We typically use a similar style mop (reusable pads), but were excited to try this one due to the spray functionality and eco friendly pods - I am blown away by how clean our floors are! Love that the scent is natural/clean, and felt that the pods were very easy to use - for our 800 sq ft place we only used a third of the liquid from one pod. You have to put a bit of muscle into pushing this mop around because the microfiber is thick, but I could not believe how much dirt the pad had picked up by the time I was done cleaning - to me that’s worth a little more resistance when pushing the mop.
