Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you own pets (especially cats), this is a must have! I bought my first one at a local retailer and purchased another through Amazon for a dollar less and free shipping. :) I now have one on each floor and use them daily in between major vacuuming. With seven rescued pets (4 dogs and 3 cats), I certainly don’t want our home to smell or look like we have that many. The Berber carpet in the “cat room” is covered with heavy tarp protecting it from the non declawed felines. Using a regular electric vacuum was not an option and sweeping with a broom only scattered the loose litter. Bye bye frustrations, this item was the answer! 1.) It picks up loose litter, scratch pad residue, pet hair, food & treat crumbs and debris carried in from the outside. 2.) No cords or loud noises to send the four-leggeds scurrying. 3.) Easy to assemble (work from the sweeper head on up when attaching the handle pieces). Made of metal and plastic. Handle is easy to grip and it can be stored on a hook. I use it daily and it appears to be durable. If and when this one wears out, I’ll purchase another. Updated reviews forthcoming. 4.) Compact to store in any small closet or corner (9.5” X 10.5” X 2.5” with a 44.5” handle). I hang one behind a door on a towel hook. The sweeper handle rotates so the head lays flat against the door. 5.) Lightweight to maneuver around and under furniture and along baseboards. The handle locks in an upright position when not in use. 6.) Tip the sweeper head over a large mouth trash can to empty the contents from both sides. I use a damp cloth to wipe the underside of excess hair and dust and then store. No, it doesn’t do the job as a regular electric or battery powered vacuum but it sure does make our daily routine a lot easier. It’s my quick Go-To device! I use it on the 12X16 tarp, litter trap pad, tile (12X12 or 16X16 as long as the grout is not so recessed), hardwood, carpet, cement, slate and stone flooring. Finally... with today’s technology and newer products, it’s nice to get back to the simple things in life (reminds me of my grandmother’s home) and truly enjoy what’s important. For this busy household, I can’t rave enough about this little gem!
