As a high-rise condo building manager, I need a good carpet sweeper to clean the carpet hallways in-between weekly vacuuming. Other carpet sweepers I've used took several strokes and still missed lots of bits and pieces, causing me to either go over it again and again like a crazy person or to bend over repeatedly to hand-pick up the small bits of trash. I even tried electric carpet sweepers but they still miss a lot and die after only a few floors. So frustrating!

The Rotaro is the best carpet sweeper I've ever used. It weighs a little more than the rest but it picks up everything the first time and makes my job a thousand times easier! I love it!

This has to be the most excellent manual vaccum I have used, it picks up everything, even dog hair. The only draw back to it is the dirt tray, it is open on one side, of course to empty, just be aware when you pull it out which side is open. I have cleaned as a pro and would recommend it to any business or household, it is not like the other manual vaccums. Kind of high priced compared to others, but does everything it says it will.

I love this thing!!!!

Best quality, best functioning carpet sweeper anywhere ever.

This is my second one. I use it daily, and the old one didn't wear out, someone took it!

Great item, great price!

I bought the Leifheit Rotaro Carpet Sweeper - 11410 for about $58, and the Bissell Sturdy Sweep Sweeper, 2402B for about $24, in November 2010. Both are hand powered sweepers that do not use electricity or batteries.

The Leifheit is a great sweeper, the rotating side brushes do a good job sweeping edges, and the dust pan is easy to clean. It has an adjustable brush height. The handle pieces screw together. But it is big, obviously not as big as my electric, canister vacuum cleaner, but noticeably bigger than the Bissel, and over twice the price.

The Bissel is a good sweeper, not as good as the Leifheit, and the dust pan is a little clumsier. Agree w another reviewer who noted the edge brushes don't do much. The handle pieces slide into each other and are held together by friction, which some previous reviewers disliked. My husband jammed them together tight and if they come apart, he will put a screw into them. I don't think that will be a problem.

Both are made primarily of metal, and so I think both will be sturdy. I kept them both. The Leifheit is for the house. It is perfect for quick jobs when I don't want to drag out the vacuum cleaner. The Bissel is for an off-the-grid travel trailer, which did not have room to store the larger Leifheit. The Bissel replaces a Swiffer carpet flick, which required those disposable sticky cards, which were expensive, and have since been discontinued.

Very satisfied with both purchases.

I have been helping out at my children's school for lunch duty. Unfortunately, the cafeteria floor is covered in commercial grade carpeting. We have had trouble with our vacuum cleaners for the last few years and recently one of the moms donated one of these sweepers to the school. We have been using it for 2 weeks now and all the moms want to get one of their own!! It picks up so much better than the vacuums - it is truly AMAZING! I am so impressed with it that I will be purchasing one for my own home.

picks up most dirt and ALL dog and human hair! but not a vacuum so if you are a clean freak don't buy it.
great when you have a toddler and you constantly have bread crumbs, dried play dough crumbles etc. on the ground
make sure you adjust the height for the thickness of the floor covering/bare floor

The Leifheit Rotaro Carpet Sweeper is the best carpet sweeper that I have ever owned. This is not some piece of crap made in China. This is a first class quality machine made in Germany. The Leifhit Rotaro Carpet Sweeper will work on both bare floors and carpet. I love this machine and this is the only machine I will ever own again.

After using the sweeper for a while, I can attest that it's a well-made, effective sweeper. Two considerations: the handle can't tolerate as much pressure as I'd like to apply and it the sweeper doesn't handle anything other than tiny amounts of lint/fur. That said, I'm still able to limit frequent vacuum use because of the sweeper. I'm MUCH more apt to use the sweeper than the vacuum, which I'm now using only on cleaning days. I'm happy with this unit.

Best manual sweeper with brushes that sweep beyond the width of the sweeper itself. Would recommend to anyone as it really picks things up, even on a medium thick rug.

I love this! Very straightforward and easy to assemble. I got pet hair and dust on my carpet and it picks it up very well. I just had a baby and pulling out the vacuum everyday wasn't ideal. This product was good to use for in between vacuuming. Love it!
