Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My wife always insisted if you want clean floors you have to get on your hands and knees, and use a cleaning rag and a bucket of soapy water to do the job! Mops and buckets she added were to be only used for quick cleaning. So our children were taught to clean the floors by hand and that is how it was until we moved to a bigger house. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try something new. I have to say we have tried steam mops, swifters and other conventional mops but they all fell short of our expectations. I found "Spin Mops" for sale on Amazon.com and there are many to choose from. Seeing those spin mops that use a pedal to convert mechanical motion into axial motion, if the all parts are not made of heavy gauge metal I just know from the type of work I do for a living, the pedal system will eventually fail. Which brings me to why I chose Mopnado's product. When I first considered a spin mop, the most important factor I had to consider will it withstand the punishment my teenage boys will give it? Mopnado's Spin mop was the clear choice because it had one clear design feature I liked: INTEGRATION. The mop handle is the power source of the spin system, while the length of the handle is fully adjustable. The Spin Dry Barrel and the Wash Agitator are built into the bucket insuring no parts go missing. My order arrived neatly packaged from Amazon.com in a certified shipping box, all that was needed for assembly was the mop head holder to the handle and the mop. The Mop handle provides the power source for the spin barrel and agitator using a mechanism similar to a ratcheting drill, but operates smoothly. When filling the bucket with water, be sure to fill up to the required "Fill Line" mark on the inside of the bucket. Failing to do so will decrease the performance of the Spin Barrel and the Agitator making for poor results. Using the bucket agitator is easy by lowering the mop head onto the agitator until it fully seated, making sure the mop handle is straight up (not at an angle). Then grasp the mop handle firmly and pump downward a couple times the mop head will spin in the water dislodging dirt and debris. This beats wringing the mop by hand. The Spin Dry Barrel is also easy to use, place the wet mop head into the barrel using the same downward pumping action will get the mop head damp for quick cleaning and fast drying or leaving it wet to deal with stubborn floor stains. Moving the bucket as you work from one area to the next is easy, the heavy duty rim handle for room to room, while the retractable folding handle for longer distances. The bucket has one built-in wide wheel to insure it will roll over any bumps without tipping over. Lastly the Mopnado comes with two mop heads, although they are machine washable the added mop head is a bonus. The Mopnado Stainless Steel Deluxe Rolling Spin Mop was an immediate hit with our family! No more cleaning the floor using my wife's old fashion way, even my wife loved it and said it cleans very well. I like the built-in cleaning solution dispenser, I only wish it could be snapped into place from the top instead of having to unscrew it from the underneath the Spin Dry barrel shroud. The Agitator is an evolutionary design in cleaning a mop head, no more hand wringing or ratchet twisting. Just engage the mop head unto the pyramid shaped agitator and give a few downward pumps and the mop is clean! The same action for spin drying the mop head just a pleasure to watch that you want to do it again! What I appreciate is the manufacturer's attention to small detail, for example they incorporated a drainage channel around the opening of the Spin Dry Barrel to catch the dripping water and have it run back into the bucket, and this focus on details is followed through every aspect of the Mopnado that makes it a wonderful product for our busy household. Floor spills are no longer a hassle to clean up, and keeping our tiled floors spotlessly clean is easy to maintain on a weekly basis. I would highly recommend this Spin Mop to everyone. I have to add if the user is 5'-11" or taller you will need Mopnado's handle extension, it adds 11-inches to the length of the mop handle. UPDATE: FEBRUARY 2, 2015 From a 5-star to 2-star rating: I purchased this product in May 2014 and it worked fine, until December 2014. The handle would no longer work to spin the dry barrel or cleaner as I pushed the handle down. I have tried to contact the manufacturer of Mopnado and Marlow's Mercantile the seller I purchased it from, hoping to purchase replacement handles for my Mopnado. No response. Disappointed, they said the Mopnado is suppose be better quality than the other spin mops? Fast to take your money, but no customer support. UPDATE: MARCH 2, 2015 In the first week of February Kevin from Mopnado made contact with via email, and I ask him if I could purchase replacement handle for my Mopnado. He said he would do so once I sent him the information of my purchase receipt from Amazon.com. He renewed my satisfaction in his company and their product when he sent me a new mop handle free of charge! My sincere appreciations to Kevin. Keep up the good work and prompt customer service. UPDATE: OCTOBER 21, 2017 It has been 3 years since I purchased the Mopnado. I replaced the handle once. However this product is showing signs that it has reached it's service life. The spinners for the washer & spin dry are stiff to operate, the mop head holder has cracked, the mop handle is broke in half which I had to repair, and the folding bucket handle is broken. It is time for a replacement. I will look at the industrial version.
