I love the swiffer vac. It is great for sweeping any floor that is not carpeted. It is a powerful little vac that is very lite weight. The charge last several hours but remember to let it run down completly before recharging it. I threw away my broom and dust pan. I can't think of any cons except maybe the filter container could be a little bigger but that really is no big deal just empty it after using. It doesn't use bags of any kind.
