The handle comes in 4 pieces, but the threads on one of them are malformed, so the pieces can't be assembled. So bad quality it doesn't even work.

Der erste Eindruck ist ein sehr Guter und schaut nach einer wertigen Verarbeitung aus.Er ist handlich und lässt sich besser entleeren als mein Vorgänger.Der Griff besteht aus vier Teilen und nicht wie der Vorgänger,der nur aus zwei Teilen bestand und deshalb kurz nach dem Kauf abgebrochen ist.Ich habe diesen auch für meine Mutter zum Geburtstag geschenkt und Sie hat sich darüber gefreut.Schmutz nimmt er auch sehr gut auf.Ein Update erfolgt nochmal nach mehrmonatigen Einsatz.Leider ist dieses Produkt auch wieder Made in China.

I purchased this for quick pick ups for around the house without having to pull out the big vacuum. For this being a manual "sweeper" it does an amazing job of picking up dirt/pet hair etc. I'm always amazed at how much it has picked up even if I use it after vacuuming with my Filter Queen. I highly recommend this little contraption. We have mainly hardwood floors and just a few area rugs and it works well on both. I wish I would have had this years ago. Plus I love the fact that it's quiet so I can use it no matter what anyone is doing.

I am one of those people that just hates the sound and vibration of vaccums.When I can't convince hubby to vacuum, this carpet sweeper is just the ticket!It is even sturdy enough for my son to use!But the cats and dog are not afraid of it at all :)

The Dual Action sweeper is fantastic on tile, not so much on carpet. Low pile carpet will be fine. Did a kitty litter test and on tile, the first pass got everything up. For the money though, I think I'd rather have invested in a Fuller. With Fuller you get a smaller cleaning area but this is why they are so good ironically. Although the Dual Action sweeper does a good job, it just doesn't say "quality" to me. The rubber wheels that engage the brushes when pushed back and forth seem a bit cheap and appear as though they will wear quickly. The Dual Action works well both forward and backward equally. The front brush is thicker than the back although this hasn't seem to make a difference in results. The nylon(?) bristles are lightweight (more so than I would've thought) and I would imagine, within due time, they would fray. I will update this review (posted on 01/23/2019) if and when that were to ever happen. The handle is broken down into 4 threaded pieces, which screw on together. I have noticed this is cause for the handle coming loose at times and need of re-tightening. Don't tighten those down to tight as it seems possible the threads will strip. Four stars, it's good if you need something a bit bigger than most. If you want a quality sweeper that will last a long time, get a Fuller.

We spent a good deal of time and a couple of days deciding which of the many sweepers available to try out. Although we have only one area rug in our living room and two small area rugs in our bedroom, we use this sweeper very effectively on those, on our laminate flooring and picking up cat litter by the cat's box on our bathroom tile. This sweeper has two nice big compartments and I emptied them twice in one go-round in our apartment. The photo shows all the cat hair, leavings from her scratching post and other small particles from our carpets. It works so-so on cat litter, but better than nothing. It fits under most furniture and under the bed and has a nice long reach there (adjustable). The only thing I had to do was unravel hairs from around the sweeper brush that were remainders of 3 uses. On laminate and tile you sometimes have to lift and place the sweeper on top of dust bunnies to get it to pull them up, the corner brushes capture some things but do not throw them into the capture bin so those sometimes need to be foot directed toward the bin. This sweeper does not catch on the carpet weave. It is heavy enough to not flip around in use, but light enough to handle and accomplish what you want to do without having to pull out and set up a vacuum cleaner. For all these reasons we found that this is a great little product and we would buy it again if necessary.

I bought this as a lightening deal over Christmas. Last year we bought and returned a Roomba, both times trying to get something to help keep the dining room floor cleaner. We have three children five and under including one who enjoys throwing food on the floor. The Roomba was just too much work picking up chairs around the table and it was a little loud. This product works great and cleans the floor up quickly. It is also easy enough to use that the five-year-old can use it and thinks that it is "fun."The assembly was easy. I have used it on tile and carpet and it works well on both.You do have to accept that the sweeper is not going to get everything but in my experience it picks up about 95% of the mess which is good enough between mopping. On carpet it is closer to 100% of big stuff but it is not a replacement for vacuuming. I was a little unsure about the rubber sweeper versus brushes but it works better than other sweepers I have used. It does pick up some liquid but not as well as a towel and you'd be better off using a towel because it picks up some liquid but spreads the rest around.

