The trigger works better than the old ones. Still is not very sturdy if you need to scrub much. Be nice to have a scrubber pad on the ENTIRE bottom. Afraid to use much pressure with the handle because it feels so flimsy and I already snapped one in half.
I have both the old and new and improved models, they both work the same, except the new one has the scrubber. I use to have a scrubby pad on the floor not far from me incase I found a spot that needed extra scrubbing. With the new mop, I tried the scrubber and it worked on very light scrubbing. I was afraid to really give it a real work out. I really did not like the feel of the handle when I started to scrub. It felt like it could break, so I'll keep my scrubby on the floor with me. I mop every other day, I only have tile floors, so I need to stay on top of it. The very first time I used the mop, it took a bit of time for the the spray to come out. I kind of expected this so I made sure I had the extra time for that. I love the washable pads, I keep several on hand. I always have a clean one on the mop, just incase of spilled dog water, or a muddy floor.
This worked once, now it leaks & won't spray. It's completely useless. Don't waste your money. It creates more of a mess than anything else.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this product along with several pricey washable pads only to have the squirting mechanism quit working before the mop was six months old! I had to use a Windex bottle to spray the cleaner on the floor. Today, with the mop less than one year old, the handle snapped at the base whilst I was cleaning the kitchen floor. Now I am forced to either go out a purchase ANOTHER inferior Reveal mop so I can make use of the washable pads I purchased, or spend even more money and purchase the Bona Floor System which appears to be more sturdily constructed. I will have to say the re-usable cleaning pads are excellent, they wash well and last at least a year.
Tried the previous reveal mop. Loved the concept of using my own cleaner, and being able to just wash the mop head. The old one came apart every time you put any pressure on the mop head to scrub. It was very frustrating. The new mop, with a scrubber pad on the front and a new connection from the shaft to the mop head, is wonderful!! Makes cleaning easy, breezy :) Thanks for actually improving the product, and not just saying it!!
My wife and I run a Fl motel and manage other condos. We started using a competitors mop and that thing broke apart weekly. We admit that we are rough on these.We switched to the Reveal mop and what an improvement but still had problems with handle breakage, sprayer, bottle and other little problems. We kept at least 3-4 of these at all times. We just recently purchased the Improved version and Wow.. All of the obvious problems were addressed. Better handle, sprayer, bottle removal, base attachment. The even took the wrapper off the bottle that peeled with use. This is used commercially cleaning rooms daily. It makes our job quicker, does a great job cleaning and washes up when your done. I've never written a review of any product before..that's how much I liked it.
Great concept, just improve so it more stronger. The handle breaks at the base where the head and handle meet, and it breaks where the handle meet the bottle base. I have purchase two of them and find they are breaking. Please make the handle stronger.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is not a well-made product. The seal on the bottle leaks, and frankly makes a big mess. I purchased it because I felt it would be a good product because of its brand. Boy was I wrong! I found myself getting down and scrubbing with a brush rather than using the mop. I'm so disappointed! Rinsing is the only thing I can use it for.
