This is the best mop that any mother could have. No fussing to get new wet pads to clean up a mess or running out of solution when u need it most. Just add your favorite cleaning solution and go. Anyone reading this review, take my advice, it is worth it. I can keep up with my 8 month now! LOL ... sometimes!
I really like the oversized cleaning head on this mop. It helps to get the job done much faster! I also keep an extra microfiber pad handy, since one is usually in the laundry. I am considering getting a third pad because I use this mop so often. The swivel factor is nice and solid too, and works nicely around odd shaped furniture.
I love this mop for it's ease of use, and because I can use my own environmentally friendly solution for mopping. I use it once or twice a day because I have one-year-old twins, and they are constantly spilling milk and dropping food. It's always ready to use, and I like that I can rinse the pad each time. I have two issues with this mop: the first is the noise it makes! The swivel connection between the mop head and handle is astoundingly squeaky, and there is no quiet mopping when the babies are asleep! The other issue is that the sprayer mechanism doesn't work, or jams, consistently. Nothing will spray out, and I have found that I have to remove the cleaning solution bottle and put it back in to fix this. Not a big deal, but the mop is only a month old and I am concerned that it will permanently break down fairly soon
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this mop and found it 's mop head to be really nice and big.It covers a lot of ground. It's sprayer with my floor cleaner worked very well together. However, the spray hit my door and left a stain from the cleaning solution. I feel it sprays too high off the floor. I don't like the idea of washing the pad in my machine all by itself as it will be costly in the long run to run the washer for one dirty pad. Like the other similar mops it too can leave that extra dust you couldn't remove before washing on the floor leaving that black line you have to go back and wipe up when it's dry.
I have had this mop for about 6months and LOVE it. The cleaning head is big but not too big that it won't fit in between chair legs and tables. I can wash the cleaner and never have to buy refills. I mix my own solution so I get exactly what I want out of this product. Buy it and you will not be sorry!
I was thrilled to find a wet mop that didn't require buying disposable pads and solution, but after using the Reveal, I found many other things I loved. The mop head gets right up against the baseboards so there's no uncleaned space. The microfiber pads make the job of cleaning water marks and paw prints off hardwood and ceramic tile a breeze. It's a very sturdy feeling mop; however, one time the mop head did pop off, but was easy enough to pop back on. I also love the fact that the sprayer delivers just the right amount of cleaner in a very fine mist, which dries quickly. I've used the Swiffer brand wet mop and a steam mop, both requiring a lot of effort to get a clean floor. The Reveal is a pleasure!
This is a great system. So good that I bought two - one for here, and one for my wife's house in Japan (she is OK). I love it and have an extra solution bottle so that I can store a different cleaner ready for instant use. I use it on my tile floors, my hardwood floors, my stone floors, and also on engineered hardwood laminate floors in Japan.
There is only one problem - sometimes the handle pops out of the mop part. This seems to happen when doing heavy cleaning and/or when the top of the handle is lower - I mean when it is held less vertically such as when you want to reach out with the mop.
Otherwise I love it!
