Swiffer Sweeper Vac

Weak
Definitely don't pay the $116 shown here! It's not worth it. That's way over priced! I bought mine for around $40 and even at that it wasn't really worth it. This vac is good for picking up pet hair in small spaces and that's about it. It is good for that, better than sweeping up pet hair with a broom, which tosses it all around. That's the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1. Other that hair, though, it is too weak to pick up anything else, even common floor dirt like a grain of sand, a fir needle, or bit of leaf. And don't expect to be able to use it for the whole house. The fully charged battery will only last about 5 minutes. I'm not exaggerating. I have about 1200 sq ft of hardwood and tile floors and, even if I rush, I cannot get them all done before the battery runs down. It's not because it's old. It's been that way since it was brand new. Even the fact that the battery runs down quickly wouldn't be so bad if it would charge back up quickly too. But it takes a whole...

Great for small cleanup
The Swiffer vac is great for picking up dust, hair, grass, and other light weight dirt off the floor. I use it daily for "touch up" cleaning, like crumbs around kitchen table, stuff walked in on the foyer floor, etc. It is so much easier (and better) than the old kitchen broom and dust pan. Also don't need to take out the vacuum cleaner just to clean up crumbs or spilled ground coffee, sugar, flour, etc.

It is not a substitute for a traditional vacuum cleaner. It has a small capacity for dirt, can not pick up heavier objects such as grit/cinders, and long things tend to not get sucked in. The on/off button is on the motor housing, not on the top of the handle where it would be convenient. And there is a small filter inside that needs to be replaced periodically.

If you are looking for a substitute for a broom and dust pan, this is perfect. If you want to vac the whole house, get a vacuum cleaner.

does not last
this is a great product if it would just last longer then a year keeping it charged kills batery life much sooner.
