I have a battery powered Swiffer that I use occasionally, but honestly, most often I prefer to use my 'woman-powered' Swiffer with a paper towel instead of the official Swiffer replaceable dry cloth (because I'm cheap). I find that the plain swiffer does a better job at corralling Maine Coon hair and kitty litter that my little darlings seem to drop from their big paws all over the house. The battery powered Swiffer is great at picking up the cat hair, but not so much with the loose pieces of litter.
