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.

I bought this the other day as I have laminate floors in my whole house and I have 2 dogs and even the micro fiber mops could not clean or get up the hairs .I had to spray before and then wipe the floors up and that took time in 2440 sq. ft. house and this has now made the job so much easier and faster .I held off buying it but finally broke down and bought it and I'm glad I did .Never knew wiping the floors could be so easy and the fact I can use my own cleaner and refill it and save money is even better .Well what did I expect it is rubbermaid .duhh .great product is all I can say try it and you will be convinced too
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this mop

I have almost 2000 sq ft of hardwood and tile floor on my main floor. In addition I live in the country with livestock outdoors and indoor cats and dogs and I hate moping. lol I have been using another mop for years but was tired of the cost of replacing cleaner, pads and batteries. Not to mention I broke 2 of them! I picked up this Reveal and so far I love it! After reading some of the reviews from those who have had a problem I am concerned - but it is working for me and it makes cleaning my floors the easiest it has ever been! I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Everything I wanted...until it broke

I liked that you could wash the mopping pad, instead of spending money to replace them. I also liked that you could use your own cleaning solution. The thing I didn't like was how hard it was to make it spray. Then today I went to use it and the handle completely broke off at the base while I was squeezing the lever to make it spray. And my 1 year warranty was up in Feb. I don't think I will be buying another one, due to poor quality.

Revealing A Mediocre Product
on June 16, 2012
Posted by: LadybugMuffin
I loved the idea of using my own cleaning solution and a re-useable dust/mop head and I was thrilled w/ it the first few times. I became disillusioned when the solution bottle wouldn't stay put & became cracked so easily. The trigger spray became clogged quickly and even after cleaning it's hard to squeeze & uneven. It seemed like a dream come true but a mop is easier to use and more effective.

Great Concept - design flaw & poor durability
on December 4, 2012

The Rubbermaid Reveal Mop is a great concept, however the durability of it is just awful. (Can I give this a zero mark for durability?) I have owned two (2) Reveal Mops and each one has broken in exactly the same area (I've also noticed this with other reviews here.) The first Reveal Mop worked great (some trigger issues that I overcame) for about six (6) months then one day while mopping the head broke off where it attaches to the pole. Since I mop my floor several times a week I quickly ran out and purchased another. Today, almost six months later the exact same thing occurred - mop head broke off. I am not rough on this mop, nor do I use it excessively. I just believe the area where head attaches to the pole is made cheaply (plastic!) After a certain number of uses, the area breaks. Considering the cost of this mop and the accessories that go with it, this is not a cheap mop. I do believe that for the price I paid for this mop it should certainly last MUCH longer than 6 months. I will add, my housekeeper (who uses her own Reveal Mop) has gone through three (two broke at the mop head and the last the sprayer stopped spraying) and on her fourth one. So it certainly is not me. It is the product itself. One would think that with all the complaints (I currently see over 600 reviews) that if this is such a prevalent design flaw Rubbermaid would take immediate action to rectify this problem and come up with a more durable solution (ie...metal, or something other than plastic.) Until then I will not purchase another Reveal mop, nor will I recommend it to others.

Disappointed

Initially, I was so excited about this product, I mean a mop that you can put your own solution in and just rewash the pads. That is a wonderful idea. Then I purchased the mop and pretty much cleaning went down hill. I have had to replace the solution bottle 4 times in the short 5 months that I have owned the mop. The bottles seal breaks and then the solution leaks all over your floor while storing it. If you have wood floors like me, solution soaking into your wood floors is not a great thing. Randomly, the spout where the solution comes out when the handle is squeezed gets clogged and the handle is very hard to pull and little to no solution is expelled from the mop. I had very high hopes for this mop, have bought Rubbermaid products for quite sometime but am seriously questioning the quality of their products. I hope their customer service is better then their product.

Three Mops, One Year, $100 and nothing to show

I have purchased three of these mops over the last year. Each one has broken on me. I really love the idea behind it - using my own cleaner - reusing the cleaning heads. However the mop keeps breaking with minimal use, right at the base. The trigger also sticks at times. The last one broke while in the closet - not even using it. Just picked it up, and it literally fell apart. Well $100 later (three mops), I am mop-less and very disappointed in this product. I expected so much more from a Rubbermaid product. I wish I had kept my receipt this time around, you'd think I would have learned the first two times. So unfortunately I can only give this mop one star, if I could give it a zero due to my issues with it - I would. Buyer beware - it is expensive in comparison to other options, and it will break on you. I don't think I will be buying Rubbermaid products going forward because of this experience.
