I used itthe first time today and love it. I love that you can pull of the pad and wash it. I was spending way too much on the "swifter". I will be careful with putting pressure on it as I've read some reviews that it broke.
I have used my mop now a couple of times and absolutely love it! It is easy to use, handle and clean! I agree with some people that it should have a head that is able to scrub. It does the job! I love the fact that you can add your own cleaner and that you can rewash the mop head. :)
I purchased two of these when they were first introduced because I thought they were a great idea--environmentally green and economical. I had high hopes regarding quality because they are Rubbermaid. However, within 6 months, the first one broke. The second is now showing the same symptoms the first did. It is clearly on its last leg. I will sadly have to return to other options.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The mop is easy to use. I use(d) vinegar and water in the container and it did a great job. The scrub head went in the washer - convenient. Easy to store in my laundry room. However, the design to attach the handle to the mop head is flawed as it snap apart easily, or breaks altogether as mine did today. What would normally get a five-star rating is not up to par. I hope Rubbermaid improves on the durability - it's a potentially great product.

I bought my rubbermaid about 3 months ago and I love it. The only problem I have with it is that it broke today. I was trying to scrub a spot on my floor and it broke. I think that it should have a scrub pad somewhere, my swiffer yet mop does. I don't know maybe I just put to much pressure on it but I think it works great.

This is easy to use and I like the fact that you can customize your cleaning solution and not have to use artificial cleaners. The only thing is that you have to be careful with the spray function since it can clog up if you use "heavy" type cleaners. I use just vinegar and water and it works fine.
I have the lib-mans mop , a steam cleaner, the swifter, and a regular mop also, I am so impressed by this mop I had to write a review. Yesterday when I was out I saw they have duster heads now. I bought two! I have a kennel plus cats and animal hair like you would not believe! But with this product the dusting and then the clean up is a breeze. I like the fact the head is bigger and the mop pad is larger than the head. It lets me get into those tight spaces and it gets the corners due to that fact. I will get one for every floor in my house I have all hardwoods and am grateful for such a wonderful product!!! Thank You
I too have the same problem as it leaks from the bottle and leaves puddles on the floor. I fill it up to the line and insert and it starts to leak from the top as I put it in. Have no clue what to do about it but I'll keep using it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
