How is this different than the Hurricane Mop advertised on t.v.? It looks like the same thing.

I don't know anything about the Hurricane mop so I am sorry I can't answer your question.

The hurricane mop has a foot pedal which causes the spinning action. The twist and shout mop has a lever on the mop handle, when flipped in the downward position cause the drum to turn. I actually like the twist and shout better. I read up on both prior to my purchase a while ago. I am very pleased with the twist and shout mop and will buy another if I ever have issues..

I think the main difference is how the water is extracted. I believe the Hurricane Mop has a foot pedal to pump, while the Twist and Shout Mop extracts the water by the up and down motion in the 'centrifuge' basket. Actually, that was the reason I bought the Twist and Shout instead of the Hurricane mop - less parts to break.

I don't have or ever have had the Hurricane Mop. My decision to buy the Twist and Shout Mop was completely based on reading reviews. Based on the reviews the Hurricane mop wasn't as sturdy. I really love my Twist and Shout Mop and I find it so easy to use and durable.

The spinning pedal is the biggest difference I found. I was looking to buy the Hurrican Mop but saw reviews that the foot pedal breaks easily so I ended up getting this mop instead. The spinning feature is built into the handle. I haven't had any problems and I am absolutely satisfied with my choice.

Silly isn't it - maybe for the convenience of buying it together - there should not be a difference. though I bought the 5200c - it is just the unit and the cradle - almost did not see the cradle in the small box taped to the bottom of the big box. I love the mint both the dry mop and the wet mop work great - if it is cheaper right now to buy them separate I would do that - it was cheaper to buy them together when I purchased them - good luck

The one I got was clear..I got it for my grandson for Xmas who wanted it, however he was very disappointed..I think the TV commercial was misleading.

If by compatible you mean, "Can the mop heads be used interchangeably?" I'd say no. If you are asking "Is this system the same as/as good as the Hurricane?", I'd say It's better! One reason is this mop does not need the foot petal to make it spin. The mop handle on the Twist and Shout has a lever you simply flip down in order to make the mop head spin in the receptacle which is similar to a salad spinner. The mop heads are made exclusively for this mop and click in and out easily. I love my mop! Seriously, this system makes mopping my floors as close to "fun" as possible! I believe the Twist and Shout is surpassing the Hurricane in sales, as well. Go ahead and purchase - you will be very pleased! I hope this helps...

I remember looking at it and thinking the same thing. Actually didn't know about the other sites. There is a similar steam broom selling on infomercials for somewhat less than even that. And truth be told, I'm not sure I would even pay that much for it. I would love a steam mop that does the same thing, but more than $50 and I have to wonder what kind of special plastic they used to make this stuff. Somebody must be buying it or else the price would be lower. And I'm sure Bissel's reputation is better than that infomercial item too, just to be fair.

The white basket that is inside the blue bucket spins when you step on the pedal. I returned mine because the pedal action was not smooth and the pedal sometimes stuck in the down position. I would advise that you spend a few bucks more and buy the Hurricane spin mop. I have purchased two of the Hurricanes, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

The "mop" is light weight and looks like it should work but I gave this item a very negative report based on the disappointing fact that the one I have is very non absorbent. It works best at pushing a puddle around not picking it up. Perhaps there is some major variation in the product being sold under this name. I'm over 70 and didn't have any problem "using" the mop it just doesn't work (for me). The only reason I still have it is that Goodwill didn't pick it up last time they came around. Very disappointed with this item.

I just bought one and the difference is the type of scrubbing brush the model comes with. I know this because I read the manual. Yes, someone did read the manual. Each model only comes with one brush.got mine from Walmart it was cheaper and works wonderful. Sure beats the Cinderella method.

Funny you should ask. When I bought the mop, I also bought two replacement sponge heads. When I recently put one on the replacements onto the handle (no problem), it fell apart the first time I used it. I can only imagine the sponge gets brittle with age, even in its box. Casabella replaced it for me without charge (but didn't send two, even though I'd reported having purchased two replacements). But to get to the point, I don't know whether my mop handle is the "older traditional classic ... Bee" or not. Sorry.

According to the specs, they both seems to be the same product. Probably the marketing strategy? lol

It is similar but the mop part is bigger and the material is a thicker cloth. I actually vacuum or use the dry Swiffer prior to mopping with the Bona just to get up all of the loose debris. Then you just spray the Bona on the floor and mop away!

I have the Steam Mop, too. This is cheaper (if I remember correctly, but I know this Bissell costs about $50 everywhere) and IMO works better when you use it with the cloths. I used it AFTER I had already steamed the floor and I still got a lot of dirt on the cloth, it really surprised me! The only CON I've come across with this is that you have to buy more cloths. Since I have a regular steamer still I've still used that between times when the floor looks like it needs a better clean up. If you have a fabric cloth big enough and thin enough to stick the corners into the little spots where the cloth goes you can use it with just the fabric and it works just like a regular steamer.

The mop is made of microfiber cloth ribbons. I saw them sold at Target recently. Maybe one of your local Targets has them and you can take a look at how it is made.

All of the consumer Bona mops, this does not include the commercial versions. (I believe those are longer.)

They both were about the same. there is a cleaning tool you can use to help.

Well I have to say that I don't understand this either. I noted that higher-priced one, and it DOES look identical. I think the higher-priced one has the wrong photo. The one I got looks just like this photo shown.

I only know that the mop I purchased from a Vacumn Center store is well made. If it is not like the one on Amazon I cannot answer that. But the one I have..I like.
