Leifheit Picobello M Floor Mop - Micro Duo, 33 cm

I really love the Leifheit Floor Wiper Mop Picobello M Micro Duo. It’s so easy to use and the quality is fantastic. The built-in feature to squeeze out water after rinsing is a total game-changer—no messy hands! The microfiber cleaning head works brilliantly on my floors and is super easy to wash, which is a big plus.However, I’ve noticed that the mop pole is starting to rust slightly where it connects to the plastic head. It’s a bit disappointing for such a high-quality product, but it hasn’t affected its performance so far. Overall, the best mop I’ve had!

Used this for years and years = never fails to disappoint.

This mop is very good if you have a large expanse of floor to wash. This has it downside – it requires an equally large bucket! It gives an effective clean – giving close contact with the floor surface (unlike loose mops). The squeeze mechanism is easy to use – it bends the 2 sides of the mop head together to squeeze out the water. It can be used wet or damp (for laminate floors).

Easy to manoeuvre around corners and furniture. Good absorbency so floor dries quickly

This is the bigger size mop much better than the smaller one

Leaves the floor very wet but cleans floor. Had to use a dry mop after it. I would be frightened of falling on tiles.

The concept of this floor wiper works better than the reality.For starters, it's probably better to pair this with Leifheit's bucket. I used the one I already had for my existing floor wiper and it's slightly awkward to fit in. However, the length of the wiper plus its shape does mean you get great, even coverage of the floor with your strokes (something that's more inconsistent when you use a mop).However, the key selling point of this wiper, namely the press mechanism, annoyed me - it's stiff, and this stiffness doesn't get better with continued use. So it's basically impossible for people with arthritis or other weakness/pain issues in their hands to use. I do not have either of these issues, but still had to do a lot of awkward holding and shoulder tensing to get the necessary power to close and open the wiper. Also, when you open the wiper back up, it seems to be impossible to do so with a smooth motion, so you WILL end up flinging drops of water everywhere.The pad is pretty easy to remove and re-attach, and washes well. Ultimately, I will continue to use this wiper, but not with any great enthusiasm - there must be better ones out there.

I have to say after my initial glowing review this item has now broken. I might add after not too much use. The design at first does appear brilliant but there is a fundamental flaw in that the push down wringer hinges on a ridiculous self-tapping screw that screws into the metal pole, which, as one might expect pretty soon starts, to more space for itself. Then the wringer cannot be dropped or retracted. Very, very poor.
