I am a 75 year old. My childhood and half adult life was spent using the old time mop made up of twisted rope. When the rope got soak with water the mop was heavy, hard to ring the water out of the mop. I will never go back to that mop. The SPRAY-250 was magical immediately. Putting it together was easy. The squeeze handle can't be beat. The mop  pad turns into any space between chairs. You control how much liquid goes into the pad and onto the floor. I challenge you to try this mop for yourself . !!!!! The PRICE -Awesome !!!
