I absolutely loved my Swiffer. It worked miracles in my home, since I don't have much carpeting. The refills are pretty cost effective, which is nice. The only downside to this product is that the batteries die VERY quickly!

I love my Swiffer Sweepvac!!
I have hardwood floors in my apartment and the Swiffer Sweepvac makes them so easy to clean! :)
I keep mine plugged in at all times so that it's ready and charged whenever I need it :)
It's great for picking up dust and any dirt that my little dog brings into the apartment :)
If you live in a small place with no carpet, then pick up the Sweepvac! It's so much lighter and portable than a vacuum and so much more fun to use than a broom and a dust pan :P

I LOVE my sweepervac...I do not use it for the entire house, just for quick pick ups and touch ups and I find it is GREAT on crumbs that fall from the table or cat hair. It is not meant to pick up large items but it is great for smaller ones. I keep mine plugged in the laundry room all the time so when I go to get it it is always charged. It also comes with the dust pad refills scented with Febreze which are really nice to use.

Not worth the buy. It picks up pet hair great, but that's about it. It takes a long time to charge and is not ideal for big spaces - i.e a house, or decent size apartment or condo. It does have a great handle and maneuvered well for me, but not worth it.

The Reader's Digest Version:

Get this product if:
1) you have a pet - pet hair be gone!
2) you have hardwood floors
3) you have less than 600sq ft of floor to vaccum/dust

Do not get this product if:
1) you expect it to pick up large items like a regular vacuum
2) you have a massive amount of space to clean
3) you forget to charge things
4) you dilly-dally while you vacuum

This mini vac is for dust, crumbs, pet hair / human hair (bathroom), small bits of food, i.e.: cheerios. The battery life is quite short - about 15 to 20 minutes (you gotta be efficient; no dilly-dallying around while it's running). You have to charge it for at least 24 hours the first time. Ignore the package; a fully 24hours at least and don't use it until the green light is on. Remember to put it back on the charger when you're done.

Fantastic for hard-wood floors when there's a little more than just dust kicking around. It was a god-sent for our 600 sq ft, hardwood condo (with two dogs and two girls with long/shedding hair).

THE SWIFFER VAC
by Candyk

Out of the box, eighteen straight hours to charge it--I was miffed. I had hoped for better. I was so excited to try it for the first time and see if this was finally the 'perfect' lite vacuum for me. But this is my generation's norm in 2011. Grandma bought a broom and it wasn't even wrapped in finger cutting cardboard, all she had to do was bring it in the house, and she could use it sans non-biodegradable styrofoam, and plastic, and she didn't even have to keep track of the warranty and read an instruction sheet.

Well, at least I didn't have to buy a separate charger, and now my charger drawer looks like Medusa is tucked inside due to it being overstuffed with electrical cords and chargers.

The Swiffer SweeperVac is uber easy to put together. Chalk one up for Swiffer. That made me happy.

After the excruciating 18 hour wait, I was finally able to unplug my new little green machine, and just like that, away I went. The dust bunnies that collect in the corners of my stairs got vacuumed up straight away, "Wow, this is exciting--look at that!" It was as though those little dusties only just heard the painfully lound roar of this little hummer, and they seemed to just fly right into the thing. One up for dust bunny collecting, one down for noise level.

My glee turned sour just as quickly as I turned toward the tiny bits of cat food on the floor. "Hmmm, is it me, or is it the machine?" Those little bits about 3 to 4 mm each just would not come up. "And the website said bits of cereal, raisins..." certainly bits of cat food would come up wouldn't they? No apparently not. "Perhaps it has an allergy to cat food?"

So. I did my kitchen, my thirteen stairs, and barely my small entry way, and the little machine sadly ran out of battery power. 18 hours for 10 minutes of play. Well, maybe fifteen minutes when you count how long I attempted to pick up bits of kitty food in hopes that it would work, trying to perfect my sweep-vac technique!

This thing is almost worse than a dust buster. The only part of it that I ended up being impressed with was how well the Swiffer Sweeper rag that you put on exactly like the original Swiffer rag. That little rag sure picks up nice for just under fifty bucks!

One more positive for this particular Swiffer product; it is a good handle length for a tall person. Like me. I'm a little bit tall. Just a little bit. So I was happy about that. My back did not hurt after using it because of the long handle. Nice.

In my opinion, don't buy it until they've improved upon the battery charge time and the suck power. I'm sure they'll come out with an "ultra" version sometime down the road. Be patient for it. This vacuum doesn't suck, so it really sucks. A waste of money until it's improved.
