Customer Reviews

Great floor maintanance tool
I recently purchased this for cleaning the tile and grout lines in my house. Roughly 80 percent of my house is tile, and it was pretty dirty. This machine did an excellent job cleaning the tile surface but it could not deep clean the grout as I was hoping. If you have extrememly dirty grout you will still need to scrub it by hand. Once you performed the initial cleaning though, this machine will maintain the tile and grout great. I am so glad I bought this. I had a party last night, and this machine made cleaning up dirt and spilled alcohol easy and fast.

Great little machine!
I just bought the WidePath SpinScrub yesterday, and I love it so far! It is relatively light-weight, easy to use, and does a great job cleaning. The dry vacuum setting does as good a job at picking up stuff as my regular vacuum does. Although it is a bit difficult to push when on the wet setting, as long as you don't rush the job and take your time, it gets the job done. You don't even need to use the dry option because it sucks most of the water up. My ceramic tile floors are dry after about 5 minutes.
One important note...When I first assembled the machine yesterday and used it, after a few minutes it was shutting itself off like a previous reviewer mentioned. It kept turning itself on and off and I was so frustrated! I put it away and took a fresh look at it this morning. What I discovered is that the handle was not fully locked into place. (Even though I swear it locked into place when I first assembled it!) Once the handle was locked into place (again), it worked perfectly!

good tool, with some draw backs
The cleaner is quite useful for cleaning tiles, but with some draw backs:
1. heavy, become even tougher to move around when vacuum is on.
2. never lay it down when there is dirty water captured from the vacuum in the receiving compartment. Otherwise dirty water will leak out from the back of the compartment and spill all over. This is a design error.
