Best Cleaning Tools For Hardwood Floors (2024 Update)

Purchased this product as an update to an original FloorMate, model # H2800, that I've had for many, many years. Have much more floor to wash now and am much older. Wanted the rotating spin-scrub brushes and the much larger wash solution tank which are an improvement over the original model. Am disappointed. The old FloorMate out-performs this newer model in the wet vacuum mode, by far, plus the newer model leaks significantly more wash solution than the older model when stationary. The tank is properly seated so that is not the problem. Thought for sure that Hoover would've gotten a handle on this issue on updated models. While the FloorMate remains a great concept, the performance of this new model is not acceptable to me. Will resort to using my original FloorMate and resign myself to filling the wash solution tank 8-10 times as opposed to 3 times but the flooring will be almost instantly dry. Will 'gift' my sister-in-law with this new model so she can wash her back porch floor with ease as she does not require the same level of almost instant dryness that I prefer.Reenie

This is my 4th floor mate, my last one the brush would not stay attached, This one I'm having a problem with the clear cover staying on. But all in all this is a good concept for cleaning and then rinsing the floor. I wash my floor and then suck up the water, then put clean water in the tank and re rinse the floor. I have 2 old doxie who pee, and this machine really helps with the clean up. I also use it on the rubber mats at my back door during the winter and rainy season. Until summer when I can take my mates outside for a go pressure washing. The company just needs to look at a better design for the brush and now the clear cover.LINDA

I bought this specifically to clean my laminate floors after a basement remodel that left a layer of Sheetrock dust is n the textured laminate. We scrubbed, mopped and everything else to try and clean the laminate, but couldn't get this layer of dirt off the floors. Bought this vac to try since we'd already tried everything else. Mixed the cleaner with a cap full of vinegar and tried an area. Couldn't believe the dirt I emptied out of the container after one pass. After this we decided to move all the furniture and do one whole room. Not only did it get all the dirt out of the distressed floors, it scrubbed the laminate back to looking new. We'll to say the least we ended up doing every room in the house because the dust had come up through all the vents. The heavy traffic areas we did twice and still were able to pull additional dirt off the floors. I read a lot of reviews and did a lot of research before buying and the main reason I decided on this one was because of the rotating brushes. They scrub the floors in both directions and suck up the water when pulling it back. I live this vac and have also used on my tile floors. It does not clean the grout, but I wouldn't expect it to, but does an amazing job on the tile. I will be making another quick pass to n all the floors again just to see how much additional dirt I can get off. Great purchase, don't be scared by the other reviews. The vac will leak a little when water is in the cleaning container and you leave it in one spot, so if storing with water in the tank, our a towel under it.Doug

Decent quality and fits my setup and desk perfectly! (Check dimensions…) Mouse rolls smoothly and the stitching is goodvelo.x.love

I bought a Bissell crosswave cordless max last year for Christmas because this was sold out. Originally I wanted this I did a lot of research and thought the Tineco one was far more advanced considering they had come out at the same time. My Bissell broke and again it hasn't even been a year I did not buy the warranty for it because I thought it would at least last a year. But I decided I'd buy my original choice and I'm far from disappointed. The issues I had with the Bissell I don't with this. Bissell was bad at streaking and would leave a puddle of water behind the brush roller was so soft it wouldn't pick up dried messes larger food bits would be pushed in front of the Bissell instead of being picked up. The Tineco one is streak free has a studier brush roller that makes picks up dried messes easily it is an auto mode machine so it distributes water and detects water never leaves a puddle behind large food objects like dog kibble gets picked up easily. I have a fairly high number of animals and a senior dog who doesn't have 100% bladder control so these machines are used day in day out. I recommend this to anyone its perfect for everyday use light to heavy messes.Alysun Lusty

I chose this thanks to the Vacuum Wars youtube channel. We used to have a Bissell Crosswave but it didn't last long at all. It started to smell pretty quickly and got clogged a lot (dog hair gang!) I assumed it was our habits so we bought a second one and the same thing happened again, even with more vacuuming and better Crosswave cleaning habits. This time I decided the extra money would be worth it and so far it definitely has been! The only con so far: the clean water tank really should be larger. We have a medium house, nothing large or fancy, and we can't even get through a full room (kitchen especially) without refilling the tank.Cam

