Bought this mop a few months ago , worked great up until a few weeks ago. When i press the trigger to spray the trigger won't retract back , thus not allowing me to continue to mop. With a good smack on the container with the bottle it retracts (sometimes) leading to great frustration , I have gone back to an old fashioned mop and it works great , in short I wouldn't recommend this product.
I have bought this product now, at least 3 times. It has broke in one way or another. In general they have lasted longer then some of other previous reviews and i have continued to repurchase, maybe that is the plan. But hate the expensive refills of other products more.
Love the concept of this product, when it works well. Washable pads, ability to use your own cleaning solution, being able to do spot cleaning easily and quickly. However I am on my third one, and it will probably be the last one, which is unfortunate. The Trigger mechanism on my first two mops gave out within 6 months of use, I bought another reveal mop because I had purchased extra pads and was quite invested in the product. I will probably try a different brand when this one bites the dust
Ri received the mob as a Christmas gift, my friend said it was great. The one I have is terrible, the bottle will not stay on it will spray a few times then it stops I'am sorry that I asked for it . I will have to find some other way to clean Because this does not work at all
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very sorry to hear of the problems you're experiencing with your Reveal Mop. If the bottle is not staying in place, we ask that you please check to see if there is a blue foam ring that separates the bottle from the mop. This blue foam ring is part of the packaging and should be removed prior to use; once this is removed, the bottle will snap into place and "lock" the bottle in the mop.
For further assistance, please contact us at 888-895-2110 Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm ET.
because the bottle isn't inserted right. First time I used it, I noticed the curved part should wrap around the handle or the bottle won't push down into the cup good enough the trigger won't spray. Once I corrected that, it worked fine. I've only used it a few times so far and love the idea, but if the problems are corrected by Rubbermaid with a better built product so it doesn't break at the base of the handle, I would buy another one. One thing I don't care for is that it sprays upon furniture and my wood cabinets. That being said, I will report back later how it is working for me.
Usually love Rubbermaid products. I had Swiffer wet jet mops but I hated buying solution and throw away pads all of the time. Also, I press so hard when mopping that the handle would break. This handle is much sturdier and love that I can use my own solution and wash the pads. The only bad part is that the pump quit working after about a month. There is a warranty, but who saves a receipt for a mop for a month? My suggestion is if you buy this product, keep your receipt.

I've now owned two of these and both fell apart while in use. I love the fact that it spins on a dime and maneuvers great around and under furniture but the actual plastic it's made from does not stand up. It's advertised as being durable. I disagree.
I used this mop and LOVED it for over a year. Mop is still in great condition , the removable pads are in great condition. The issue is over time the O Ring has worn out and without it working properly the suction on the bottle isn't working. I've looked for replacements washer/ORings and can't find the due to the unusual shape which matches the bottle.

The O-rings located on the mop bottle are not available for replacement individually; however, the mop bottle can be replaced. The #1M18 Reveal Mop Bottle is available separately at WalMart, Target, The Home Depot, Meijer, and Menards.
