Rubbermaid Commercial Products WaveBrake 35 QT Side-Press Mop Bucket and Wringer Combo on Wheels, Blue, for Heavy-Duty Floor Cleaning

One of the best, if not THEE best purchase I ever made on Amazon!! I purchased this item together with the UNISAN UNS 603 mop handle and the Rubbermaid mop head (FG23800BL00). I was a janitor for four years so using those cheap, lightweight mops just wasnt getting things done. I used to use metal buckets and press-down equipment so I was hesitant to purchase a 'plastic mop bucket'. Boy was I wrong. This bucket is made of 1/2 thick harden plastic. As you get closer to the mop press it thickens even more to allow for the extra weight and pressing function,.so its extremely well made. As to the wheels, these are not hard wheels. They are soft 'plastic' absorbing wheels. So when you roll the bucket from one surface to another it can clear and overcome a 1/4" to 1/2" lip without a problem. It wont get stuck or crack the edge during floor transition surfaces. The mop press is sturdy. That is where I am still hesitant to put in my full body weight on it. Once this plastic cracks on these type of items its over. So when I use the mop pressed I do not place allot pressure, but enough to do the job. I just take the mop, re-position it and press again so its not such a big deal. This way I was careful and not reckless. Finally the ease of use. When I roll this puppy down my harden floors, if I stop or should for some reason hit something, the water does not splash. That wave function does its job as advertised!. It can hold easily about 4-6+ gallons of water. When you empty the buck, the residual dirt and 'trash' rolls right out (none stick or slick surface allows for this). Also you can't see it on the pictures, but where the back of the bucket is you can tilt it to throw the dirty water out. Their is a lip where you can cup your hand under so you can tilt it right into the sink or disposal area. Look, you can mess around with these cheap squeeze light mops and end up paying more than purchasing this one time item. With that press you never have to touch dirty water again. Oh did I mention the mop head is washable? I store the unit in the garage and bring it inside for big jobs. Those quick spills or small leaks is when I use the grocery type mop. So if your house is solid flooring like mine, this is a time saver, back saver, and overall EXCELLENT item. And NO I don't work for Rubbermaid, I just know a good item when I see and use it. You wont regret purchasing this item!! - Joseph

Built well,, works great

I was worried, with the large amount of stress and force placed on the wringer apparatus, that it might give way after a while. This item has a very heavy, industrial grade plastic frame, which indicates it will be in use for quite some time.

It’s a very well made mop bucket. But, either Rubbermaid changed the design or it’s a different model than the one I’ve used in the past. The biggest issue I have with it is that the mop can get stuck in the teeth at the bottom of the wringer. I could understand if I was using an aftermarket brand of mop head, but I’m using a genuine Rubbermaid mop head. Overall, it works well and would recommend even with that design flaw.

It’s efficient, durable, and well worth the investment for anyone who needs a professional-grade cleaning tool. If you're looking for a high-quality, long-lasting mop bucket, this one is definitely a five-star product!

I bought this to do my shop floor and my garage floors. It’s commercial grade, and very robust. I believe in buying quality once and avoiding headaches in the future. I believe this fits the bill .The WaveBrake works great. I also bought the “Dirty Water Bucket” that goes with it and fits perfectly in place. That really helps to eliminate the film that excessive dirty water can leave behind!I would recommend this Rubbermaid Mop Bucket without hesitation!

I bought it for my momIt came well protected and box, very big box.My mom would complain of how time consuming and strenuous it was to mop and clean mop, cry the mop and mop again.So i purchase this for her.I have a feeling i could of found somewhere else cheaper but it would be time consuming and round up to a similar amountits very sturdy, hold a lot of clean water on one side and has a removable bucket for dirty water, moves very efficiently and has a grape or holder for the mop while sitting in the clean water side which is cool so the mop handle/stick wont be falling to the sides< that a plus>.She get her work done much faster and I also use it sometimes.I would recommend this productI just feel like the wringer doesn't remove enough water from the mop, you have to put enough force to remove just enough water to where it almost just a moist mopI feel like its a little unsteady when remove water from wringer compare to the one i have at my job.Not a bad mop and wringer

Everybody at my job was surprised that I bought itI bought it cause our boss wouldn't buy us one.How do you expect us to do our job without the right equipmentI work in a restaurant.