Overall: I really love it! Easy to use, quick and sufficient; Great for daily use & for family with pet. I do list detailed limitations below but it solves my biggest problem (a quick daily cleanning) so I am still happy. Pros: – Battery is sufficient for 800-900 sq.ft – Capture pet (cat) hair, dust, and small trash on floor; great for daily clean; – Its design makes it easy to move; – Less noisy compared to Roomba/regular vacuum (but still not quite; just relatively quieter) ; Limitations: – The clean water tank is kind of small; requires refill if you use max clean mode or have a slower cleanning process; For dirty water tank, it's enough for cleanning process but usually require to dump all dirty water before its self-clean (so it does not over the dirty water limit) – It has clean gap (about 3cm/1.2 in) on the edge that its brush cannot reach so cannot work for near kitchen cabinet cleanning; also its wide brush design makes it hard to go into corners near toilet; – Its brush is designed not to hurt flooring which means it also cannot do deep cleanning (e.g. clean out stains on tile grout) – Cleaning dirty water tank can be nasty if you have pet and long hair;Ali

I have many animals and hardwood and tile throughout my home. I have had a Shark and Orek steam mops before and thought they did a decent job. But I am a hardcore Bissell fan when it comes to vacuums because of the massive shedding from the pets not to mention my drooling Mastiffs. I went with this Bissell for the brand and am more than satisfied with my choice. This model, 1940W, does an exceptional job of cleaning both my hardwood and tile floors without streaking or having to go over the saliva enzymes 20x before it lifts. I can really clean my floors easily on the medium setting and did my kitchen, dining room, living room, and hallway which is about 1600sq. feet without having to refill the tank. The scrubbing pad made easy work of getting up any spills or sticky spots, all in one quick motion. This is steamer mop is far better than the other two I had. The cord is plenty long and the scent discs which I didn't think would be a big deal actually are. The whole house smelled wonderful and the scent even wafted upstairs. The large pad surface and swivel head are a huge plus. I highly recommend this product and Bissell in particular.ShoppingSherpa

I bought this when it was deeply discounted to replace my other current options, which were either a bucket/mop with a lil fabuloso or pinesol or getting on my hands and knees with a rag. I already have a Dyson handheld cordless vacuum, so I decided not to get the vacuum steam mop combo version, and just get this lighter steam mop only instead. Just as the Dyson made me not mind vacuuming, I thought that getting the lighter steam mop would do the same for me but for mopping, even though it's corded. I have to say, it does what it says it'll do. It's not as detailed as spending hours in the floor with a hand-rag, or as deep cleaning as soaking the tile floor with a mop-bucket but it's wayyyyy less mess, dries wayyyy faster, it's wayyyy more ergonomic, and more likely that I'll do this more often than the other two methods, which was basically out of desperation once a year. I also really like that the pads are reusable and washable, even if it's kind of a pain to remember to wash them, and don't even mind the cord. It's the perfect length to cover my entire kitchen without unplugging. Glad I held out for this. I'm actually looking forward to having and maintaining somewhat clean floors from now on. #sweepstakesErin

I usually use a spray mop but it wasn’t getting the stuck on food from the floor. I’ve tried many other mops and nothing worked. This Bissel eventually gets the stuck on food off- you just have to keep the spin mop over the food for about 60 seconds. It’s better than getting on your hands and knees to scrape off the food. I didn’t notice much of a difference between the regular mop pads and the scrub ones. It feels like you’re operating a professional floor cleaner. I used an all purpose cleaner rather than the Bissel solution. It works well without their solution. I like that the water canister comes off completely and can be cleaned. I’ve used a steam mop of theirs in the past and it would get moldy because the canister couldn’t be removed. I’ll still keep my spray mop for quick messes. The Bissel takes longer to clean the whole floor but does a deeper clean.Sarah B

I had seen this mop all over TikTok and wanted one for a while. I finally bought one for about $40, couldn't wait to use it and was immediately disappointed. The handle wouldn't stay locked, it kept telescoping which was very frustrating. The next thing I noticed was that when you push forward on the mop, it functions like a mop should. On the backwards motion, the plastic base of the mop that the mophead attaches to just scrapes along the floor. I don't think the fabric of the mop was even touching the floor at all, it almost flips upside down so that only plastic is dragging along the floor. I mopped about 1/8 of my apartment before I had to stop. I cant put myself or my downstairs neighbor through that every time I mop. Terrible, terrible product that was over advertised on TikTok. Luckily you can return within 90 days if you're not satisfied otherwise Id be out the $40 I spent plus the floor cleaner.Emma Haus

