Does this mop handle come in 2 pieces that have to be connected for use or is the handle one long piece? I have recently seen both in stores.

Comes in two pieces. The problem with this mop is the trigger mechanism breaks. We have had three of these.

Yes it does seperate. In fact, it seperates quite easily of its own accord which is the weakest part of its design. This is not a very good mop bucket and we have since replaced it with a much better design purchased at Cash and Carry; I can't remember the brand. Hope this helps.

This model comes with one mop head... there are two different sides to the mop head (traditional mop and a scrubby texture). The mop head is reversable and allows for easy access to both sides during use.

Yes, the handle is in one piece. Very nice quality and looks great in the kitchen.

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. The secret of keeping mop together is where you hold the mop. YOu must hold it on the little sliding plastic piece in the middle of the mop handle, so as not to unscrew it.

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.

The mop does not come with a handle. If you already use Shurhold deck brushes then you already have a handle to use with the mop, otherwise you will need to purchase a handle of desired length.

I could not find just the mop handle anywhere, but you can buy the mop handle w/mop head from their website. The heads hold up pretty good and you can get replacement heads at Amazon (cheaper by a long shot). I change mine every coupe of months. Although I do wash them, they don't soak up liquids as well after a while.

No mop handle included. Very diasppointing. It needs a handle that it can click onto.

Is this the only new mop head you have? Do you have others that do screw in ? If it is a replacement mop head you may have cross threaded it the first time you tried to screw it on. You could have a defective new mop head or the handle itself.

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.

Honestly; I cant say. I returned my mop the day after i purchased it. I didn't feel it picked up the hair and dust as it should. On top of that; my handle would not go together properly. I don't recommend this item.

The mop head snaps on and off easily. You can remove it by hand or you can step on one side of the strings and pull up on the handle.

You can order the Bona Microfiber Floor Mop from Amazon. It comes with the microfiber cleaning pad and the dust pad. They work very well. The handle is telescoping, and it is stronger than a different non-telescoping Bona mop handle that can also be bought. Alternatively, there are other mop handles that have the velcro type attachment which is what you need to hold the microfiber applicator to the mop.

There are two screw locks on the handle. One is a screw on the end of the handle, and the other is an internally threaded collar that slides up and down the handle. The first thing you do is push the handle hard into the mop head, and turn it clockwise to tighten it into the broom head. It CAN be slightly difficult to push it into the broom head, because there are some bumps on the handle that have to be pushed into the broom head pretty hard - they kind of "snap" into the head and then you can tighten it. After the handle is screwed into the head, you slide the collar down onto the broom head and tighten that. The collar prevents the handle from twisting out of the head.

The handle is the same for both sides, to my memory. You get one handle, not two. Note: To to Youtube to learn how to install this handle. It wasn't too bad a job. - Ken W in Portland OR
