Spruce up the carpeting without the inevitably tangled-up vacuum cord or startling the pets with the loud noise of the vacuum with this simple sweeper from Bissell. The Perfect Sweep Dual Brush sweeper lifts dirt away from floors with two brushes that rotate in opposing directions. Because the sweeper operates using good old-fashioned human power, users conserve electricity and trim costs from the power bill. Users also enjoy the lightweight construction of the sweeper, its body weighing less than 4 pounds for easy mobility. The sweeper features durable steel construction with a long slender handle. The handle is flexible to allow it to stand erect or fold flat to slip under beds, dressers and other furniture. The brushes deposit dirt and debris into twin dirt pans. The spacious dirt pans remove from the sweeper body without difficulty for proper disposal in a trashcan. The sweeper accommodates bare floors and carpets of varying depth and thickness, automatically adjusting the sweeping height to the floor's ideal level. This item works best for light, daily clean up in conjunction with occasional use of a heavy-duty power vacuum. Bissell offers a lifetime warranty for the sweeper. The sweeper measures 9-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 43-1/4 inches and weighs 4 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

 Perfect vacuum substitute for me August 14, 2008
Xander (Suffolk County, NY)
I live in a single bedroom apartment with linoleum floors and floors with short carpeting and this is absolutely perfect. It's quiet, doesn't take up a lot of space, energy efficient, and works really well! Being able to go forward and backward is great, especially when you need to go over a spot more than once.
Also, I've not had any problems with the handle and it doesn't feel as if it's going to fall apart either. Like others have said, follow the instructions (banging against a hard surface floor when putting it together) and there will be no issues.
 What's with these Handle Problems? August 12, 2008
Steve W (N.C.)
OK...like most others considering an old time push pull sweeper I was looking for an quick simple sweeper for use between regular vacummings. I confess that I really needed an easy solution to clean up after our grandchildren after eating. Crumbs on the floor from things that weren't even supposed to have crumbs...I digress.
Bissel has been making these things for about forever so I decided to check out their latest offerings. After reading the reviews from other purchasers I came away with the feeling that this sweeper would work fine EXCEPT for the multitude of complaints about the handle coming apart quite easily. I almost didn't order the darn thing but after thinking about it for awhile I decided that there was never a handle made that I couldn't find a way to keep together so order the Perfect Sweep I did.
Now as far as MY experience with the handle issue so many people have spoken to...well...I have not had any issues at all. I followed accompanying assembly directions and then did everything in my power to get the handle to separate after hours of normal use and then forcefully by hand. Nothing. It held firmly! I dare say I hope I'll never have any reason to need to disassemble the handle because I believe it might require vise grips and a vise.
I'd like to offer a little advise to those that like everything about this sweeper except the handle issues they are experiencing. Next time it comes apart try reassembling it by taking the lower section and placing it on a hard concrete surface while tapping the joining upper section with a hammer. Not alot of force necessary, just a few moderate taps. Do that with each section junction and I think you'll find your problem is solved.
As for the rest of the sweeper, it performed as expected. No...it won't replace your vacumm but it's very effective for surface debris. Works far better on solid flooring than thick carpeting. It grabbed each and every tiny, grandchild produced, crumb under the kitchen table for certain!
If anybody reading this remembers the old Bissel sweepers of a few decades ago...you might be disappointed to find that the 2008 version doesn't appear to be made nearly as solidly as those of yesteryear which I guess you couldn't expect for a lousy $30 but that said it does come with a lifetime warranty. Which invites the question: Whose lifetime? But thats another discussion for later.
If you have reasonable expectations of what the design purpose is for the Bissel Perfect Sweep I think you'll be happy you took the leap of faith that I did. Don't worry too much about all the handle comments previously posted...I'm guessing many relied too much on their hand assembly method, contrary to following the actual assembly directions.
Good for a quick pickup instead of always useing my vacuum. July 20, 2008
June Zuckerman
The bissell carpet sweeper is great for quick pickups, BUT the top handle comes apart from the bottom half of the sweeper, it's very annoying and I have tried everything trying to keep it together. I know someone else who has the sweeper and has the exact same problem. Is there anyway this can be fixed? Thank you
 Nice for a quick clean up June 27, 2008

This is a good sweeper for those quick little touch-ups but it is not a replacement for the vacuum.

Julie (Miami, fl United States)
This product was mentioned in a magazine article as a good purchase for a green sweeper.. I have a swiffer broom and it runs out of juice long before I run out of room to sweep so I thought I would give this a try. It works very well on my area rugs picking up lots of dog hair, crums etc. it also works pretty well on the bare floors although sometimes it does leave some items. I may still need to use the best green floor cleaner an old fashioned conventional broom but all in all for the price, the fact that it requires no power source, the ease of cleaning the product and the good job it does on the low pile rugs it is well worth the money.
