I hesitated between this one and his brother rectangular brush that I tested in my beautiful mother. I do not regret my choice. I use the steam mop for a long time I am very happy but it does not rub out the complaints and do not go anywhere. I completed with a simple mop but it is demanding, especially stooping. The only downside for me is the size of the bucket ..... that's all. The package comes with spare parts for the broom with photos and instructions on the cardboard, for busy like me who want to try. The broom is metallic and telescopic; the mop snaps easily. The bucket is already equipped and pedal sounds really solid. In short, a breeze to prepare. Because I wanted to try immediately: I filled the bucket until the MAX label. I can not find it heavy and unbalanced. Now I prefer less complete and change the water several times, the blade is light and very maneuverable, the mop looks solid, well all happening and above all it keeps the dirt. I immediately ordered a 2nd to get one in advance. In short, if you feel like it, please, this is a solid and functional broom.