This is a review of the , Model No. 4215--the expensive one. It's worth the extra dough.When I was a kid, we had one of those big old Bissel carpet sweepers, and I've always thought they were an ingenious alternative to the cumbersome, noisy, electricity-consuming vacuum cleaner. Of course, they won't do everything a vacuum will do, but for a lot of clean-ups on bare floors or low-pile carpets they're just what the doctor ordered.I didn't know what to expect of the Rubbermaid sweeper's rubber squeegees, which take the place of the Bissel's (and cheaper Rubbermaid models') rotary brushes, but I've been very happy with them. They seem to pick up dirt, dust, and cat litter quite as well as brushes, if not better; and I imagine they'll also do a good job on wet spills, though I haven't had to test that hypothesis yet.I hesitated to give this sweeper five stars, because it's not much use in close quarters (such as on the bathroom rug in a New York City apartment's tiny bathroom), but I decided it wasn't fair to knock off a star for that, considering how the contraption works. Still, buyers should understand this inherent limitation: *You have to have room to move the entire sweeper head roughly a foot in a straight line, or it can't do its thing.*The rotary squeegees, which are two or three inches behind the leading edges (back and front), have to pass over the dirt while turning, or they can't sweep it up. The little stationary, downward-pointing brushes on the corners are presumably intended to reach dirt along the baseboard, where the squeegees can't go (because those are enclosed by the body of the machine), but they're not very effective. That's not a huge complaint, though. If there's dirt right up against the wall, you can use a broom or hand-brush to sweep it out into the open, where the sweeper can get it.This sweeper isn't meant to replace the vacuum cleaner or the broom altogether--it's just easier to use on the jobs it works on, and it works on a lot of common jobs, particularly little spills, tracked-in dirt, and various messy accidents--as long as they're more-or-less out in the open. And it might very well replace the dust pan.The construction of the sweeper seems good. The materials feel sturdy, and the moving parts operate smoothly, without wobbling, squeaking, or other indications of sloppy manufacture or assembly. I've seen complaints about the handles of other manufacturers' sweepers, which are made up of sections that are supposed to hold together by friction, but reportedly don't stay together very well. This machine's handle is sectional, too, but the sections are threaded and they screw together. (Note that the cheaper Rubbermaid models also have friction-fit handles. I have no idea how well or poorly they stay together. Reports vary.) As long as you're careful not to get the threads crossed, this handle should go together and stay together fine, and it feels very solid, once assembled. (Useful tip: To avoid cross-threading, always turn any threaded parts backwards, as if you were unscrewing them, until you hear or feel the click that means the threads have engaged properly.)The rotary squeegees sweep dirt into trays under the front and rear edges of the sweeper. Transparent ABS plastic covers let you see when the trays are getting full, and when you're ready to empty them, you just hold the sweeper right-side up over the trash can and push down on a little tab at the corner of each dust tray. The tray opens downwards, dumps the dirt into the trash can, and springs shut again. These assemblies feel sturdy, and work smoothly and firmly.The sweeper is about as good-looking as anybody can reasonably expect--an unobtrusive shape, and no garish colors, just basic black (though it looks like yellow trim is available if you like garish). It folds flat for easy storage. It's easy to clean, and the squeegees are less prone than traditional rotary brushes to get hair, thread, etc., wrapped around them, which I consider a big advantage. I can't say how durable the parts are, because I haven't used mine very much yet, but I don't anticipate problems. Note that Rubbermaid considers this a "commercial", not a "home", product, so information about it is to be found on the Rubbermaid Commercial web site, at [...]This isn't the cheapest sweeper on the market, but my advice is always to save up and buy the best quality you can possibly afford. A year from now (unless you're in such bad shape that you shouldn't be shopping on the Web in the first place), you won't miss the extra money you spent; but each and every time you use the thing, you'll appreciate having something that works properly and makes your work easier, rather than harder. I'm glad I spent the extra money for this well-made sweeper, and I'm happy to recommend it.
