I was skeptical when I first saw it, but decided to give it a chance. I have low-nap carpet, linoleum, and laminate flooring--this product works very well on all these surfaces. It is much easier and less back-breaking than using a broom or pushing a heavy vacuum cleaner. Good for quick pick-up or in-depth cleaning.

This dual brush model overcomes the problems of single brush sweepers. With traditional single brush sweepers (like the Shark), it only picks up dirt in the forward direction. When you pull it back, the flap underneath actually pushs dirt back in your direction and doesn't get swept up. The Dirt Devil Dual Brush sweeps up dirt in both directions, cutting down on your cleaning time.

Sweepers also pick up more dirt and large particles than floor cloths (like Swiffer).

I wouldn't use this on carpet, unless it's very low, closed-loop -- like at an office. For carpet, get a vaccuum. But for hardwood or bare floors, this works like a dream! Great for picking up tracked kitty litter or dry pet food.

we are just getting ready to order another one. my wife wore the other one out. very handy,batteries hold a long charge. works super on an indoor outdoor carpet surface or hardwood floors. easy to clean,light,portable. super deal. thick carpet forget it. well worth the money!

I purchased this as an easy to use hard floor sweeper thinking it would pick up little messes here and there. WRONG! It did not sweep even the smallest amount of crumbs without spitting them out the back. I emptied the cup several times thinking it was in wrong but nothing helped. Absolutely no sweeping power as when you moved it back and forth like a vacuum, it spewed out what you just swept right out the back! I couldn't even give this thing away and ended up just tossing it out.

I was excited to get this product but was so disappointed when I used it! The cups are too small to hold enuf dirt so you have to empty it frequently.
It's hard to manuver on carpet and can't pick anything up on carpet. It gets stuck allot.
My biggest mistake was discarding the box right away, as I've bought Dirt Devil products before and was happy, so I couldn't return it! Oh well another $50 down the drain!
I gave it to a disabled friend who has allot of birds. She says it helps but doesn't pick up enuf that she would throw away her broom!
Stat away from this one!
I give it a 0 which wasn't an option on the list!

I bought this over the weekend (at Home Depot) and LOVE it! It worked great on my kitchen floor (linoleum), all my hardwood floors and my large area rug and 2 runner rugs (very low profile/not plush)

The dirt cups are small - but I did my whole house (8 rooms) and didn't have to empty until I was done. The cups should be emptied after every deep cleaning anyway. If the dirt cups are overflowing to the point of needing emptying in the middle of regular cleaning (ie, not a mess like broken plant or box of cereal) then your problem isn't a small dirt cup - your problem is not cleaning your floors often enough.
