Does anyone have one? Is it worth it? We have all wood and ceramic tile in our main level, so I am using the broom constantly. I don't care for the regular swiffers, but the wet mops are ok. Opinions???

TIA, Chrissy

I had one, liked it the first time I used it and then grew to HATE it! The battery charge only holds 8-14 minutes, so unless you're zippy fast, it won't make the whole floor on one charge, and if you're like me and accidently set it to charge while it's on, you'll ruin the battery and maybe only get 3-5 minutes out of the charge.


What I went and got is the Hoover Floor Mate. It dry vacuums, wet scrubs, and wet vacuums. You can do the dry and then flip it to wet, it's FABULOUS!!

Thanks for the input on the swiffer, I've looked at it a million times and went back & forth on whether to buy it or not.

I have one and I LOVE IT!!! As for the charging issues mentioned by others - you HAVE to charge it at least 24 hours before you use it the first time or it will never hold a charge. I got one for Christmas from my parents (they have one and I wanted one too). My best friend has one (on my recommendation - and loves her too!) I use mine at least 6 times before I need to charge it. And I do not buy the Swiffer brand cloths - I use the Walmart brand and when the one side gets dirty I turn it over and use the other side.

I totally recommend it and will never be without mine!