Purchased this mop after several people I know said how great it was. While I do like the actual mop head and the spin idea, the handle is garbage. The handle is telescoping for whatever reason and will not stay locked. It constantly comes unlocked while mopping even with essentially no force applied. I honestly don't know why they would design a telescopic handle for a mop I'm the first place, especially considering that even with it extended fully it's still pretty short. My guess would be that it's easier to box and put in shelves, but it also makes the product garbage. They should have went with a screw together design if that was their concern. Also the mop head just king of clicks into the handle. Had they designed it with a traditional screw handle like most mops and brooms have I could have easily just gotten another handle and screwed it onto the mop head. As I said I love the idea of the product and like the was it mops when it actually functions. At this point I'm not sure what options I have to make it work better but will most likely end up having to return it. It is extremely aggravating to be in the middle of mopping and have a handle constantly trying to push in.Justin

This mop bucket with spinner is so easy to put together and use. The instructions for expanding the handle was a sticker attached to the handle so you'll never lose it. The mop head snapped into the handle with no problems. I had my doubts about this product but I am glad that I made this purchase. I used this at a client home and wondered about the quality. The mop did exactly what it was supposed to do. I paired it with Mr. Clean multi surface cleaner. This product cleaned 3 years worth of ground in dirt from bathroom floor tiles. I haven't seen the floor this clean for 3 years. I was using swifter wet jet which didn't even last thru the warranty. I switched to swifter wet floor pads and that didn't clean the groves in the bathroom tiles either. This product does exactly what it says it would do, however, I would not use it on wooden parquet floor because even though you spin the water out of the mop head it is still a little too wet for a wooden floor. On tile floors it works just perfectly.Lori

I've tested a decent amount of vacuums over the last decade. This is the first one I've tested that was made for hard surfaces and I was excited to get it mostly for my wife who always uses whatever other vacuum on our hard floors almost interchangeably as our carpeted areas. While I normally would sweep hard floors and them vacuum up the pile or let our robot vacuum with mop attachment do all the work for me. Setup was a little overwhelming looking at first but not too bad. The whole thing comes in more pieces than I would normally expect to find but the instructions lay out what everything is pretty nicely and after the initial shock it wasn't too hard to figure it out. I put it all together and let it charge over night (it suggests at least 4-5 hours of charge time before the initial use). I'm pretty happy with the steps required to actually use this vacuum. It's mostly a supplement to our robot vacuum/mop. I'm happy with the robot but we usually go around the are and pick up/move everything off of the floor in the entire upstairs before we run it so it's a process. It does a good job but the setup and reconstruction of the area before running it makes us use it far less than I'd like. So having a vacuum that's made for sweeping and mopping that I can easily setup and break down is key. When you want to use this, just fill up the clean water tank with mostly water and a small cap-full of soap. Then you're ready to go. The first time I hit the power button, I was surprised as it kind of drives itself forward. Pretty nice to lighten the load but you're also fighting against that push when your pull the vacuum back again. Overall it was a nice little assist, I think. The vacuum and mop did a pretty nice job of cleaning the floor pretty quickly but it did require an empty and refill of the tanks before I was finished. That doesn't take too long so it was no big deal. After I was done doing the whole upstairs area, the battery still had about 60% left (I was worried because when I first started it up, it looked like the battery was draining very quickly). The nice thing about having a screen with all the information on it is that you can see at a glance how hard the vacuum is working and what battery level is remaining. After you're done the instructions recommend you clean the dirty and clean water tanks as well as the roller and roller protector after each use. This is the only annoying part since you can't really just grab the vacuum to do a quick job and put it back but the cleanup of these things doesn't take too long. The base station does include an auto-clean feature for the roller so you have that going for you and there were 2 additional rollers included with this vacuum so you can always just rotate them if you need to clean one. Apparently there's an app that goes with this vacuum. The instructions just said that you can "perform all functions from the app" but I don't really know what functions those are. I did not download the app and can't imagine what I would possibly need it for. The functions on the vacuum are very minimal and can be adjusted with just a few pushes of the 3 buttons on the vacuum. I just didn't want another app on my phone. The only weird thing I didn't love about this vacuum was how it sat on the charging station. It leans forward quite a bit for some reason. I would expect it to just sit straight up and down but when the head is locked and you place it on the charger the handle leans forward at what feels like a 30 degree angle. Far more than you'd expect. Enough that I thought I was doing something wrong. I couldn't figure out a better way to place it on the charger though so I'm going to assume it's just how it was designed. I got used to it quickly enough but it was a weird thing when I first saw it. Overall, I like the vacuum. It does a good job supplementing our robot vacuum by being easy to get up and running and being easy to break down and clean when we're done (while not needing to break down the entire upstairs before using it since we can move things while vacuuming). If you're looking for a nice hard surface vacuum/mop and this fits your budget, give it a look. I was impressed with it for the most part.swemoney

