So, so good. Throw your Swiffer away!
This is a great product. I did not know how much I needed this until I had it.
Through trial and error, I've basically tried every floor cleaning solution that is not this product. String mops, sponge mops, Swiffers, and the Swiffer wet-jet thing. They all fall short in some way (or in every way for some of them). This product is all of those things combined, but better.
It's a Swiffer that you don't have to buy pads for. It's a mop that you don't have to buy floor cleaner for, or change water for. It's that wet-jet nonsense, but it cleans better, and PICKS DIRT UP instead of turning it into mud and pushing it around.
I was skeptical when my wife ordered this. The first time I used it, I became a believer. The steam thing is not a gimmick. Fill it up with distilled water (I was warned sternly not to use tap water), and it's ready to go. It heats up faster than the hot water on the sink, cleans better that whatever floor cleaner or Swiffer baby wipe you can buy, it dries much faster, and then you just toss the pad in the laundry and reuse it. I wish everything worked this well.
This isn't a vacuum, and this isn't a broom. You should sweep the floor, at least half-assedly, beforehand. That's true with all of the other products too. I'm lazy, and I don't sweep every time. I put my hand flat on the floor, and if there are no more than three visible pieces of stuff stuck to my hand when I look at it, I skip the broom and go right to the Shark. Please don't tell my wife.
