Just bought this. Love using my own solution, love the SIZE of the washable pad. Makes keeping my wood and vinyl floors so clean! I take the pad off of the unit and rinse it clean before moving onto a different type floor too... I've read some reviews that the handle broke or it didn't spray after several months or a year of working. I add up the cost of the swifter pads I use to buy and compare it to the value of buying this once maybe twice a year! Big deal! I am happy with the results and it is so fast with it's large pad!! Keeps me doing other things besides floors! Perhaps Rubbermaid will address some of the concerns and that would be the ultimate.. I'll keep using a product like this...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just bought the mop and have used it only twice, but love it. I really like the fact that I can use my own cleaning product in it. That was the whole purpose of buying it. So far, love it.....
I loved this mop when I first bought it but after using it for two months the handle broke. It was a good idea being able to use your own solution and not having to buy pads but they need to make the handle stronger. I was really disappointed considering the price that I paid for it and now I have to go out and buy another mop.
I loved this floor mop and recommended to family, friends and co-workers. What I especially liked about it was that it did not require batteries and used reusable/washable pads. However, I've had it for less than a year and much to my disappointment, today the handle/pole mechanism just broke off from the piece containing the spray bottle and mop pads! There was NO prior injury or damage to the mop to have caused it to do this, and it happened while I was carrying it to my kitchen...
It is no longer usable. I do not know if I will buy a new one, as much as I loved it, I don't want to waste my money and risk another one falling apart on me. Very disappointed with the quality of an otherwise GREAT product.

We do apologize that you are having trouble with your Reveal Mop. Some tricks for use:
1. Fill the bottle with hot water and place the bottle back onto the mop.
2. Once the bottle has been clicked into the mop, you may need to "prime" the mop by pulling the trigger to remove any clog that may be present blocking the sprayer.
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 was so pleased to purchase this product, loving the option of using your own cleaning fluids and having pads that were reusable. My first mopping was lovely. Two weeks later when I went to mop again, the sprayer feature is completely inoperable. I have tried cleaning all of the component parts, checking every possible issue to no avail. Now I have to remove the lid from the cleaning fluids bottle and pour it in the floor to use the mop. Very, very disappointed. Thought perhaps my issue was a fluke, but after reading the many reviews here, I see it's likely not. Boo!

Used this mop weekly for a month. Liked it ease of use and functionality. A month after purchasing, the spray mechanism failed, and would no longer spray. A dripping leak formed from the spray mechanism when depressing the trigger. The trigger pressure was sloppy, as if something broke down line. Verified leak did not come from bottle or seal. Checked and verified there was no blockage at the spray valve. Break and leak is internal. Have an inquiry in with customer service about the failure and likely defect of the unit. I expected better from a unit from Rubbermaid in this price range.
I searched for weeks to find this mop, it was always out of stock. I finally got one and I love it! I am able to use my own solution and I don't need to use as much. I have only had it for a week. I hope that it holds up better than others have said. So far, its perfect!
