How does this compare to the swiffer swivel sweeper in how good it works (not features)? Thanks

I think it works great. Had mine for several years now and use it several times a week. Not sure how it compares to the stiffer but I would buy this one again. If that helps.

This doesn't pick up fine dust as the swiffer. We owned the Bissell before and this unit is noisier and doesn't hold a charge as long. I like that you can take from hardwood to carpet, but this unit doesn't have very strong power on the carpet as the Bissell. Corners and edges can also be a problem.

Yes it does, I clean my house and my sister's entire house with the sweeper and it works wonderfully. I first bought as a gift to my sister, and after I use at her house I bought 1 for me and 1 for my daughter.

I find it is pretty good at picking up small items- if yoou need to get close the hand held is better and can pick up more items as the sweeper is limited in the size that can go through. It is a powerful little handy vac!

The suction is so good on carpets that I've had to beef up my arm strength to pull it along. It does not come with a beater brush, you might want to check if they are sold separately. It cleans carpets well enough that i have never felt the need to purchase one. It is controlled by suction, but the suction is high power, just keep it in good repair, as you would with any other vacuum. This vacuum is great for cleaning large areas with ease, it is not really a deep cleaning vac. If you're looking for something like that you may want to look for a push vac. However, if you would like a good quality vac that can will aid in cleaning areas well with ease this will work.

I have never used the Shark but I really like the Swiffer it does a great job on our stained concrete floors. The pros are that the card is really long so you aren't constantly having to change plugs all the time. The only con is that you have to continuously press the steam button and can get a little uncomfortable if you are doing large spaces.

Last Christmas, we bought the 780-which works great. However, I have long blonde hair and it would tangle around the rollers. The 780 comes with a cleaning tool, so that you can easily cut it off...but it was kind of annoying. I ended up taking it to work and bought the new 880 for the house. We also have dogs at the house. The 880 is AWESOME. It's virtually maintenance free, with the exception of emptying out the collection tray. It also is a lot quieter than the 780. Overall, the rubber rollers seem to pick up a lot more dirt, dust, and dog hair than the 780 did...and I would compare the 780 to the effectiveness of our Dyson Ball vacuum (yes, I know, I have purchased a lot of vacuums... I am kind of OCD like that!) Overall, I would highly suggest the 880 over the 780 iRobot. It simply works better.

The one power head. I am not sure if the other smaller power head did come w/ it. I bought the whole kit also along w/ the accessories. The hardwood floor one has a swivel head which is ok. You can use the power head for any floors. There is a thing you can hold on top of the handle to regulate the suction. Hope this helps. I love this sweeper. Every time I use it I wonder if all those years I used my old one that I ever got anything up.

The motion seems to give an extra cleaning boost.that's the only difference I know of .Hope it helps!

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!

I personally prefer it to the swiffer on a laminate floor. It corrals the dirt into one spot instead of attaching it to the pad. I hope that helps. I really liked the product.

I like it much better. I think it does a better job cleaning the floor including picking up dog hair. I used to change the Swiffer pad several times while dust mopping, with Big Wooly can do all my wood floors before shaking it. I can do the job quicker and better.

I agree the Pet Hair Eraser is great has worked better than any other vaccum I have owned and I have had several the latest being oreck which a first i really liked but after awhile it did not preform so well. So I got the bissell and like I said it is great!

I have had both. The newer model actually lasted less time than the older models. I did not see any advantage in cleaning.

I own a Dyson DC23 and it works extremely well on my carpets. As for tiles and hardwood floors, it doesn't clean them as well as it does on my carpets. I end up using a "Swiffer" Sweeper 2-in-1 mop and broom for the hardwood, and Tersano cloth pads (which fit the Swiffer) for the tiles in my kitchen. This Dyson is decent enough for stairs as it can sit "tilted" between the stairs--you just need to be able to lift it up by the handle one stair at a time.

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 $$$!

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 asked my wife and she says it works good on floors but not so good on rugs. We're kind of disappointed with the Dyson period. The main unit with beater has great suction but is hard handle on rugs unless you have a lot of strength which some women don't have.
