4 out of 5 stars It does a good job.   September 27, 2008
I was using a swifter but didn't like having to buy the solution. I also needed to vacuum up dog hair before washing the floor. This machine gets the dog hair out of the way and does a good enough job cleaning the floor. I use vinegar instead of a cleaning product. I have laminate, tile and hardwood to deal with. I use the brush on the ceramic tile and am pleased with how it cleans the grout. All in all this product does what it's supposed to and makes cleaning the floors much easier. I bought extra pads so I can throw one in the wash and still have a clean one available.


4 out of 5 stars Pretty good Cleaner After Accomodations Made   August 19, 2008
Like many, I was stuck with this big old cleaner that left pools of water on my floor, however I made a couple of accomodations and my floor is shining clean. The thing doesn't suck up much water for sure. That little teeny tiny cloth on the bottom is too small, so I used the larger cloths that are made for the shark steamer. I believe you can purchase them separately. They velcro right on and they make the machine much more effective. You will need a couple of them for a large area. The thing pushes much easier with this addition. I also keep a Swiffer nearby with a thick Clorox floor cleaing pad on it to dry up any remaining water that the machine won't suck up. It sounds like more work, but really very simple. The pads on the bottom were black with filth, and my laminate floors look brand new. The small bit of water that the machine did suck up was less than hald the liquid I started with and so it was filthy. I have to say that eventhough I had to make these changes, I have not found a better method of getting my floors clean. They are gleaming.


5 out of 5 stars DO YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS????   July 20, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Flip it works great, cleans the floors, does everything it is supposed to do.

I almost didn't buy it because of the bad ratings. Most people are idiots and do not read the instructions. If you empty both chambers when you are finished cleaning -<<>>- there is nothing to leak! If it takes you hours to mop a floor, and you let flip it sit by while you answer the phone, cook, and walk the dog, you will get leaks!

Fill it up, use it, empty it when done - PERFECT TOOL!!! No hassles at ALL. Even the vacuum works well, and I have a Dyson, so I know a good tool when I see one.

Negative ratings are all from fools who didnt read the instructions and/or cant start a job and finish it WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS.


3 out of 5 stars No vacuum/mop replacement, but does serve a purpose.   July 13, 2008
First off the dry vacuum side is pretty much useless. This thing is kinda heavy and loud and using a broom is just easier...way less work.

Secondly, it doesn't do a good job with a dirty floor. Any little drips or dirty foot/paw prints that have dried don't come up easily. It can't really do anything that needs scrubbing or anything where you would push the mop down harder.

Finally, you do have to rinse out the nasty dirty water tank and the little filter and fill up the clean tank. Sounds easy but you've got about four parts you're washing in the sink. It's not something you just whip out and start cleaning with.

With all that said, here's how I use it. Sweep the floor best you can with a broom. Get out a mop and bucket (or just use the sink if it's nearby) and mop the floor. Do fairly sloppy and wet once over on the floor and scrub the tough spots. Then go over the floor with this thing. The squeegee and vacuum will get up all the dirty water and any leftover dirt or pet hair that you can just never get with the broom plus it helps dry the floor much quicker. It's also good at spot jobs where dirt/food/beverages are still wet.

So it doesn't really replace any steps, but it makes sweeping and mopping a little easier by adding a step to the end. I'm glad I have it, but next time, I'll probably look for something with rotating brushes or steam and no dry vacuum side.


2 out of 5 stars My arm is numb after using this!!   July 8, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I just got a portion of my house tiled aside from what was already tiled. I HATE to mop, hate it with a passion! So I figured this product would be a Godsend! Boy couldn't I have been any more wrong!

My friend has this exact model, I asked her if I could borrow it before I borrowed it. She told me that I would hate it, but brought it over anyway. Now I understand why none of our local stores (Target, Walmart, etc.) don't carry any of the Bissell flip it models, it's a POS!!!

Like a previous poster said, it pushes lint, dust and hair away, but at least it rolls smoothly over the tile and eventually picks it up once you have it against a wall. Now the dry side, my arm is numb from pushing this around, I can barely type this. It was so hard to push and pull it and this is tile, one would think it would glide across. I didn't think I was going to be able to finish up the job.

As much as I hate mopping, at least I'm not drenched in sweat along with a numb arm when I'm finished mopping. I might try the Hoover Hard floor cleaner. At least I can thank my lucky stars that I did not waste my money on this horrible product!

I gave it 2 stars because the dirty water did come out black, so I guess it at least cleaned, it was just way harder than it had to be.
