Customer Reviews of Swiffer SweeperVac Rechargeable Cordless Vacuum Starter Kit (Packaging May Vary)
Customer Review: Just get a regular swiffer (or 2)
Summary: 1 Stars
I know this is totally off topic but:
Seeing some of the above complaints, I reccomend theAs Seen On Tv Cordless Swivel Sweeper (costs more but way worth in in my humble opinion). Get that, AND one (or 2 or..?) regular Swiffer Sweeper Complete Pack with Two Dry Sweeping Cloths & Two Wet Mopping Cloths (Pack of 3) (cheaper). I use those two things and it's enough to clean my whole place (carpet too). The handle on my Swiffer Sweeper broke after only a month of daily use. I live alone, have two hairy cats who love to share that hair with the whole world (and the regular sweeper picks it up just fine without the vac!), and only a few hundred square feet of condo space in the city. I wish the darn handle on it didn't break, though. It bothers me. Can't ten bucks buy somthing that won't break or evaporate these days!?
Wasn't pleased with my Swiffer moist towlette with scrub strip pad thinggys either, they dried out too quickly. Using diluted cleaner sprayed on a regular Swiffer disposable dry pad works better. Swiffer Disposable Cloths, 32-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)
Customer Review: Not as advertised.
Summary: 2 Stars
I couldn't wait to try this product out. We have 4 cats and one dog ...with the main floor being hardwood and tile. At first, I was thinking "wow, much better than sweeping" until I used it a few times.
I've been using it for a week now and the only thing it is good for is picking up fur and dust. It won't even pick up one tiny pebble of cat litter. I seriously don't know how they picked up so much on the tv ads (cheerios and larger pieces of dirt). My hand vac is stronger than this.
I don't like the handle either. It feels very awkward.
The product needs alot of improving.
I'm disapointed in Swiffer and will be returning it for a full refund this weekend.
PROS:
Lightweight.
Can hang it up on a hook.
Easy to use.
CONS:
Low suction (not as advertised).
Awkward handle.
No reuseable/washable swiffer cloth.
Product price (not worth it for pet owners).
Price of changeable clothes.
All in all, I don't recommend this product for pet owners (specifically, pets that carry stuff through your house from their paws). I'd rather spend twice the money on something that actually does what it is suppose to do.
I hope this was helpful :)
Customer Review: so convenient
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this while on vacation for a beach home that was all linoleum and tile. I didn't expect much given the cost, but it actually worked much better than expected. It gets up sand very well. I also have a parrot that throws down seed and other items and I have a long haired dog. Sometimes you have to go over something twice, but on the whole, the vac has picked up everything. The dust cup is easy to empty, and the filter is washable. I do empty it every time, to get the best suction. The cloths can also be rinsed out and reused a few times, which may be a concern for people who want to keep their landfill waste to a minimum, who object to buying cleaning tools that require you to keep buying proprietary supplies, or who just want to do a touch up and have run out of the cloths. You can also use the wet ones in this product, though I haven't used them with the vacuum on. But you can go over the floor with a dry cloth to vacuum and sweep, then put a wet swiffer cloth on and mop the floor with the vac off. Much more convenient than a broom, or getting out the big vacuum. I'm really glad I got it and I'm going to use it post vacation at home. It's particularly nice because its cordless. I can imagine using this a lot in kitchen and baths at home.Customer Review: I Absolutely Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Swiffer Sweep & Vac for the purpose of keeping my tile floor free of cat hair and litter. It works spectacularly and I just couldn't be happier about it. The vac nozzle sits low to the ground which helps it vacuum up lighter things (such as the hair) and is powerful enough for larger bits. The swivel head makes it easy to work around corners and furniture. The sweeping cloths are supposed to be changed after every use, but the vacuum does such a good job that there is hardly any debris on the cloth after my first use. I haven't had it long enough to see how long the battery lasts when fully charged.
As with every smaller vacuum of this nature I have had, there is a small amount of litter that will fall out of the unit after it has been turned off. When I finish, I typically turn it off, let the debris fall out, and revacuum it back up, letting the vacuum sit on an already clean spot for just a few seconds to allow the litter and etc. to reach the dirt container.
I know others have posted mixed reviews about how well this unit works with pet hair and litter, but I am so happy to have this. Now I don't have to lug my 30 year old, 30 lb Kirby and all its attachments down stairs anymore!
Customer Review: loved it initially. now...not so much
Summary: 2 Stars
i thought this was going to be the perfect solution for the daily dust that accumulates on my hardwood floors. initially, i was impressed. the swiffer seemed to pick up a lot of the dust. however, i was bothered by the plastic "vacuum" part, as it sometimes can scratch the floor if you're not careful. as another member wrote, it would have helpful if they would have put some rubber or something over the plastic vacuum part.
as the months passed, i found that the vacuum didn't seem to pick up as much as it used to. i do clean the filter regularly (which is a dusty mess each time you do it), so i don't know what's going on. frankly, the vacuum just isn't strong enough for what i need it to do anymore. i've reverted back to my regular "super-strength" vacuum to get the job done.
pros:
* lightweight
* easy to use
* works great for very light jobs
* small and easy to store
cons:
* vacuum not as strong as i'd like - more powerful motor would be great.
* plastic vacuum part in front can scratch floors if you're not careful
* cleaning the filter can be messy and can require you to swiffer the floor right after cleaning the filter!
