Je songe à « aspirateur lave-plancher », « aspirateur-laveur »... mais il existe peut-être déjà un terme français?

Autant suivre la piste de « nettoyage »... et, finalement, je crois superflu de traduire « bare ». Merci.

Notes to answerer
Asker: En lisant « ... great for cleaning linoleum, marble, vinyl, laminate, ceramic, tile floors and sealed hardwood » au site cité, j'ai présumé que « bare floor » signifiait simplement « plancher sans tapis », mais c'est peut-être seulement présumé! Merci.

Asker: Must not be very far of the middle of the target :) "Laveur-aspirateur" is a good idea. Thx

Asker: True! I had gone in many directions, but not there, I'm sorry. However, we may keep searching a solution to encompass the cleaning feature, because our purpose is to name a whole category. It's like if the name "Flip-It" here made the cleaning function implicit. Thx very much.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Some of them probably wax too. Then, you'd suggest that "bare floor" stands for "parquet", which is generallly wood?
