Has anyone had the circular middle plastic piece that attaches the handle to the mop break off? If yes, did you fix it?

Mine came off once, but I was able to just snap it back on and it's stayed on since then. Hoe this helps.

I have used my mop about 6 times and a big chunk is out of the sponge part. I still think it is a great mop; mostly for the brush that sticks out in the front for scrapping hard stuck on spots off the floor. I bought a replacement sponge ( not that expensive) and will replace the original one soon. I also like how long the broom handle is as I am tall with long arms and it handles well for me. I only use my broom on smooth wood floors.

just pull up the plastic flat head that sites on the mop-it will snap off-you have to use your fingersi put it in with my towels but i dont dry itwhen you put the clean mop head back on-just sit it on the floor--position the flat plastic on top and step on the cover platesnaps back on

I would try contacting the company directly. Did you try super gluing the handle back together?

No, I haven't. I did replace the plastic knobs on the side that hold the handle in place.Apparently a common occurrence...

Just step on the mop fiber close to the plastic head and bend the handle to the left or right. Google Dyno mop and scroll down to see a demo. :)

I keep looking at this connection and I'm really not quite sure. My connector part is two pieces of plastic on either side of the metal "hook" (for lack of better word) and then that piece screws onto the wooden handle. After checking really close I do think that your clip on just might work. I would TRY IT because if you have anything other than this piece of plastic you are way ahead!! This is my third wool dry mop and my only complaint is that piece of plastic which always breaks and therefore requiring a whole new mop.

I had this problem too. lol. Be sure that you are holding the handle at the grip part. In this picture, its the middle part of the handle that is colored red. If you hold it anywhere else, the handle and the mop head will come apart., Try it. I hope I described it correctly, if not get back to me. Youre gonna love this mop

Overall I think it is great - the cord length, the length of time the steam last before water change...the steam is really hot and cleans really well - my only gripe is this is the third time we've had to replace the main mop head attachment. They need to modify their design so it does not break so easily. Oreck replaced the head once under warranty and the second time they wanted us to bring it in to a shop. Since my wife didnt want to do without the mop I just ordered another one - we figured $37 for the part plus shipping was better than doing without it. And guess what - the part is on back order. If it breaks again we're going to find a different mop and will not purchase an Oreck.

You should call the company to get one. I broke my handle (by dropping) they sent me a new one right away.

I have not had that problem, however the company was very accommodating when my handle broke--they did send a new one free of charge.best of luck.

It is super easy to replace the mop head! I take it off and wash it every time I use the mop (I've had it for about 4 years), and it's the same process with a new mop head. Here's a description of the process: There is a plastic (but not flimsy) clip at the end of the pole holding the mop head to the pole; I pull out the clip and then slide the mop head off the pole. To wash it, I also remove the plastic shaft that comes inserted through the center of the mop head. It just goes down into the middle of the mop and then I pull it out between the strings. Then I can wash the mop head and put it all back together easily, the same way. You have to make sure to pull the shaft all the way to the top of the mop head, though, usually by pushing the mop down while pulling the shaft until the mop head is secure. As a note, the shaft is a little flimsy--plenty sturdy for me, but my husband cracked one of the little pieces on the shaft when he was using it. I'm not sure how, but I haven't had any problems.

I have the same issue. I use one cup more than the other 3 and after one month of usage the metal handle popped off. I tried to put it back but it would not stay on. I'm trying to contact the seller but I don't know how to?

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

I had the same problem. I tried to remove it as they showed in the commercial but I ended up breaking it. :-( Too bad because this really is the best mop I have ever used. Very easy to use.

It does have the 2 plastic sections. But ... The holes did not match the screws on my (older) mop (same Quickie brand!). They were too close together. I'm sorry, but I threw away the mop head (and my old mop) in frustration, so I can't tell you exactly how far apart they are. You might add to this question how far apart the screws on your mop are.
