Vileda Easy Wring and Clean Microfibre Mop and Bucket with Power Spin Wringer

Worth every hard earned penny! At £29.99 this may seem ridiculously, nay extortionately expensive for what is essentially a mop and bucket. However, as a cleaner by occupation, I can assure you this has to be one of the best labour saving devices I've used in a long time. I've yet to find out just how long the mechanism on the bucket will last, (it's very sturdy and robustly made!) and whether it can stand up to the rigours of daily use, but as I've never regretted the purchase of ANY Vileda products I'm confident that this too will be with me for quite some time! I've currently been it's proud owner and user for a couple of months already and so far no problems to report! The level of effort required to operate the foot pedal is, quite fankly, hard to put into one word! So I'll use four! Effortlessly and satisfyingly easy!! Think, 'hot knife through butter' and you've got it! The action is so well constructed it doesn't feel fragile 'under foot' at all. The mop head is quickly spun to the level of moisture you desire - too wet? Step on the pedal again! (Yeah it's THAT easy!) And away you go! The mop head quickly makes short work of my floors - it's thick strands removing even difficult dried on spills. I'm done in next to no time at all and with minimum effort on my part!! Hell yeah to that sister!! I've never felt any emotion towards a mop and bucket set. I mean, that's hardly normal behaviour, is it?! But I think I'm actually in love with this one! I've found myself taking the time to lovingly rinse then dry the bucket with a cloth after each use. It's brought joy to a task that previously only provoked loathing, who wouldn't respect it thus?! Last thing - yes, the bucket IS larger than average but as it has a fairly shallow fill line it's easily placed at an angle into the sink without fear of spilling. Alternatively you can ease your old bucket more gently into retirement by using it to fill this magnificent new one! There's more than one way to skin a cat!! Go on, buy one! You won't regret it and you might even enjoy using it - I do!! ;-)

Well there's some things I don't normally review. What can you say about a mop and bucket? Well I can honestly say this has changed my life! Yes seriously. This has changed mopping from being a chaw to a dream. All the floors in our house are tiled and need daily mopping to keep them clean. Prior to buying this I used a standard mop and bucket which took forever to mop and then forever to dry. I was completely fed up of trying to time cleaning the floor around the kid, dogs and visitors walking all over it. It took forever to dry. When our old mop broke I decided to give this one a go. Amazing!! The bucket is well constructed and looks build to last. Its fairly large and I noted that some reviews say they struggle to get it in their sinks. It's fine for me, it is big but you can easily fill it beyond the fill line when you angle it in to the tap. I wouldn't want to see this any smaller as it really seats well on the floor. My old bucket would occasionally tip over emptying water all over the floor. This sits well on the floor with very little chance of tipping over. The mop head places into the spinner and you then press on the pedal to spin dry the mop head. I've got to say this is the products best feature. One gentle press wrings out the mop enough so it doesn't drip but retains a fair amount of water to really get a good amount of water on the floor for cleaning. (For those real tough dried on dirt) Two gentle presses wrings the mop out nicely for general mopping. Several spins wrings the mop out to its almost dry. Ideal for going over for the final time. This leaves the floor almost completely dry. The floors are mopped and completely dry within a couple of minutes!! The mop head is large which means mopping the larges floor only takes a few minutes. It also has a hinge on the top of the mop head meaning you can get this mop under furniture and do a proper mop job without moving the world to do it. The microfibre head on the mop is ideal for mopping up spills. Simply wring the mop head out by a couple of spins and then it soaks up all the spill and holds it whilst you transfer it to the bucket. If you only have a small area to mop then I wouldn't say this is worth spending the money. It's pretty expensive for a mop and bucket. For me it was worth every penny. Just in time saved alone means this has paid for itself.

After my JML spin bucket died, I started to check out a replacement as I definitely was not going back to the old way of mop wringing. The vileda mop and bucket had very good reviews and although more expensive than some others, looked very sturdy. Having now used it for some months, I can confirm that it is all I wanted and more. I have dogs and cats and hard wood floors and the combination can at times be a nightmare. Muddy paw prints from walks and garden, water sloshed about when drinking and the odd bout of sickness all demand a good mop and bucket and this vileda buy was just the job. To be truthful it leaves the JML standing, is very stable in use and does not shoot across the floor when using the foot peddle. The mop head comes out pleasingly dry and the other mops of this type easily fit the spinner. The handle is telescopic and I have had no problems with the handle losing its ability to stay where you want it. Yes, only one mop head comes with the purchase but spares are easily found. So having used it on a daily basis I can happily recommend this vileda mop and spinner bucket set.

