Like the swivel/spray design, however head keeps disengaging from the handle while mopping. It's a pain to have to reattach every 2-3 swipes! Would not recommend. Make one where the head swivels & does not disengage....
i saw this on tv got so excited i thought it was going to best thing i ever bought boy was i wrong i went through two they leaked and the trigger for the sprayer sucked nothing came out. i would not tell anyone to buy this.
Liked the product. Had made my own out of a swiffer but cleaning fluid leaked on the battery compartment. To really eliminate waste, Wish the packaging that came with it was recyclable paper or no packaging!! rather than plastic that doesn't seem recyclable.
I finally used my new mop today. Overall, I have to say I like it. It was wonderful to use my own cleaning products and I like having control over how much or how little to use. The cleaning pad washed up wonderfully in the washer/dryer and looks as good as new.
I love the large head on this mop, but I can understand how if one lives in a smaller space, the head would be too wide.
My only complaint is the sprayer. The trigger function is tiring to continually pump. I know I won't be able to clean all my bare floors at one time as my hand gets too tired pumping the trigger all the time. The only feature missing from this mop is a battery-operated trigger.
I'll continue to use it, but will always wish for an automatic sprayer.
I had a couple of boxes of Swiffer pads and a couple of Swiffer refills in my cart - and mental noted the amount I was spending. I walked up to the next isle and took a look at the Reveal products. The mop was on sale. I grabbed a second bottle and 2 more pads - I put the Swiffer products back because within two months there would have been a savings.
I had really gotten sick of the overpowering Swiffer smell (which I used to love) and my floors that were often left with a residue.
I first tried an all purpose cleanser I had on hand and instantly fell head over heals for the Reveal. It does take a little more elbow grease, but the pad cleans so well. Way less waste with the pads and bottles. The spray took getting used to - I angle it towards the floor when I am close to walls or furniture and my hand does get a bit of a workout - but no batteries! So much more environmentally friendly!
If I want the floors to dry a little faster, I just add a bit of rubbing alcohol to the bottle.
I do keep a rubber band around the bottle / handle - if it falls down the bottle can pop out.
For quality, cost and environmental satisfaction I will never go back to the Swiffer!
We have had this spray-mop for a couple of monts. When it works it works great. The spray is fine. The mopping because of the great pad really works well. Most stains 99% in our hardwood floor have disappeared instantly after spraying and mopping. Then, there are all these quality issues. The bottle either does not quite fit or jams into its receptacle and it´s hard to pull out. The pad holder flips unexpectedly if you try to do a bit more vigorous mopping. The plastic head into the swivel of the mop head has popped out several times. A nuisance. But if you do not mind the nuisances, it is a very good model. However, keep your expectations a bit low because with a Rubbermaid name I had expected a real solid, exceptionally well built mop. It is not.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I normally love rubbermaid products but in this case it is not worth the money. I purchased one and within 2 months the handle broke. I would have purchased a replacement handle but there is not a replacement purchase.
