Swiffer Dusters Disposable Cleaning Dusters Refills



Swiffer Dusters Disposable Cleaning Dusters Refills, Febreze Lavender Vanilla & Comfort Scent, 16-Count (Packaging May Vary)

I love the way these dusters make my house smell, even when they are just sitting there. They capture the dust and hold on to it, so I don't have to re-dust as soon as I'm done. And the scent is just heavenly. Sometimes, I shake out a clean duster in the living room instead of spraying air freshener.

Bissell 2100 Sweeper



Bissell 2100 Sweeper

This sweeper makes for quick and easy clean up. I have a very furry pet and it is such a hassle to pull out the big vacuum several times a day; so this light weight sweeper comes in very handy for me because it picks up the clumps of dog fur quickly. It also quickly picks up pieces of dog food, etc., left on the kichen floor. The other thing I like is that the sweeper comes with a brush comb to easily keep the bottom brushes clean. This sweeper is a good product and is a low price.

Electrolux Ergorapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner



Electrolux Ergorapido Bagless Cordless Handheld/Stick Vacuum Cleaner, EL1014A

This cordless stick vac is lightweight, compact, and has an appealing design and color! It has a convenient base station, and has a built-in hand vac. The filter is easy to clean and has not only an easy to empty canister, but also a "twang" feature that helps you rid the filter of dust without soiling your hands. Awesome! The stick vacuum cleans my 850 square foot condo (all hardwoods) in a single charge, with charge to spare for using the hand vac on upholstery. (I haven't had to use it on carpet or in larger settings, so can't speak about it's performance there). It's compact, perfect for apartment-dwellers or for use in designated smaller areas of a larger home like kitchen, foyer, pet areas, etc. And frankly, I think it's adorable and LOVE the orange color - - very cheery when you're doing mundane work like vacuuming.

BISSELL FeatherWeight Vacuum, Bagless



BISSELL FeatherWeight Vacuum, Bagless, 3106B / 3106-1

My wife and I are very, very pleased with this lightweight vacuum cleaner. I should like to tell you how we came to buy it and why we are so happy with the purchase. As I stated, this Bissell model does a simply excellent job at its actual intended purpose: cleaning of bare floors and light touch-ups on carpets. So does the Eureka. Obviously, as we received these units just two days ago, we cannot comment on their longevity. Were the Bissell to fail prematurely, I would update this review. So, if you are considering buying one, both my wife and I give our wholehearted recommendation to this little Bissell unit (as well as to the Eureka model). I thank you for reading this and I hope that it is of some help to you.

Swiffer Sweeper Wet Mopping Cloths, Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner Refills, Febreze Lavender Vanilla & Comfort Scent, 12-Count


Swiffer Sweeper Wet Mopping Cloths, Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner Refills, Febreze Lavender Vanilla & Comfort Scent, 12-Count 

I use this to clean my small dorm room and it gets the job done. Not only does it pick up dust better than sweeping. It also leaves a nice clean smell behind. The only warning for this item is to make sure to keep it closed so the pads don't loose their moisture.

Sweeper Dry Sweeping Cloths Mop and Broom Unscented Floor Cleaner 48 Count



Sweeper Dry Sweeping Cloths Mop and Broom Unscented Floor Cleaner 48 Count

I'm not much of a cleaner but I like my home to look neat. Therefore, I rely heavily on my swiffer and swiffer wet-jet. I use both several times a week to maintain very dark hardwood flooring that tends to highlight even the slightest bit of dust. I find sweeping with a traditional broom to be very inefficient, whereas the swiffer is like a dust magnet. I just stick it blindly under my bed and swirl it around and it does a decent job of attracting most of the dust. Granted, that is sort of indicative of my cleaning style. With a swiffer, my house really looks like I'm a lot more meticulous than I actually am. I take it for a spin around the floors every few days and they look great. Once a week or so, I will follow that with some swiffer wet-jet action, but it definitely works better to use the regular swiffer first.

Swiffer 360 Dusters



Swiffer 360 Dusters

Like I said in my last Swiffer review, I RECYCLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BUT THESE ARE GREAT!! Sometimes you just need something extra to get at the hard to pick up stuff like little pieces of dirt or sand, dust, hair, etc. - WORKS AWESOME - BEEN USING FOR YEARS!! Amazon's SUBSCRIBE & SAVE Program is terrific!!

