Just received Spinwave yesterday, and I am writing a review today, that is how happy I am with the Bissell Spinwave. Out of the box, the pads were already on it. It comes with 2 sets of the plain pads and 1 set of the scrubber pad. We also received 2 of the trail size wood floor cleaner and one trail size of the floor sanitizer. It doesn't take much to clean.The unit came in 2 pieces but attached. The handle snaps easily into the base and you are ready to go. Instructions were clear and actually self explanatory. After filling the water tank, which is clearly lined marked for water, then adding the cleaner to the appropriate line, which looked about 2 capfuls. insert the water tank on the machine and you are ready to go. I made sure to tighten the cap to prevent any leakage. Another plus is the long cord.Press the start button, reclined the handle and the pads began to spin, pressed the cleaning solution button and started to clean. Extremely easy to move across the floor. The unit itself is light weight. After doing our wood floors, I did the linoleum in the laundry room. Beautiful and easy. The floors look great. Will do our bathroom tile next!This is a wonderful machine to do your floors with, so happy I bought it. Highly recommend.
