I loved this mop, it's easy to use and does a great job cleaning the floor. I have been using it for a few months in my home. BUT, gradually the spray mechanism became weaker and weaker until it stopped spraying altogether. I hope rubbermaid improves the sprayer on this mop. Great product but needs some adjustments. For the price it should last longer than 4 months. There is no point to market the reusability of a mop when you possibly have to buy a new mop every few months.
I was so excited to use this because, like everyone else, I hate mopping! I think it's great that it's reusable and refillable. Unfortunately, I could never get it to work! The sprayer never sprayed out any solution. I primed the bottle a bunch of times, that seemed fine, and I tried pulling the trigger for five minutes straight and nothing ever came out.
I just got this mop and bought the dry dusting pad with it. I must say that I love the dry duster. Have a very dusty house with dark laminate flooring - so dust always shows. This mop was a breeze to get rid of the dust, where has it been sinced I had the floor installed over 1 year ago?? I tryed the wet mop with my floor cleaner and it worked great too. I only hope I don't have the issue some of the other's have been writing about - with the head snapping off after a few months - would not like that if it happens, but keeping my fingers crossed and keeping my reciept. that's why I put average in the durablity and quality fields - dont' know
I would recommend this to a friend!

Used it with my armstrong floor cleaner and used a 2nd water bottle to rinse....trying to keep my kittie from licking paws full of chemicals. Like that I can wash the pad and get rid of nasty sponge mop!!! I actually look forward to mopping the floor!
got out my reveal mop today and noticed the one side of the mop appeard to be unattached, pulled off the micro fiber pad and realized the screws rusted out!!!!! really havent even made it through the summer!!! i have screws outside that get rained on everyother day with no rust!!!! poor quality, i believe in saving the landfills and stop throwing away all the swifter pads, now i wish i hadent recycled my swifter!!!! really loved the mop too, it did a great job and loved that there was no extra waste, now i dont want to waste more money on another mop, my old school swifter made the move to three homes over the last 8 years!!! i really think some thought should have been put into the design, like water, cheap materials, end result unhappy buyer :(
I love the concept of the mop- in fact recommended it to all my family. BUT now every time I mop my floors the head pops off multiple times. I have tried a few different tricks to keep it on but none have worked. Hope the next generation Reveal works better.
I loved this mop but it didn't last long. After using it only half-a-dozen times the handle broke off from the aluminum rod. :( I sure didn't get my monies worth on this purchase!
I was very excited to purchase this revolutionary new mop. The concept was wonderful and it worked great for a short while. Then it began to fail in several areas. First the spray nozzle clogged. I could deal with that by cleaning it with warm water. However, then it began to leak, a lot! I left it standing upright against the wall after cleaning the floor and returned after only a short while to discover the entire bottle empty and that it had seeped under a square of the laminate flooring and nearby molding and warped them. I checked to make sure the bottle was in correctly and everything was secure and it was, I then noticed that it was leaking from the seam underneath the spray nozzle where the red and gray parts meet. Now the liquid just pours out of there. Also, the handle often detaches from the mop head. This product could also use a scrubbing area for stuck on dirt as if any pressure is used on the handle it seperates from the mop head. This is not the quality I have come to expect from Rubbermaid.
