I was so excited to get this mop. I have a cedar spin mop that I use religiously , so I was excited to try this one out. The best thing about this system was that it keeps the dirty water separate from the clean water.  That part is great. However the mop pad doesn't retain a lot of water so it was harder to wash the floor.   It took longer and wasn't as easy as i had hoped. I won't use it again.
