"It gets what vacuums dont! ALso, great for older folks..."
This is one of those products I'd put on my "must have" list if I had an elderly parent who couldn't handle a vaccumm and had some area rugs or runners near the front door or entrance to any room. For daily touch-ups, these things can't be beat. They are extremely light and get all the stuff that gets dragged into the house between deep vacuuming.
Of course, I really believe that a doormat at the front door will go a LONG way in keeping out a lot of the dust and debris. For the stuff that gets by that, use the Carpet Flick. I tend to shake out my runners and deep vaccum them regularly but I've noticed that some people who are elderly don't have the strength for that.
Because I help out taking care of two people over 90, this has been a great help to them in maintaining their independence and ability to keep things clean when I'm not around...and I'm all for helping people to help themselves stay functional!

"Great for cat litter pickup"
My cats have a small rug outside their litter box to keep them from tracking the litter around the house. The flick is great for quick daily clean up so the litter doesn't have a chance to spread. The flick flicks the litter into its internal catch area very effectively. The sticky pad at the bottom is pretty much useless, as it gets covered in the first minute of use. Even so, I highly recommend it for cat litter on rugs.

"A Great Alternative"
My dog is always munching on chewies (rawhide, etc.)and this Swiffer works great on picking up the pieces that are always left. Instead of having to drag out my big vacuum (which is kept downstairs)I use this and it sweeps up the bits just fine. Worth the price.

"Great for in between vaccuumings"
Easy on the back and shoulders, as this is very light. It does a good enough surface job until the weekend vaccuuming. My 2 year old daughter loves to use it to help mommy! I bought this in a drug and discount store for $13.95. It's worth that.

"My Siffer Carpet Flick Did a Great Job Until..."
My son dropped it into the furnace and it melted to the plate!

What our customer's say!

"swiffer problem-no refills", I actually liked this product a lot-however be aware that they no longer make the refills. If you like it, buy up a lot of the refills because it's your last chance.
Doesn't seem right to continue to sell a product when it won't be usable when the initial run of refills is no longer available.

"inexpensive alternative to a carpet sweeper, great if you have pets", this is a cheap alternative to a carpet sweeper, the swifter carpet "flick." it is extremely lightweight and fairly durable. you slide in little disposable sticky cards and this is what picks the debris up off your floor.

all i can say is, your kids will easily be able to handle this device and have fun with it helping you "clean" and it's nice not to have to drag out anything heavy at the end of an exhausting day.

as an extra bonus, it is IDEAL for sweeping off the top layer of pet hair that gathers on your floors, if you have furry cats or dogs. the hair gets stuck on the card, not in the rollers of a sweeper device or vacuum cleaner, and thus your carpets look better and stay fresher.

they'll probably discontinue this soon due to lack of interest so i'm gonna try and buy up as many of these sticky cards cards as possible, at least the ones that are offered at a reasonable price. this invention is worth the 11 or 12 bux.

"Avoid this waste of money!!", We bought it from Wal-mart and tried it as soon as we got home. Then, we promptly boxed it right up and took it back for a refund!! We tried it on carpet AND tile--it did not work at all!! No, it did not pick up the cat hair or dog hair as promised! My son wanted to drop some cereal on the floor (which I let him do--we had Cocoa Pebbles) and it picked up just a few pieces (the dog did the rest)!

While some of the Swiffer products are great, this is the worst!! Buy a regular, old-fashioned carpet sweeper. Better yet, use a broom for tile floors (or a Swiffer) and a regular vacuum on the carpet!

