Great alternative to hand mopping, which is why we bought it. Note, that absolutely (& unequivocally) it does take multiple rounds of mopping before the floor actually comes out clean! Outlined the process below along w. PRO’s & CON’s, and lessons learned.\n\nPROs: super easy to glide, is not exhausting to mop [compared to normal mopping], feels like a quality motor & piece of machine, super easy to pull apart & put back together because pieces ONLY fit ONE possible way which is huge — even my daughter loves mopping now. \n\nCONs: small tank needs constant empty/refill with new water & solution, vacuum brush needs frequent rinsing/cleaning even between the many empty/refill cycles. Does not do well vacuuming.\n\nCLEANING PROCESS: to actually get [fully] clean floors: \n(1) split the house into rooms [no larger than 13x15 size] and tackled one room at a time.\n(2) for each room, we mopped three times total.\n(3) each time we mopped we went over the area twice: once vertically [fwd/backwards across room], second time horizontally [left/right]. We had to mop SLOW & rinse the brush head ~3-5x per room. Lastly, we had to dump old water & refill new solution at least 2x per room. \n\nBy the end of round 3, floors felt noticeably clean and the ‘wipe’ test on white napkin was clean. \n\nThis was our “first house clean” after unboxing. Our floors did NOT look or feel that dirty beforehand. We now [try to] mop every 6-9 weeks. \n\nLESSONS: \n— Learned the lower/rug setting [brush pressed firmer against floor] works SO much better at all times! Albeit, likely wears brush out faster. \n— Tried several cleaners: including Bissell Pet formula (just ok), Zep (best, but even diluted leaks suds out the side of vacuum a little), biokleen (not anymore), and botanical decon30 disinfectant (never again, sud city!).\n— Definitely recommend vacuuming first but would not recommend using this device as a vacuum at all.\n\nFINAL: Yes, I would absolutely recommend & buy again. We’ll see how long it lasts!
