The .44 magnum of mops

When these arrived, I wasn't sure what they were b/c there were two long boxes. I knew I ordered a mop but didn't expect two boxes. I like these so much I was actually anxious to go ahead and mop the floors even though they didn't really need it.There are three main things about these mops that make them stand out.First, the grip. There's a wooden base and a plastic one. They are both very light but strong. The plastic one doesn't have a rubber grip but isn't smooth plastic so it's very easy to keep a grip on it without being uncomfortable. The wooden one has a rubber grip on it that's superb. Even wet, you don't lose your grip on either of them and if your hand sweats it's dispersed so it doesn't feel "icky".Next is the assembly. Both of them have an assembly that snaps into place. The brushes stay put, but if you want to clean them or change them, it's a snap (no pun intended). This is tremendously helpful for cleaning them and even more so with storing them. You can put the mop part in a bad or a box, pull of the base and keep things organized and clean.Lastly is the brushes. Both of them are right at home if you have large spaces to mop. The one is quite wide (about a foot and a half wide) and the other one is probably the longest I've ever used. You can easily sweep up a floor first with the wide one, minimizing the amount of sweeping you have to do with a regular broom and then you can mop up with the other one using liquid. The mop will get a little heavy when it's fully wet b/c of the size, but that saves you trips back and forth to the bucket.Neither of them have a mechanism that allows you to wring out extra water but the mop is long enough you can just twist and push. The snap mechanism makes this whole process a breeze. The only other noteworthy item is the length, as you can see from the description they are 5 feet long each. This is very convenient and lets you clean a really long/wide area quickly.On top of it all, the sticks are both very light, so even if your mop is soaked, it's not heavy enough to be cumbersome.We have a robot vacuum run every day that handles the light stuff. I usually just make one pass sweeping and then go to the mop. Afterward you just pull off the brush, clean them and stow them in the closet. It's very easy and doesn't have the headaches you're used to when trying to store them.
