White Magic Microfibre Spin Mop

Not Worth the Premium Price – Purchased the hand driven spin mop/bucket and paid the extra for the supposedly matching bucket trolley. First up the white bucket does not have a lip to engage on the recessed groove on the trolley front so the bucket does not lock to the trolley. I put some self tappers into the trolley so you got some connection and were able to drag the bucket and actually have it stay on the trolley.

The mop handle only worked well for the first few uses, it's flimsy and the shaft has bowed. The microfiber is also pretty low quality. Threw it to the tip after 4 months. Much better off with a bucket with built in wheels with a foot squeegee and a quality standard mop.

I have had my spin mop for over 7 years and in that time only purchased one extra mop head replacement from the two I had initially, until this week, when I bought two new mop heads. Before buying the new mop heads I would have given this mop a 4-5 star review. I loved it, however, the quality of the new mop material is absolute rubbish and I am… Read more

so disappointed. They work well the first time, but after washing, the mop fabric is so matted you essentially need to comb it apart, and it is not easy. If you want a mop of this quality, go buy the Vileda brand from Bunnings. Much cheaper and same quality mop head material.

Advertising spin does not match the product – I used this spin mop and bucket for the first time today. Overpriced, lightweight plastic that will break really quickly with a lightweight metal handle that won’t stand the test of time. Also to use the spin in the bucket requires the head to be at 90º from the handle, which it does NOT want to do. Nearly every time I had to bend over and adjust… Read more

it with my hand but even then it didn’t always work. The last time I tried several times to correct it with my hand while bending over and it STILL wouldn’t go into the bucket flat. I don’t know if all spin mops are this pathetic but unless someone I know personally raves about a different brand I won’t be buying ANY spin mops ever again. And I DEFINITELY won’t bother replacing the parts on this one. Not sure how long I’ll tolerate using it, or how long it’ll be before I replace it with something that actually does the job without making the job more difficult.

Golden Stars – Should have 10 stars have been using now for several years fantastic product well worth the awards received. Use it on my engineered timber floors which are water sensitive also have sloping or pitched patio roof and have found by locking the handle can also clean upside down plus windows as well. The old adage of those who deal with the cheapest… Read more

are wise to add a little extra for the risk they run having added a little extra you can afford something a little better certainly paid off with White Magic

Spin mop – The white magic mop is the best tool in the house I recommend it very good great for presents and for anyone wants t do cleaning great for doing skirting boards

perfect – Now had my white magic spin mop for 10 years. Brought the original and only needed 1 new head in that time. So much better than any of the others including the electric steam mops. Show details

Over priced rubbish – The handle goes together by screw the lengths together. Well fabulous you spin it a few times and it all comes undone. The actual pole is flimsy and not strong enough for a good mop. The bucket is good the head is ok. Had an older version and it was far superior. It’s over priced for a cheap mop. Show details

Terrible Customer Service – I'm on my fourth mop and bucket set. The first mop lasted 2 years before its spinning mechanism stopped working. I understood wear and tear, so I got a second set, which lasted 11 months before encountering the same issue. Since the shop didn't stock individual mops, I had to buy another set each time. Disappointingly, the third mop broke after… Read more

just 2 months. When I contacted Magic Mop, they claimed I had damaged the mops and only offered a warranty for the bucket, not the main part of the system. Considering their price of $90 each, I expected better customer service and a warranty for the main component. This will be my last purchase from them; I wouldn't be surprised if this one breaks soon too. Fortunately, the shop assisted me in dealing with Magic Mop & providing a replacement on the day from their stock, as I have elderly dogs and require a mop.It seems I'm not the only customer facing these issues. Save your money and avoid buying from them; the quality simply doesn't justify the cost, and they conveniently blame the customer for the problems.

No customer service – I've had the red bucket and mop which I recently gifted to my ageing mum to make her cleaning routine easier, for years and absolutely loved it. I bought myself the updated white bucket and trolley. Used the trolley a handful of times and it now takes up space in laundry cabinet. It doesn't hold the Buckett securely and catches and stops when… Read more

you attempt to pull it, rubbish! The spin bucket requires precision to locate the spin pin otherwise you need to put your hand in t he wash water to straighten the mop head, rubbish! Recently I had to replace the entire mop as the mop head had corroded and fallen off, rubbish! I bought the mop from Kitchen Warehouse in Osbourn Park about four weeks ago and began using it immediately. I noticed issues with it straight away. The handle was too short and I had to lengthen it with a part from the old mop. Then the mop head itself wouldn't glide over my floors but rather caught and flipped and turned. I have polished timber floors and smooth tiles and have to leave the mop wetter than I like to prevent this problem. The real problem however is the extreme lack of customer service. The person I dealt with showed absolutely no interest in customer satisfaction or respect for my integrity. White Magic is obviously not fazed by bad reviews. After emailing customer service I was asked to provide video evidence of me mopping and pointing out the problem! I was asked for receipts otherwise they wouldn't believe I had purchased the mop! I hadn't kept the receipt because quite frankly I didn't think I'd need to chase White Magic for assistance. I know I'm stuck with this mop and not an ounce of interest from the company but I won't be throwing my money away on their rubbish in the future. I can easily guess where they get their products manufactured now, the quality of their products that I once recommended is now truly lacking.

