I was encouraged to get a mop by a coworker, and so I did. Delivery was quick (however, to be completely forthright, I had already talked with a store employee). It worked great as a manual steam generator when I used it to clean the kitchen set and the oven, but I haven't tried using it as a mop yet. When handling chemicals, wiping your hands with a cloth is optional. It's a lot more fun, it goes a lot faster, and it's cleaner, at least in my perspective. Tiles and a stretch ceiling that I tried out with various nozzles also came out well. Ceiling and tile work at eye level can be exhausting because of the strain placed on the hand. The reviews all said it was heavy, and I would have to agree. Therefore, for this price, the acquisition is final and satisfactory.
