The swiffer sweep and vac really gets the job done.  I love that I can plug it in and not have to worry about replacing batteries!  I wish my other swiffer could do that!  It is so much easier and quicker to run the sweep and vaccume over the flors than to sweep and use the dust pan.  My children love to help me out now that I have this fun cleaning machine!  The only problem I have is that the trap fills up too quick.  But that is an easy fix, remember to empty it each time!  The replacement pads are affordable and I tend to see a lot of coupons for them as well.