I would have given this five stars if the mop was as sturdy as the bucket ;) I'm a very happy owner of a lot of vileda products and any time i've brought another brand has been because i needed a quick replacement while waiting for my new vileda product to turn up! At 6ft 3 i've always liked the vileda designs as they're adjustable and save me a lot of bending over, making housework a lot easier and less backbreaking, the mop is good, but it's not as substantial as i'd like, it would be better if it was as well made as my vileda flat mop, but i'm afraid it's a lot more flimsy. The joint where it meets the mop head buckles under any vigorous pressure (i must explain, i have children and dogs, so scrubbing the floor has to be done) however, in a house where the floor only has to be tickled with a mop to end up sparkiling clean i guess it should be ok. The bucket, for me, does exactly as it says, three presses on the pedal and the mop is almost dry, i mopped my laminate and less than three minutes later the floor was dry, with my cheap mop i'd have to have doors and windows open and still hope it'd all be dry in ten minutes ... I'm also lucky enough to have a downstairs bathroom because the only downside of the bucket is that you'd struggle to get it in and out of a sink, i had to fill it up using the bath tap. This may present a problem for those less able bodied and/or without a large/downstairs sink. All in all, the bucket is great but on the large side The mop could do with being a bit less flimsy The combination cleans well, dries quickly But if i had to buy it again i wouldn't be paying £30 for it, i'd say £15-20 at a push the way it stands and maybe slightly more if the mop handle design is improved.

This mop is amazing ive ordered 3 now for family they love um, ive never had so many uses for a mop ive duster ed the walls, the kitchen cupboards, the doors ,the frames ,the conservatory roof and windows omg its a blessing in disguise, love this mop will never go back to the old wring me out mop, this is so easy to use and how many of use dust our walls etc wallpaper well you can now and so quick only down side is one of the mops the peddle slips, but omg what a back saving cleaning machine id order this even if i didn't have a floor to mop cause there is so many uses for it ive done the shower tiles too and the kitchen tiles mop stays clean cause it wrings out so good never had a mop wring out so good what a brill invention, well worth every penny i should be on commission the amount ive ordered for friends, this is brill buy one!

I like to call this thing a poodle, since it kinda resembles poodle's hair, but joking aside, it is a very cool product and it does its job very well. The wringing mechanism is awesome. If you pedal enough you'll wring your mop, so the drying process will be swifter than with a hand-wring mop. It's way better than some of the mops I've used in the past - no half-hour waiting time for the floor to properly dry out and so easy to put away and store (bucket is a bit bigger than an ordinary mop bucket though) It did take me a while to expand the stick to its full potential. At first it only went out halfway, because there are two telescopes (and one of them wasn't exactly easy to spot and pull out). My first thought was to get rid of it, since it was only suitable for a child's height (my back complained). But luckily, after the second inspection, I was able to pull it out fully and use it without doubling over. After I'm done with cleaning, I throw the mop head in the washer and it comes out nice and clean to be used again. Great product, probably won't need another one, unless I break the bucket. Will buy replacement mops though.

Comes very well packaged and extremely easy to assemble the mop. The bucket itself looks very stylish (if a bucket can be stylish) with its matte black and red colour and it feels very durable. It has a large capacity therefore the bucket is fairly big but it doesn't look or feel clunky at all. The spinning pedal seems very strong which is vital as I've broken many cheaper spinning mop buckets from the pedal cracking or malfunctioning making it unable to spin, the pedal on this bucket seems very strong and smooth drying the mop perfectly. Some have concerns on getting burns from the handle of the mop whilst it spins but as the surface of the mop handle is very comfortable and smooth, this shouldn't be a problem when resting it on your skin. Overall I'm extremely pleased with how this performs. It is very easy to use because of the efficiency of drying and its quality is faultless, Vileda always make products of exceptional quality and this is no exception.

