Does anyone else find this mop quite hard to push?

Yes! I just tried mine out last night, and I was surprised at how tough it is to push. I thought it did a pretty good job, but the jury is still out on whether or not I will keep it.

Yes, it is difficult to push. I bought the original Smart Living Steam Mop at a fair several years ago and loved it. It lasted over seven years. This is NOT the same product at all. It generates much less steam - and the pads don't glide well on the floor because they are thinner than the originals. When you remove after use, they are not evenly soiled. There are "strips" of soiled areas and it's obvious that some areas never touched the floor. I am very disappointed in this steam mop....seems as if it might be a knock off.

Mine is sometimes hard to push. Holding the handle at a lower angle to push it helps. Putting a new cleaner clothe (or whatever they call it) on helps also. I don't find it a big problem. I guess I have strong arms. I like my mop. Hope this helps.

YES!!! I think it is very difficult to push. I agree it does have strips of soiled areas. I am not sold on it yet. I think it cleaned well, but it wasn't as easy as they made it look at the demonstration. kind of disappointed

Hi there, No that is not normal which is why I wrote a review and provide a less than stellar score. This mop does not pick up dust and hair the way that one would believe it should. I have used this mom wrt and dry; the same outcome.

Yes, If it does not lock or stayed lock, you may have a faulty handle. Please contact us (if you purchased from us) - Or the distributor that sold you the mop and they will warranty replace it.

It is not difficult at all. It works like every other mop. It can be unscrewed and I saw refills at Target for example. It can be washed in the washer. The only thing I don't like about it..it gets tangled really easily :( and that can be annoying. I would not buy the same thing again. I hope this helps :)

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.

Mine sprays consistently, constantly. I love my Bona mop. In fact, I have two, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Maybe you got a clunker. Customer service is awesome from what I hear. The company would want to make it right with you.

Not without a lot of elbow grease. I really like the job the mop does. It really is a no brainer, but you really have to pay attention and go over certain areas a number of times. I would give this mop a 5 stars all the time. I don't feel like I'm pushing dirt around like with a conventional mop.

Suzanne, I am having the same difficulties with this vacuum. I usually cannot get it open to take out the dirt and dog hair, so I end up pulling it out with my fingers - YUK! I finally was able to get the entire thing apart to wash it all and there is debris behind the screen that I have no idea how to get out, so I just kept forcing water through it...very frustrating. I am sorry that I bought this vacuum. It was a lot of hype over nothing.

I find it a real problem to change mop heads and the spinner seeems to lift half of the mop out of the bucket. It doesnt spin as easily as it shows on TV. I'm discusted.

No -- the handle moves from side to side, so it's very awkward to push. Pulling is VERY easy.

I don't use this mop very often. I'm not convinced that it does a really good cleaning job. Two things I do when I use it: distilled water in the reservoir and get the pad very damp before I start the process.

not really a lot of pressure but you have to hold the button in while you're cleaning. that might be problematic for you

That rubber addition was a great answer although I haven't attached the grips yet. It doesn't like being too wet as the wet mop creates drag on the machine and then causes traction problems for the wheels on the wet floor. Slight dampness works well and is adequate. Make sure to clip in the mop tightly as a loose mop also creates drag.

You are probably filling it too tight, I have noticed when I do, the handle gets very hard to push-pull. I have only had to clean out mine once, cause of this and try not to fill it too tight. Try this and see if it works better for you. Also after every use I lift a corner of the mat and empty the dust and particles that collect there.

I gave up trying to find one. I ordered another but it was entirely different handle and a different mop. Too bad they make such a cheap handle when the mop works so well. Good luck in you finding one.

Not very hard at all. The back holds tissue as well as wet ones with out a lot of effort, you just kind of wrap it around the front. To push the top button too much because that's what breaks the most on the handle. Any movement side to side with the top button is what's breaks. Pushing it in to release is no problem. There are instructions with photos that comes with the wand.

No! It is made of a sturdy metal, and it is strong. You will be pleased with this commercial grade mop!
