1. In the bucket, the system is designed so that you as I see it, the cloth is not absolutely can press it, but this only to a certain point is possible by a mechanical lock. This can only be limited press out water. But it is to clean perfectly adequate.
2. As I see it, the mechanical joints at the top of the style all made of plastic. Initially looked that me anything but robust and durable. But that's more idea than certainty. As long as the part can actually serve you well to me, will still turn out.
Bottom line, a very practical system. I had previously temporarily have to clean with a mop and another wet mop that had to be squeezed out by hand. Since the present wiper system's already a fair bit easier to handle.