A bit disappointing – I have to agree with the reviews I have just read. Pity I didn't read them first. I clean for a lady who has had the red one for at least 6 years and I love using it so much I wanted one. Waited for it to be on sale brought it home and used it. The handle is hard to get upright to connect to spin in the water bucket part however the spinner is… Read more

amazing. I agree that the mop is nothing on the old one it folds up when using it which is really annoying for the price. The old one lands perfectly every time. Bring it back! I hope you will offer huge discounts to the reviewers if you do. I'll have to make sure I stick with it can't afford another one. Purchased from Kitchen Warehouse Gold Coast. I tried to order online at $55.40 yesterday for Black Friday special but site wasn't working so I called them. Best they could do today was $61.76 which was disappointing as well when I genuinely tried to do an online click and collect which wasn't working.

Complete waste of money – The old red bucket and mop was absolutely amazing, I had it for around 5 year's, thought I might upgrade. Well I'm on to my 3rd white mop, haven't even had this new one for 12mths, and the spin is broken, Need to source a new brand. Why did you have to change from the red bucket/mop to the white one, absolutely useless and the pin thing to spin it on...very disappointing. Show details

Rubish! Not even 1 star worthy – I purchased the original foot pedal purple mop years ago and still love it So i thought id get my kids one...after realising the original was no longer available and was replaced by a "better version"..What a load of rubbish! Absolutely nothing like the original easy and very effective mop. The new version may as well go in the bin so difficult… Read more

to use and just frustrating. I wish id never gifted it to my kids at all. After having nothing but praise for the original...i now let everyone and anyone know what a waist of money it is and to stay clear of this ridiculous contraption that suposidly replaced a very practical a great original version.. Dont waste your money and peace of mind!!!

Difficult to use – The mop does not guide effortlessly like it is supposed to. When mopping in a forward motion the fibres fold under the head and the plastic holder scrapes on the floor. Poor design and I will try and get a refund. Show details

Terrible – Absolutely terrible. I used to have a purple one and had to buy a new one as I have lost an old one. It doesn't work! What a waste of resources. It's flimsy and a handle is quite short. Show details

Very disappointed - Throwing it out :-( – Have had the previous red bucket and mop for almost 7 years which I absolutely loved and would recommend to anyone. Have just replaced it with the new white bucket & mop and hate it. The mop is flimsy and you can't just put the mop in the water easily as there is a pin you need to struggle to insert the mop into. Very very disappointed and am now looking for another replacement. Show details

Don't Change What's Not Broken! – A few years ago, I posted about the wonderful White Magic Spin mop stating it was the best on the market and how it had made my job as a professional cleaner easier. I've bought 3 replacement mops since then and two were the same excellent quality. Unfortunately the last mop from Howards has one big problem. The mop head doesn't glide over… Read more

floors as it it should. Instead, the microfibres grip onto the floors making mopping difficult and tiring. The effort hurts my back and I'm afraid the handle will break while I'm on a job. I don't know what to replace it with because this product has been such a godsend to me over the past 6 years.

The old (red) one was so much better – This mop feels flimsy - now it has a pin in one side of the mop which is supposed to be good - it's not. I bought this new one as I have put my old one downstairs. I should have just bought one of the cheaper models. Not happy with this one at all. Why they had to change something that was working well, beats me. Show details

The newer version(white) not as good as the old(red) – Items looked great until their functionality was tested. I bought the mop, bucket and trolley for my Mother after raving about the red spin mop/bucket. So disappointed with trolley, bucket just rests on top so not secure and not so easy to quickly move around. Bucket has a stupid locator pin just to make your cleaning that bit more laborious. This is the dumbest upgrade yet. Not sure about the wand as the bucket just ruined the whole thing! Show details

Disappointed – Just got the new turbo mop very disappointed with it I don’t understand why they had to change a great mop for this difficult to use one. Back to old mop Show details

Thoroughly Disappointed – I tried a friends Nature Direct spin mop and bucket and was absolutely sold on it. Decades of using old style mop and bucket this was so easy. Unfortunately they no longer make them and was told White Magic was their sister company. I ordered two (so glad it wasn’t 3) so I could gift one to daughter. I am sooo disappointed, skinny thin handle that… Read more

feels like it is going to break. Stupid screw thing in bucket that doesn’t allow you dip in and out unless you put your hand in the water (or it is not user friendly without a degree.to use it) teeny mop head. I unfortunately gave away my old mop and bucket, don’t you be so foolish. Not worth the money.

Makes my job faster and easier – I clean houses for a living. The floor areas of houses have grown and they are time consuming. I take pride in what I do and became frustrated with other mops. It was suggested that I try a spin mop. I read reviews and most of the complaint came from clips on the handle breaking. White magic doesn’t have any so that’s the one I went for. It’s… Read more

fantastic!! Last week I had a client ( I’ve been doing her home for 7 weeks now) say to me that her floor (tiled) looks as good as when they first built the house 18 years ago.

