Recently bought the cordless version of the Spin Wave Hard Floor Mop: Everything works as advertised. As an old-timer, I appreciate the way this machine glides effortlessly over the floors No sweaty pushing and shoving required! A bonus:the action is whisper-quiet. I am thankful for the cordless feature, but for others who have massive areas to cover the corded (and less expensive) model may be more suitable. On the cordless machine you get about 20 minutes of action on a full charge-which is enough for my purposes. This item comes with 2 soft and 2 harder cleaning pads. Both are washable and reusable. I bought another set of pads just in case. All around: good stuff! I am thinking of buying another unit for my daughter.
