what is the difference between the swiffer sweeper in the starter kit and the two in one. They both appear to accept wet and dry pads. thanks

I think they are similar the 2 in one is the starter it comes with the pads to start a person and the other you just buy it and use the same stuff just don't have the extras in it.

I don't know. I just thought that the 2 in 1 was a good idea for my floors that seem to collect a lot of dust. so I dust and then put on the wet pads which removes the spots of anything I have dropped.

the disposable pads are designed to go on the steam boost. if swiffer has a micro fiber pad, made to stay on on the mop, i don't know about it. the shark steam mop has a micro fiber pad. also the disposable swiffer pads have the cleaner in them. a microfiber pad doesn't. someone posted that not much steam comes out of the mop. that is true, especially compared to the shark steam mop. however 100% of the bottom of the swiffer gets so hot it will burn your hand. on the shark steam mop, only the middle of the pad gets real hot. i have started cleaning my linolium floors with the swiffer steam boost. and i am cleaning my hardwoods with the microfiber shark steam mop. i spray some harwood floor cleaner on the hardwood, then use the steam mop. it takes at least 2 swiffer pads to clean my my kitchen and bathroom floors. the swiffer cleans them really well. but the pads are expensive. if i could have only one, however i would not give up my swiffer steam boost mop. it cleans really well, and is hot enough to kill germs.

It is so much better than a Swiffer and if you make your own cleaning solution, WAY cheaper in the long run. I have been using my pad (one that came with it and another I realized I needed while the other was waiting to be laundered) that I've used for 3 years (once a week user for whole house). They are both in great condition and will be useful for quite a while longer. The fact that it is taller than the Swiffer and doesn't require disposable products to use it will save a lot of $$$!

What is the difference between a standard and sweep spray? I am not sure which one I have.

I personally prefer it to the swiffer on a laminate floor. It corrals the dirt into one spot instead of attaching it to the pad. I hope that helps. I really liked the product.

The website says to use on Any floors. However, the wet Swiffer cloths say **Do not use Swiffer Sweeper wet mopping cloths on unfinished, oiled, or waxed wooden boards, non-sealed tiles or carpeted floors because they may be water sensitive. " I love the dry cloths! Hope this helps.

The newer model is slightly larger, but weighs less than 14lbs. which is 8.3lbs. LESS It has 2 additional brushes which are specially designed to cover sealed hardwood floors and tile & grout. 360 clean: SpinScrub Technology gently washes and scrubs hard floors from all angles. Wash, scrub & dry: Switching between options is a snap. CleanBoost Control applies extra detergent to stains and heavy traffic areas. 11.5" Removable Nozzle provides a combined squeegee and suction to quickly dry. Removable for easy cleaning. It uses several different Hoover cleaning solutions, the Hoover Multi-FLOORPLUS 2x concentrated is great and you don't need much unless the floors are a high-traffic area or very dirty. There are solutions designed for use cleaning grout and another for wood floors. I like that it leaves the floor so dry that there are no steaks and so clean that you can feel the difference with your bare feet. As I said, I didn't have the previous version, all the technical information I found on different web sites and the last is my personal opinion and observation. I have other brands that called their brands (Shark, Bissell and others) that said they were cleaners or sanitizers and all they did was much around hot, dirty water. The only difference between them and mopping is that they were easier to push around, the water remained hot, and you were not bending over to wring it out. Even the ones that said they dried the floors, did not unless you went over them at least at least three times (it varied, depending on the humidity level). There is nothing worse than pulling up water that is not clean after you have used the machine at least twice. It is discouraging and disgusting. That is why I LOVE this one, it cleans using very little of the 2x solution (a small bottle is included) and then removes the water leaving you with a clean, dry floor without streaks. It is lightweight and I am nor writhing in pain when I finish.

There is one mop head in the bag because you use it and then throw it in the wash qnd reuse it. I have 2 and I love them, it scrubs better than a swiffer and there is no waste.

Don't have a swifter, but this is the last cleaner you will buy. They have Velcro backing that connects to the "mop"... You clean then take it off & wash it in laundry. We had one at preschool that was well used & is worth buying the mop & cleaning pad kit. U won't be dissapointed

I always make the assumption with wood floors that they have polyurethane for sealing and any waxing that needs to be done - I did myself. The Swiffer product really is more for general maintenance then it is for FULL cleaning of the wood floors. When I wanted my floors done fully I would buy the BRUCE HARDWOOD floor product available for a Home Depot or Lowe's. Then, in between cleanings and on a regular basis, I would use the Swiffer WetJet Wood Product for dust and general cleaning.

One difference I noticed is the brushes are removable so it's makes for much easier cleaning. There is no little cleaning tool with this one either. I saved mine from the first one and just snapped it on the new one. When I remove the brushes I take a pair a scissors and cut what ever is wrapped around the brushes in have the length of the brush and it comes right off. I have an Irish setter and he has long hair and if I do a quick sweep up job with this and get his hair in it the removable brushes make it easy to clean. You just slide one way or the other to remove them. They are spring loaded. Love my sweeper.

I used to use the Swiffer dusters. Just could not stomach the cost of them anymore. I think this one picks up dust better and has a larger surface area so you can clean more area at a time. It is also very flexible. You can bend the rod that runs down the center at any point (1/4, 1/2) to get into tight spaces like behind books on bookshelves.

It is similar but the mop part is bigger and the material is a thicker cloth. I actually vacuum or use the dry Swiffer prior to mopping with the Bona just to get up all of the loose debris. Then you just spray the Bona on the floor and mop away!

They are two different pad, use different kinds of mop. Blue mop works with water reservoir pad, white mop works with sweep pad, you can also use swiffer wet mop on sweep pad.

Yes! I was actually planning to write an addendum to my review; I used Swiffer sweeper, wet mopping cloths and I love them. They are the perfect size, cheaper than the original Dyson and wet enough to cover a larger area; don't buy the Dyson refills.
