People who claim that the One Sweep Broom doesn't work, just didn't use it correctly. Taking short, firm sweeps on carpet, always pulling the broom toward you, it pulls out imbedded dust and hair that my vacuum left behind. Also, I must tell you that I used the One Sweep only days after having my carpet professionally cleaned, and it STILL pulled out hair from the fibers!

Make no mistake, it requires that you put physical effort into the process. However, the results are nothing short of miraculous. The debris does not easily float into your dustpan. Remember, you are ridding yourself of stuff that lingers due to tangling and static electricity. The secret is to work in small sections -- finish one area before moving on to the next.

The result is absolutely amazing and worth every bit of energy expended.

I don't know about pet hair specifically, but I know that the one sweep works extremely well for gathering junk off carpet, esPecially pilling. Our apartment's carpet pills horribly (you know, those little fuzz balls), but after using the one sweep to "sweep" the carpet (which is weird to do), it has not pilled at all and it has been several months (where it used to pill every 3 weeks-ish).
The one sweep is also a great mop (the only contraption with a stick handle that rivals hand scrubbing), although it is not absorbant and you do have to use the squeegy side to sweep it into a puddle and soak that up with a sponge or paper towel. I prefer this to an absorbant mop because those get cruddy and they take a while to dry sitting in the sink, and they eventually smell bad and get hard because you can never get all the soap and stain out of them but you spend like 10 minutes trying. Plus, they take up so much damn space.
I recommend the one sweep highly for kitchen and bathroom floors, and pilling carpet. And though I haven't tried it yet, it seems like it would work very well for washing the car (especially the roof and windows) because it lathers quite well and scrubs gently (it's a lot like a toothbrush on teeth). I really like my one sweep.

My lovely fiance is wonderful, however her long hair tends to be rather prevalent through the floor of my carpeted apartment...to the point that, while not paying attention, it had wrapped around the roller on my vacuum cleaner causing it to melt from the extra friction. I was able to replace the roller, but picked on of these One Sweeps up to see if I could avoid a repeat catastrophe (I didn't point out to her that this is advertised as for pet hair).

A few quick passes around the room and wads of hair were easily gathered up. (The trick is to pull in short strokes towards you.) Along with that, all kinds of lint, excess carpet fuzz, and random other things all got caught up in the process. Quick and easy, and the carpet looks so much better already, and I haven't even gotten to vacuum it yet!

My vacuum was apparantly too cheap because it never cleaned the hairs from my thick carpet. After using the One Sweep once, all the hairs that had fallen in 5 months came up. This One Sweep is a lifesaver. I was embarrassed because my crappy vacuum just pushed the hairs into little clumps on the carpet.

I bought the broom because the demo video really was extraordinary. But buyer beware.
1. It does NOT work well on carpet. I have mucho dog/cat hair to clean up, but it wouldn't pick up any. This is the main reason I purchased the broom.
2. The ability to use for wet cleaning floors is not especially effective. For one, since it does not absorb, all you do is scoot water around.
3. It gets a couple stars because it does do ok on grout/tile.
I unfortunately bought it from the dealer direct, paying quite high shipping as well.

I have had mine since it first came on tv. I loved it so much that I went back and bought one for my mom. You must pull it in short strokes to get it to work properly.

when I FIRST used it, I didn't care for it, but after the second time I figured out how to use it properly. Now a good vacuum will do just as good a job, but it has to be a GOOD vacuum.

I recently used this again (more so than usual) to sweep and mop my patio. I used to use a regular rag mop but it smells raunchy after a time or 2, but with the One Sweep, I can go from sweeping to mopping to squeegying(?) instantly! And the great thing is, I can just wash it with hot sudsy water and not worry about bacteria forming in it!
Also, I was moving furniture around in our family room and lo and behold behind our couch was at least a month's worth of dust, tissues, crayons, pencils, gum wrappers, etc. Instead of having to bend over and pick up each item all I did was grab the one sweep and sweep all the dust and junk into one pile and pick out the keepers before discarding the rest! Very effective! Highly recommend to everyone!

This is the most affordable and effective alternative for people who have pets and want to remove the hair that get's embedded into their carpet. You do need to put some elbow grease into cleaning with this broom. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when you consider the type of job you are doing. Short and strong brush strokes will make this broom the most effective on carpet. I broke a sweat sweeping my American Eskimo's hair out of a flight of stairs and my bed room. For the price, this product is effective and works as long as you are willing to put in the effort. I think that's a good compromise over buying a high end vaccum at $500. I have yet to use it on liquid spills, but the broom is also very good at sweeping tile floors.

When I first used it, I was disappointed. But I was the one who wasn't using it correctly. I had just had my ceramic tile floors cleaned by a professional, so I decided that if the broom was good it might even get up some dirt. I sprayed 409 on the floor, used the broom "bristles" to scrub the floor and then squeegeed it off. Wow...dirt galore. Then after I had finished vacuuming my rugs for pet hair, I gave them a try, again with the "bristle" side first, and got lots of hair up. I wouldn't live without my wonderful broom. I am going to get one for each of my really true friends because I know that they will really love it.

I have 3 of these things. They work like a charm. I especially love them on my hard surfaces, ceramic tile, cement dog run, garage floor. It is a squeegee so yes you must have some place for the water to go but it works excellent. Its tough too, the one in my dog kennel gets heavy duty use every day and its over 15 months old.. still works great.

I bought this in February and by July the rubber had started disintegrating.
I previously had a Sweepa which I had for several years; the rubber never disintegrated but the handle rusted after several years.
This product is a cheap knock off of Sweepa.
