How do these compare to the swiffer in terms of level of cleaning? and picking up small particles?

I have not and do not use a swiffer so I am unable to provide an answer to your question. I can tell you that I vacuum my hardwood floor prior to cleaning and then use Bona hardwood floor cleaner with the BonaKemi microfiber cleaning pad. I feel it cleans the floor and doesn't appear to leave any particles (at least not that I can see). You do need to make sure you rinse the cleaning pad while cleaning and throw it in the washing machine to keep it clean (this will also avoid having streaks next time you use it). Hope this helps.

In general I use these more as a "mop" after using the swifter vac to dust off the floors. It leaves the floors shiny and clean. I use it with the Bona solution.

I love this product. I vacuum first then I use the pad with the cleaner. I have not used a swiffer before and this cleaner doesn't leave any film on the floor.

I cannot directly answer your question. I can tell you that our cleaning woman whose had years of experience refused to work for us unless we bought it.

If you are doing dry sweeping, use the Bona microfiber dusting pad. I used to use a swiffer, and can't believe how much more I pick up with the bona. I still use a small brush and dustpan for picking up the larger crumbs that don't stick to the duster's surface. Also, it's washable, so no more swiffer cloths going to the landfill. I use this microfiber cleaning pad when I am wet mopping. I sweep first, so there isn't much for this to pick up.

These microfiber pads are for use with hardwood floors with Bona spray cleaner (either in a separate spray bottle or with the Bona mop that you attach the special spray refill bottles and spray by using button on the handle). I have 5 of these pads for my Bona mop and that way I can change frequently and wash them all at once. I use Swiffer for dry sweeping only. I like these Bona pads because the Bona mop is soooo easy to use with them.

they are good for dusting on cabinets and hold up very good but have not tried on swiffer mop. This product is very strong and I would recommend for any kind of house cleaning except washing or cleaning dishes.

It works fine, but to do the job properly, we use a Swiffer. The vacuum will clean up just fine, but to remove dirt, etc., the Swiffer is designed to do that better.

If you are referring to a Swiffer wet jet, they are too different kinds of mops, I use the big wooly for dust and dog/ cat hair. I use the Swiffer for wet cleaning. the big wooly is a dry mop

The one pictured is the one I bought and threw in the trash with in one month. Absolute junk. And then the battery craps out for good in three weeks. You mush have used yours only on hard surfaces once a month. For the same money I a bought a Bissell Perfect Sweeper that weighs twice as much as Swiffer and is actually a quality product. there is no comparison.

It is so much better than a Swiffer and if you make your own cleaning solution, WAY cheaper in the long run. I have been using my pad (one that came with it and another I realized I needed while the other was waiting to be laundered) that I've used for 3 years (once a week user for whole house). They are both in great condition and will be useful for quite a while longer. The fact that it is taller than the Swiffer and doesn't require disposable products to use it will save a lot of $$$!

You should sweep or dry mop the floor first to remove any dirt/debris before you use the Swiffer/Bissel because it simply ejects steam to clean the floors and doesn't suction, but the results are worth it!

In my opinion this is much better than Swiffer! Take it outside and shake to remove dust, washable, and in the long run way less expensive than buying Swiffer refills. This mop picks up everything. Just like the one my Mom had when I was a kid! Another good thing about "the good old days"!

Sorry, James, we don't know the difference between the two models. We can tell you that ours cleans very well, but does NOT hold a charge. We need to charge the machine before and after each use to keep it reliably available whenever we need a quick clean-up...don't know if that's true in general or if it's a quirk of our particular sweeper.

I love a swiffer to get to all those places I can't reach. Th Wool Dry Mop is "gangbusters" for my wooden floors. It does a great job picking up the dust, and not moving it around.Elliot

I think it works great for that... Better than a feather duster or swiffer duster... A little swipe and it sucks it right up... I use this on my little root 6 (the dyson handheld) and love it. Fast and easy and effective.

No doubt a swiffer or dust mop after vacuuming is ideal, but it depends on how fussy you are.

I think it's way Better than my Swifer. This surprised me. I think it's the material..attracts micro particles Better.

It's as good as it gets in terms of a lightweight sweeper. Does fairly well on pet hair, small stuff. Swivel motion is nice and easy to empty.

these wipes work better at "speading around" than "absorbing". These would work well probably for a swiffer (if you can find a way to attach them) for buffing or waxing or picking up lint/dirt, but not for mopping as it wouldn't pick up much liquid.

Yes, it is better because the MOP HEAD is made of a Micro fiber and particles get stuck in it. I just sweep first, no need to bring out the vacuum cleanerI have a wonderful broom from Europe with horse hair-fantastic! Have fun mopping!

I have the DC 47, used it twice, good for small jobs and really bought it for quick clean ups so I don't have to lug the big one up and down the stairs. The head is very small so can't cover as wide an area as full size. Plenty of suction, and does well on carpets removing pet hair. Moves easily, lightweight so easy to hold it with one hand (like on the stairs) and vac with the other hand. Tools clamp onto the hose pipe, easy to detach and replace. Can't say anything negative about it except for the small head/brush.
