Bissell SpinWave Cordless Pet Hard Floor Mop Cleaner 23157 review for pet owners

Description

Effortless Cleaning with the BISSELL® SpinWave Cordless PET Hard Floor Spin Mop

Gone are the days of bending over with a traditional mop and bucket. Testing the BISSELL® SpinWave Cordless PET Hard Floor Spin Mop (Model 23157) was a game-changer for me, especially as someone with pets who seem to delight in creating messes. Its cordless design and powerful spinning mop pads promised to make cleaning simpler, and honestly, it delivered on most fronts.

Design That Fits Into Daily Life

The first thing I noticed was its lightweight and sleek design, weighing just 8 ounces. Its low-profile swivel head is a blessing when navigating under furniture or around tricky edges. The violet, green, and silver color scheme adds a nice aesthetic touch, though that’s hardly the main selling point. I appreciated how the 14-inch cleaning path width made it possible to cover more ground in less time, meaning fewer awkward maneuvers in tight spaces.

It also includes four washable mop pads, which feel sturdy and durable. They’re easy to attach and remove, and the fact they’re reusable is a huge plus for anyone trying to reduce waste.

Performance That Delivers on Hard Floors

This mop is safe for all sealed hard floors, including wood, tile, linoleum, and vinyl. Testing this on my hardwood floors was satisfying; the mop glided effortlessly, leaving behind a noticeable shine. The on-demand spray feature was particularly helpful for tackling sticky pet messes. With a press of a button, the mop dispenses cleaning solution exactly where needed, ensuring that no area is over-saturated.

The 18V lithium-ion battery provided 20 minutes of runtime, which was just enough to clean the main rooms in my home. The battery took about four hours to fully charge, so planning ahead was essential if I wanted to do a second round of cleaning later.

Key Benefits

• Cordless design gives unmatched freedom of movement.
• Safe for a variety of sealed hard floors, making it versatile for different homes.
• Includes four reusable mop pads, which save money over time.
• Swivel head makes cleaning around furniture and baseboards simple.

Areas for Improvement

Despite its many strengths, there are a few less favorable aspects worth noting:

• The 20-minute runtime isn’t ideal for larger spaces, as it required recharging before tackling another room.
• While the on-demand spray function works well, the included cleaning solution isn’t sufficient for extended use. Purchasing extra cleaning formulas is necessary.
• The noise level of 78 dB could be quieter, especially for those who clean while others are home.

Competing Products

Compared to similar products like the Shark Steam Mop or Bona Hard Floor Spray Mop, the BISSELL SpinWave Cordless PET stands out for its cordless functionality and spinning mop pads. However, the Shark Steam Mop offers a deeper clean with steam, which might be better for sanitizing surfaces. On the other hand, the Bona Mop’s refillable spray bottle and microfiber pads are more budget-friendly for those not needing cordless convenience.

Where the SpinWave excels is its ability to combine ease of use with effective cleaning for pet owners. The on-demand spray feature and washable pads are significant advantages over competitors, particularly when dealing with pet-related messes.

Worth Every Penny?

The price performance of this product is solid for what it offers. While the 20-minute runtime could be limiting for larger homes, it’s perfectly adequate for smaller spaces or touch-ups. The inclusion of reusable pads and the cordless convenience make it a worthy investment for pet owners or those looking for a hassle-free cleaning solution.

Testing this product felt like upgrading my cleaning routine, and though not perfect, it’s undoubtedly a reliable tool for maintaining shiny, mess-free hard floors.
