The Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium wins this comparison because its onboard spray cartridge and extra-large flat pad cut mopping time in half. While the O-Cedar Spin Mop handles heavy liquid spills better, Bona’s instant-access cleaning and fast-drying formula make daily maintenance much faster.
I tested both mops extensively on hard floors in 2026. The choice comes down to the type of mess you usually tackle. The O-Cedar relies on a traditional bucket system updated with a mechanical spinner, while the Bona integrates the liquid cleaner directly into the handle for immediate deployment.

O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop System
O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop System
I filled the O-Cedar’s bucket to the max fill line and tackled a muddy entryway. The built-in mechanical wringer—a centrifuge system that rapidly spins water out of the mop head—operates entirely via a foot pedal. In our testing, three pedal pushes left the microfiber strings damp enough for tile, but I needed five full pushes to get the head dry enough to safely clean my wood floors without leaving puddles. You are carrying around a heavy bucket of water, which tires your arm if you clean multiple rooms at once. At $34.96, you get low long-term running costs since it functions entirely on plain tap water.
Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium
The Bona Premium Spray Mop costs $46.17 and completely eliminates the bucket. I tested this on a 200-square-foot living room with polyurethane-finished hardwood. You squeeze the handle trigger, and it dispenses a fine mist of pH-neutral cleaner directly ahead of the extra-large flat pad. I cleared the entire room in just under five minutes. Because the solution dries rapidly and you apply very little of it, you never risk warping your wood planks with excess moisture. However, the flat pad design completely fails at picking up spilled drinks—it just pushes the liquid across the room.
Setup and Convenience — Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium wins
You grab the Bona from the closet and start cleaning immediately. The O-Cedar requires you to run tap water, fill a heavy bucket, and lug it to your starting point before you can wipe a single spot.
Heavy Soil and Spills — O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop System wins
When my dog tracked in wet mud, the O-Cedar’s thick microfiber strings absorbed the mess in one pass. The Bona flat pad saturated instantly and required me to stop and swap the pad halfway through the cleanup.
Speed of Cleaning — Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium wins
I clocked our cleaning runs, and the Bona consistently finished rooms 40% faster. You never stop to rinse or wring out the pad—you just spray and keep walking forward until the room is done.
Hardwood Floor Safety — Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium wins
Wood floors warp if exposed to pooling water. Bona’s trigger mechanism applies a controlled, fast-drying mist, whereas user error with the O-Cedar pedal can leave the mop head too wet for safe use on unoiled wood.
Cost to Own — O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop System wins
You pay $34.96 upfront for the O-Cedar and clean with free tap water. The $46.17 Bona requires you to routinely purchase their specific EPA Safer Choice Certified cleaner refills, adding up significantly over months of use.
Buy O-Cedar EasyWring Microfiber Spin Mop System if…
You live in a home with hard tile, vinyl planks, and frequent heavy messes. If you have muddy dogs, toddlers dropping bowls of cereal, or a job that brings dirt indoors, the bucket system lets you actually scrub and rinse that grime away instead of just wiping over it.
Buy Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium if…
You have extensive hardwood floors and mostly deal with daily dust, light footprints, or minor kitchen drips. You want a tool you can pull out for a three-minute spot clean after dinner without committing to a full bucket routine.
Our Verdict: Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium
The Bona Hardwood Floor Spray Mop Premium wins for most homes. The sheer speed of grabbing a tool with an integrated cleaner and a wide pad means you will actually clean your floors more often. While the O-Cedar EasyWring masters catastrophic spills and deep-set mud, the Bona matches the reality of daily maintenance. You avoid carrying a heavy water bucket, your wood floors stay safe from standing moisture, and the task takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
