, and I have black floors to boot (pro tip: pets and black floors are a bad combination). In addition, the beasts keep tracking in mud/dirt from the backyard and leave muddy (when raining) and dusty (when dry) paw marks all over the place. So I set out to see how the S7 would deal with the worst of it. I decided to not manually vacuum first because I wanted to stress-test it with a week's worth of pet hair clumped all over the place along with a filthy floor. I installed the Roborock app on an Android tablet (with no Google account on it, got the app off apkpure, natch), created a Roborock account, and used the app to connect the robot to my Wifi and install a firmware update which was available. I then filled the water reservoir and snapped on the mop attachment with the mop cloth on it. Then as soon as the charge level hit 51% I pressed the "Clean" button in the app and waited to see how the robot would tackle the very unclean floor. The S7 was totally up to the challenge, and right out of the dock it left a strip of unbelievably clean floor. Now I wish I had taken photographs, because this thing just went gangbusters on all the clumps of hair and dust on the floor and I'm still pleasantly shocked by how good a job it did. The area mapping algorithm is pretty efficient and effective - it divided up non-rectilinear areas into blocks of rectangles, and after systematically cleaning the rectangular area it went to clean the irregularly shaped areas (of which my house has many; I think the architect hated 90-degree angles and liked conic sections). As the robot moves about doing its business, the app shows real-time progress of the robot's movement as well as new areas of the map appearing - if you've played an RPG computer game, the map update as the LIDAR refines the map and shows new areas is very like how games like Baldur's Gate, Diablo, etc uncover new areas of the map as you explore them. It did most of the main area in 34 minutes, using up 32% of charge. Just as it negotiated the tall bumpy threshold into one of the bedrooms, it decided it needed to return to the dock for charging. Now, that threshold between the bedroom and the main area is quite large, and I was expecting that I'd need to go help the robot back into the main area so it could go dock itself, but after a few seconds I heard it trundling back in and it headed straight to the dock and plugged itself in to charge. At this point I plucked it off the dock to see exactly how much trouble it had gotten itself into with all the pet hair it had sucked up so far. I expected that the roller would be wound solid with pet hair and that I'd need a session with scissors and patience. It was not needed - the roller was completely clean, and most of the pet hair it had sucked up was in the dust bin. One compressed clump of pet hair was up against a wall, but I think it got dislodged there as the robot cleaned the floor at the wall junction. The dustbin itself could be designed a bit better because it has a couple of baffles across the top of it (under a removable filter) which make it a little difficult to empty the dustbin of pet hair - I had to pick out clumps with my fingers and pitch them in a dustbin. No biggie, though. I then checked the state of the mop cloth to see whether the cleaned-up pet hair was felted to the cloth, and again I was impressed by how little pet hair was actually on the mop cloth; I expected lots but found almost none, which was further proof that the robot had vacuumed up whatever it encountered. The water reservoir was about half empty. Sound-wise, the robot is not that noisy when cleaning - to me it seems to be less noisy than a regular non-robotic vacuum cleaner. The robot is currently resting (charging) and I've refilled the water reservoir. Can't wait to see how the algorithm handles cleaning when it has to resume cleaning where it left off. One thing I have to mention: since Roborock is a Chinese company I had some privacy concerns regarding house maps etc (remember the Roomba scandal from a few years ago?) which remain to be assuaged, but the company's product page for the S7 MaxV Ultra (the S7's bigger better brother) states that they have privacy certifications from a well-known German arbiter whose name escapes me at the moment, so perhaps this is not going to be a problem after all. All in all, I am VERY impressed by this thing and will definitely be buying the AutoDock for it. Next year, I'll buy its bigger brother the S7 MaxV Ultra (with double the suction power, and a snazzy self-cleaning AutoDock) when I have some money to drop on it.

Impressive upgrade from S5.