I never taught about using a vacmop before i was kind of skeptical and it would take me a while to clean my hardwood floors .. was kind of an event to say. Not anymore… thanks to this Tineco Floor One s5 Extreme i’m actually looking forward to do it now. I will attach some pictures to see what comes in the box and it’s pretty straight forward plug and play kind of situation as well with some before and after situation. Everything is very intuitive to use but you can check the book or type the name of it on youtube and they have an interactive video in how to use it for first time. It comes with 2 extra brushes and an extra filter that will come in handy when you’ll wash and let dry the ones that you’ll be using first(about 24hrs) they recommended doing that after each use and you’ll want to do that and don’t forget to empty the messy water each time so u prevent bad odors. The design and features are very modern … it has a voice and a screen that will assist you in your cleaning process. To be mentioned here is the feature that senses the proportion of a mess when on auto and turns gradually the blue light into a red one, sign that you should insist in that particular area till becomes completely blue and it’s scary accurate!!! The stand acts like a support and charger (which will take somewhere 3-4hrs for it to be fully juiced up). They also recommend using ONLY Tineco cleaning solution or just plain water. Make sure you youse warm-hot water with or without solution since will tackle the dirt better. I’m happy with the product and it really saves me a lot of time and does a great job!!!Denisik91

I totally underestimated this machine. When I turned it on, the brush kicked in and almost dragged me acoss the floor! Not really, but I was surprised by how powerful the brush was for such a compact package. This mop is no joke. I'm a busy and stressed-out professional, so lots of housekeeping chores don't get done on a regular basis. I've been meaning to clean the kitchen floor for quite a while — I had food and coffee spills, tracked mud, etc, on the floor in places, and serious grossness under the oven and fridge. I figured that I'd give this machine a workout. It really worked. It took several passes in some areas, but the machine just kept working at the mess until it was all clean. The dirty tank strains out the solid materials to make it easy to dump without clogging your sink. It also uses less water than I would expect, so I didn't have to dump the tank nearly as often as I thought I would have to. The clean tank and the dirty tank have good capacity. One super thoughtful little detail is that both tanks have flat bottoms, so they can be put upright on the counter, and you don't have to lean them against anything like you do with other wet vacuums. I really like how it is as maneuverable as a light vacuum, it does a great job on hard floors and we can also use it on floor mats that aren't too thick. That brush-forward design really gets right up to edges and corners. It is very user-friendly. The display is large, bright and useful, and the voice prompts are really helpful. Even self-cleaning is super easy. I'm just not sure what benefits you get from the app or its wifi connection.Snarltoof

the flip my is my favorite mop to wash my floors. Easy to use, remove and wash three or four times each time i use it, but I never use the drop mop side because i prefer to use a broom and a cotton dust mop. I believe cotton picks up dirt better. I don't like having to wash the heavier dust mop side at the same time. I'd prefer a mop with a two sided wash head. I love the flip mop design!! And it stores flat in a corner, but I've had to add a little wire in the loop on the handle so I can hang it flat behind a door also.judy

Let me start out with saying unlike these other paid "spark" reviews, mine is not paid for. I received nothing to make this review. Now my credentials, I am a small business owner. We are formally known as a "Building Maintenance Contractor." We clean offices, restaurants, banks and some medical facilities. I saw this mop at my local Walmart last night and saw the price tag, it was very affordable for just about anybody, coming in at a little lower than $12.00 before taxes with replacement heads approximately $7.00. I took it for a test run and immediately found out why it is so affordable. The sweeping dry mop is a good residential solution, it picked up every micro particle you could imagine. It was very difficult to get corners, under floor trim, against sides of walls and under appliances though. We ended up finishing the sweeping with a regular broom. The real issue is with the application of the liquid for the damp mop. They first of all recommend using water only, no disinfectant, which is NOT a sanitary solution. Secondly, after your first mop application the dry mop is now rendered absolutely useless as the fabic acts as a sponge and gets the dry mop wet. Thirdly, this mop is very hard to move over linoleum. The damp mop portion should "glide" whilst instead "sticks" to the surface. Overall, our solution remains with Rubbermaid QuickConnect and has for many years for wet mopping and any dry mopping is done with any janitorial green dry mop.MikeP

