Does anyone have experience with or know of...

I've seen it in several very upscale homes and it can look very convincing if done well. It has a softer feel than hardwood but is more durable and much easier to care for. We have luxury vinyl tile (same material but the texture and color looks like stone) in one bathroom. Much friendlier to bare feet than cold porcelain tile. ;)
 

I have linoleum in my kitchen that is 23 years old and people still ask if it’s a wood floor.

I have laminate flooring in the front of the house and one bedroom. Or as some of the Uppity-ups on HGTV like to call it hardwood floor’s, ugly cousin.

I really don’t care what they think. It suits my lifestyle and after all these years, there are still no scratches in it from the dog’s toenails.
 
The cheaper versions are yuck. When you walk on them, you hear "click click". Ask me how I know this.

In one room, I now have the "luxury" vinyl plank, factory backed with underlayment. Waterproof. Not cheap but should last forever. I must add that I also had cork underlayment installed with it as an additional insulation on this concrete slab in Cold Country. It looks like real wood, beautiful.

In the main living area, there is commercial vinyl tile, glue down, like you used to see in stores and schools. You can't kill this stuff and it cleans nicely. I have two dogs that are in and out a lot, bringing mud and snow in and occasionally have an accident when I am gone for more than 4-5 hours. Wipe it up and done. It also has a very fine texture so non-slip, even when wet.
