Bissell Flip-Ease All in One Vacum and Mop
The vacum works just fine; however, as a mop, it drags especially for the elderly with no much strnght in their arms.


Greatest product since presliced ham!
I would like to state first that the Bissell solution that comes with it smells like a gingerly frolic through a citrus orchard, but works like grandmas old school mop that leaves streaks and spots. That out of the way, this product is AWESOME. We have wood floors and tile floors and this thing works "GRRRRRRRRRRREAT!" (that's a quote from Tony the Tiger) We have two toddlers that throw their food on the ground when they are done eating. This vacuums up on one side and then mops it up on the other. I have found that the 4 dollar gallon sized hard floor cleaning solution from Sam's Club (Proforce brand and pink in color) is the best solution ever. I use 1 teaspoon (not table spoon) per filling of the container and it dries fast with no streaks.

On another note the thing holds a good charge as we leave it off the charger for days at a time and it still works. You can't vacuum and spray solution at the same time, but who would?????

The unit is durable, one of our toddlers knocked it over 5 times a day for almost a year before it got a leak in the tank. I called them and it only cost 3 or 4 dollars to get a new tank. They sent a new one fast and were courteous.

My wife wanted to add the following:

Don't let your toddler play with it.
The end.


Works great
This is a good product for I want it for, which is a quick pick up for dog hair, crumbs, etc. I would recommend buying an extra set of the cleaning pads, as the pad does get dirty when using the vacuum side, and it is nice to change the pad to use the mop side. It does sometimes drip a few drips of liquid out, but it is really not much, and not a big deal at all. I would buy this again.


Mother's Little Helper
I love this Bissell's Flip-Ease! I have to admit that I was a little worried about pushing a machine around since I have back, neck, and shoulder problems, but this is very lightweight and just glides across the floor. The vacuum is incredible! It sucks up everything in its path - dust, dirt, cat hair, and even pine needles. This product does exactly what it promises. My only tiny complaint is that the red light never changes to indicate it's fully charged. After letting it charge, however,it held the charge for three days. This is the best purchase for household cleaning products that I've made in a very long time. Two thumbs up!


Great!
I have two babies who are extremely messy! I use this product every day on my ceramic floors (often more than once). It's so easy and affordable. My mom came to visit and she left saying "Where can I buy one of those" (not kidding).

It's not meant to suction up the water + cleaner expressed, but the pad soaks this up as you go over it and dries fast as a result. It actually dries faster than our standard mop(which is great when my son is whining to be let out of his high chair to crawl around on the floor).

Great product-I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

One more point . . . I used to own the swiffer wet jet, but found it cost too much to keep replacing the pads and use the cleaner fluid. This is cheaper (and I just use the hard wood floor cleaner we have on hand).
