| Fantastic product. I owned the original for about three years. This thing is the fastest, most efficient, and best way to clean wood floors. Far more sanitary than a broom. br /br /Highly recommend running the battery completely down a few times and recharging to full charge. |

| I had a Dirt Devil vaccum/sweeper/cleaner dispenser for my hardwood floors. As per many reviews this was very fragile and all kinds of things broke on it very quickly..le sigh.br /I couldn't find anything comparable that was a reasonable price until I hit on this. It is better quality/sturdier, the access for the charger is well placed (on top), and it has the very ,convenient rubber circles to pop in your pads. It doesn't have the liquid dispenser but I just use any of the plastic backed pads for other cleaners, spay the floor lightly with appropriate cleaner, and it works just as well if not better because I can adjust my spay to "fine".br /I found this at Target for twice the price first. I decided I needed to see my options so I did not have similar problems.br /Five stars for it's versitility, durability, ease, and price :). It wasn't only cheaper on Amazon but free shipping and no tax just sweetened the deal.br / |

"Excellent When Used AS INTENDED" | 2008-09-05 |

I have five cats. This means a lot of cat litter, cat food, and cat hair on the vinyl floor in my utility room. The Swiffer Sweeper Vac is perfect for quickly and easily picking up all of the above.
It is light-weight, and does not scratch the floors. No dust pan and brush needed. The flexible sweeping head swivels easily to reach into corners and under cabinets with no problem.
Important to keep in mind:
In the user manual that comes with the product, it states you MUST charge the battery for a full 24 hours before first use.
It states the vac will run for about 10 - 12 minutes on one charge, then need to be charged for 16 hours.
It states the Sweeper&Vac operates best if used until fully discharged before charging again.
It is intended for dry pick up only, not liquids.
The dirt container is small. I just checked, and one 8-oz measuring cup of dry cat litter more than fills it. I'd say 4 - 6 oz is more like it.
It does NOT work well on carpet.
The manual suggests storing the Sweeper Vac near an outlet where it is convenient to charge every time.
If you will not be happy with these limitations, you will not be happy with this product!
The floor in my utility room is small, about 6' X 10'.
If you have a very large house, or many rooms with hardwood, tile, or vinyl floors, you may not be happy with the Sweeper Vac, as many other reviews have stated. It simply isn't intended to run for long periods of time on one charge. I'd suggest getting some other floor cleaning appliance.
If you want something for quick dry-pick-up, with no stooping or bending to use dust pan and brush, the Swiffer Sweeper Vac may be just the thing.
The dirt container does pull off very easily to empty, and snaps easily back into place. The filter is very easy to remove and snap back into place.
Some other user reviews have stated that the Sweeper Vac does not pick up solid pieces of cat food, only crumbs. I do NOT understand this. Mine picks up both whole pieces of dry cat food AND crumbs. It picks up lint, cat litter and dust. It gets all the cat hair and "dust bunnies" with no problem. That's all I wanted or expected it to do, and it does all of those things quickly and easily.
Replacement filters are available at Target, and at several sites online. Two cloths are included in the Starter Kit. The Swiffer cloths are available at grocery stores, discount stores, and online. Target and Walmart both carry them.
I think if used as intended this is an excellent floor cleaner. I'm very happy with mine.

"you don't have to buy new filters!!!" | 2008-09-02 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3M6XQGPQHF2H4 |
you don't have to buy new filters, just use the housekeeper equipment from your regular vacuum to clean the filter; i use the crevice tool.
i have had my swiffer sweeper for over a year now with no problems. since the charge does not last long (i get maybe 10 to 15 minutes) in order to finish all my floors, i leave the swiffer turned off, flip up the sweeper head and move all the dirt into one place and then sweep up the dirt and go around the baseboards and do the same for the rest of the rooms.
so, why buy this when it would be cheaper to buy the plain swiffer sweeper, the one without the vacuum? let me just say every day dry kitchen spills; coffee grinds, the dog knocked over the garbage, the kids crushed oyster crackers all over the floor, no dust pan. by the way, this is really good for broken light bulbs and glass on the kitchen floor; when i used a regular broom there would still be glass slivers in the floor weeks later. it only takes a couple of minutes to clean up the above mess.
i might get that shamwow and cut it to fit my swiffer vacuum and wet jet, that would save some money since the shamwow can be tossed in the washer.
i would have given this a five star if the charge lasted longer and they sold reusable cloths for this. if my swiffer breaks, i will get another one.

| love it love it love it... this Swiffer sweeper vac is amazing. it has great suction, picks up most anything, and the swiffer pad picks up the rest. It give bare floor cleaning a pure simplicity. the only downside is that the vac fills up so quickly. however, this is only because it works so well. You can also pick up the vac filter refills. I think that that is great. If you are a former dust buster user, you know what i mean. YOU always want to replace them, but never quite know where to buy the new filters. With the Swiffer Sweeper vac, you can pick them up at your usual grocery or discount store. THREE CHEERS FOR SWIFFER SWEEPER VAC. Once you use it you will never want to use and thing else. I actually carry around the Swiffer sweeper vac and Swiffer wet jet at the same time and get my bare floors done in a jiffy. This is a Must buy item.. |

The sweeper vac is the best thing for people with hardwood/tile etc and who own animals. It's cordless, so it's convenient, and the swiffer pads can hold a lot of dirt on their own. However. 1. The canister is small. Halfway through the house I have to empty it. 2. Like most rechargable things, the batteries WILL DIE. We got a year-and-a-half of use out of our old one before it started dying in the middle of cleaning. It takes a while to recharge, as well. 3. I haven't been able to clean the filter well or find filter replacements. 4. It won't pick up some things, and doesn't work well in corners. (I was hoping it'd pick up the fuzz from my dogs' toys.) If Swiffer would address these concerns and produce a new model, it would be PERFECT. Even with its flaws, it's a great product. It's perfect for when unexpected company arrive; you just zip around, and it looks like you spent an hour vaccuuming. It's a must-have for anyone with wood, vinyl, laminate, or tile. |

| I loved the swiffer when I first received it, but after only a few months it won't hold a charge. This is very frustrating when I need to clean up after the kids and dogs. |
