Doesn't spray, PERIOD!!!! Like the appearance and nice to handle (like that part better than the swiffer) but can't seem to get it to spray. Had to use separate spray bottle. That was the reason I wanted a spray mop and I didn't want to buy a new bottle of cleaner all the time, so I choose the Reveal. Is their anything I can do to get the sprayer to work or do I have to return it. WHY don't you put instructions of some sort in the package as it might help.
I couldn't wait to get this mop, I love rubermaid products! Well, I wish I left it on the shelfish, when I used the spray instead of going on the floor it went all over the top of the mop and after only one use the handle broke! Now I need to go find another mop, very unhappy!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was so close to giving up on this product within the first 10 minutes of use. I could NOT get anything to spray! There are no instructions with the mop, so there was nothing telling me that it'll take keeping the mop upright for a while, then pumping it at least a dozen times before any spray will come out. Finally I came to this website, hoping for some answers. The reviews were the only place I could find realistic instructions. Rubbermaid, UPDATE YOUR PACKAGING! Let people know what it'll take to get it to spray. It really will save you many returns. After it finally started spraying, I was able to really see how great this mop is. The spray covers a good area, and the pad size is wonderful! The relatively thin top part (that the pad attaches to) is great as well, as I was able to get partially under my stove (which hasn't seen a mop in years). Being able to use your own product is such a great benefit. I have animals (one of which has allergies) so its nice to be able to use an all natural, pet friendly cleaning solution. Great job, Rubbermaid, but seriously get your act together with including instructions with the product.
I have to second the comment about the spray. I did not read the review before I bought this either, as Rubbermaid is such a big brand and I never doubted that I would have a problem with it. I bought this so I could use the natural cleanser I like even thought I already bought Swiffer wetjet which I never have any problem with. I found there was a mistaken in either the design or the manufacturing of the handle of this Rubbermaid mop, normally I have to wait for minutes before the handle get to the original position for the next spray. So I could not use this mop at all. Rubbermaid really needs to look into this!

Cleans wonderfully, really like being able to use own cleaner and not waste money on that other mop's liquid and pads. This is my second Reveal, the handle on my first one snapped, but great customer service...I received a replacement. However, if you want to remain happy with the mop, pay attention to the instructions! Rinse out the bottle cap each time and clear the sprayer (without bottle) to remove residue of the cleaning solution. Will keep spray working well!
I followed all of the instructions on priming the sprayer but after 25 to 30 trigger pulls I was still shooting blanks. I noticed that reservoir was leaking a little bit to. I again primed the sprayer and pumped it another 20 or 30 times, still shooting blanks! I left it standing upright and walked away. After 5 to 10 minutes I came back, pulled the trigger and voila, it started to spray. Once I got it working it took no time to clean my floors. Love the size of the pad, and the swivel capabilities. One huge drawback is the amount of cleaning solution that leaks! The top part of the pad holder was soaking wet , not to mention that the floor was getting more wet than needed.
Love using this product. Makes clean-up easy, the re-usable pad is easily washed and line dried and being able to use my own cleaning solution allows for versatility in cleaning different surfaces.. I use my reveal mop daily, nevertheless I was disappointed that after only 3 months the front assembly broke off at the joint. I did go ahead and bought another unit because I do like using it, but would not do so again should this also break as quickly.
