Mopnado, named from "tornado" from its super fast spinning, is a, extremely high quality spin mop. I dare say one of the most high quality ones on the market! It was founded by siblings Kevin and Jin, based in Los Angeles, California. Their story is a funny one, too. Their mother gave them a spin mop a few years ago, and like many poorly made spin mops, it broke soon after. That is when they came up with a spin mop that actually lasts. Although it is a bit more expensive than others, it is built to last and you won't have to buy a replacement mop after using it after just a short amount of time.
Mopnado is a walkable spin mop (the deluxe version) and features a mop head agitator in the water reservoir so that you are able to spin the mop to clean it in the rinse area. The mop bucket also features a built in cleanser dispenser (which I use for vinegar to squirt into my water). The bucket has large wheels and a self retracting handle so that you can pull the bucket around instead of having to carry it. This feature is really nice and my back loves me for it. This is a handle driven spin where the spin is controlled in the handle. I use the mop on my engineered hardwood floors, but you can use them on all types of floors including tile, laminate, vinyl, stone, and marble.
Nice clear water indicator line
They have a very comprehensive website with a wealth of information, including
assembly and tips/tricks videos.
Self retracting handle
Verdict? I highly recommend this spin mop for serious mop buyers out there looking for a mop that isn't going to break on them in half a year and has the space for it!
Mopdash is in a category on its own as when it comes to compact spin mops. MopDash was created by a team of New York designers who desperately wanted a spin mop that fit into their smaller living quarters without it affecting the quality of a good spin mop. They did just that. They created a space-saving, one-of-a-kind, spin mop! Without going into specific details on
install, let's focus on the experience. The MopDash bucket is made of very thick plastic and does not feel cheaply made like many other spin mops on Amazon. The sturdy construction washes away the worry of cracking and leaking buckets. The mop head was easy to attach and detach and I've had no problems with washing the mop head in the washing machine. The bucket features a nifty drain hole that is covered by thick plastic. Although, I never actually use it because I find it easier to just tip the bucket over. The mop is very flexible and allows me to lay the mop head flat against the floor (rather than at an angle-which is NOT how you are supposed to use it). The spinning mechanism is well made and I haven't seen other mops lock the mop down in the "rinse cycle" like this one does. I really like that feature because it makes me feel that the mop is more securely in the bucket and lets me know that I have it in the correct placement for the rinse spin cycle. This is also a handle driven spin, no foot pedals!! Their website also has information about the company's founder and the
manual, in case you threw it away like i did!
Nice clear water line indicator.
Verdict? I absolutely recommend this well built, sturdy, and space saving mop. The system is very compact (read: extremely easy to store!!) without sacrificing quality.
Woodsam spin mop is your most budget friendly handle driven spin mop. It also fits the adage "you get what you pay for." I haven't used any of these mops long term yet, but the other two feel more strongly made; however, I know many many young single and married professionals who just aren't ready to jump the gun to purchase a $65 mop yet. They want to test the waters with a mop that does the job. Well, this mop does the job. It is nothing fancy but it does what it is supposed to. It dries the mop well and also features a mop head agitator in the water reservoir as the other two have. My mother has a spin mop with a foot pedal that doesn't do an adequate job of drying the mop head. Much of the water ends up on on the floor and it takes long to dry, not to mention a fall hazard for older adults! The bucket also does not have a max line indicator as the other two buckets have, but it's not a big deal. It is pretty common sense where the water max line should be, but sometimes, people forget when they are juggling a barking dog, a crying baby, and a shouting toddler when they are filling up their buckets...
Verdict? Good for someone not fully committed to spending a lot on a mop, but wants to try out handle driven spin mops. Still a good quality setup and better than most of the other junk out there!!

You will notice that Mopnado handle is just longer, that is simply because I have the extension pole installed here. You can easily change the length and take out the extension pole for better leverage when mopping the floors.
Final verdict?? If you have the space, the Mopnado is my pick. But if you are strapped on space the MopDash would be best fit for you.

Although most of the surfaces in my home are best solved with a vacuum, I appreciate the experiment and enjoyed the results thoroughly. MopDash is obviously the economical choice. The length of a mop handle directly affects functionality, and I liked the extension pole and how it was used to affect leverage.
