I live in a home with kids, grandkids, great grandkids, dogs, cats and hubby…it’s impossible to keep the floor clean! I have purchased so many different mops, vacuums, brooms anything I thought might make it a little easier to clean the floors. Nothing really made much difference until I got this mop/vacuum. This makes it so much easier, before I had to sweep one day, mop the next because I am 70 and just can’t do that much at one time. But with this little thing, I can do both vacuum up the dirt and mop the floor almost all at once! I do wait till everyone is in bed, and I take my time, I take a break halfway through, but it doesn’t wear me out. It comes with disposable pads and cleaner, but I have also used it with my own cleaner, and I did go ahead and purchase the reusable pad thing, and it works great, very easy to remove and replace the dirty one, then empty and wash the dirty pad. I highly recommend this mop thing, the suction is great and the sprayer for the solution works well…it does make a little noise, but not too much, no one has come out complaining that it woke them up! I am so happy to have clean floors again with not too much effort.
