We have 3 dogs, a dog door, and a very dirt-filled backyard. Needless to say our kitchen (big tile) and living room (hardwood) need constant cleaning. We have a dyson cordless vacuum that we use several times per day, so the SpinWave has been just a natural way to follow vacuuming. It's suuuuper quiet, which I didn't expect, and does a great job of getting up close in the corners and edges. It takes no time at all to mop, fling the pads into the laundry, put another set of pads on, and put it on the stand for next time. My husband and son started using it without me even asking them, because it's so convenient. A definite win for our family!
