I just broke the second one in as many months - both times I was bearing down on a spot in the floor, with mild to moderate pressure, and the handle snapped into.
I had the Swiffer Wet Jet...which stopped working after just a few uses...was way to flimsy...and took forever to clean with. I was at the store to get another one and the Reveal (silly name) was thankfully right next to it. I love that it has twice the cleaning surface, is WAY sturdier and swivels WAY more easily. I LOVE the wash and reuse pad, and the refillable bottle. I use vinegar-based homemade cleaners, so it is perfect for me. To think I was going to give the Wet Jet another try. So glad I found this mop...this is a stellar product! I've already recommended it to others!

I purchased the old style and fell in love with the product. Purchased 3 more for other family members. After wear and tear, I purchased another one and broke after 2 uses..returned and same thing happened. Went back and purchased another one and broke again (the spray unit would not continously spray). I think store got tired of me replacing them. Finally purchased the new and improved..far from being improved. I have same problem with this one. Its sprays and I have to wait 3 to 4 minutes for it to spray again..very disapointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Reveal Mop trigger should only require an easy pulling motion to spray, similar to a spray bottle. If the trigger appears to be sticking or doesn't allow you to spray more than once, please contact our Consumer Service Department at 888-895-2110 Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm ET.
Please note that we have found that the trigger can be delayed if the mop is clogged or if a heavy, waxy cleaner is being used. To flush the mop, fill the bottle with hot water, insert back into the mop, and pull the trigger several times to unclog.
I bought this mop with two extra pads. It has just stopped spraying. I bought my Mom and sister the same mop, because I loved mine. So, I have bought three mops and mine won't work. I love the ease and convenience but it stopped working. I think rubbermaid needs to replace my mop.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We do apologize that you are having trouble with your Reveal Mop. Some tricks for use:
1. Run the tip of the bottle under warm water for up to a minute before inserting into the mop. 2. Fill the bottle with hot water and "prime" the mop by pulling the trigger 5-10 times to pump the solution through to clear any clog that may be present.
If you feel your Rubbermaid item is defective and failed shortly after purchase, we ask that you contact our Consumer Services Department toll free at 888-895-2110, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. EST, M-F.
I used my spray mop 6 or 7 times and it just stopped spraying. I came onto this website to find a way to get help and no where can I find a way to give any feedback.
I am very unhappy cause I loved the mop the times I did work.

I am on my second mop, after the first one broke at the base. Also, the button to push for liquid got stuck and wouldnt spray. I am on my second but, not surprised it's discontinued. I hope the features will be improved upon. Loved the idea!
I've had this mop for less than a year and I really like it. I have the problem where the bottle is collapsed, and I cannot get it to re-expand. This means I can't get the proper amount of water in it. Any suggestions for how to get it re-expand? Was this solved in the "new and improved" version? Otherwise, it does a great job.
i have gone through 3 of these mops in 2 years. i keep replacing because 1, i love the convenience, 2, like using my own safe cleaner, & 3 i have invested in extra bottles & many cloths so i can have bottles filled at the ready & always have extra cloths. but i think I'm done replacing. the trigger just decides to stop working. it doesn't start to act up it just stops. with it being a rubbermaid product, not having any electrical components & for the price i thought it would last longer then it does. i guess if you don't use often its a good product, but i use to everyday.
