A really good tool at a really good price.
This spray mop is simple, easy, and comes with the instructions printed on the side of the box it was packed in. There's really no need (sorta) for paper instructions, except ...<br /><br />This is not particularly difficult to assemble, but I was stumped when it came to filling the bottle. First, the was no apparent cap, you couldn’t unscrew it because of the shape of the bottle (it wraps around the handle), and I could not pull it out. As it happens, pulling it out is exactly how you remove the bottle to fill it with a cleaning solution. The carton just says "fit the bottle onto the mop" but it was already fitted onto the mop handle when we got it, it was trying to figure out how to take it off without breaking it that was our issue. Pull hard, the bottle is held in place with an "O" ring. Make sure you have additional O rings (available at any hardware store for a few pennies), eventually this one will wear out.<br /><br />The cleaning pad looks as if it was obviously not made for this mop; they are too wide and too long. But I believe that it was designed this way on purpose, perhaps to prevent the plastic pad holder from scratching furniture or walls.<br /><br />This comes with three mop heads and a tool that hangs on the handle. I believe that that tool is for cleaning the mop heads.<br /><br />What this is, essentially, is a giant water gun. You squeeze the trigger, and you spray water, like a toy gun. When we first put on the pad, we placed it with the excess in front; it turns out that this was a bad idea since the spray does not go very far, and most of it was absorbed by the pad. So we learned to place the pad so that the excess was in the back.<br /><br />We have another one of these, not made as well and it only shipped with one pad and no pad cleaning tool. My original review said it was a toy and I was going to toss it in the garbage, but we soon found ourselves using it often and we now rely on it for quick cleanups. I was going to edit my review, but that product is no longer available. This brand and model is much improved over that one, and we will use it in one of our other homes. The aluminum tubes are thicker and denser, the plastic fittings are better and the mop heads (you get three, not 1) are softer and more absorbent. The mop head swivels up, down, to the side, etc. You will have no problem getting into spots and when hanging it up, you can make it very compact by swiveling the head.<br /><br />For an insanely cheap "Swiffer" type cleaner, this is really a very good product. We just put some cleaning solution in the bottle and you never need to worry about the battery being charged. Sometimes, simpler is better.<br /><br />I'm rating this 5 stars because of what it is. It's certainly not a Swiffer or other more costly product, but for what this costs, it's an excellent value. Don't be a jerk and judge it out of the box (like I was with the first model), give it some time and I think you'll really enjoy having this around.<br /><br />Recommended.<br /><br />Review of: Spray Mops for Floor Cleaning,SZBJSMF Microfiber Dust Mop with 3 Washable Reusable heads.
