Product Reviews of Swiffer Carpet Flick Carpet Sweeper Starter Kit , 1 kit
Product Review: Good for very small jobs.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this so that it would be easier to clean up after my cats instead of taking out the vaccume every time. It works on small stuff like Cat litter and sometimes on cat food but not on anything bigger than that. Doesn't trap much hair at all. The thing I was dissapointed in was that the catch tray was much too small for the jobs I need to do. My cats spill a fair amount of litter around their boxes and are messy with their food. I have to change the pick up pad once or twice just to clean up all the stuff that ends up on the floor. It's pretty much better just to get out the vaccume and do the job that way. I think they could improve this product by allowing larger items to be caught up in the catch tray and making the catch tray a bit larger.Product Review: Good for what it is designed to do
Summary: 4 Stars
When you buy this product, you have to be certain that your expectations are properly set. It is not a vacuum cleaner and won't pull dirt out of a carpet. It isn't even a traditional carpet sweeper with rotating brushes that lift hair and surface dirt into a chamber for emptying.
What the Carpet Flick is good at is picking up surface dirt and litter. It has no moving parts, so it depends on (1) rolling over litter that sticks up above the surface of the carpet, or (2) having litter that is light enough so that the small internal "breeze" that moving the unit back and forth causes is enough to flick the dirt into the upper container.
I have used this unit extensively since I purchased it. I can truthfully say that it does a wonderful job in cleaning up a tremendous amount of environmental "stuff." Compared to a small Casabella brand carpet sweeper which I had used before I bought this product, the Carpet Flick does a much better job.
I am very happy with the product, even though I recognize that it will not ever replace a good vacuum clearner (or even a well-built, full-sized carpet sweeper). So keep your eyes open and your expectations calibrated when you hit the "Buy" button with this product.
Product Review: This thing is horrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
This thing is horrible. Cumbersome to use and does nothing. I have to swiffer over and over again and crud is still on the floor. It removes a little bit of dirt but doesn't actually clean a rug/carpet. I'm giving it one star because Amazon won't let me rate it -0.Product Review: Perfect for what it is!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product to use in my (seldom vacuumed) office. It is great at picking up the dirt, crumbs, staples, paper clips, and general fuzzies that accumulate. I don't ask the world of it, but have been VERY pleased with the results. It was easy to put together, is easy to load and change the sticky cartridges, and does a great job!Product Review: great for the cat mess!
Summary: 4 Stars
Context:
1. I bought this CarpetFlick in the mind of cleaning the area rug in the living room of my hardwood floored apartment, between major vacuum tasks...
2. There's a coffee table on the area rug which the vacuum just CANNOT get under...
3. I have a litterbox in the living room and my cat is a big fan of digging... so i have litter everywhere 24/7
4. I'm a HATER of the vacuum noise and have trouble using a regular vacuum cuz i'm too petite.
Pros:
1. Picks up ALL the litter, BETTER than the vacuum, just in one go.
2. No need to bend down using this thing
3. No stupid electric cables
4. Totally Silent
5. Extremely light and manuverable
6. Can finally clean under the coffee table without lifting it and moving it to another place (it's a 6'x3' solid wood coffee table and i'm petite)
7. I actually had fun and felt wonderful gliding this thing on the rug and see the litter disappear!
8. As a bonus (out of my main buying purpose) it lifted so other junk (hair/food crumbs)on the carpet too!
Cons:
1. Cartiridges might be expensive (but totally worth it for the effort i save with the regular vacuum)
2. Seeing how good it is on the area rug on the first run, I went into the room and try to use it after my bf spray-dusted the insides of computers where black dust bunnies are lying around. nothing happened. (but i wasn't expecting it to anyways)
