This mop was extremely easy to use.  It was ready to go within a few minutes of opening the box. I loved the no mess aspect of it as well.  No bucket of water spilling all over the place, or rather, a bucket of water for kids to run in to and spill while I was cleaning.  This mop didn't just glide over the surface of the floor, it really made contact getting any dirt and debris in it's path.  We have another hard surface cleaner, but it plugs in and can be messy to use at times.  With this mop, I'm able to quickly grab, spray and begin clean up, which is great with a toddler who spills food and drink quite frequently.  I love that the cloths are reusable and can be washed.  With the pivot action, it was easy to get around furniture and anything else in the way.  I was ecstatic to receive this product for free while having a party to show my friends. Even my six year old was able to use it!  Mommy score!!
