I absolutely despise mopping but it's something I need to do frequently due to kids and pets. This gadget really makes my life so much easier. In one go, I can sweep AND mop us messes. It's edge to edge technology ensures that no part of my home goes without a good clean. The self cleaning feature also makes things easier! For me, the ease of use and how much time this has given me back due to less time spent cleaning is worth it.
