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.

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.

Just started using the Bissell FlipEase. So far I am very please. We have a big yellow lab that comes in with wet dirty feet after being out in the Pacific NW rain. I am so thrilled to have something to vacuum the kitchen floor and then flip it over and mop up any footprints, etc. I did not purchase this as the heavy duty appliance, this is just for the quick vac after dinner and to get up light spill or gunk on the floor.

2 Months later - still love this product. Several slight negatives though. One, I have trouble getting mine to stand up straight on its own so I have to lean it against the wall or something when not in use.
Second, the sprayer does not always shoot out a lot of fluid. I have used a sewing needle to open up the holes (don't know if they get clogged or what). BUT.... I still like this very well and use it daily to vacuum the kitchen floor and do a quick mop. Well worth the money.

This is what I use it on - 800 sq. feet of laminate and a tile entry way. I have 3 cats and 2 small dogs. This is by far the best product I have used to keep my floors looking and smellling clean between weekend scubs. The vacuum is great for picking up pet hair, cat litter and other messes. The mop performs a little weaker than the swifer mop but still its better than nothing. What I love most is that it is ECONOMICAL. No batteries, no bags, and no overpriced disposable mop pads. I found that changing the pad after I vacuum and before I mop gives me better results, so you may want to buy extra pads.

I purchased this at an overstock-type store, as I hadn't seen it at my local Target. I got it for $25 and it is WELL worth it!

I use it daily in my kitchen. I have one very messy child (autistic), another child, and a dog (and the husband!). I love this for cleaning up before, or after, dinner. My dog frequently gets into our trash and makes a mess on the floor. This is wonderful for that!

I'd been wanting a hard floor machine cleaner/vacuum for quite some time, and I'm glad I waited for this! I love how it's rechargeable (it's never died during use) so there is no cord. It's also light, which is great. I'm 5'2" and it's just the right height for me. I could see how someone over 5'5" may have an issue.

This is *not* meant for all-over house cleaning, as some have mentioned, nor is it meant for really big messes (as in if you don't sweep/mop your floor for a long time...I won't mention names!). It's more for daily quick work. It is also *not* made to "suction" up the wet cleaner...not sure where the reviewer got that idea. I actually LOVE not having a wet suction, as all the reviews of other, more expensive "flip type" cleaners said the dirty tanks were a big mess. I love how I can just pop the pads in the laundry and rotate the two. I've found replacement microfiber pads made for other machines at both Target (Method brand) and Ace Hardware.

I do NOT use the Bissell floor cleaner it came with - it does make a nice, shiny floor *very* dull. Instead I use my Armstrong floor cleaner. Any floor cleaner will do. I do not have issues with wet leaks. I do remove the pad, if it's the least bit wet, when storing, or it will mildew it and the floor. If it's a new, clean pad, I can leave it on there.

I can suck up pretty large things. I sometimes have to pick up the machine (but it's light) as I'm drawing it back when vacuuming, because if the pad is wet, it will drag through it. I don't find this to be a big issue.

It's so light and easy, my 10 y.o. can do it and he loves it so much better than using the sponge mop.

I haven't yet used it on bathroom floors, but I'm sure I'll have good results with it.

Oh, and the suction is great, and the dry, dirty tank is very easy to empty. I think the reviewers that said it's a problem haven't attached the tank on the machine properly - or their filter is off kilter.

This was the best mother's day present I ever rec'd!

EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention how nice this gadget gets under my cabinets. My regular vacuum won't, and it's even hard for my sponge mop. This is great, plus with the pads covering the sides, it gets stuff along the baseboards also.

I read a review where someone tried this on carpet and said it didn't work. It says right on the box it's for hard floors!

I now have 4 pads and it's nice to keep them rotated. This tool has been very helpful with family members, and the dog, tracking in mud and grass.

I absolutely love the product. It makes my life of sweeping and mopping a breeze. However I will have to do the occasionally scrubbing or sweeping for bigger items, but still a great buy all together!

I think the bissell flip eaze is so handy because you don't have to plug it in, it picks up dog and cat hair just great, and with the flip of a handle, you pull the trigger to release the cleaner, and mop away. I don't think this is for your weekly (or bi-weekly in my case) deep cleaning, but it does great on a day-to-day basis. I have two dogs and two cats so we have a lot of animal hair collecting on our hard floors. If you have pets, you're sure to love it. The reason I don't give it 5 stars is because, it will not pick up larger pieces of debris such as plant leaves.

I got this for an apartment with two guys who hate to clean. I figured if I got a cool gadget that also cleans maybe they will us it. well, my plan worked perfectly! not only do they use it in the kitchen, but the bathroom as well. It does a great job cleaning the floors. They only thing I would suggest is making sure that you completely vacuum the floor first. If your floor is heavily soiled (like theirs was) it may take some elbow grease on the first try. After that keep up is easy.

I love this product. It is so easy to work without having to plug in a cord. It sucks up the dirt effectively and the flip side does an excellent job of mopping. Very glad I bought it.