Very good – Just purchased this mop. I love how easy it is to spin the excess water from the mop. The only downfall is the size of the bucket which means it is quite heavy when filling with water and having to empty it from the laundry sink. Mum was interested in one until she tried to lift my bucket and quickly changed her mind as it was too heavy for… Read more

her. I have trouble rinsing the mop as you have to have it perfectly level to fit over the pin in the centre of the rinse bucket. I prefer to be able to simply dunk the mop in one side and spin in the other. If both compartments were the same shape and size, you could perhaps use the spin basket on any side and would then have the option to dunk if preferred.

White Magic Microfibre spin with free attachment – I found this new replacement product, which left fluff over my wooden polished floors and found the hand/back motion to spin the mop poor compared to the previous foot motion. The bucket is smaller and the microfibre mop head sheds fluff like a dog losing hair. The physical action to spin the mop head is operationally inferior in my experience. … Read more

With either the foot or hand motion buckets you dip/rinse the mop into the bucket to rinse and place in the spin section. With the foot lever you stay upright and 1] lever your foot like pedaling a bike, on the foothold to spin the mop then continue mopping. With the hand mop you have to 1] bend over undo a screw cap mechanism. You have to Ben Dover as the the mechanism is towards the bottom of the handle and the mop is loaded with you water mixture. 2] put the mop in a vertical position fairly precisely, 3] ensuring a partial lock for the mop stem is in place to ensure you are thrusting in a vertical action, 4] spin the mop by pumping your hands vertically up and down 5] bend over 6] then screw up the screw cap mechanism again so the mop handle doesn’t slip up and down. Very fiddly and inconvenient. Then, again in my experience, the mop fibre head began to shed fluff over the wooden floor surface being cleaned. I had not experienced this with the previous mop head. Very. very disappointing. Context: I bought a foot levered spin mop [purple with a number of attachments] a few years ago and thought it was terrific. More recently the bucket started slowly leaking causing some floor board damage as a result. The company didn’t provide replacement buckets so I the only way to keep using it was to buy a new complete set. Very disappointing that the company has basically abandoned customers who bought the previous foot levered product. I note other companies sell a foot lever product. Indeed a lot of drying style mops depend on a foot action to get rid of excess water.

Love this – Fantastic and worth the extra money after using a much cheaper one. White vinegar and hot water is all I need and it’s so easy to use. No slipping on really wet tiles.

Luv Luv Luv the spin mop – i bought 1 of these (White Magic) then after using I went back and got 3 more for my family, who also love them. I think there the best thing since sliced bread and rave to my friends about it. I had to buy and extra one for hubby from Spotlight which was cheaper than Howard Storage, for the boat. Mine is a spin mop push style no foot pump. Sue

I wouldn’t buy anything else – This mop is very light and easy to use. No squeezing necessary. The only down side was that it left some white bits on the floor after washing the floor the first few times but this seems to be reducing with further use. A friend who used this mop suggested she preferred a rectangular shape rather than round. I am not sure if that would / could spin. It is easy to wash in the machine and comes out lovely and clean.

Make sure it's a white magis spin mop – I have read a lot of these reviews and by some of the comments it's clear people are not comparing the same mop as there are a lot of copies on the market

What did I do before!, – This mop is perfect. No pressure on my back when wringing it out and the floor is dry in minutes. Best one I have ever used. Even my husband can use it,

Much easier than the old mop with the ringer bucket – With Laminate flooring I can't use a wet mop. This mop is ideal because you can spin the excess water out before putting it on the floor. The spinner works really easily. I am pretty happy with it, although I prefer a straight mop rather than a round one personally as I like to put some strength into hard to shift marks and you can't do that with a round mop.

Not worth the money – The spin mop worked fine at first, then after a few uses it started to jam at the bottom when spinning the handle. It made the mop completely useless! White Magic seriously needs to review the manufacturing. Not recommending this mop to anyone, it's just a gimmick.

Yes I am so very happy with my mop – I find it very easy to use and it goes under the furniture and chairs. The mop is very easy to attach to the handle and take off. Keep up producing these great products. Thank you.

The best mop ever – I bought the mop from Howards Storage Mt Gravatt. I love my mop so much I recommend it to everyone I know. My son suffers from asthma so we recently remove all the old carpet to timber flooring. The mop is just perfect for our timber floor. It's also very easy to use, even my son can use it. The quality of this mop is also very good, money well spent. White Magic Mopis the best!

Makes mopping a breeze ! – The quality of the mop head is as advertised. The mop I used is the hand spin model and the ability to adjust the moisture left in the mop head is a bonus. I would recommend this product.

Mop heads not as Advertised – We Purchased the complete set White Magic Microfibre Spin Mop with five spare mop heads, the fibres on mop heads not as advertised, and about half the length of advertised picture... check it out, I have contacted Globel shop and they say not so, I think it's False Advertising.
