How does this compare to the wetjet swiffer sweeper? Which one is faster to get the job done?

The Twist & Shout does NOT leave any residue after use. Take a damp paper towel and wipe the cleaned floor after using the Swiffer Sweeper and see if the floor is truly clean. I have used the Swiffer products and found that most left something behind. I have not used the wetjet Swiffer Sweeper. It may work for you. Hope this helps.

well of course you have to put water in the bucket but the mopping itself is very quick and its niice to be able to rinse off the mop once in a while with the swiffer you just keep mopping with the same dirty pad

Per the recommendation of the man who refinished my hardwood floors, I only use vinegar and water on those floors so in that regard this is better than a swifter product. Overall, this is a tremendous product and in the end will be a money saver since you use the product/quantity/reuse the mop head. I mopped a 20 x 20 ' room taking care around rug and fur iture I about ten minutes and I didn,'t have to vacuum the floor before mopping because it picks everything up and the spinner removes it. Buy it!!

Just ordered the SI-35R myself! It came today with the pads (2), the resting tray, and the carpet tray. It is so awesome! The feel of a swiffer without the residue on my floors. Also, it has a hook at the top to hang in a closet when cool. I actually purchased four extra pad because I heard they got saturated quickly. I used one pad on two bathrooms (even cleaning toilet tops and tubs) it was fine. You will not be dissapointed. (Yes, the only difference is the color. The "R" afterwards indicates color.)

It is similar but the mop part is bigger and the material is a thicker cloth. I actually vacuum or use the dry Swiffer prior to mopping with the Bona just to get up all of the loose debris. Then you just spray the Bona on the floor and mop away!

Roomba cleans much better but costs more. I have run them side by side (Roomba 650 next to the MR6550) and for picking up dog hair and dirt the Roomba does a noticeably better job. Same with paper shreddings.

I would buy the Bissell Sweeper. It works really well, for in between clean up. It's great with the dog hair...am very pleased with it.

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

I would not use Swiffer Wet Jet on ANY type of wood floor. It leaves a horrible smeary coating that is impossible to remove. I have mopped with hot water, Bona floor cleaner and finally had to use mineral spirits on a rag to get it off. Now my floors look dull! Don't do it!

I always make the assumption with wood floors that they have polyurethane for sealing and any waxing that needs to be done - I did myself. The Swiffer product really is more for general maintenance then it is for FULL cleaning of the wood floors. When I wanted my floors done fully I would buy the BRUCE HARDWOOD floor product available for a Home Depot or Lowe's. Then, in between cleanings and on a regular basis, I would use the Swiffer WetJet Wood Product for dust and general cleaning.

I just bought one and the difference is the type of scrubbing brush the model comes with. I know this because I read the manual. Yes, someone did read the manual. Each model only comes with one brush.got mine from Walmart it was cheaper and works wonderful. Sure beats the Cinderella method.

I canyt compare the two as I only have the steam and sweep. It worked great until my wife broke it. The main thing is to make sure that you dont use hard water. The sediment collects in the steamer and clogs it up and if you are not smart enough to realize this you will burn up your steamer running it clogged.

I have had both. You can read my reviews; five stars for Bissell and one for Hoover. Not only is the Hoover lower grade plastic, but it also has a computer which malfunctions after a number of uses. Bad design!

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.

I cannot compare to the Weed Eater mentioned, as I do not have it. However the B&D; LSW36 is excellent and I am in my second year of use. Does a great job on sidewalks, two proches I have, two car garage floor and driveway areas. Really clears off debris, unless wet grass and then I am not sure any but an industrial gas blower would move wet grass.

Don't have a swifter, but this is the last cleaner you will buy. They have Velcro backing that connects to the "mop"... You clean then take it off & wash it in laundry. We had one at preschool that was well used & is worth buying the mop & cleaning pad kit. U won't be dissapointed

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.

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.
