bit-tech Shopping: Swiffer Sweep+Vac Vacuum

Rating: 4

Time with product: 5 Months

Strengths: Easy to maneuver around furniture and under furniture. Great for small quick clean ups.

Weaknesses: 16 hours is too long for charging. My new Swiffer will not hold a charge for more than 5 minutes. Wouldn't you think that 16 hours of charge would produce more battery time?

Summary: I have a lot of porcelain tile to vacuum. If I were rich I would have 3 of them to take over when one of them runs out of battery charge. It's very discouraging to have to quit in the middle of vacuuming.

Strengths: Light weight, Cleans well, No Cord.

Weaknesses: Must be Charged, No way to tell battery life, Not as strong as normal vacuum.

Summary: I bought this for my mother and she loves it for cleaning the wood floors. It does a great job of picking up small debris , it is light weight, and stores easily. It is a bit pricey at about $30 but not bad. I would reccommend

Time with product: 1 Months

Strengths: Suction was surprisingly strong. It even picked up larger pieces that I did not expect it to!

Weaknesses: Battery dies very quickly and then must be charged 16 hrs.

Summary: I have 3 little kids and pets, thus lots of messes on my hard floors. I started using the sweeper and it was great but less than 10 minutes later, the battery was completely drained. I had charged as directed for 24 hrs before using. I called customer service and was told I was using the product incorrectly. He told me that the normal charge would only last 10 minutes and then it must be charged agin for 16 hrs. He told me to sweep the dirt into a pile and THEN turn on the sweeper to suction the dirt up. I had been leaving it on like a vacuum. I decided to keep the product, because it does pick up well when charged. I am just disappointed that I can't leave it turned on while using, as the other way takes much longer...

Time with product: 3 Weeks

Strengths: Easy to use and light-weighted

Weaknesses: Loud and flimsy

Summary: First of all, do not expect this to replace your AC-powered stick vac or something. This rechargeable stick vac doesn't have such a great suction. But do expect it to make you significantly easier to sweep your floor. Small particles and dust will stick to its sweeping cloth while larger materials such as hairs and cookie crumbs will be sucked into the vac. You will never need to bend your back to pick up the dustpan. Its rotating head makes it really maneuvable. However, its stick is relatively flimsy and it's really loud. Also, the cost for the sweeping cloths and the filters needs to be taken into account. Overall, it has made my sweeping job much easier than before.
