I have had a Swiffer duster before, so I am already familiar with how awesome their products really are. I've used something similar to the Swiffer Sweeper and the dry pads before, but this brand is definitely more sturdy, lightweight, and picks up a lot more off the floor. Having clumsy family members as well as a little dog running around the house on hardwood floors, this definitely comes in handy! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
