I love it!
My household includes a untidy cat, that for some reason likes to urinate at unusual angels almost always resulting in cat urine on the floor near her litter box. I basically have to mop her litter area every day. Was using a wet-jet but the daily refills became expensive and the wet-jet would not get into the tile grout lines very well.
Started looking for something besides the wet-jet I could use for fast daily clean up that did not involve me "wringing" any urine soaked mop heads with my hands. When I saw thIs item, I decided to give it a try. Extremely happy with the results.
I bought this mop solely for the purpose of my cat urine problem, but loved how well it worked I now use it for my whole home (bought multiple mop heads refills-use one for my cat, one for the house). It feels study and comfortable. Not touching dirty mop heads or bending down.
CONS:
You do have to pump the peddle numerous times if you want a "dry" mop head- however it will never get truly dry, will remain relatively damp. I do not have moisture sensitive floors so this factor did not give me a problem. Floors will dry within 5 minutes or so.
It is loud. Basically no mopping when quiet is needed or a light sleeper is sleeping. But did not find the noise uncomfortable.
The mop head is a little small and has a plastic portion exposed on the bottom.
The mop head does not swivel/tilt smoothly. You have to straighten it with your foot or using the bucket before peddle wringing it. I felt this was the biggest con.
My Maintenance:
I always wring it dry before putting it away.
I store it with the mop head up and exposed to ensure it dries out over night. I throw the mop heads into my washers delicate cycle once a week. Haven't had any mop head odor or mold problems as of yet. Estimate the head refills will last me 3 months.
Have had the mop for a little over a month.
Would Recommend based on my experience so far. Pros out weigh the cons based on my preferences.