Two thirds of our home is Laid with hardwood floors and the rest is tile. I love our floors but unlike carpet it does not hiding any dirt! In fact every piece of lint, hair or whatever shows! But, when it’s clean you know your floors are clean! I love this mop, it’s part of what keeps my floors clean! It works well for what it was designed for. It is one of the tools used in the regular regiment of my cleaning. All floors are dust mopped, vacuumed then steam mopped. But, my steam mop doesn’t fit under my beds so I use a clean pad that I put into my sink where I have warm water mixed with a little cleaner, then gently wring it out and place it on the mop head and mop under the beds until I have the clean I want. The materials the mop pad itself is made from is plush and seems to be of good quality. it has held up pretty well. The only real issues that keeps me from giving this little fiber mop the 5 stars that it should deserve are two things. The mops head ‘closures’ that are supposed to hold the pad tightly on the mop head are made out of lesser than good quality material!! They wore out after about 25-30 machine washings. And, I have the Sensor LG Front loader Set so there were no agitators that caused the problem. The closures completely quit working on both pads! The other issue I have is the rudeness of the replies by OCedars Customer towards people who were just trying to get a simple question answered! There’s a question an answer section so why should we have to call in? I ask a question then read all the questions and answers or lack of! The same simple question was asked multiple times but was never answered! One person ask how wide it was (either referring to the mop head or pad) they got answered correctly or close enough it would be easy to figure out. But, when others ask how long it was instead of giving the (mop head or pad length) they were given the pole length. That same answer was repeated! I’m sorry but we don’t care about the pole length. Since you make more than one size mop, when we are buying these mops we need to know the mop head or replacement pad size so we can buy extra pads! That’s why it’s important for you to answer our questions!Cathy

I was so excited to move to a reusable pad system. On first cleaning, I noticed that even though I used 3 pads, my floors didn’t feel as clean as when I use the popular throw away wet pad system. The head also came off a couple of times when at a low angle. No biggie, though I did notice the plastic where it connects was showing signs of stress/lightening like it was weakening/had been pulled at the joint. But on my second time using it (after avoiding it to use the disposable system a couple of times), the spray trigger stopped working while I was spraying the floor. I was hoping I’d have a different experience than other reviewers. I’m was careful with it, stored the liquid container separate, etc. But it seems like most built in spray mops have issues, based on the reviews I’ve read. I returned it for a refund. Pros: easy to find pads, large mop head, can use your own solution Cons: spray trigger design, mop head coming offMaskedShopper

I think this is a good alternative to other quick cleaning mops. What I like is that the tank is refillable. You can purchase more cleaning solution by Bona or add a different solution that you prefer. When the included solution ran out, I replaced the bona solution with another cleaning agent. The mop is very lightweight and easy to use. It has good maneuverability where I can get into more difficult spaces or use the mop on surfaces that are vertical to the floor. A few minor issues is that the tank can be a little tricky to pull out of the socket (I could just be weak) but it takes a little strength. The cap on the refillable tank took me a minute to figure out and again took some strength for me to open. The pad is reusable so I just wash after each use. The floors dry quick and they look pretty clean without streaks or cloudiness. A few times it has not done well lifting some real tough spots but for quick cleaning and disinfecting it’s great.stacy.s

This is initially a great mop! It sprays a good amount, is easy to use and I love that the cleaning solution is unscented and doesn't seem to leave a lot of residue. It's a fun mop to use! Also the solution doesn't leak out like another brand mop I bought a couple years back. The problem is it breaks quickly. I am still on the first bottle of cleaner, maybe half way through, and it's having a problem where the bottle disengages slightly so it barely barely sprays any cleaning solution. If you pop it out and snap it back in, it works great for one or two sprays, then goes back to almost nothing. So if you are mopping a whole room, it's incredibly frustrating to keep having to pop it out and snap it back in. Also the velcro holding the cleaning pad in place is ripping off of the mop. Keep in mind, I have barely used this thing. So for design, 5 out of 5, but I'm incredibly disappointed in the construction and durability, especially for the price.Rinea

Overall I am pleased with my new Oreck Orbiter BUT….. when I received my machine I was so excited to try it out however I did not receive any pads or brushes with the machine! I did not see anywhere on the website where the pads needed to be ordered separately! I really wish Oreck would put that on their website. I had to wait another 7 days before I could even try it. When I finally received my pads/brushes I immediately tried on my wood floors—— all I can say is WOW! I am excited to try on carpet next. I would have given this a 5 star but because I had to wait before using I gave a 4 star.Lori375

