The Carpet Flick is a waste of money. It hardly picks anything up and then you have to keep buying refills. Whoever did the research on this product missed the boat big time! It is so much easier to lug out the big vacuum, so that I know the dirt has been pick up. In the long run an expensive vacuum is much more cost effective and works better at picking up dirt. It s hard to imagin that this product is part of the Swiffer line up from P&G. They made a horrible product this time.
