First mop was purchased in Nov, 2015.This is a great product, with one small flaw that can easily be overcome. When moving the mop from the wash side to the spin side, lock the handle in place until the mop is fully seated in the spin basket, then unlock it again and spin it dry. Failure to do so could result in the mop not being all the way down on the key pin and starting to spin as you apply pressure to fully seat it. This will result in the eventual stripping of the key pin on the spin basket and you won't be able to properly spin the mop.We figured this out prior to stripping ours (it was just worn down some), but unfortunately my mother and my son did not know the proper technique and finished stripping it out. My mother was dubious about the mop and spin bucket when she first saw ours, but instantly loved it and I have since purchased one for her (and taught her how NOT to strip it).You might wonder why I still gave this 5 stars even after the basket was completely stripped. This is due to customer service from LINKYO. I emailed them about the problem after dismantling the bucket to see if it could be fixed. They informed me that they did not have a replacement part for the basket, but instead provided a refund (which allowed me to purchase a new one). I plan to use the new mop/bucket to attempt to make a replacement part for the stripped key pin on the old basket so as to have as a backup (or so I'll have 2 and both kids can help mop at the same time).The mop doesn't feel cheap or flimsy to me, and I'm not basing this off a comparison with a traditional wooden handle mop, but off a comparison of all the cheap flimsy swiffer sweeper type mops out there ( I have owned a few of those). This is a decently sturdy mop considering that it has a multi-piece handle that can spin. So far, I have found nothing wrong with it's design or they way it's built.I have seen the negative reviews and can say that with proper use this mop should last quite a while. I have even still have some of the weak, flimsy swiffer types because I use them within their limits and don't abuse them. Although they don't get used anymore now that we have the spin mop.  Read Less
