The quality of the mop is very high.It feels well built and designed very well.The sponge is not very good,it holds up well but it is not absorbent it just kind of spreads the liquid around.They should offer a mop head with a standard nitrocellulose mop head.I had a rubbermaid mop that was a copy of this mop and it was even more expensive but it was a piece of junk.They did a horrible job copying the cassabela mop,it does not squeeze well and the mop head falls off constantly.It was not a usable mop but it did have a good mop head.Very absorbent and wicked up the mesh very well.Would like that mop head on this mop then it would be a perfect mop.After owning the Rubbermaid Commercial Cellulose Sponge Mop (FG643500BRNZ) it is a complete joy to use the cassabella mop.This mop just has a very precise high quality feel to it.The head never falls off and it squeezes the mop head very well,the rollers are rigid and dont flex the the Rubbermaid does.

this is a great mop. i've been looking for a good mop for a long time. i've tried a lot of different brands and models from department and home improvement stores. they were all cheap and badly made. after finishing my mopping last weekend with a string mop that was leaving bits of wet, nasty string all over the place (which replaced the sponge mop where the sponge randomly popped off the head mid-mop), i hopped onto amazon to find a replacement and ordered the casabella original before the floors had dried. after one use, i'm really pleased. the cellulose sponge head is scrubby and has good friction for getting dirt out of textured vinyl floor. it skims nicely across hardwood. the rollers get out a lot of water so the floor isn't a sea of mop water for hours when you're done. it's more of a pleasantly damp mop than a wet mop. the hardware is strong and appears to be well made. my one complaint is that the mop head is quite wide and stiff, so it's quite difficult to get into tight corners. i maneuvered as best as i could and i will make sure that i spend extra time on those corners when i do my monthly steam clean.
whatever mop you're currently using is probably not as good as this one, so do the upgrade. it's an excellent mop.

Even though I had to fiddle with it to get it attached, it still worked. (The design of the attachment mechanism has changed from the design I originally purchased.)

Perfect replacement refill for an old mop that I use: It's simple, functional, and does the job!

This sponge mop is great. It is made in Italy. It has a streamlined and simple design that makes it user friendly and easy to maneuver. The sponge head absorbs a lot of soapy water and cleans a wide area. You just pull down a simple lever beneath it to rinse out the sponge. It is made completely of solid high quality metal - nothing that might rattle, fall off, or make it more difficult to use. No unnecessary bells and whistles, just an excellent high quality sponge mop.
