Tersano lotus LWM100 Wet Mop

This mop is very well designed. However, I didn't give it 5 stars because the battery compartment is not laid out well. Just about every battery powered device ever created has you install the batteries with the negative terminal end against the metal spring contacts in the battery compartment. This mop has all the spring contacts on one end of the compartment and you then alternate the batteries. Just a little weird. Other than this, it is a pretty solid mop. It is hard to push across vinyl flooring as the water doesn't provide much lubricant if you are simply using O3 water from the sanitizer. The floor does look brighter and is squeaky clean. The microfiber cloths fit well and are easy to install.

Hard to push on vinyl floors

I purchased the mop to clean laminate wood floors, but I haven't moved into the house with them yet. So, currently I'm using it on vinyl floors. It cleans well, but is hard to push across the surface and takes a lot of physical strength.

I love the lotus system, but am not totally amazed with the mop. It may be easier to pour a bowl of sanitized water into a bucket and then use a regular mop-- I haven't tried that yet.

Or, I'm just a wimp.

Serious design flaw

As a previous fan of the Wetjet, but not a fan of continually paying money for disposable pads and specific cleaning solution, I had high hopes for this mop. I hate cleaning floors, so I wanted something simple and easy. This fit the bill.

While the concept is marvelous: no wringing out dirty wet cleaning pads by hand, reusing cloth pads over throwing away paper ones, choosing your own cleaning solution, this mop has a serious flaw in its design. The battery contacts are flakey at best. The first mop I had worked for a few minutes and then quit. We following the trouble shooting tips on the website to fix the contacts with no success. I contacted the company, they said that they have seen this issue lots of times, and replaced my mop for me.

The second mop I wouldn't work at all until we placed a piece of tinfoil under the batteries to give the battery circuit some help. It works now, but for a new product, it should not need this kind of intervention to work.

happy with it

works good sprays enough water and you don't have to work your hand off: it has batterries. can be used with plain water. i rinse pads before throughing them in a washer they hold a lot of dirt. defenately get extra pads.

Simply the best mop ever!

Microfiber instead of disposable 'diapers', easy to fill non-disposable bottle and just a piece of art when it comes to design and functionality! Move over Swiffer, I'm not going to keep buying your chemicals because only your bottle fits my mop. Not only that, but with this mop I don't have to keep buying disposable pads and adding to my garbage every time I mop my floors. The lotus mop has a refillable bottle and an amazing washable microfiber cloth that fits the system! And, the best part, if you own the lotus Sanitizing System, the removable bottle fits on that base so you can charge the water and get a floor cleaning/sanitizing system that is out of this world....I'm one happy lotus'er!
