Much Better Than My Old "Mop"

June 11, 2017

My Amazon review for my new O-Cedar Easy-Wring Microfiber mop:

I need to qualify my review to disclose that I am blessed to be in a position to pay someone else to mop my floors. She couldn't make it over a few weeks ago (I think she's in her 70s so quite frankly I'm surprised she still comes at all) so I attempted to mop the floor myself. In my (i.e., her) utility closet I found a mop pole with a sponge tied on to it with a couple of rolled up plastic bags. Literally. I can't tell if this is what she has been using this whole time but considering that I don't remember EVER buying a mop, much less a replacement head for it, there is no other less mortifying reality. I used it, had to repeatedly adjust the sponge and plastic bag rope, did a horrible job, dropped it on the floor and jumped online to order this mop ASAP. So my disclosure is that I'd be giving five stars to literally anything better than a sponge on a stick.

I just used this O-Cedar for the first time. Loved it. Assembled quickly and easily. Uses salad-spinner technology with a foot pedal. Genius! The dampness is customizable (step on the gas for dryer sponge.) Again, I'm hardly a mop expert but it appears to me that keeping the mop head (if that's what you even call it) only lightly damp allows you to exert more pressure to pick up more stubborn grime without creating puddles. Plus the floor dries faster. Then to take off mop head, simply stand on some strands and lift handle up and the head pops right off. Machine washable but lay out to dry (although I haven't done that yet so can't comment on how clean it gets.) And then there's the bonus feature of doubling as a foot-operated salad spinner.

Careful on wood floors not to go to fast or else strands bunch up into a "tail" causing you to scrape your floor when pushing forward.

My toddler daughter and grandson (don't ask) were so bewildered at Mom/Grandma doing so much manual labor that they were genuinely curious. They literally fought over the mop and took turns mopping. This, needless to say, is a testament to how easy the mop is to use (and how bad of a mother/grandmother I am.)

My cleaning lady came back last week and I hugged her and gave her a raise. Although now having tried the O-Cedar Easy-Wring Microfiber Mop I am considering letting my cleaning lady finally retire so I may capitalize on this free child labor. I will definitely be looking into other O-Cedar products to get for their respective birthdays.

Updated review DO NOT BUY!!!

July 9, 2017

UPDATED: DO NOT BUY!!! here is what I wrote just a few days ago "almost 5 stars....much better than I expected after reading all the negative reviews. the only thing I would change is the amount of fiber....otherwise, happy with the purchase". However, a few days later the spinner stopped working. My husband (who is very handy) opened the bucket's spinning system and found a broken item that allows spinning. It's been about 40 days since the purchase so I can't return it. I used the map every other day or even less. Paying $33 for 20 uses is kinda steep. If you check the accuracy of the reviews on fakespot dot com you will see that only 80% of reviews are real. I think much less. In ant case, this O-Cedar EasyWring is cheaply made toy. NO STARS

NOT a Strong product.....

April 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

It broke right out of the box, during first use. We filled the bucket, dunked the mop, starting mopping and crack. Broken pole attachment. Really a flimsy pole, and the locking mechanism to set the length of the mop is poor as well. I would not recommend this product.

TLDR: Product is tiny and cheap. Suspect fake reviews.

September 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

4.5 stars. Nearly five thousand reviews. 30 bucks. Might as well give it a shot right? Yeah, this thing reminds me of one those toy janitor sets. It's just so small and cheap. Judging by the pictures, it looks like the mop handle is supposed to have 3 segments to extend. I was only able to extend 2. I thought about taking channel locks to the thing in order get that supposed third segment unstuck, but I figured I was going to return any way; thus, I didn't want to damage it.
Regardless, the mop head is laughably small. It has about a third of the material that you'd find on the typical household mop. Once again, I was planning on returning it, so I did not test how well the head actually cleaned; however, I remain rather skeptical.
Oh, and I'm not an expert on such things, but I suspect that the picture of the lady using the product either featured a really tiny girl, or a bit of photoshop, in order to make the product look bigger. The size difference may not be as egregious, but it reminds me of those pictures of kiddy pools you sometimes see floating around social media. You know, the one's where the box art makes the product look huge, but it's actually really tiny.
Taking a closer look at the reviews, other people seem to be complaining about the mop wringer breaking as well. All the gears for that look solid enough; so I don't know if the plastic is rather brittle, or if they thickened it up with a later revision. Regardless, plastic mechanical parts typically aren't known for having long mean times between failures, and people are reporting that it is a point of failure. So, consider it another reason to shy away from the product -especially since I could find no information about a warranty on Amazon nor O-Cedar's website.
And finally, after being surprised at how dinky the thing was, I decided to take a look at what people had actually written, and saw a review with someone mentioning "Fakespot", which is a site meant to identify fake reviews. Well hell, I've got to check this out. Looks, like old Fakespot says that the aggregate reviews have an "A" grade, but it also indicates that Amazon removed about 2,000 reviews on two separate occasions. Now, I don't know why Amazon decided to purge nearly 4k reviews, but all of this stuff makes me strongly suspect a fair bit of review astroturfing.
Needless to say, I will be returning this dinky piece of garbage. Moreover, the thing makes me think that the O-Cedar business model is all about selling garbage to consumers, and hoping that a minimal amount will be bothered to return it. Stay away from the mop. Stay away from the O-Cedar brand.

Nice concept, but didn't last

April 27, 2017

This is my second one. The first one, the foot pedal broke.
This one the bucket is leaking.
I really like the concept of how works, not that they don't last that long. My last bucket was purchased in February, lasted just two months. The return date was in March. Hope this helps someone else.

I am a professional house cleaner and I love it !!

May 3, 2018

So...I am a cleaning lady..I clean everyday of the week...I have a new client that had this mop/bucket, I was skeptical. I tried it and loved it.
Let me start with the fact that cleaning laminate Is ALWAYS an issue, There are inevitably streaks to some degree or another, and I have to make it a 2-3 step process job, after the mopping to get it clean, I then windex, bona, swifter wet or some other thing, to get the floor perfect. I can say with great pleasure that those days are over !! As for REAL hardwood, again you have to be careful, to much water sitting on the floor is never a good thing and the swifter wet jet or the bona while doing an ok job , DOES NOT get it clean.
There was a review that indicated an awkwardness due to the spin mechanism, causing it to be off balance when you lift it. While this is true, I have found that when you fill the water to the SUGGESTED water line, I have never had a spill issue. I go from room to room, upstairs and downstairs and have never spilled a drop...
The other issue stated in reviews was the durability and functionality..I have found to be false, as I said, I clean everyday and have not had any issues..Its used way more then if someone had bought it solely for their personal use alone.
I waited till I had the chance to use it often before writing this review..
In Short, whilst not getting "kick back" or commission from this company, I should considering most of my clients have purchased this for me to have in their homes. They trust my opinion in its value and its worth and It make my job so much more efficient.

Thank you O-Cedar...Nothin could be Neater !!!

Mop handle won't lock out!

April 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great idea! Used once and the handle will not lock out in the extended position. Made mopping the floor a real pain! I would send it back but that would just cost me more time and energy. Which I don't have from trying to mop the floor!
