Customer Reviews of Swiffer Carpet Flick Carpet Sweeper Starter Kit , 1 kit
Customer Review: This is one terrible product.
Summary: 2 Stars
This is one terrible product. Very expensive because the little sticky pick up fillers fill up FAST even if you have a clean house. The refills are hard to find. Cute if you want a kid to help you behind your vaccum. Boo I have gave it a 2 because of the exercise you get from having to go over a spot over and over and over. D-Customer Review: It picked up a lot - even stuff we didn't know was on the floor!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this last night and was extremely surprised at how well it worked! It picked up a lot - even stuff we didn't know was on the floor!! It also got up my hair, which is excellent. I could see the disadvantage of it versus a vacuum for large areas, but its perfect for my apartment. I wish I had one when I was a college student living in the dorms! :)Customer Review: This is a great prouduct.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a play center in the basement. The carpet is berber and it is very shaggy. It works Great all through the house. This is a great prouduct. If I were you I'd buy it.Customer Review: Not only should he apologize to me...
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: The easiest aspect of using the Swiffer CarpetFlick is removing the dirty sheet.
Summary: 2 Stars
The Swiffer CarpetFlick is a nifty orange contraption for using around the house; designed to be used only on carpeting for quick pickups of dirt, grass, glitter, fuzz, leaves and crumbs.
The parts are neatly organized inside a box with the pole pieces individually wrapped in plastic. While it was easy to gather the pieces, the directions on placing the pole together were hidden inside the base of the sweeper. After pulling it out I still could not follow without step-by-step directions, which are lacking with the Swiffer CarpetFlick.
The top and bottom pieces were easy to spot through the five small images in the instruction sheet, yet there was nothing showing how this gets assembled. The middle two pole sections were the ones I had problems with. It appears that the two small buttons on the silver pieces get pressed into the holes, but it did not snap into place securely.
There is no clicking sound when this is assembled and the pieces are not easy to pull apart and try the assembly over again. Therefore I have a crooked pole that has fallen apart once already in the middle of sweeping.
As someone with severe eczema on my hands that makes grasping items difficult I would imagine someone in the same predicament might have a hard time as would those who suffer from Arthritis.
My ten-year old can put things together without the assistance of directions so I utilized his aide in getting this pole to stand in an upright position without it popping out. Between the two of us this was not accomplished. The pole is placed together perfectly until the final piece gets pushed into the bottom section.
I would like to see arrows indicating how these pieces fit together and some coding on them to decipher the pieces. My other complaint would be the cardboard sheet that goes inside the base of the sweeper that picks up the dirt. I do not agree with calling this a cartridge and finding it quite confusing to follow directions.
This so called cartridge is a thin piece of cardboard that gets peeled off on both sides and then pushed into the base of the sweeper. The photo in the directions shows that the tab folds over to snap into place on an orange dot. You can see from the photo that the tab folded over is orange - so this helps in knowing which side goes into the mechanism. There is indication on the white side after pulling off the sheet that this is the side that goes up.
Trying to decide which side goes in and snaps correctly gets the adhesive from both sides all over your hands and also makes it feel flimsy when trying to get it secured inside the base.
It is also noted on the sheet that pulls off that you need to do this slowly to prevent tearing. They forgot to mention that the paper will be curled up by the time this is peeled off.
I like the design and ease of use of sweeping with the Swiffer CarpetFlick but find that after only a few minutes of sweeping the sheet (AKA cartridge) needs to be changed. The unit comes with four of these sheets, which could be used in less than one week's time.
The easiest aspect of using the Swiffer CarpetFlick is removing the dirty sheet. I did hear and see items being picked up near the front door and it worked well on cleaning up the baby powder in the bedroom. I also utilized the sweeper on the rugs in the bathroom where I sprinkle foot powder on my feet. The residue was easy to pick up but seemed wasteful and much easier to just wipe over with my feet.
This is a neat product that has promise with some fine tuning otherwise just another sweeper that needs refills to make it work.
