I’ve used this electric mop over 100 times, and this is how I honestly feel about it eight months after my first review

Philips OneUp 5000 Series Electric Mop on wood-effect flooring.

As Ideal Home’s House Manual Editor, it’s literally my job to test cleaning products. And as I test so many, it’s become pretty hard to impress me - let alone create a product that I’ll willingly use in my own home for months on end. But Philips did just that when they launched the Philips OneUp 5000 Series Electric Mop (£149.99 at Amazon) last year.

For years, the best mops have been fairly repetitive in terms of design and delivery. And while I wouldn’t use the word ‘old-fashioned,’ I do think the mop world needed to be shaken up. This happened when this battery-powered model thrust me into my electric mop era eight months ago.
