Review on Oshang Spin Mop And Bucket Floor Cleaning System With 2 Washable & Reusable Microfiber Mop Heads, 61-Inch Long Handle, Stainless Steel Spin Compartment. by Kenneth Barnes

I searched months for a new spin mop. I did spend probably much more time then most people because. I am 77 and have a number of disabilities. Thus any thing that can help me maintain my independence is very important to me. Keeping the house clean is a significant factor in maintaining this. An important feature which is the mop did not have when I finally decided to purchase it was its lack of wheels. Except for the lack of this feature, was very impressed when I received it. It is very sturdy, and I found it much easier to place the mop on the spin mechanism then on my previous spin mop. The most positive feature for me was the way in which the mop handle locked and unlocked to permit the mop to spin. My previous mop handle was of the type where one had to lock and Unlock it by turning the handle clockwise or counterclockwise to do this. It was confusing and ultimately, when someone who did not understand how to use it the mop handle broke and could no longer turn. The other unit I had, which was sturdy and appeared to be durable with a good spin mechanism as well as a mop head that had exceptional absorbency, had to finally be thrown out because the manufacturer could not help me fix or replace the broken handle.One of the positive features of this unit is that the diameter of the mophead is much larger than most others. It takes me half the time to clean an area! While the absorbency for most surfaces is adequate, because I have wood floors and because I had problems with warping in a previous house, I am very conscious of how well a mop can dry the floors. I do not find that the fibers, although they are very absorbent, I cannot obtain the same degree of dryness as with my previous one. I noticed that there still was water on the floor after I mopped it. Not much and probably negligible in other situations. To be on the safe side I go back over the area with a dry floor mop which has a terry cloth like texture to be sure it completely dry. It doesn’t take that long. I have no problem with my tile floors. Despite this I still find the unit overall to be even more user-friendly than the one I had or any that I have seen previously. So one suggestion I would make to the seller is to further refine the mop fibers so that they have even greater absorbency to dry the areas that were washed.The biggest initial drawback for me was that it dif not on wheels. I’m an older person who is not very strong. The fact that the bucket could be disassembled to the degree it is, unlike any other bucket I looked at does help decrease the weight of the bucket if one has to move it around. The lack of wheels still presented a big problem for me. However, I liked it so much and it made cleaning so much easier for me that I decided I had to give it wheels. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a small dolly using industrial strength hook and loop material with an adhesive back to attach the bucket to the dolly. It worked out great.Although I purchased this in February 2020, only now did I get back to write a review only to find that they now offer a bucket that has wheels and a handle! So it goes! Overall I am very happy with my bucket, especially now that it has wheels and a makeshift handle. (You should see how well it does on a ramp so I can bring it outside to empty it and not have to lift it.) Time alone will tell how well it will hold up in the long run.The mop head can be easily attached and detached -Another plus-so that it could be washed more thoroughly in the machine. The fact that there are not two separate buckets, one for washing and the other rinsing has not been a problem for me. If it continues to hold up as it presently does I certainly would highly recommend it to anyone. I have not had to contact customer service yet. It was good to hear from other reviewers that they have had positive experiences with customer service especially given my experience with a different company., Other than as noted it appears to be very durable and sturdy. I highly recommend it.
