I put this together with ease and felt really confident until I got it outside in the driveway. It will NOT move forward without catching and stopping. What gives? It picked up nothing! If I had paid full price for this I would be livid. A broom and dustpan will do fine thank you very much! At least I won't fly over the "comfort bar" and break my neck!

This product never worked properly. The wheels 'tracked' on a curve or height change. Then after just two months the worm gear failed rendering the item totally inoperable and useless. I bought it before it went 'on sale'...paid twice the $ and got a headache trying to contact the manufacturer. The seller won't guarantee it and the maker doesn't answer their phone number and has a website under construction since 2005! The listed business address is a gated housing complex - locked. I will amend this review if they return my money.

I bought this when it was on sale for $20 with free shipping...I use it primarily to clean the garage floor and lately to sweep up grass and leaves after mowing. It does a pretty good job of picking up pretty much all dust and debris. When used to pick up grass clippings, it will leave a thin line of grass where the brush didn't reach but you can go back over and it gets 98% of it. The best part is that you don't have to bend over every minute to pick up a dustpan. The debris goes directly into the built-in receptacle and it holds quite a bit. All in all, a pretty good device if you can get it at the price I paid.

YOU Gotta' be kidding-$20 bucks DELIVERED to my front door? GREAT machine, I'm pushing 60 years old, and I just LOVE pushing my sweeper. Not a perfect invention, but it comes REAL close. They even included a pair of BRAND NEW replacement brushes !!!!!!! Are they the BEST, or what ??? ALSO, I tried a ridiculous stunt with it. I had a large metal spoon that was crushed by a car on my drive, and this machine grabbed it and ate it on ONLY the second try !!! What's NOT to LOVE. Buy it, and you'll dump ALL your other brooms, I promise.

I would rather clean my garage or driveway with a sheet of plywood than this thing. It stops dead in its tracks on a dime for no reason (well poor design), and it leaves a thin line of debris right in the middle where the brushes rotate. You thought the line a dust pan leaves behind is bad, this is a never ending thick line of debris.

I bought this for $20 (with free shipping) and now am giving it away for free on my local craigslist.org to someone else who wants a headache. I would not buy this thing for $1 if it was offered to me.

Save your money, a $5 brrom from Biglots will get the job done better and quicker.

Light use only ie around the garage or dirveway, great for picking up after I cut the grass. Only paid 15 bucks with free shiping

This is the second one of these I bought. The first is still working at my friends house. It's just like a vacuum cleaner for the yard. All you do is push it. And it's easy to empty the collection bin.

I use mine for sweeping my driveway and garage. I do get the little line of dust where the brushes meet but hey I just do another pass and it's gone. For those people who said they had issues with it stopping on a dime...All you need to do is raise it up one click and the stopping on a dime ends. (you are too close to the ground) The only real issue I've had with mine is that the handles keep falling off. I figure though that there has to be some way to rig it that it won't happen again, I just need to find time to go to the local home depot. Anyways it's a decent product for the price.

Great service and shipping from company......got here fast. Have used on drive and sidewalk and like it!
