3.0 out of 5 stars Not so great for carpet, but nice on hard floors, February 1, 2006

I am a big fan of Swiffer products. I use the Wet Jet and Dusters almost daily. When I saw this item at the store, I was skeptical. It didn't really look like it would work that good. But it was on sale, so I bought it. I put it together (pushing the pole together was kind of hard) fairly easily. I inserted the cartridge. (My house mainly has laminate hard wood floors and just a little carpet. I bought the Flick for in between vacuumings.) I rolled it along the carpet and it really didn't pick up that much. I tried it on the laminate though and it picked up all the dust and crumbs that my toddler had made during his recent snack. (Note: the box says not to use on hard wood or laminate floors.) It worked really well on the laminate, similar to a broom. The bottom has two small 'brushes' that would stop it from scratching the floor, so I am not sure why the box advises against using it on that type of flooring. Overall, this is not that great of a product for carpet. I like it for my other flooring though. If you have a broom and a vacuum though, I wouldn't waste any more money just to have the Flick.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for what it is designed to do, September 7, 2006

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Product!, October 23, 2005

You're better off buying a roll of masking tape, putting it over your hand, and patting down the floor - That's all THIS Product does. Honestly, all it does it run a sticky pad over your carpet. I use it on a TINY dorm carpet, and the cartridges fill up in less than 15 seconds. Seriously, they do.

After buying this product, I think the CEO of Swiffer owes me an apology. Not only should he apologize to me, he should personally come to my dorm room and throw it away for me. It isn't even worth my time to walk to a trashcan.
