Customer Reviews of Swiffer WetJet Spray, Mop Floor Cleaner Starter Kit (Packaging May Vary)
Customer Review: Creates more waists than its cleans...
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the product in hopes of that it would do better than the regular Swiffer mop. Here is my pros & cons:
Pros: It has the best scrubbing pads I've seen. Better than the regular mop.
and that is it...
Cons: 1.) The scrubbing pads are not reusable. So if you use it for a small job, you would need to use a new pad for another cleaning job. 2.) The device only uses ALKALINE Batteries and WILL NOT use any kind of rechargable batteries. 3.) You need to be carefull with the spray trigger. When I handle it and keep mistakenly push the button for the liquid cleaning solution to shoot out.
With throwing away those big cleaning pads and 4 AA batteries, the Swiffer Wet Jet creates more waste than it cleans. They need to remake the item with reusable/washable cleaning pads and either the ability to use rechargable batteries or have a built in rechargeable battery to charge with an adapter or charging dock.
Customer Review: convenient... but have moved on
Summary: 3 Stars
When I first got this I loved it, was excited about it. I hate mopping and found this to be very convenient. So if you are extremely busy this could be a great solution for you. But I have since found an alternative that is better for me-- and my lazy mopping attitude.
First off, I have a steam mop which I use once a month on all my hardwood floors. But I could skip that step completely. I have bought a regular mop with a microfiber pad (I chose the scotch-brite hardwood mop... but use it on tile/linoleum with no problems). It looks much like the original swiffer but with a wider head. I have a spray bottle I fill with a vinegar solution. You can see where I'm going, right? Spray it ahead of me (much like the wetjet does) and then follow with my mop.
It is much more cost effective than the wetjet and I can use whatever floor cleaner I want... in the bathrooms upstairs I use bleach solution. But I stole the idea from the wetjet!
Customer Review: Pads don't stick and it kills batteries
Summary: 1 Stars
I like the idea of the product, but I find two major problems with it.. First, after I took the first pad off, I've now tried 5 new pads and the first pad basically gunked up the velco so bad that nothing will stick to it now.. I've tried cleaning off the velcro, but it's basically just dirt cheap velcro. So now I put the pad on the floor and push it around with out sticking.. Can't tape it it (this gets wet, remember).. Second, I find out that my heavy duty rechargable batteries only last about 4 days.. Maybe a sum total of 15 minutes of mopping time and a few minutes of actually spraying time.. It seems like there is a serious current leak in this pump system...
I've used it about a dozen times now and I'm throwing it away... It's a good product idea, but I must have gotten a bad one since others have had better luck because this was a pure waste of money.. I think i'll stick to a standard mop for cleaning and get a plain old swiffer for dust...
Customer Review: buy the clorox readi mop instead
Summary: 1 Stars
as i'm sure everyone else has stated; unless you're creative** you must use only swiffer wet jet solution and cleaning pads with this one.
the next problem comes when i install the wetjet cleaner bottle and it leaks.
if do not remove it promptly after every mopping session the entire bottle will dispense itself onto my floor in a very nice puddle.
considering that i must use the fairly expensive WetJet cleaning solution i have wasted far more money than this INconvenient mop is worth.
**creative endeavors:
fashion your own washable cleaning "diaper" out of and old rag wrapped with a microfiber dust cloth cut and sewn to fit the mop head - the microfiber attaches itself to the velcro that's already there. ;)
you can pop the top off the cleaning solution by running it under hot water for a few minutes which allows you to then refill with your own favorite mopping solution.
Customer Review: Smells funky, but very convenient
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not a huge fan of the smell of this Swiffer solution that comes with the sweeper, but the sheer convenience of this product keeps me coming back to it.
It's just so nice to grab it and start swiffering. It's also a plus not having to dip the thing back and forth in the water and squeeze it out. It's just fast and easy. I know that makes me sound terribly lazy, but I mean, who really likes cleaning? It's a pain.
I give this three stars because of convenience and because I do feel like it gets my tile clean (I have very limited tile in my apartment -- it's only in the kitchen and the bathroom). It falls short of the final two stars because, as others have said, the solution doesn't smell very good. I miss the smell of my lavender scented cleaner that I normally mop with. In addition, you do have to use their solution and I believe you have to use their pads too, although I'm sure others would work fine.