Bought the Oreck Orbiter after researching and reading MANY reviews on several floor cleaners. We have tile floors in both foyers with nooks and crannies that I have cleaned in the past with a brush on my hands and knees. I was in need of a better way, and the Orbiter was my choice. The Orbiter is pricey, but it is well worth the money paid. It took me 3 days to complete the butler pantry foyer on my knees. When I purchased the Orbiter I cleaned the main foyer in less than one day, and it is about three times the size of the butler pantry foyer! When I discovered it also can be used to clean carpet, I ordered the necessary accessories, and today I cleaned carpet. AMAZING!! The traffic area in my husband's office is pristine. I have now cleaned that area, the powder room oriental rug and the family room in less than three hours time. I am totally sold!! Thanks Oreck for a wonderful product!!Bee Stinger

Save money and time and reduce stress and pain when working correctly. Purchased 2 machines already. Thanks n this time of keeping clean because of the virus it helps a greater ways you can imagine try it.carl

I have used brooms and dustpans for years and when I was told by my Dr. I have severe asthma and undefined COPD along with other breathing issues what limitation of bending and sweeping became unbearable for me. Also having allergies to dust, dust mites, and dog dander I decided to buy the microfiber Dust mop for me to use with ease at home. What can I say its price is fantastic and the little comb that comes with it stops me from having to shake all the dust and dirt it gets right into the wastebasket. Thanks, Libman for your cleverness in putting so many microfiber products out on the market for me and so many others to use. I started out with just a small microfiber hand duster but now I'm m a microfiber fanatic.Pamela

Best one out there for hardwood floors and pets. I literally sweep everyday. But with this it only takes a few minutes. Perfect for sweeping and add cleaner and it's perfect for mopping too. Super quick and easy, then throw it in the wash. You might need an extra head or 2.Partyfavor

I am an older lady with arthritis in my knees so it's painful to get down on the floor and clean under the furniture. I have laminate wood floors that need to be cleaned or dusted at least every other day due to my cat's fur. I decided to purchase this Libman wet/dry mop because it is a trusted brand that I've been familiar with throughout my life. All I can say is I love this mop. It has an 18-inch wide mop head which covers a lot of area at once getting the job done faster. It has a swivel head for maneuvering and is slim enough to fit under all of my furniture. The reusable microfiber pad is quality made with heavy-duty canvas pockets on top that slide over the sides of the mop head. It picks up dust, dirt, and fur very well and when it gets dirty you just toss it in the washer. I purchased 3 more microfiber pad replacements to go with it. My daughter is getting new laminate wood floors next week so I recommended this mop to her.Lexi61

I do really like this mop- I do have a few issues with it- the refill bottle doesn’t properly pop out and tends to leak, and the Velcro on the bottom has started coming off which is frustrating. However I do like the reusable pads and the refillable bottle better than my Swiffer! The hand pump is less convent than my other but I don’t mind it! I wish it had come with more pads than having to order more because they weren’t available in store! Overall though I love the mop! Use it daily!britni.b

I love Bona! It is so much sturdier than the Swiffer alternative! The pads get more dirt and grime off the floor and the cleaner doesn’t have as strong of a smell. It’s awesome if you have pets or kids because it requires so much less scrubbing. It’s honestly just so good!emily.m

I was really excited about purchasing this because it seems so much easier than dragging a mop and bucket around, but it doesn't meet my expectations at all. Not only does this drag over my hardwood floors and makes it hard to push, but it barely gets anything. It doesn't matter what type of cleaner I use with it, I don't get anywhere near the same results as I did the old fashioned way. Even if I concentrate on the area, the lightest stains still remain on my floors. The only positive for me is that with less water being used, everything does dry much quickeramy.j

We have dogs, so paw prints and kid footprints are a way of life. A quick sweep and the spinwave leaves the floor spotless. It is easy to use. The pads wash easily.rkir2464

I was gifted one and just love it. I use it with the rough surface pads on my tile floors. I'd recommend this product to family and friendsPatricia Palermo

It is big enough to mop the floor and save lot time. Very easy to install. Pick up thoroughly dust and pets hair. Strongly recommend!Yy

I LOVE the Bona system! I have used the cleaner for a little over a year now but just received the entire system at my bridal shower. The wax is AMAZING!!! My wood floors have never looked so beautiful! They are glowing without being dangerously slick or oily. I have washed the floors twice since and the shine has not ceased! Cheers to a fabulous product! **I did have a party where a friend's dog had a "little accident" the day after I waxed the floor. The waxed area that was soiled did lose its sheen, however the wood was not damaged so it did its job! I did re-touch the area with wax the next morning and it blended with the rest of the floor perfectly and looks as if nothing ever happened 🙂 Crisis averted**CleanBrideToBe

