BISSELL Spinwave (2039A)

I have always been the "get down on your hands and knees" sort for cleaning floors. Alas, that is no longer physically possible. I have spinal issues, and can't carry much weight, either. So, I have tried a number of solutions: this Bissell, damp swiffers, a spinning mop set, and 2 brands of robotic floor cleaners. This one turned out to be my favorite. I have had it for 10 months now, with no issues. I bought one extra set of mop heads at that time, and there is no sign of needing to replace any of them, yet (Two person household, one cat, and one of these people refuses to take his shoes off so the floors get really dirty). First, the mop set. These are really nice. I bought one when they first arrived on the scene, and the brand was called "Sir Mops A Lot." There are other brand names, too, and they look similar so it is probably the same manufacturer. This did make mopping the floor much easier. It could take a little bit of patience to get the mop lined up to "spin" correctly, but that wasn't an issue for me. I liked the on-board soap dispenser, and the built-in handle to move it around. The problem was that due to my limitations, I could not empty the bucket. I could fill it one pitcher of water at a time, and didn't want to handle dirty water that way. Otherwise, my search would have ended. Sir-Mops-a-Lot Spin Mop - Revolutionary Rolling Spin Mop and Stainless Steel Bucket System with 360 Easy Wring Swivel Technology - Top Rated Wood Floor Mop and Tile Floor Mop Damp swiffers just didn't get the job done, and depended on me to apply pressure which is tough on my spine. I tried 2 brands of robotic floor washers, because I really wanted that to work. Who wouldn't want a robot to do the floor? :) One famous name-brand had problems with leaking, and the other got itself stuck going in a tight circular pattern while I wasn't paying attention, and it actually damaged the vinyl tile (poor flooring choice, but still). So, I do not recommend those. For just a vacuum, sure. To mop it has to have much more contact with the floor, and that's where there is more potential for damage either from that, or leaking that could go unnoticed. This spinwave mop has been just great! At 8 pounds it is coming close to maxing out the weight I am allowed to carry, so I do not fill the water container. Instead, I just spray the cleaner on the floor ahead of time, and then go for it. The pads stick onto the velcro easily. Some reviewers mentioned that theirs did not work. I wonder if they tried lowering the handle out of the vertical position. It doesn't spin until you do that. This glides over the floor, and as long as the pads are lined up evenly, it takes almost no effort at all to guide it. I could do it with two fingers! The pads go into the washing machine, too, and I love that aspect (I knock the loose dirt off, first). There are pads that are completely soft, and others have a slight scrubby texture to them. I found that either type gets my floors very clean, even the grout. I do recommend having extra pads, and those are available here: Bissell 2124 Spinwave Mop Pad Kit Replacement Pads I hope that this is helpful to you; do let me know, please! Happy shopping!

I am in love! We switched the majority of our flooring in our home to a high gloss porcelain last Fall and, while I adore my floors, I have two kids and three dogs and a reflective floor shows everything. To be honest, that is exactly why I got the porcelain - so I could know when it needed cleaning. Anyway, mopping and vacuuming were a chore and a half and I had my eye on the Oreck Orbiter to take over the mopping duties. Renting and using the Oreck just once made me realize that my shoulder joints would give out before the Oreck did. And then, along came Bissell with this lovely little mop. Light and pretty and oh, so easy to use, this is a dream come true for how I want my floors to look. The buffing pads spin just like the Oreck Orbiter but the vibration is no where near as heavy so that your arm doesn't feel like it is going to fall off by the time you are done. To be fair the Orbiter is a polisher and this is just a mop but still . . .. I ordered the mop with the extra Mop pad kit and I am glad that I did since I went through all the pads by the time I was done with the house. Observations : The scrubbing pad was not my favorite. It left swirl marks on my floor which was easily buffed out with a toe so I think it was just left over dirt. For a textured tile or for a non-glossy tile the scrubbing pad might be good but for a highly polished ceramic I found the soft pads to be best. I used warm tap water and a splash of vinegar instead of the commercial cleaning fluid that came with the kit. I prefer not to get unknown chemicals all over the house with dogs and barefoot kids running around and licking things off the floor - the dogs, not the kids! I have been told that a slosh of hydrogen peroxide into the warm water can replace the vinegar and smell less . . . vinegary. The mop does pull away a bit from you especially when it comes up against baseboards so it can be a bit tiring if you are hauling back on it a lot. Also, it does make a rather annoying beep when you press the button to spray the cleaning fluid. You can hear it in the video. The mop head fits smoothly under standard cabinet kick spaces and the front of dishwashers. I was very impressed by that since some appliance designers seem to forget that bit. I hope the attached video helps you to see just how well the mop does this. I did try out the vacuum combined with mop version of the spin wave and it felt a bit too heavy for my liking. I also like the ability to wash and sanitize the pads if needed. Did I mention dogs and children? So, between the Bissell Spin Wave and the Bissell Air Ram I think all my other floor care tools can retire quietly to the garage.

Our first spin mop didn't function properly, but Bissell was quick to replace the unit under warranty. The second unit is functioning very well. The mop makes scrubbing the floors quicker and much easier on the hands for people who have weak hands or suffer from carpal tunnel issues. The removable, machine-washable pads are great. The unit comes with a set of two pads, one set for polishing hardwood floors, and another for deeper scrubbing of tile floors or areas with more traffic like kitchens or bathrooms. The unit also comes with two bottles of cleaning product that goes a long way since it is concentrated to mix with water. The built-in cleaning dispenser is great because you can spray as much or as little of the cleaner as you need. We use the mop to clean our vinyl tile floors with a lot of cleaner and our laminate hardwood floors with little cleaner. We're loving the results so far. The cord is long enough to cover the whole room without having to switch outlets.

Good product..

Love this floor cleaner !! I finally tried it for the first time today and wow ! I filled up the bottle with the amount of water and soap needed for a large area and after I cleaned my kitchen, bathroom and living room, the bottle was still half full ! The pads are also very easy to wash. Dropped them in the washing machine, they came out spotless. I only found 2 things that could need improvement. 1. It's pretty heavy, although you dont really need to lift it while cleaning. 2. I wish it were cordless. The cords is really long and often gets in the way.

I bought the product, but unfortunately it did not work. I was super excited that I bought extra mop pads though it was included with the machine. I had notified the issue to the supplier and tried to get it fixed but couldn't and requested details to return the product. The supplier gave full refund for the product for which am really grateful. For their service I have given 5 star.

El producto es muy bueno, te facilita la limpieza del área, el poder rociar el líquido a voluntad permite administrarlo y que se seque mucho más rápido el área, en lugares con alguna mancha ligera aplicas el líquido y con las almohadillas giratorias quita las manchas sin ptoblemas. El líquido que incluye se diluye en agua y deja un ligero aroma y agradable.

Probe el mop inalambrico de VMAI , buena calidad pero , solo me duraba la pila 15 minutos y en un par de ocasiones los motores se calentaban , por lo que ademas tenia que dejar que se enfriaran, de tal manera que la limpieza se quedaba a la mitad, en cambio con este mop de BISSEL ,que es alambrica , lo he usado por 4 horas sin ningun problema, yo tengo pisos de porcelanato .
