I am a 24 hour care giver for my wife and try to make things quick and simple. I saw this mop and thought it would save me some time. Wrong. I used it one time and the pump quit working. Piece of junk. Will be going back. Used it with fabuloso.
No, I would not 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. While the bottle is upside down (filled with water), push in on the nozzle to check that the water is being released.
3. Once the bottle has been clicked into the mop, you may need to "prime" the mop by pulling the trigger 20-30 times to pump the solution through.
If these suggestions do not work, 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.
The only issue I have had is that the pole broke where it starts at the bottom mop head area. I want another one but it will most likely do it again. I had a large headed sweeper before that and loved it too but the pad on it broke. Then I also had a shark and the hose in the inside blew up...what is the deal with cleaning mops and me....Is there one out there that will work with me and not against me?
I had recently bought that Swiffer Sweeper and really liked it when I saw the Reveal on tv. So I returned my Swiffer Sweeper and ordered a Reveal. I just got in in the mail and opened it immediately. I vaccummed my floor to get up what I could than put the Reveal in action! Only to be disappointed!!! The Swiffer Sweeper picked up cat hair and everything. This Reveal just pushed cat hair around and left it all over my floors. I thought it was maybe the mop head was full, so I put a new mop head on.... only to have the same problem!! Long story short, I am going out to re-purshase the Swiffer and I am trying to find out where I can return my Reveal to!!
I see where everyone seems to be having a problem with their mops heads keep coming off, or leaking bottles. Fortunately I have not had that problem. I think this mop is the greatest. Best part is I love the fact that I can just toss the pads in the laundry and then they are clean and ready to go again. No having to buy the Swiffer pads again.
I like the mop - I like everything except that the handle keeps coming off the head every time I pull back on it. Its driving me bonkers! I will not recommend this product because when you are in serious cleaning mode you have to keep reattached the mop! guess i will have to get a Shark.
I have been a longtime Swiffer user and was excited when the Reveal Mop came to market. I was tired of buying expensive cleaners and replacement pads and jumped at the chance to purchase this mop. (It was on sale, and I had a coupon). Next time I will wait until the product has been on the market longer. I've had this mop for about 6 months now, if not longer and LOVE the fact that I can fill it with my own cleaners, but the bottle seems to leak, especially when it's not in use, and my biggest pet peeve is that when I am mopping the handle separates from the mop head. I wasn't going to complain, but I see on here that it happens to others as well. Not sure why it's designed to come apart, but when I'm in the middle of mopping the floor, it's quite a pain. I usually LOVE all the Rubbermaid products I have, but I'm quickly falling out of love with this product. :(
I LOVE this cleaning system!!!! I can't use my Swiffer because the smell of the cleaning solution gives my husband asthma. It works great, saves me money and I love the fact I can use my own eco friendly cleaning solution. Thank you!
I purchased this mop with high expectation. Boy was i surprized i assembled the mop and nothing happened :( It might save money but you have to do all the work yourself by pouring the fluid on the floor yourself and then mopping. I am going to be returning this item today to the store i purchased it at and will not be buying another rubbermaid product again!!!