I rarely review products I've purchased but I've just created this account at Bed, Bath and Beyond solely to share my thoughts about this very disappointing product I purchased at one of their stores. As an initial matter, the kit I purchased contained no instructions, and my search of the manufacturer's website revealed nothing useful there either. You wouldn't think this would cause an insurmountable problem, but it sure frustrated me because I haven't been able to use the mop for more than 30 seconds at a time without the thing falling apart. At first, I thought I must have assembled it incorrectly since I was flying blind with no instructions, but I've asked three friends who are infinitely handier than I am with such things to try their hands at it with identical results. The pad piece keeps falling off the handle, which makes it next to worthless. Moreover, the cleaning solution doesn't keep things clean for very long; in fact, it seems to attract dust and other things almost before I finish dusting or mopping or whatever I'm doing between having to change the pads repeatedly on the broken mop. Don't waste your money on this lousy product.MarkJinLA

I created an account on Bed Bath and Beyond just to write how bad this product is. One of the worst products I've ever purchased. The mop is garbage, but the worst part is the polish. It's not a polish. It goes on like clear acrylic paint. It's impossible to apply evenly which you don't realize till after it dries. The floor is covered in streaks. Any if you try to reapply it to uneven areas, it dries to a different shine so there's no way to ever even it out. As this prodcut is garbage, my hope is that it will fade after a couple of months. Please listen to the warnings others have posted. This product will ruin your floors.TomTom

I just purchased this product and have used it one time. Set up was a breeze and it charged quickly. The vacuum works very well. I have Pergo floors in light oak, so they don't show dust, but do show dirt and debris. The vacuum had no problem with any of it, including onion skin. The mop part works well as a cleaner. I have some dried on liquids it would not remove, but neither would my Swiffer, which this replaces. But the problem is, the cleaning fluid, once dry, leaves a filmy residue that dulls the Pergo. Under the right lighting, you can see where the liquid was and where it wasn't. I tried buffing it to no avail. It remains to be seen if walking on the floor with buff it out. So as a vacuum and mop, it works. But that residue from the cleaning fluid is barely acceptable. Your results may be different. But I'll be keeping it because if does the job and I will use it more often just for the vacuum. I may forego the mop.lochnez49

I got this in hopes of making it easier to clean my floors with something that is an all in one. But I will be returning it. It is nothing more than a glorified swiffer. The pads are disposable. You even need a pad to do the vacuuming and you can only vacuum in one direction because that's where the suction is. So it takes twice as long. Then the pad is extremely dirty afterwards and you're supposedly supposed to use the same one. Why would I use the dirty pad to then mop with? I wouldn't. So I had to use a new one. Once that pad is wet it begins to flop around and you have to apply pressure to get it to stay in place while mopping. Applying more pressure and holding the vacmop a certain way will in turn cause back pain. The compartment for the liquid also does not come off. So you need something to use in order to pour the water into it. Just bad overall execution on this. I would not recommend and I will be returning. I bought the mop system from my shop club which has reusable pads. Yes I will have to sweep or use my regular vacuum beforehand, but it will still take less time than fighting with the vacmop.Mindy Burnette

Love it. Should be called the Wow Wonder Mop. Easy to use. Immediate floor cleaning at fingers touch. Charge seems to last quite a while. Would recommend purchasing the additional new scrubber pads.Ms Mudrock

I debated long and hard about shelling out the money for this product and decided to go ahead and try it….. bottom line: it's okay but not sure it's worth the money…. I do like the low prodile design that can reach under cabinets, tables,etc…. However you would think that for this amount of money it would come with some sort of a stand that you could put it on with the wet pad in between cleanings… I don't intend to remove and wash the pads every time… That was disappointing… It's also hard (impossible) to tell how much cleaning liquid is in the reservoir – which does seem pretty small and I found myself running out (only by noticing that nothing was coming out when I sprayed) and having to refill it…. also noticed that power button and spray buttons are pretty close together and I found myself hitting the power button numerous times instead of the spray button. Also found that I still have to scrub many spots to get them off completely . It does feel fairly well made and sturdy and I have had no problem with battery life……ned4759

Love this mop but it does not last but about a year. Have tried to clean the sprayer with a pen and it still will not work. When I try to see if I have unclogged the sprayer the mop turns off. Love the way it cleans if you can keep it working. A lot of money for something that does not last😡Rida Yates

