Tools and Hardware Reviews of MysticMaid G3101MM MysticMop Microfiber Mop and Mop Pad
Customer Review: Great Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
The MysticMaid mop really works. I read and believed the reviews and glad I purchased it. I even wipe my glass shower doors with it (with a little spray of soapy water), no streaks!Customer Review: Great at cleaning but...
Summary: 4 Stars
This mop is great and fast at cleaning. I have just one negative comment. You cannot wring out this mop while it is on the handle. You have to take it off first, then rinse it, wring it out and put it back on the applicator. I didn't realize this at first and I ended up with a floor that was too wet and dried spotted. If there was a way to wring it out while it is on the applicator it would be the perfect mop!Customer Review: Great for tall, easily-tired people!
Summary: 5 Stars
For a mop, $30+ is pretty steep--almost too steep. But I tried Mystic Mop anyway and I'm SO glad I did! It literally takes me a third of the time--and considerably less elbow grease--to mop my floor. I tire easily due to a health condition, so finding this mop was a godsend.
PROS
1. The mop-head swivels. This means I can get around chair legs and under tables without moving anything. I can also get under radiators and under my couch and dressers. Brilliant!
2. There's no bucket to drag around / refill
3. There's no squeegeeing / wringing out. If you only have one pad, you may want to rinse and hand-wring in the sink after two or three rooms, but this is light-duty wringing--nothing like dealing with a traditional cotton mop. Since I don't want to deal with this, I bought a couple of extra pads and just cycle them through the wash.
3. The mop is feather light, and cuts through gunk with hardly any pushing down or scrubbing. This allows me to mop in a more comfortable position (think pretend-microphone!) when I tire of the standard one, and doesn't leave me exhausted.
4. The handle is AWESOME. Very sturdy, despite being both ultra-light and extra-long. I'm tall (5'10"), so this was key! You can adjust the handle with a twist, and re-tighten it with another twist. Another reviewer had a problem with the handle collapsing when she applied pressure, but I didn't have this problem (maybe she didn't tighten it enough?). I think the mop would be long enough for even taller people than me, maybe up to 6'5" even!
5. The mop collapses and hides away better than other mops
6. Eco-friendly--no harsh cleaners, and no throw-away wipes like with Swiffer, etc.
7. Versatile: can be used dry for dusting or wet for mopping. Also good for windows, supposedly (I haven't tried that yet).
8. It leaves my floors SPOTLESS. Despite using nothing but water, my floors feel and look cleaner than ever!
CONS
1. Price. Even Amazon's price (currently $33) for this mop is triple the price of other mops. In addition, if you really want convenience, you have to spring for extra pads, adding $20-$30 to the price of the mop itself! TOO much for a mop (grumble, grumble)...except that for me, it was worth it. (HINT: I got my pads 50% cheaper at a certain auction site. The guy's shipping price was ultra-low, too--under $2!)
2. You're not supposed to use bleach on the pads. This is inconvenient, because the pads get very dirty and it makes you want to disinfect them. Also, I'm unwilling to wash them with my clothes unless there's bleach in the water. This means I have to do a load just for mystic mop. Also, the pads don't get white when you wash them in the washing machine without bleach. They come out gray, which makes you wonder how clean they are. They do come out white when you wash them in the sink with bar soap, but that's too inconvenient for me...
All-in-all, I'm thrilled with this mop. I will probably end up taking my chances and just using a little bleach in the water (at least enough to disinfect--only takes 1/4 cup) when I do my bathmats. It was between the Mystic Mop and the Enviroclean floor steamer. I have no doubt I made the right choice!
Customer Review: Great mop head, cheap handle
Summary: 3 Stars
The mop head on this mop is really great. It attaches easily to the unit and stays attached, and it does its intended job effortlessly.
However, the handle is a piece of junk. Seriously. For $30+ dollars, I expected something with a little heft. This thing is tin-can light. I could probably overlook that were it not for two other issues - the telescopic feature and the handle design. The handle on this is straight, just like the picture, and this is just not a comfortable design for a mop. My previous mop had an ergonomic handle and was by far more comfortable to use - unfortunately I didn't realize this would be a big deal or I probably would have skipped the Mystic Mop. Regarding the telescopic feature, yes it's a nice feature, but the problem is it doesn't stay locked in place when I apply a bit of pressure to the unit to loosen something that is dried/gunked on the floor, it folds back into itself, and then I have to re-adjust it. I don't have to apply pressure to the unit often, so this a minor annoyance, but it is an annoyance nonetheless.
I debated between 3 and 4 stars on the Mystic Mop. The actual mop pad really is top-notch, but the handle is not up to par at this price point, so I'm going with 3 stars.
Customer Review: Great mop to help save the environment!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love that I don't need a cleaner with this mop, just water! Add to that no disposable items to go into a landfill like with the Swiffer or Clorox ReadyMop. This mop gets 5 big stars from me and I'm recommending it to everyone I know. Seriously, just water and my floors are clean. I'm amazed how much dirt and dust it picked up...everything my old mop would've just pushed around and everything the broom missed. I had to rinse it twice for my kitchen floor it was cleaning so well. I love it!
