    Mine came last week but had to nip to the DHL depot to collect. On charge at the mo so not taken for a spin but came with 2 pads and 2 bottles. Seems ok. Not a powerful suction but it's only the equivalent of a dustbuster. Odd jobber me thinks!

    Just used mine - whizzed round with the vacuum first, great as it gets right up to the edge, picked up a horrifying amount of fluff on the cloth! Changed the cloth, then went around with the mop. It's great as it controls how wet you get the floor, so it dries really quickly. It's also nice & light which was good as I was moving between bathroom & downstairs. It seemed very quick (although maybe I was so excited by the novelty that I didn't notice!) Now I'll just pop the used cloths into the next wash. One thing I have noticed is you need to be careful not to store it with a full tank & leaning on the "spray" button - I'm guessing that may be how leaks have occurred for other people.
    Bottom line, I'd recommend to anyone still hesitating.

    Don't think it would work very successfully on carpet. Should always be used with the cloth pad on it, but I think that is so that you don't scratch the floor. If you used it on carpet the velcro that holds the pads on would damage the carpet as well as get clogged with fluff.

    Cheers, I couldn't see all that from the little piccies. Might go for the feather thing advertised. This one still looks a great buy though.

    It just seems a bit random what came in the box with it - most people seemed to get 2 bottles of floor cleaner, but I think they must have had a glut of the cloths & been shoving extra ones in, I got 5 in total. I didn't get a spider though......
