Great mop at a great price!

I've used a swiffer wet jet for the past several years, so I didn't even know there were other similar options out there. But recently, the handle on my swiffer completely cracked in half, making it impossible to use. So I jumped on revain to buy a new one cheaper than the ones at the stores. But then I discovered these reusable microfiber mops with the refillable bottles. Sounded like a great idea, with little risk in at least trying it out. But then I wasn't sure which one to get. At first I was hesitant about buying this one, since I was unfamiliar with the brand & had read some negative reviews. But it seemed like the best value, plus it had all of the things I didn't even realize I was looking for until I read about them. I've now used it several times & have not yet been disappointed.The fact that it comes with two refillable bottles was a huge selling point for me. I think it's amazing that I no longer have to buy the swiffer refills, which were limited on options & very pricey. Plus now I can use one bottle with a solution for cleaning the hardwood floors & one bottle with a solution for cleaning the vinyl/tile floors. A lot of other sellers only offered one bottle & there was no option to purchase an extra bottle by itself. The only other mop I saw which also offered two bottles was over twice as much money as this one. Some users mentioned the bottles being so small. And while they are smaller than most people are probably used to, they hold plenty enough solution for multiple cleanings. And I have had no issues with them leaking, which is something else that others experienced.It also comes with 3 reusable microfiber pads. and let me just tell you that there is an extreme difference between those & the swiffer pads. They actually pick up the dirt etc. rather than just pushing it around the floor like the swiffer pads tend to do. Plus they seem to clean much more thoroughly as well. And the fact that they can be reused multiple times is just yet another way to save money. Also, if you're like me & you have some swiffer pads leftover or you prefer to use disposable pads instead, this mop allows for the use of those in addition to the reusable pads. Which is very convenient. I also loved that it came with multiple pads because I can use one pad for the vinyl/tile flooring and one for the hardwood floors, while washing the other for next time use. Although one more pad would have made this completely unbeatable so that two pads could be in use while two were being washed. So if the seller reads this, four pads total would be another feature that buyers would find very appealing for that reason.Another thing I was a little worried about was the sprayer. I've been so used to the battery operated swiffer that I wasn't sure I'd like using this type of sprayer. But in fact, I like it much better. I can control exactly how much I spray, depending on how soiled the floor is. Plus it's very comfortable to use. And do I need to mention it again?. yet another way to save money by not needing to replace batteries, ever.Last but not least, it comes with a handy brush/scraper tool that snaps right onto the handle of the mop. I was concerned that I wouldn't really use it, let alone like it, since I'd have to bend down to scrub when needed. But it works so much better than the little scrubber part located on the front of the swiffer. I rarely even used that function of the swiffer because it never really worked very well, so I'd end up bending over to scrub the tougher areas anyway. But the scraper for this mop performs well. And the brush can be used for scrubbing the floor also. But the best part about the brush is that after mopping, you can use it to "brush out" some of the dirt/dog hair etc. from the microfiber pad so that you don't have to toss it into your washer with all of that mess on it. It's also easy to do & takes only a minute or two.I don't think I've ever written a review this long & if you're still reading, I hope you find my opinions worth your time. But I can assure you that this mop will definitely be worth buying. It's a good quality mop, so I don't have any fears that it will break in half like my swiffer did. It was the same price as the swiffer, but it will also save money from not having to continuously purchase new pads, solution refills & batteries. And it cleans so much better, plus allows me to choose the solution I use on my floors, with the convenience of having two different solutions ready to use at anytime for my different types of flooring. Try it out! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Pros
  • This mop is also great for those who want to avoid using harsh chemicals in their homes
Cons
  • The bottles may not hold enough liquid for larger cleaning jobs