Swiffer Dusters, Refill



Swiffer Dusters, Refill

I got this through Amazon and it came as described, a 16-count box of refills for the Swiffer duster. They fit the Swiffer and do what they are supposed to, get dust.
I prefer these to a reusable duster due to my household having severe allergy sufferers. If we keep a reusable duster around it makes us sneeze when moving it around (as well as using it) and I can see it shaking off dust as I move around the house with it. I haven't noticed as much dust motes falling from the Swiffer duster when I walk around with it. I do have to go through two or three to dust my house (aprox. 1700sq. ft.), but I don't think it is unreasonable as I dust all the fan blades, the blinds, the baseboards and so on when I do dust. These dusters collect a great amount of dust before clumps start falling off, when they get overloaded I stretch out their use by shaking it out over our outside trash bin and reusing. I've found doing this gives about two extra uses.

Swiffer Sweeper 2 in 1 Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner Starter Kit



Swiffer Sweeper 2 in 1 Mop and Broom Floor Cleaner Starter Kit

You can use the dry dust cloths -OR- the wet cleansing cloths with this broom / mop.
The mop head pivots 180 degrees, allowing you to get under objects like your couch, and also for easy storage
The dust cloths pick up EVERYTHING, including dust you couldn't even see.
The cloths are easy to attach and detach and stay firmly attached while in use.
Nice price for a nice product (that dusts AND mops your floor, I might add).

Swiffer WetJet Pad Refill


Swiffer WetJet Pad Refill

I use my swiffer every other day and often daily. This is one of the best prices Ive found on the refill pads. I am very happy with the quality and ease of use. I would recommend this to anyone without any hesitation.

Swiffer WetJet Spray, Mop Floor Cleaner Starter Kit


Swiffer WetJet Spray, Mop Floor Cleaner Starter Kit (Packaging May Vary)

I have to say... I must be lucky or something. I have never had a problem with my swiffer wet jet -- except the time I put a pad on upside down... or should I say downside up :) I rarely fill out these review things, but I think only the angry are reviewing this product, so I had to write. I LOVE the product. It is true, you have to get up as much free roaming dirt and particulates as possible before using it. I use the regular swiffer first and a dustbuster occasionally (I bet the combo swiffer with the vacuum would work great).

Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner


Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

FIVE STARS. THE PERFECT VACUUM HAS ARRIVED.(Hoover Platinum Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum) I am a male homeowner (engineer) with a wife and 4 children and am a vacuuming nut. I actually modified TWO 7 year old eureka "theboss cordlesss upright vacuum" to use sears lithium batteries because the nickel cadmium batteries all other vacuums use are so poor. Then I found the hoover vac with linx or lithium batteries. WOW!!! I now have one of these on all 3 floors of our house. Talk about convenient and easy to use. The recharger is plugged in and ready and sits nearby. My wife and I love being able to just grab a lightweight vac whenever we want and just clean a spill made by our active toddler or vacuum a room when it needs it

BISSELL Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2



BISSELL Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2

This is a good little sweeper. I got it to sweep-up cat litter on low pile carpet between my vacuumings; and that it does. I esp. like the comb (included) that comes in handy when you're cleaning the bristles, it then attaches to the sweeper's pole so you don't loose it--nice feature, it's made of all 

Dyson DC35 Digitial Slim Multi floor cordless vacuum cleaner



Dyson DC35 Digitial Slim Multi floor cordless vacuum cleaner

I have used this thing nearly every day for three reasons: 1) It's just cool. 2) I am consistently amazed with the stuff it picks up. And let me tell you, we keep a clean house. That said, I dump the canister and just shake my head. 3) When something is easy to use, you're more likely to use it. Being cordless is just the way to go.
So by now you are sick of reading so let me just tell you that the Dyson gets two big thumbs up/5-stars from a hard-to-please, penny-pinching skeptic of a consumer.

BISSELL 1867 Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner



BISSELL 1867 Steam Mop Bare Floor Steam Cleaner

I admit it I finally bought something because I saw it on an infomercial and all I can say is that I am very impressed!! I have 2 dogs, a husband that works in the oilfield, me the messy cook, and I live in sandy red dirt west Texas. This thing can really handle it all. I also like how the mop pad also goes over my 1/4 round on the baseboards and gets them too.In addition I love that I don't have to immediatly leave the area after I have mopped because the fumes from the chemicals are so strong... as my experience was when I tried the swiffer wetjet. I had debated as to whether to get this with the Bissell CatchAll or to get the Hoover Floormate and so far I am very happy with the choice I have made.

Electrolux Cordless Quick-Up Clean



Electrolux Cordless Quick-Up Clean

I've researched cordless stick vacs and finally decided on this one. I just bought it a Target for [...] bucks. If you've done your due diligence and have looked at reviews of the Eureka Quick Up vacuums, know that this particular model only has one battery. Replacement batteries will run you 20 dollars and up. Earlier Eureka Quick Up models, at roughly the same price, came with two batteries.

Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner Refill, 128-Ounce




Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner Refill, 128-Ounce


If you take the time to talk to any professional Hardwood Floor people they will tell you NOT to use Murphy's oil soap or ANY soap of any kind on your hardwood. I have been using this product for years and it was suggested to me by the hardwood installers that installed my floors. Given they have nothing to gain by suggesting this product I didn't hesitate to try it. They are right. I buy it by the gallon and Amazon so far, has the best price. Don't hesitate to use this product if you want to maintain your hardwood properly and keep it looking great.

Buy from AMAZON

BonaKemi WM710013348 Hardwood-Floor Spray Mop with Replaceable Cleaner Cartridge



BonaKemi WM710013348 Hardwood-Floor Spray Mop with Replaceable Cleaner Cartridge

A fast and professional way to bring hardwood flooring to a gleaming shine, this ingenious spray mop refreshes dining rooms, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and other living spaces with simple ease. The mop comes equipped with a 28-3/4-ounce non-toxic hardwood-floor cleaner cartridge, whose Greenguard-certified formula offers an environmentally responsible cleaning option while leaving behind no gummy or dulling residue often deposited by traditional waxes and cleaners. Even more, its machine-washable microfiber cleaning pad works effectively on dirt, dust, and other debris, with gentle fibers that won't scratch or damage hard-floor surfaces. Simply squeeze the mop's hand trigger to release its cleaning spray, then run the mop across a wood floor or other sealed hard surface. The unit's ergonomic design and swiveling head ensure comfortable use, while its wide cleaning path makes quick work of rooms both large and small. The unit also provides a metal hanging hook for handy storage in a broom closet or pantry. The spray mop measures approximately 4 by 15 by 30 inches.

BISSELL PowerEdge Pet Hard Floor Vacuum, 81L2T



BISSELL PowerEdge Pet Hard Floor Vacuum, 81L2T

This Bissell Pet vacuum works even better than advertised! I highly recommend it to anyone I know who have pets. I have one Siberian Husky dog who can shed a small poodle amount of hair on any given day and a cat who sheds too. I have severe Osteoarthritis as well. This vacuum is the only one I can pick up and maneuver with ease on even my most painful days. It is easy to clean out. The suction is amazing! It really does get everything from under the cabinets and from around the legs of furniture and with no brissels involved I no longer have to clean the dog/cat hair off of brushes while trying to vacuum it all up. I really love this sweeper!
I even recommended it to my vetrinarian and the staff. So far two people have ordered this from amazon.com and love it as much as I do. I love how it has two windshield like rubber pieces instead of brissels so it just sucks up the hair from hardwood or other solid surface floors. It also sucks up the stuff that gets into the crevices of my congloleum and the grout spaces between tile. On carpeting it does get some of the lighter pet hair on top but to really get all of the pet hair out of some carpets and deeper pile rugs I still need my other bristle model.
This product is well worth the price and I will continue to highly recommend it to any pet owner

Neato XV-11 All Floor Robotic Vacuum System

I really like this robotic vacuum. It cleans a ridiculous amount of pet hair and dust from my carpet! I used a Roomba, which was fairly good but the drawback was it couldn't navigate to other rooms and back as well as the Neato does. The other drawback was it couldn't figure out how to get onto area carpets without the spinning brush on the front getting stuck. For the Neato, this is no problem at all. Instead of bouncing all around looking for light houses it will detect doorways and move from room to room in a more logical fashion.


Evolution Robotics Mint Automatic Hard Floor Cleaner, 4200

I must say, I'm impressed with the mapping system on this little guy. I have a very large (20'X20') open living room/kitchen area giving plenty of obstacles to confuse it. There's a staircase (which it deftly avoids), an island, a kitchen table with chairs, a couch and a number of tables for it to go under, an area rug and a piece of curved beveled glass on the floor that serves as a stand for a fireplace (which it surprisingly does not ride up on). Also, the room is overall "U" shaped with several entryways. This is the only robotic cleaner that has been able to figure this room out in its entirety. Other things to note is the room has a large fan and high, sloped ceilings and it can still find it's way.

Swivel Cordless Floor and Carpet Sweeper

I purchased this item knowing full well that I was taking a risk. What if it was NOT as grand as the infomercial made it out to be? Still, I'm somewhat limited physically (I'm an old bird, ok?) and I liked the idea of something lightweight to keep up with the little everyday messes at home. I share my home with two Chihuahuas and two cats. Enough said. Oh, and I live on a mountain...so "stuff" gets tracked in frequently.

