Review on Oshang Flat Squeeze Mop and Bucket - Hand-Free Wringing Floor Cleaning Mop - Includes 4 Washable & Reusable Microfiber Pads - Suitable for Wet or Dry Usage on Hardwood, Laminate, Tile Surfaces by Renee Walters

I was looking forward to this product. I know I can be called insane. I ordered another one first and was so disappointed with the poor execution of a great concept that I returned it after 1 use. I live near the beach, the house is 800 square meters, all floors are laminate or tiles. 2 toy poodles who still don't understand the importance of wiping their paws when they enter the house no matter how hard I try. I love the concept of this product: clean floors, backs and joints are safe. What I particularly like about the implementation of the concept in Oshang: The bucket is emptied the old-fashioned way: take it and empty it into the toilet, bathtub or sink. It might be a little heavy, but lifting it once is better than rinsing out a whole bucket of dirty water, as the floor-level drain came out when the mop head hit it. Can you say really really unhappy? On the top of the device there is a locking mechanism in the form of a clip; Easy to use and securely holds the top of the mop as you move the mop head up and down. It also has drainage channels on the dry side that effectively direct water back to the wet side. The handle is long enough. I'm slightly taller than the average woman and this grip is long enough to reach without stretching me. The pad at the top of the handle is also good for arthritis. Is it ideal, no. I would make 2 recommendations: 1. Add rubber bushings where the handle parts screw together to reduce/eliminate the tendency for them to come loose when the mop is in use. 2. Install a mounting bar on both sides of the squeegee head for bi-directional mounting. This reduces wear and tear for those who cannot use a full bucket of water due to weight restrictions. These changes don't cost a dime compared to mass production and improve the usability of this product. It's more expensive than other flat-headed mops and buckets in the space and well worth the money in my opinion. It's so impressive I have a Shark Power Mop for sale if anyone wants one!
