I want to know the same. A large local flooring store steered me towards Mohawk revwood over LVP because it looks and feels more like wood, is less slippery, more scratch resistant, has a 10 year waterproof warranty and was less expensive. I would say it is hands down a winner over LVP for me based on their recommendation. And you’d think they’d be trying to sell me something more expensive not less.
But particle board doesn't react well to moisture. I wouldn't trust the laminate and water, even if they call it water proof. Plus, I'd argue LVP is more scratch resistant than laminate. There's been many videos on RUclips perform tests to show this.
I had laminate flooring for about 11 years and it has multiple water damage areas. Everytime , i would be stressed when people not carefully and spill water on it. I just installed vinyle flooring. First thing i noticed is when stepping on it, it feels better solid when ur subfloor is even. I have few spots where subfloor is not and i can feel a dip and the plastic feeling. I also compared both side by side and notice that laminate has woods vs vinyl is completely none wood material. I took a piece of vinyl scrap from the installer and soacked in water for about 1 hr and it was in good condition. My conclusion is that laminate feels more durable because it partially made out of wood. Vinyl is 99.99 waterproof but it is partially made out of plastic.
What are your thoughts on Mohawk puretech, vs solidtech, vs revwood???

What about toxic fumes, laminate vs LVP?
What's up with the microphone 🎤🎙️?
It’s a lavalier mic! Super good for short and casual vids like this one:)
Laminate looks more realistic, has better scratch resistance, and won't fade in the sun

is the only benefit of laminate being a little cheaper for the material.. and.. the "feel of it" when barefoot?
