Oh ye of little faith....

I received a couple comments asking to see my Swiff in action. I can sense there are other doubters out there as well. So here you go.

The Swiffer Vac. Cordless. Light. as. a. broom.

For your viewing pleasure:

Facts:

• my whole apartment is hardwood
• Porter is beginning to eat finger foods = total mess.
• I did the baby heimlick on Porter at least 3 times and the finger sweep at least 15 times before I finally bought this thing.
• sweeping should be easy
• for some reason it involves to many steps and I avoid it (now you don't have to wonder why my child kept choking)
• I bought it. I. luf. it.

Swiffer Facts:

• It's cordless and has a 14v battery. Not meant for a large house with lots of hardwood/tile. More like small areas - kitchen and dining area.
• It has a small dirt - in my case, baby cereal - catcher and filter. I need to empty it about every 3-4 times I vacuum. (it's easy - a button releases it, poor in garbage, snaps back on)
• It has a spot for the swiffer dry clothes and mop cloth, but I just keep the same dry cloth on it. With the vacuum, I don't feel the need to change the dry cloth all the time, so recurring costs are kept down.
• I read a couple reviews on-line about the motor burning out and the product was removed from some stores. In my opinion, possibly due to people not cleaning/changing the filter frequently. (hey, if this baby works for 6 months, it will be well worth the $35 I paid for it)
• I got mine at drugstore.com

And there you have it. Please stay tuned for a word from our other sponsors.....

I admit it. Falling in love with oven cleaner was a stretch (I love to have it on hand, but it's stinky). But magic erasers + my Swiff = magic.