You have thought of it all! Wet dry, big jobs, to touch ups. With everyone stepping away from carpet these days Swiffer has stepped up to make cleaning our hard surface floors much faster and easier. No buckets, no stinky old mops, no piles of chemicals under the sink. Plus the new Dry pads ummmm bye bye broom. When it comes to a broom and pet hair….. yeah you know all you do is chase it and chase it more. Chase NO more, yep you got it pet hair sticks to the dry pads also. Now shhhhh I'm a cheater I use both wet and dry pads and my Swiffer Sweeper to clean my ceiling fan blades "once it's turned off" and to clean the walls and ceiling, cobwebs gone with the dry pads, dirt smudges or that spot where you killed that bug on your wall Gone in one quick Swiffer bam done! No more cleaning up after cleaning. Love, love it. Oh also Swiffer pads used to leave my floors with a sticky feeling, I didn't like that at all. Well they must have changed the wet pads because my floors are Just Clean no streaks, no sticky film, just simply clean!Horsemom

I'm so glad I bought myself a Swiffer® Sweeper® Floor Mop Starter Kit. I no longer have a heavy mop anymore since hurting my back. I love how lightweight the Swiffer® Sweeper® Floor Mop is and how easy it is for me to use. The best part is it's a 2-in-1 hard surface sweeping and mopping tool. So, I can use the wet cloths to address my kitchen floors and my dry cloths to address areas where there is dust. The dry cloth has deep ridges and grooves that conform to the surface of your floor to trap and lock dirt, dust, and hair, while the wet cloth dissolves dirt and grime and traps it away. It's a straightforward process to assemble your Sweeper! Just click the poles together. Place a cloth under the Sweeper's head and poke the flaps into each corner gripper to keep it in place. Clean your area, and once finished, you'll just need to remove the dirty cloth and toss it. The Swiffer is perfect and safe on all floor types, you can use it on tile, hardwood, and vinyl flooring. Easy to maneuver under furniture, compact, easy to assemble, and most of all, the Swiffer Heavy Duty Wet Mopping Cloths Trap + Lock 50% more dirt, and traps 2x more dust with the Sweeper dry cloth. I'm loving my Swiffer, I may grab another one just for my basement now. .LisaLisa007

I've used a Swiffer for many years as a replacement for my mop and I'll say that at first I thought this would be a great strategy so I wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of traditional mopping. It has worked ok for me, but if you use the wet wipes with this don't expect it to be easy or super effective. Often after using this thing with a wet wipe to clean the floors I feel like I have done a HIIT/Cardio training class. You have to push down extremely hard against the floor in order for the wipes to pick up anything. It requires intense effort. You will be sweating after cleaning one room with this thing. Also, using the wet wipes is sort of like cleaning with a wet broom. The wipes don't pick up all the dirt, you'll still need to actively track and sweep the dirt into a pile so you can pick it up once you take off the wipe. That's another thing – the wet wipes, while they do come very wet in the box, if you use them with this Swiffer they will constantly fall off as you clean the floor. It's pretty annoying to clean the floor with a wet wipe only to have it constantly fall off and need to be reattached. Like I said, use it for a quick clean but probably should get something more reliable as your primary wet cleaning product.Alex

Most of my house is slate/tile and I have a dog. I have used erase type products on kitchen/bath but never on floor. It leaves the floor really clean. In kitchen I add little vinegar to hot water. I have a rectangle plastic container with hot water that I clean out mop in. I have a replacement top waiting in cupboard. However mop is wearing well. Don't let naysayers get you down. This is a great product and time saver. My dog was allergic to chemicals in wet jet swifter stuff. Yucky.Nana diane

The mop they sent is not the mop advertised. I received a regular sponge butterfly mop with a Magic Eraser circle on the back of it. The advertised version shows a mop with Magic Eraser material which is why I ordered it.Alan

I was excited about this mop as I had tried the Magic Eraser on my floor. I couldn't do my whole floor on bended knee and found the Magic Eraser Squeeze Mop and paid top dollar for a mop. It didn't perform as I expected, called ProcterDorcas

This dust mop covers a much wider area than my previous O-Cedar dust mop. The bending feature is quite nice for my baseboards. However, there is much more dust in the air when using this dust mop which is not good for someone with allergies. Have bare floors throughout my entire home. The material has no clinging features for dust what so ever. I loved my previous small yellow dust mop but cannot find a replacement for it.Retiree

Haven't needed to use the refill het, but the dust moo works well! I like the design, including the way shown on the package to dust moukding around the floor.anonymous

Do you have aches and pains? Are you getting older and it is just too difficult to tote around a vacuum? This dust mop is easy to use. It gets under low to the floor sofas and love seats. It reaches all the way across the floor under the bed. Best of all it really gets up the dust and pet hairs. If that is not enough, then all you have to do is shake it out in your yard. You can wash it when needed. The dust and hair you shake in your yard will then be picked up by the birds to use in nest building. Is this mop great or what?TeacherCreature
