Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had a Vileda "Roll-O-Matic" wringer mop for about the past six years. In that time, I believe I had to replace the original mophead once. The Vileda roller wringer system really worked well and did a great job of squeezing out as much dirty water as possible. Also the ribbed texture on the mophead did a nice job of loosening up the mud that my dogs would track onto my kitchen floor. The Vileda-branded refill mops were very durable, lasting years without requiring replacement. Sadly it appears that "O Cedar" is now making a lower quality version of the old Vileda design. Google searches for "Vileda Pro Scrub Mop Refill" bring up this O Cedar refill, and there appears to be no source for the original Vileda refills anymore. I bought one of these O Cedar refills and after struggling with trying to get the O Cedar refill to fit into my old Vileda handle, I've given up. I've tried using a screwdriver, pliers, etc. but the problem seems to be the shape of the refill itself. The Vileda refill had a metal bar that was about 3/4" deep which slid between the ribbed rollers and allowed the tab on the refill to engage the J-shaped hook in the mop handle. The new refill is much flatter and it seems there is pretty much no way to get it to engage. Also the metal loop into which the hook connected is much smaller and more shallow on the new refill. (For a comparison, see the photo I've posted.) As a result of my several attempts, the ribbed rollers have chewed up a good bit of the sponge material of the new refill; I wouldn't be surprised if this explains why so many users have seen their new mop heads crumble and fall apart. I'm sure this new refill fits the newer mop handle, but I don't see why it was necessary to change the design just enough to force everyone to have to go out and buy an all new mop. Based on the many negative reviews of the new system, it doesn't work very well anyway. Very disappointing.
