I have shoulder and lower back issues, and I had difficulty keeping my tile floors clean. I was looking for something that would be easy to use, lightweight, and cleaned really well. I have pets, so I also needed something that was quiet. This spin mop exceeded my expectations. Not only is it lightweight, easy to maneuver, and quiet, it cleans extremely well. The most heavily trafficked areas, such as my kitchen and front hallway took a second pass to get completely clean, but it was easily done since this spin mop practically does all the work itself. I am very pleased with this purchase, and highly recommend it.
