NeikaNoelle 4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price - very easy to assemble and use! Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022 Style: iFLOORVerified Purchase I had been considering a much more expensive cordless maxx mop made by a major brand name, but the $400 price kept me from pulling the trigger on it. I found this item and it had all the features I was looking for, the price was good, and it had free shipping/returns, so I made the purchase. I've had it for a couple of weeks now, and here is my first impression: PROS: (*) The included instructions are easy to understand, and it takes no tools to assemble. Just click the handle into place and you are good to go. (*) Cordless is wonderful. The battery life is fairly good - it runs maybe 20-25 minutes on a full charge. Charging does take a while but I think the slower charge is supposed to be better for the overall battery life? (*) It's fairly light weight even with the water tank full, and easy to maneuver with one small exception (see below) (*) The mop roller housing is short enough to get under the toe kicks of my cabinets. I love this feature! (*) Very happy with included cleaning solution - it has a mild fresh scent that doesn't irritate my allergies, and makes the room smell very clean. I haven't noticed any streaking as long as I don't try to move the mop too fast, and there is no hazing when it dries. (*) It's super easy to take apart to clean and dry the components. When you empty the dirty water tank, you can see what it has picked up and it seems to be doing a very good job. It can pick up small debris and crumbs easily. I haven't tried it on any larger items - cereal, doggie kibble, etc., so can't comment on how well it does on that. CONS: There were a few reasons I didn't feel confident giving it a full five stars. (*) Another thing that needs improvement is the size of the mop roller - it's around 8 inches in length, but my tiles are 12" x 24". It takes at least two passes to cover each tile, and cleaning would go much faster if the roller were 12". (*) It doesn't do a great job getting into the grout, but I doubt any machine like this would. I have a long handled grout brush that I use when I've got something that the mop can't get to. Some helpful hints for first time users: (*) I found that it works best to run a self cleaning cycle before you start mopping. This gets the mop roller saturated faster and allows the roller to move more easily. (*) If you have rectangular tiles or board-like tile (rather than squares), run the mop in the direction of the longest side of the tile . The mop roller handles that much easier because there are less grout lines, which can cause it to skip a just little bit. (*) Slowly push forward and slowly pull back towards towards you. I noticed more streaks/missed spots when I tried to use this in a quick motion like I do with my regular vacuum. (*) I also found that it works best to press the solution spray trigger in several small short bursts while pushing the mop forward, and then letting it vacuum up the excess solution as you pull it back towards you. Overall, I'm more than satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this item! UPDATED 8-15-2022. After just a few uses, my unit was starting to leave tracks and didn't see to be dispensing much water at all. I had been taking it apart to clean it after each use, so I didn't think that was the problem. I contacted the company and they had a response for me within 24 hours. They suggested I take a damp cloth, remove the roller, and wipe out the back of the roller housing where the sprayer nozzles are. Turns out the sprayers were partially blocked with something that looked like lint. Once I did that, the unit was working just fine again. So be sure to remove your roller and wipe out that area after each cleaning. There is a video on youtube (posted by someone else) that goes in detail on how to clean it - very helpful.
