I don't like sweeping

I've just realized I really don't like to sweep my hard surface floors.  So I've been trying to vacuum them, but that's not working well.  My seven year old Dyson is on its last leg (doesn't lose suction my a$$) so I'm contemplating getting one of those Swiffer Sweeper Vacs. 

Does anyone have one of those?  Do you like it?  Do you have any other very lightweight vacuums for the hard floors?

On another note, what's the latest/greatest vacuum out there right now?  I'm resigned to the fact that I probably need a vacuum upstairs and downstairs since the Dyson is so freaking heavy to lug up and down the stairs AND to try to vacuum the stairs.

Re: I don't like sweeping

  • Swiffer Sweeper Vacs are THE BEST! I have all hardwoods on our first level and sweeping them was torture. The best part is that the sweeper vac picks up crumbs and the dust. Get one-so helpful!
  • Oh yay!  Glad to hear it's good.  I'm getting one tomorrow based on your rec :)
  • We have all hard wood floors and I LOVE our sweeper vac! It's so nice! My only complaint is that you have to empty the filter container pretty often. I still would get it again though.
  • Swiffer.com usually has coupons for their stuff too. I can't remember if they are printable or they mail them to you.Smile
  • Before you buy a new vaccuum, I would suggest looking for a repair store in the area.  Many times vaccuums can become clogged or bogged down by dirty filters, hair wrapped around the brush heads, etc.
