Swiffer Sweeper+Vac Starter Kit

Love it, love it, love it. I honestly don't know how I managed without it. It makes it so easy to do quick clean-ups and stay on top of things so that the floor doesn't get out of hand--which can happen quickly in my house thanks to a preschooler, a newborn and two dogs. It's great on the dog hair! I've even used the wet pads to clean up when the dogs brought in mud on their paws and it worked flawlessly that way too.

I've used this product for about 4 months now. I typically use it once a week to clean the floors of my room. At first, the vacuum worked very well and picked up everything that it was supposed to. However, as time goes on, you'll notice that the power of the vacuum is not as good as it needs to be to pick up dust and pet hair. It got to the point where I was basically just spreading the cat hair around under my bed instead of vacuuming it up. It doesn't matter if you follow Swiffer's instructions on how to maximize battery life and power. The battery just plain gets weaker very quickly over time. In conclusion, unless you absolutely need the portability offered by this product or if you just need to do some light vacuuming, avoid it if you can.

Pros:
Lightweight

Cons:
Battery life
Limited power

I purchased this after doing a ton of research on other cordless floor vacs. I thought the Shark would be awesome, it does carpet/rugs too, but I couldn't find many good reviews on it. I purchased this and have used it a few times and am really impressed! The suction is great, it does a great job on hard wood stairs b/c of the pivoting head. And the cloth 'sweeper' part pics up a ton of dirt/dust that may have been missed by a regular vacuum. I thought (from other reviews) that the battery would run out before I was done but I could go over areas a few times before it ran down. My house isn't real large but my entire upstairs and main level, approx 1600 sf are hard wood or tiles. Highly recommend this item.

I love my new swiffer vac. It makes quick work of sweeping my kitchen, laundry room, foyer and bathrooms. I love that it vacs up crumbs, as well as grabs hairs (pet and human) with the pad. While these areas are small in my home, it took me less than 5 minutes to vac all of them. Not only that, afterwards I used the swiffer wet jet to mop and clean those areas which took only 5 additional minutes. Sweeping and mopping complete in about 10 minutes!!! Everything is nice and clean with minimal time and effort.

Pros: inexpensive, lightweight, efficient, combines wipe pad and vacuum

Cons: have to charge after use, not always able to vacuum things off the floor
