There’s easier ways to mop than this
I had to delay my review because I simply couldn’t get the top off this bucket and it doesn’t say anything about it in the instructions which is a huge oversight. Thankfully someone mentioned removing the red handle on here and I was able to finally get it so I could use this thing.<br />Here’s what I like about this mop and bucket set.  It’s compact so it fits anywhere. I like the idea of keeping it near the toilet as shown  in the photo. The microfiber pads work great.  Really mops well and picks up any dirt along the way. It glides under baseboards and into corners like a champ. You can easily control how dry you want the pad so the floor will dry faster. You can even use it as a dust mop if you like. Just throw it in the washer when you’re done. Two pads are included so you can change them out.<br />Here’s what’s not to like.  The pole handle goes together easily in metal sections, but it also loosens as you mop which is frustrating. I would need to tape the joints if I used it all the time. I also found the pole too short for me so I was constantly stooping while mopping.  I had way too much trouble removing the top so that I could fill the bucket with water and then dump the dirty water. I practically broke the handle off trying. The bucket is too tall for standard sinks and you have to tip it to fill it. I looked, but could not find a fill line on the side or inside the bucket so I had no idea exactly how much water to put in.  I discovered I didn’t put quite enough and part of my pad wasn’t even getting wet. Fitting  the mop head into the bucket just right and tugging it up and down to wet and dry it takes more effort than I expected.  Pull up too fast and you risk tipping the bucket.<br />This contraption makes mopping even more of a chore than it already is and I can’t recommend it especially at over thirty dollars. I would take my spin mop and bucket over this any day for the price.
