Let me preface this by saying ‘Yes, I just started a thread about a mop.’

Moving right along:

I’m planning on picking one up today (I even called ahead to the store and had them set one aside for me) and before I head out I thought I would ask if anyone has one or has tired one?

Based on the commercials and the website they seem like they would work well - I like the idea of not having to use the stinky, gooey cleaner that comes with other systems (i.e. swiffer) and it’s nice to be able to clean the pad and reuse it.

However, I suppose it might be crap - so - anyone tried one? Or will I be the first?

As I’m sure you have all been waiting with baited breath:

I bought the mop, mopped and it’s quite fantastic - it cleaned and got all the dog hair scooped up super quick. So there you go - if you were thinking about it go for it.

A bucketless mop where I can mix my own solution. This just made my birthday list!

You know, I debated this back and forth trying to choose the right bate. Well I know for next time. 🙂