Color: Black04
I recently replaced my Roborock S5 with this one when the S5 died. This version genuinely impresses me. It is quieter than the S5, even on Max; has better pickup; has a better designed side brush and dustbin (top mount of filter minimizes the filter dirtying, but makes emptying it a little more awkward); and it has a mopping function that is actually useful. I have to mop a lot less now. The sound it makes also is much less annoying, so I don't mind having it run while I am home anymore. I mop a lot because I have two old Yorkies who are about to pass away, and they're frequently leaving bladder, stomach and or bowel contents on the floor. I also have a cat who thinks it's fun to pee in the cat box and poop next to it. As long as you don't tell it to clean up a pet mess that should be picked up or wiped up instead, it is very useful for helping to clean up pet messes once the pee or puke has been sopped and wiped up, or the poop has been picked up. When I need it to clean up the remnants of messes like that, I use 3% hydrogen peroxide in the water tank instead of water. It cleans, disinfects and doesn't harm the S7. If you have old, sick and/or clueless pets and they make significant messes it might encounter while you are not available then you will either need to lock them up while it runs and check for messes first, or get one that can avoid pet messes. That is the only drawback I see this machine having. The software is excellent. I was able to have it map the house and then easily and quickly correct the "rooms" layout it had concluded were in play. They weren't far off, either. I have it set to vacuum automatically in Balanced mode every week day, and do a deep mopping of the house every weekend day, a few hours after it vacuums the house at max. The level of configurability is top notch. Can't believe how well it mops. Stuff I would have had to pull out the mop for before, it can and does handle for me. Dried up pet puke, dried spills, even dried spills that have managed to collect a lot of dirt because they're sticky from sugar. I only have to pull out the mop once a week now, instead of up to 3x a day. When I'm cleaning the remnants of a pet mess that is oily, such as wiped up urine, I put down some dish soap on that spot on the ground and then let the machine spread it around while it mops to get rid of the oily residue. Until I cleaned up all the power cables on the floor, it had a tendency to get stuck on them while mopping. While it always found a way to get out of being stuck, this caused it to make puddles of dirty mop water that later dried up and left spots that I had to have it go back and mop up. Solution: make sure it can't get caught on power cables! That was my fault, so all I can say here is that I'm impressed that it can get itself un-stuck each time. This makes my life much easier, in multiple ways. I don't have to vacuum anymore. I only mop a fraction as much as I was doing before. And I can breathe better because the vacuum picks up better than before and the mop actually does clean the floor. Every time I have washed the mop pad it has created muddy water in the sink while I'm scrubbing soap into it. So far only one of those times has involved a pet mess that should have been picked up before it ran, so I know the "muddy water" results from fine dust and dirt that is on the floor that can't just be vacuumed up. The mop feature cleans a lot of fine dust off the floor, and that really helps me breathe better. I have what one doctor called "hypersensitive lungs", and dust makes me cough a lot. This isn't cheap, but it's worth the cost if you need to keep your house much cleaner than otherwise with a minimum of work on your part. Yes, you have to clean the mop pad every 1-2x it mops, but this takes about 3 minutes. I pop it in the sink, give it a few drops of dish soap or a few pumps of hand soap, and throw in an inch of hot water. Scrub it against itself until the water is good and muddy, and then drain and repeat the scrub against itself in fresh water without more soap. It will dirty that somewhat as well, and then be clean. Battery life is enough to vacuum my whole house on Max and then deep-mop it at maximum agitation as well, and still be around 56% battery. (My house is a little smaller than average.) The water tank can clean my entire house in one go on a standard vacuum and mop run with max water drip, but deep mopping is best done a room at a time with a tank check after each. I also have a female family member with very long hair who lives in this house. The brush is almost immune to getting wrapped up in her hair. Her hair was absolutely killing the S5's brush roll; I would have to clean it about once a week, and it wasn't always easy. I have had to spend maybe a few seconds once removing her hair with the new roll, and without even checking until a month after buying it. Even then it was only a few strands. Impressive. All in all, very pleased. This is a critical and very necessary appliance in my house, both because it lets me spend more time on my business instead of cleaning, and because it cleans well enough to make it much easier to breathe. This should definitely be at least one of your top two or three options. My research showed that there were only one, maybe two other vacuum systems that were worth considering as of this review. Given how crowded the market is, that's impressive. I'm very happy with my choice, and I will not be looking back.
