Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I recently got this Leifheit mop and contrary to the 1-star reviewer I quite like it. I did not find it hard to put together (you screw together the individual parts of the handle and insert the mop part, really not too challenging). I also think the bucket as well as the mop are of regular size. The reason it might seem to be smaller is that it has this insert in the bucket to spin the mop to the desired level of dryness but that's all. The mop is not huge, that is true, but it is of regular size and suitable for normal mopping jobs. If you happen to live in a mansion with a hotel-size entrance hall, you might want to get a different product as that would seem daunting but if you do not, this is not too small in my opinion and sufficient for normal-size kitchens and bathrooms.
I love the spinning/drying action of this product. All you do is soak the mop in the bucket and then put the mop head in the 'centrifuge' or spinner, press down on the handle, and voila, the mop head starts spinning and excess water is removed. I am not quite sure how it works, I am not a technical person (there are no batteries involved, and it seems a bit like a spin top toy), but in the end all I care about is that I do not have to wring this out manually but can just let this mechanism do the job, which gets the mop much drier anyway than I ever could with wringing it. Also, I've had occasional issues with painful thumbs and wrists (from typing), and so this works especially well in these circumstances as I do not have to twist my wrists/thumbs.
The only thing that I miss a bit is an actual bucket handle. The manufacturer states that you should grab the bucket on the inside of the spin insert, but I am just not too sure how well this will work in the long run, especially when the bucket is full and heavy. So far it has worked ok but then again I have not had the mop long enough to know how the plastic would hold up after months or years of doing so. (UPDATE 11/2010: I have now carried the bucket by holding onto the spin insert since buying this 11 months ago and have not had any issues, so I guess it works fine, even without a traditional handle).
All in all, I like its convenience a lot and am thinking of buying another one for my upstairs.

The Leifheit twister mopset is the ultimate way to clean the floors of your home. Based on the principle of centrifugal force-with rotation of the mop, water and dirt are forced outward, away from the center of rotation. The more you twist, the drier the mop becomes-you can have complete control on how wet or dry the mop should be for your cleaning job. The set includes the twister system bucket which keep water and dirt from spinning outside the bucket-keeping your clean up jobs cleaner. Tough on dirt, not on you. This mop wrings out with minimal effort. Treat yourself or someone you know with the advanced cleaning system of the twister mopby Leifheit. You'll be glad you did.
