Easy assembly, sub-par cleaning

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Swiffer Sweeper, and was excited to check out whether it would help with the day-to-day cleaning of my house.
I give the Swiffer a big thumbs up on its packaging and ease of assembly. There wasn't too much wasteful packaging material, and fitting all the pieces of the Sweeper together was quick and simple. I will also say that the construction of the unit felt relatively solid, where I wasn't afraid of it easily breaking under normal use conditions.
My big challenge with the Sweeper is its relatively lackluster cleaning ability. I pride myself on having a clean home, despite having two larger dogs that obviously shed a fair measure. When I used the "duster" pads, I felt like the Sweeper did well for a few pushes and collected the dust and hair well. After these first few pushes, I felt like all I was doing is pushing around dust and hair, because the pad would not collect more dust/hair. I took this as a sign to swap out the dusty pad with a new pad, and continued this process of marginal cleaning, and swapping in a new dust pad. Four pads later, I felt like I adequately cleaned ONE room of my house, which felt like an absolute waste of material (so many used dust pads that will now fill up my trash). Frankly, I would much rather use my traditional broom and dust pan because then I'm not feeling like I've been so wasteful.
Not to make this review TOO long, I feel like I had a similar experience with the wet mopping pads. I got some initial, decent cleaning out of the pad, but felt like I was constantly needing new pads at a rate that felt wasteful.
All-in-all, I would have a tough time recommending this product to someone that has a larger home to clean. I also feel like I would not recommend this product to someone with pets, because the cleaning capability just simply won't match that of a good broom and vacuum combination. I do still applaud the Sweeper's ease of assembly and packaging, but that's the only reason I gave this product more than one star.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who knew my floor was so dirty? Swiffers do a great job! They have ridges that get into crevices...We have a wood laminate floor and they got all the dirt and even picked up dog hair! Wow!!

Love the dry cloths

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to finally try the swifter sweeper as 95% of my house is tile and I have 5 animals . Putting it together took no time at all and didn't require instructions which was nice . I pushed it through the kitchen and living room with the help of my 2 year old which I loved that she was able to help and she enjoyed pushing it through the house . When we stopped and I looked at the cloth I was shocked and horrified at how filthy my seemingly clean floors were . It picked up so much dog hair !!! To do my whole house I would have to use a few of the cloths but I don't really mind since it's super convenient . Now what I didn't like was the wet cloths , it was harder to put on and they just don't stay wet for very long , making them only useful for small areas ( like a bathroom ) to do my whole house it just wouldn't be worth it . And in the instructions it says to flip the cloth but I found that to be useless , and a pain to do . When I would go to flip it the cloth was practically dry and didn't work properly. I plan to continually buy the sweeper replacements but I wouldn't purchase the wet cloths .

Swiffer is Super

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This easy, handy wet/dry mop is great for cleaning up quick spills. Only gave four stars because it isn't for deep cleaning. However, for pet or kid spills this works great!

OK for quick clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Swiffer Sweeper is a great, convenient product for quick clean ups. It will superficially clean very well and is quick to use, perfect for right before guests come over (or after my kids spill something.) I use a more traditional mop for deep cleaning, but this came in very handy for keeping things looking good in between those deep cleanings. I received a sample starter kit to try, but will definitely be purchasing the refill kits to continue using the Swiffer. When using the wet sheets, I was surprised at just how much gunk they did clean up, definitely surpassing my expectations! Highly recommended for under the dining table after young children have eaten!

A Clean Easy Sweep
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: huntsiekfind
from Newport, WA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am impressed with the product. It is easy to use, easy to store and does a great job. The dry cloth really traps the dirt and leaves the floor ready for the finishing touch. After the wet cloth my floor was shining. The clothes are easy to put on and the unit is easy to store. It only took one pass to do each of the steps. I definitely recommend this product.

Swiffer Sweeper Floor Sweeper Mop
on December 9, 2016
Posted by: chrystina24
from Bradford, PA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Swiffer Floor Sweeper Mop is super light and easy to assemble right out of the box! Attaching the wet or dry pads is simple and they stay on tight during use. I found that I needed two wet pads to clean my kitchen floor, which is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. However, the dry pads made quick work of my dusty, pet hair covered wood floors. The Swiffer Sweeper Floor Sweeper Mop can easily replace your traditional dust mop and wet mop in one lightweight solution!
