 What it can and can't do ... May 22, 2008
Unfortunately I'm a perfectionist. I have 8 children so I have to fight myself constantly to learn to live with things like ... DIRT! We have rugs in our entry way. We do a big vacuum job every Saturday. But sometimes I just didn't feel like lugging out the big vacuum to clean the rugs in the middle of the week when I couldn't stand dirt, sand, fuzzies, sawdust, leave bits, etc. on those rugs anymore. I searched and came upon this carpet sweeper.
Yes, it does clean but I found that I had to go over and over and over the rugs to get them perfectly clean. For me, lugging the big vacuum out now is a joy compared with the time I spent using the carpet sweeper.
I realize not everyone can afford a vacuum. Then this will definitely help you. For others who can afford a vacuum, you should know it doesn't do good AT ALL around the edges (next to the walls). Fortunately, my rugs moved so I could pull them away from the wall to get the edges of my rugs clean. I would've been really frustrated if it was carpet that couldn't be moved ... how would you clean the edge then?
I moved mine to the trailer. I have a small area in it that is carpeted (which seems really stupid to me since when we go camping, we always drag dirt, mud, etc. in. Hard floor of any type would've been better). But it works better than nothing and I have no room for a vacuum in the trailer. Also, we use it on the outdoor carpeting that we put outside of the trailer to help keep some of the dirt from being dragged into the trailer. It's good for that because we had no other good way to clean that carpet before, and it doesn't need to be perfect.
Why only 2 stars? I felt people were over-rating it. It's rather a shame that they made it with the silver part on it (look at the picture). It gets dirty right away and full of finger prints as you go to dump the dirt out of it. Seems silly to have a material that doesn't hide dirt or at least the finger prints.
I just wanted people who are searching for the right item for themselves to consider that it's not going to be your dream come true if you're fussy about clean or the amount of time you spend cleaning. I don't want someone with limited money to buy it and find it doesn't clean edges, or that it takes forever if you want a very clean carpet. There are some inventions that just can't be beat, and a vacuum seems to be one of them for serious cleaning.
 Just as expected April 21, 2008
This product lived up to previous reviews. Does a very decent job on my kitchen floor and the dog hair. Easy to empty....and I have an extremely bad back.
My boy's love this February 12, 2008

Unlike the reviews for other sweepers, this sweeper has a handle that screws on, so the handle does not come off. It is easy to use for my 4 year old, and picks up a fair amount of dirt. It is especially handy for us parents to sweep under the couch - all the way to the back! Only moves back and forth (not side to side), but it's simple, easy to use/clean and no fuss.
 Terrific product January 16, 2008

I love this thing! So much better than the vacuum cleaner. Easy, compact, quiet, quick, green and very effective. It's fun to use.

This is a great little sweeper -- super for between time vacuum jobs. Works well on carpet and hard floors. Great value!
