Spinning Mops - are they a good idea?

[hi-loswitch98]

To be honest, IMHO they're okay but not great.

They are liable to break easily though, we had a Leifheit one for 3 years until Mum broke the handle by spinning it to fast. It still mopped up the dirt & was great for our wooden floors which couldn't be wet for too long.

I might buy another one, but probably either the Wilko branded one or the Vileda one, staying away from JML's Whizz Mop.

But what's your opinion on Spinning Mops, guys?

Spin Mop? Never heard of such a thing-is this a hard floor polisher?Do you have a video of a Spin Mop being used?

Somthing like this - a normal mop & bucket which has a spin basket & you can spin the mop head so it's damp not wet.

My mom has one at work that she likes quite a bit, and she works in a dog grooming salon so it gets a lot of use.

Interesting idea-but since its a "TV gadget" will it work as shown on TV?If so would be a nice companion tool to your vacuum.

Thay do work but stay fromm the JML 'Whizz Mop' which has a flimsy handle & breaks if you're not careful.

I recently bought one and have been impressed with it for keeping the wood floors cleaned up and it doesn't leave streaks like other mops I've tried before. Just make sure all of the strands of the mop head are down in the basket or it throws water everywhere when you spin it out (learned that one quickly).

The one shown in the YouTube video link was the 1st generation I believe of the SpinMop from HSN , and indeed was not a great product it was very cheaply built for the price. ShopNBC offers a version of the SpinMop which I find to be better and the one I would recommend.