This sweeper is phenomenal. I charged it up the day it arrived. After nearly two weeks of everyday use, and asking a LOT of it (cat litter, dog hair, lint, and some nails that got spilled long ago...) I find it is amazing for its size and weight. I have yet to re-charge the battery; it's still going strong. It goes everywhere, and sucks up everything effortlessly. I also love the little cleaning tool that came with it. I use it on my "regular" vacuum as well, to untangle the cat hair and such...why the big vac manufacturers haven't thought of this I don't know.

At any rate, this item is a winner. I have recommended it to everyone I know, particularly those who have pets. It's not perfect for heavy duty carpet cleaning, but on the other hand, I did use it to clean up my dogs' fleece bed after they crunched up a dry leaf all over it...guess what...it grumbled a bit, but it cleaned everything up. The easy empty feature is worth a lot to me too; and as I have arthritis, I appreciate not having to bend and crawl under furniture to sweep up.

Thank you Ontel for a wonderful wonderful product!


Original Swivel Sweeper 7.2 Volt Replacement Battery

The replacement battery makes the Swivel Sweeper more powerful than we ever remember it being originally. The key is to charge the new battery fully for no more than eight hours and then to NOT recharge it again until after it completely runs out of power. And then do not leave the recharger plugged in for more than eight hours. So we have had the new battery for over a month and only recharged it two or three times.
Before, we made the mistake of leaving the old battery plugged into the charger all the time.

Rubbermaid Reveal Spray Mop Kit, FG1M1600GRYRD

I am so in love with this mop, that's a funny thing to say, but it's true. I have used a good quality microfiber mop for years, and I have tried the cheap versions they sell in stores now days, don't waste your money on the cheap ones. I clean homes and a couple of churches and decided I needed to get more refills for my current microfiber mop. I also considered getting one of those Swiffer mops, then I saw the commercial for the Reveal Spray Mop. I did a little research on line, and read the reviews on it, I figured I'd give it a try.

I priced it here and on Rubbermaid's site, this is the better deal here on Amazon, you get the mop, 3 microfiber mop pads and 2 bottles, on Rubbermaid's site, you only get the mop, 1 pad and 1 bottle, plus you have to pay for shipping, get it here, much better deal



Eureka Quick-Up Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum with Bonus Filter, 96HX

I have been looking and looking for a cordless sweeper I could use in my kitchen and on my steps. They all were not powerful enough. Until I found this one. It picks up everything and the battery never dies, and if it would they provide you with a second one! It was a little hard to find, but that just told me it was a great product. Trust me buy it, you will love it!!



Eureka 60776 Vacuum Battery Pack

Overpriced, but works as advertised. I use this Product with a portable vacumn. It maintains a steady power delivery in the 6 volt range for a reasonable period of continous use. The battery pack functions well, delievering good performance, with a reasonable battery life. Came off the charger at 6.14volts and held charge off of charger for well over two weeks. These batteries will develope "memory" where the performance drops off drasticically. This be easily rememedied by completely draining battery, and then placing on charger for about 24 hours. This Product should not be left on charger in "Stand-by" mode. I will certainly purchase this product again.

Cordless Swivel Sweeper - Original As Seen on TV by Swivel Sweeper

I have now owned the product for six months. I have nothing to change in my review. I am surprised that people are having so many problems with this product. My unit still works fine; the battery holds a charge; the pole has not broken; the handle has not broken. Maybe my unit is not typical. However, you do need to have realistic expectations for this product. The Swivel Sweeper is not a new revolutionary cleaning apparatus worthy of a patent (as the info commercial implies). It is just an electric sweeper for quick clean ups. If you want the thorough results that a vacuum provides--use a vacuum.


Swiffer SweeperVac Rechargeable Cordless Vacuum Starter Kit (Packaging May Vary)

I'd like to give 3 and a half stars, but since I don't have the option, I put 3. This product isn't bad - it is a good way to give a quick touch up on our tile floors. It's definitely less work than a broom, but is not quite as effective as I had hoped. We have a fairly large tiled area, and with 3 people (including 1 teenager) and 3 cats, there's a lot of dust, hair and crumbs on the floor. The sweeper did okay with the dust and hair, but the vacuum is only so-so on what it picks up. It would not pick up kitty kibble crumbs, for instance. A whole piece of cereal will not get vacuumed up, while a crushed piece of cereal probably will. The key to this product is to use it often - if the floor gets too dirty, it's too much for this product to handle. But for quick every day maintenance, it beats getting out the broom for sure.
