Swiffer Carpet Flick

Anybody got one of these? I HIGHLY recommend it if you have cat litter on the carpet! I have had mine for quite a while, and LOVE it. I don't have to drag the vacuum cleaner out to get the litter up, and it picks up quite a bit. I honestly don't remember the last time I used my vacuum.

Just wanted to pass along something that makes being a slave to cats a little easier!

is it easier to use on carpet than say a dust buster for little messes??? i was thinking of getting another dust buster the next time i get paid...but i might have to try one of those carpet flicks if they work well! how expensive are they?

I have one, and I really like it- but I keep forgetting to buy the little pad things... It really works well with litter and little messes around the house tho!

It works really well. Mine cost about $13 to buy and its $5.99 for refills (but thats canadian). They are not expensive at all and I really like it.

I don't have carpet. Just an area rug in the living room so I am ALWAYS sweeping

I have one that I keep by Forest's litterbox to clean up what he kicks out. It works great! Sometimes he kicks out more than that little sticky pad is up to, though.

I have one, and I hate it. I have one area rug and hardwood floors for the rest, so I thought I could just use the carpet flick and not have to bother to get a vacuum. Turns out that it doesn't get much cat hair out of my rug, and I spent most of my time on my hands and knees with packing tape trying to pick up as much as I could whenever I was having guests over. Now I've got a vacuum and am much happier.

Nah, it seems gimmicky to me..although, I don't actually mind vacuuming

Does it work on hard wood floors?

I don't know if it works on hardwood floors....I doubt it will. Maybe not enough friction. I also don't think I get lots of cat hair up, but the cat litter? It works great for that. I bought a 12-pack of refills, and have been using it occasionally for months. The refills I found for $3 at Home Depot of all places! Usually when I neglect the carpet, I will just get the vacuum out, but this last time I decided to see what all the carpet thing could do. It took one full pad, and part of another, but it looked like I had vacuumed.