I have been using this for 3 years now. Excellent product..but the only reason what I am not happy with is the the mop head. The bucket as such is very good. It is sturdy and reliable. Squeezes out all the water right out. Perfect for wood floors. It works very well for tiles as well. A few weeks after I bought it, something happened and there was problem with plastic piece(the black part) connecting the mop head with the stick . So when I was mopping, the stick would come away without the head. I searched everywhere but could not buy the mop without the bucket. I stuck it together with super glue and it worked only for a few months that way. I have now used tough black tape (industrial type) and it now works wonderfully. Even though it goes into the water many times it holds very well . This has solved my problem. My point is: it is such a good product that it was worth going to a little trouble to make it work for me. Why cant Vileda sell the mops separately? Good buy..

Well designed, easy to use, and good quality, been using it for a few years now.

Wir haben einige Wischmop-Systeme durchprobiert und auch schon bei Amazon bestellt. Die meisten Systeme sind nach kurzer Zeit bereits kaputt gegangen. Der Vileda Easy Wring kommt in einem für Vileda typischen Karton an. Der Stiel ist 3-teilig und verschraubbar. Das Verschrauben benötigt ein wenig Kraft, dafür ist diese Art der Verbindung jedoch mit großem Abstand die stabilste unter den Putzstielen. Viele andere Stiele haben nach den ersten paar Putzdurchgängen bereits knicke oder Totalschäden gehabt. Ganz anders jedoch bei diesem hier: auch wenn man hartnäckigere Flecken auf dem Boden entfernen will und dafür mehr Druck als üblich aufbringen muss - der Stiel hält! Gewöhnungsbedürftig für mich als Gelegenheitputzer sowie meine Frau als routinierte Hausfrau war das Verbindungsstück von Mop zum Stiel. Dieses lässt sich nur nach links und rechts knicken und geht nicht so locker flockig von der Hand, wie bei vielen anderen Systemen. Nach kurzem Eingewöhnen war diese Hürde jedoch kein Problem mehr und das Reinigen der Fußböden ging schnell, einfach und sauber. Da wir 2 große Hunde (Bernhardiner und Berner Sennen) sowie 2 Langhaarkatzen (türkisch Angora) haben, ist unser Fußboden immer voll mit Haaren - einige davon gehen natürlich auch nicht beim vorherigen Staubsaugen weg. Der Vileda Easy Wring nimmt die restlichen Haare problemlos auf und gibt sie auch zum Großteil beim Schleudern wieder ab - jedoch nicht alle. Hin und wieder setzen sich Haarbüschel im Mobgeflecht fest, sodass diese per Hand entfernt werden müssen. Vergleichbare Produkte sind aber auch in dieser Disziplin nicht wirklich besser oder schlechter. Alle weiteren Dreckpartikel werden im großen und ganzen aber fein säuberlich durch die Rotation in den Eimer befördert, sodass man direkt im Anschluss mit einem "sauberen" Mop weiter wischen kann. Etwas Übung benötigt der Mechanismus allerdings, da man erst ein Gefühl dafür bekommen muss, wann genug oder wann zu wenig "geschleudert" wurde. Übrigens: Unser Mop hält eine Wäsche in der Waschmaschine problemlos aus. Ob dies erwähnenswert ist, oder bei jedem Mop so ist (quasi Stand der Technik ?), kann ich allerdings nicht sagen, da ich dafür einfach zu wenig Hausmann bin. Ich habe mit mir gehadert, ob ich nun 4 oder 5 Sterne geben sollte. Aber ich denke, alles andere als 5 Sterne ist nicht gerechtfertigt, da man sich an fast jedes neue Produkt erst gewöhnen muss und wir bezüglich des Schmutzes (Stichwort Tierhaare) hier ja doch härtere Bedingungen vorliegen haben.

good product

Excellent cleaning with this mop. Read instructions on how to extend the handle and make it stay. At first, I thought it was just for short people. Afterwards, I realized you have to twist it to keep it extended. Duh! Anyways, I’ve replaced my electric steam mop with this mop/bucket, as the steam mop wasn’t reliable.

Sturdy and reliable
