4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth the money, January 4, 2007

I love mine! I use another item with rotating brushes for my deep mopping, but we use this little thing for daily clean-ups and have had no problems with things spilling. I've washed the pads and have found them to come out of the wash clean. I really only have two complaints. One, sometimes a little(I'm talking about drops here, definitely not a lot) of the mopping solution leaks out during the vacuum cycle. This is not a problem for me because I plan to mop after I vacuum anyway. The other complaint is that you need to remember to change the pad after vacuuming if you plan to mop. Otherwise, you mop with a dirty pad. Anyway, we love ours and are thrilled to have found it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An End to Procrastination, March 6, 2007

I have a large dining/kitchen area with laminate flooring. I have three children, ages 16, 13 and 10- the youngest kids are boys. I have a large blue tick hound and four cats. This floor gets dirty! It requires daily maintenance to look good. Sweeping and mopping requires a lot of stuff to haul out and put away everyday. Needless to say, the floor was NOT getting daily maintenance! I looked at the Swiffer products, but don't like the idea of having to buy their proprietary products every month to use the equipment, not to mention the fact that I would be adding to land fills every time I cleaned my floor.

I have to say that the product I really wanted was the Bissell FlipIt, but until I can afford it, the FlipEaze is great for us. I get enough charge overnight to vacuum the whole floor and I love the fact that it's cordless. Granted, it's not going to pick up big pieces of stuff, but it does a great job getting the dusty stuff that the broom was just pushing up into the air. It's bagless which is also nice. When I'm done vacuuming, I literally can just flip it around and start mopping. It comes with two microfiber pads that can be washed and used again and again. I'm hoping that I can buy them separately because I would like a fresh one everyday. The holding tank is small, secure and can do about three cleanings before needing to be refilled. The FlipEaze comes with a bottle of floor cleaner and you only need a small amount each time you fill the tank so it should last a long time. So far, I've used my FlipEaze twice. The first time there was a considerable amount of streaking, but I am a FlyBaby and I am trying to establish the concept of "done regularly, but imperfectly" rather than "hardly ever done, but done perfectly." [...]. The second day the floor looked A LOT better when I finished and I think day three will be better yet! I love having a tool that is ready to grab and go and once I have more microfiber pads, it truly will be. I highly recommend this product. I would have given it 5 stars if it had come with more pads.

Got it on sale for $20. I have been very happy with it. The vacuum works great and holds a charge long enough for a two bedroom two floor condo with all hard wood floors. I use it in the bathrooms too. You can use any cleaner in it, even vinegar and water. I clean the floors all the time since I got this...its so easy. I'm sure products that use heat or brushes clean better, but the floors look and smell clean to me. Amazing on pet hair. I had the Swiffer wet jet. It didn't vacuum, and broke quickly. With the Swiffer wet jet you have to use their expensive solution (the Bissel can use anything), has batteries for the solution spray, and disposable pads. The Swiffer is very expensive to use over time.
