Over the past ten years I have probably bought 15 swiffers. I've tried them all, wet, dry vacuum, you name it. Not a single one had a charger that would charge after the first 4-6 months. Took me a while to learn, but I will NEVER buy another one. Sure would be a convenient product to have if they were any good. Started with simper sweeper, next wet dry swiffer, next swiffer sweep vac. All did the same thing. First charge lasted less and less time. Eventually wouldn't even keep a charge 1 minute. Ending up throwing them all away. I would nener recommend this product to anyone.