"Great for small rooms and dog hair!", I love my swiffer carpet flick. I have a not too thick carpet in my 10x10 room, as well as a full size bed smack in the middle. well when i don't feel like lugging out my enormous vaccum and manuvering about for a few crumbs, i grab this bad boy and it definetly does the trick! I also run it in my son's room, because he has an area rug and the vaccum pulls at the fibers. my boyfriend just got a dog and she leaves hair on her spot on the floor in my room, and this acts like a lint roller. it's not really a replacement for vacumming, but it is great for touch ups and crumb spills. A MUST HAVE for people with small homes, rooms, and toddlers! I need a refill pack (which has 12 and cost about$ 4.50) soon! and by the way, the sticky pad is easy to put in and holds alot more than you think! i'm about to flick it around now! enjoy! :D

"GREAT for the DORMS", I'm a college student, and I just love it! It's smaller, lighter, quieter, and it doesnt have the nasty dust release like the nasty bulky vacuums they rent out at school. I'll certainly be using it next year, even out of the dorms.

"Good for very small jobs.", I bought this so that it would be easier to clean up after my cats instead of taking out the vaccume every time. It works on small stuff like Cat litter and sometimes on cat food but not on anything bigger than that. Doesn't trap much hair at all. The thing I was dissapointed in was that the catch tray was much too small for the jobs I need to do. My cats spill a fair amount of litter around their boxes and are messy with their food. I have to change the pick up pad once or twice just to clean up all the stuff that ends up on the floor. It's pretty much better just to get out the vaccume and do the job that way. I think they could improve this product by allowing larger items to be caught up in the catch tray and making the catch tray a bit larger.

"Good for what it is designed to do", When you buy this product, you have to be certain that your expectations are properly set. It is not a vacuum cleaner and won't pull dirt out of a carpet. It isn't even a traditional carpet sweeper with rotating brushes that lift hair and surface dirt into a chamber for emptying.

What the Carpet Flick is good at is picking up surface dirt and litter. It has no moving parts, so it depends on (1) rolling over litter that sticks up above the surface of the carpet, or (2) having litter that is light enough so that the small internal "breeze" that moving the unit back and forth causes is enough to flick the dirt into the upper container.

I have used this unit extensively since I purchased it. I can truthfully say that it does a wonderful job in cleaning up a tremendous amount of environmental "stuff." Compared to a small Casabella brand carpet sweeper which I had used before I bought this product, the Carpet Flick does a much better job.

I am very happy with the product, even though I recognize that it will not ever replace a good vacuum clearner (or even a well-built, full-sized carpet sweeper). So keep your eyes open and your expectations calibrated when you hit the "Buy" button with this product.

"This thing is horrible!", This thing is horrible. Cumbersome to use and does nothing. I have to swiffer over and over again and crud is still on the floor. It removes a little bit of dirt but doesn't actually clean a rug/carpet. I'm giving it one star because Amazon won't let me rate it -0.

"Perfect for what it is!", I purchased this product to use in my (seldom vacuumed) office. It is great at picking up the dirt, crumbs, staples, paper clips, and general fuzzies that accumulate. I don't ask the world of it, but have been VERY pleased with the results. It was easy to put together, is easy to load and change the sticky cartridges, and does a great job!

"great for the cat mess!", Context:
1. I bought this CarpetFlick in the mind of cleaning the area rug in the living room of my hardwood floored apartment, between major vacuum tasks...
2. There's a coffee table on the area rug which the vacuum just CANNOT get under...
3. I have a litterbox in the living room and my cat is a big fan of digging... so i have litter everywhere 24/7
4. I'm a HATER of the vacuum noise and have trouble using a regular vacuum cuz i'm too petite.

Pros:
1. Picks up ALL the litter, BETTER than the vacuum, just in one go.
2. No need to bend down using this thing
3. No stupid electric cables
4. Totally Silent
5. Extremely light and manuverable
6. Can finally clean under the coffee table without lifting it and moving it to another place (it's a 6'x3' solid wood coffee table and i'm petite)
7. I actually had fun and felt wonderful gliding this thing on the rug and see the litter disappear!
8. As a bonus (out of my main buying purpose) it lifted so other junk (hair/food crumbs)on the carpet too!

Cons:
1. Cartiridges might be expensive (but totally worth it for the effort i save with the regular vacuum)
2. Seeing how good it is on the area rug on the first run, I went into the room and try to use it after my bf spray-dusted the insides of computers where black dust bunnies are lying around. nothing happened. (but i wasn't expecting it to anyways)
