Don't buy this!

This was my original review when I had the Swivel Sweeper for about a week: "I love the Swivel Sweeper! I have a 4000 square foot house and I can't keep up the cleaning with vaccuum cleaners. It's too overwhelming to lug around a vaccuum and plug in the unit in every room. I have developed a weekly regimen where I use a swiffer for the floors and the Swivel Sweeper for the rugs - very easy!!!!! I use the vacuums for company and deep cleaning, but the Swivel is great for that in-between cleaning!"

Now, just a couple of weeks later, the charge only lasts for about a minute and that's only for bare floors. It can't handle anything. It's the same issue detailed in other reviews.

DON'T CHANCE IT! Buy a Dirt Devil cordless vac for only about $59 which we did today.

works well, seems to have a short

I just bought my sweeper yesterday. It seems to sweep very well however I think mine may have a short in it or is having a hard time with the battery connector. It seems to exist where sections C & D on the handle connect. While I am using it, I have to occasionally twist the handle slightly to keep the metal connecters touching. Does anyone else have this problem? Maybe it is just because it is new. I will keep it for a week and if the problem continues, I will exchange it for another one. For the $30 I paid for it (W/20% off coupon at BB&B) it seems to do the job!

Horrible!!

I had high expectations of this product, my floors are all hardwood and I hate to see dust in it. I use this every single day and after 2 weeks eventhough I was using the tools to clean it, it started to have everything around the bristles ( specially hair) and stop working soon after that. It's almost imposible to remove the things that get attached to the bristles!!! I would never buy this again!!!

Pure joy for 4 weeks!

Well, most of the positive reviews here are based on short usage, I think. Make no mistake this thing is as delicate as a flower. Within a month the stick broke in the middle. I returned and got a replacement from Bed Bath&Beyond. After 2 months the battery won't charge anymore. Too bad the warranty is good for only 90 days. Now you know why.
Pros.
-Worked OK when it worked.
Cons.
-Very delicate
-Battery dies in approx 3 months.
-Forget about customer service

Does the job needed

2008-06-20
I've had my sweeper for about a year and a half. I was never PERFECTLY happy with it- but it did what I needed. It does a pretty good job for daily pick-ups in my kitchen/dining area. It works well on the hardwoods, and we have a large braided rug (dark) and it picks up all of the dirt. It's very easy to operate (It's my 4-yr olds favorite chore.). It's even easy enough that my kids empty it out. It's very lightweight.

I am now having to get a replacement battery as it just can't get charged enough- but for doing almost daily pickups, and having lasted this long. I'm very satisfied.

My only complaint is it doesn't do very well on other carpet. The rugs in my kitchen have almost not pile to them, but any regular carpet (like stairs) or my other bathroom rugs, it just bogs it down and the brushes can't turn. SO it's best on hardwood/tile/very flat rugs.

I would definitely buy another one (and planning on it for my bathrooms).

works well

While this is not a sweeper intended for carpet, it will pick up small messes. It is very handy for tile and hardwood. The charge last for a long time and the only complaint I have is that the dirt catcher (where the dirt is held) is too small. I love the way it swivels!

I like it!

I really like this product, though I don't use it. I've had it for about a year and a half and it works just fine. My 3 boys (6,10,11) sweep the kitchen/dining floors with it every night after dinner. It works much better than the broom and dustpan. At first I wouldn't let the youngest use it, but he begged and when I finally let him, he actually does a better job with it than the older two. The boys think it's cool. It's quick and they don't mind helping out. We haven't had any problems with it. I like it!

Sweeper

This product is great for tile floors. I still use by big sweeper, but I love this for every day clean up. It's great to take along if you need to. We are quilters and go to the fire station to sew and this is great to take along for clean up. Shipping was a little slow from this company and it wasn't packaged very well, but it arrived safely.

Swivel Sweeper... Better than a broom and dust pan!

2008-07-03
I think the swivel sweeper is better than a dust pan and broom. Cleans the floors a little better than a broom, but also you don't have to bend to sweep up a pile, and it works faster than a broom. Of course it is not perfect, like the fact that it doesn't get everything perfectly, and things get tangled in the brushes. Also it is not that great for carpets so I prefer my vacum on carpets, but if you have mostly hard wood or tile it is perfect. Overall I love this product, and it makes my cleaning easier.

I love it !!!!!!

I love it!......so lightweight and convenient. No more brooms, dustpans, etc. So quick and easy to use. Of course it's not a regular vacuum cleaner so, if you're purchasing this for your regular heavy duty cleaning, don't bother. I'm considering purchasing another for my lower level so that I always have one handy.
