Libman Freedom vs Swiffer WetJet: The Libman saves you $30–50 per year despite the higher upfront cost

The Swiffer WetJet costs less upfront (~$25) but locks you into expensive proprietary refills and disposable pads. The Libman Freedom costs ~$40 upfront but lets you use any cleaning solution and washable microfiber pads. Over a year of weekly mopping, the Libman saves you $30–50 — the refill tax is real.
