Last year I tried a cheaper brand wet vac and hated it. The mopping was streaky, it leaked, and cleaning it out was a nightmare. It never looked or smelled clean even after following the directions. I saved up and finally invested in The CrossWave and I am in love! It is SO much easier on my back than using a bucket and mop. Quick and easy to fill, simple to clean. Does a very thorough job! Wish there was a bit more steam but it's still an awesome addition! #sweepstakes
