You've got rokenbok balls all over the living room, the kids are asleep. It's time to unleash the sweeper! This thing has a spinning foam gobbler up front that just sucks up the balls and delivers them to the dumptruck style bin in the back. Then (This is the cool part) the sweeper elevates and you can "spit" the balls into hoppers or other vehicles. Plus, if you are into rokenbok vehicle against vehicle wresling, it's a major heavyweight contender. It's a fun toy.

the one complaint that i have about other such cars is thatt they can't pick up the balls easily. this one can, and saves a lot of trouble. it is easy to cotrol, nearly invincible, and very fun.

This Power Sweeper by Rokenbok is really fun! First, you can suck the blue and red balls by useing the front end of the car. Second, is you can have them brought back out of the front. Or have the car tilt upward, so the balls slide down the flat area on top to a little tail gate, that automaticaly opens when you tilt it. This car is really fun and enjoyable.

I bought this for my son's sixth birthday. He loves it and it works very well. His 8 year old sister likes it a lot, too.
Just be sure that you purchase the required remote to go with it!

The Power Sweeper is the most useful Rokenbok vehicle, even though it is expensive, slow moving and odd looking. When you set up a Rokenbok world it sin't long and you have little balls scattered about that need picked up. The Loader and the Skip Track can pick up balls stray balls but it takes a lot of action to pick them up. Meanwhile the Sweeper, while slow moving just drives over each stray ball and sucks it up into its cavernous cargo area. It can easily receive balls into its back cargo area as well the front end will lift up so you can reverse the roller to dump balls into cargo bins, etc. Yes, it costs more than some Rokenbok vehicles but it is very versatile to the task of moving balls within the world you will create. The only downside is that it is slow to drive and to dump the cargo.

This is by far the most popular Rokenbok vehicle in our family. It picks up the most balls (and does it well). Then you can dump the balls in a dump truck style or run the sweeper backwards to unload part of the balls. Lots of options for playtime fun.

Having received a start set and a few extras, has given me and my sons alot of good times already. DO BUY THIS , great fun for young and older.

We bought the power sweeper after buying one of Rokenbok's starter sets - the Construction and Action Set. What's different about Rokenbok is the fact that you can build for hours and then play with remote control machines like this power sweeper for days. My son used to be a big fan of Lego - he will build really intricate, cool spaceships and cars but once that was done - he would just take them apart and start over again (or they would make it to his closet shelf). With Rokenbok, he likes the remote control aspect because he can build a cool scene such as a construction zone and then he will use the power sweeper to pick up balls and actually play with his creation! Very cool products from Rokenbok!

I have to laugh everytime I watch one of my kids or their friends play with the sweeper. If they are around six they are just amazed at what it can do. If they are older than that they become very determined and competitive with sucking up as many balls as possible in order to take them to one of the dumping bins. We have had Rokenbok for years. I'm buying the 2010 sweeper and other vehicles in order to add wireless machines to our collection. Rokenbok is super high quality and so so much fun!

I purchased several sets of Rokenbok about 8 years ago during a sale. And they sat in storage until this Christmas. I set up 2 Starter Sets, a large monorail layout, and several other sets and vehicles for all the kids to play with. To my surprise, the Sweeper was the one vehicle everybody fought over--beating the Monorail, the Skip Track, the Loader, Forklift, and Dozer! In fact, the kids liked using the other vehicles to transport balls to the open part of the layout just so they could dump them on the floor and then sweep them back up! The kids in question ranged from 3yrs old to about 15.

When they finally did get down to business, they quickly learned that the Sweeper has a larger carrying capacity than even the Loader (my personal favorite). So it was the preferred vehicle when completing tasks as well.

Even after 8 years in storage, the Sweeper (and all the other Rok vehicles) held up to hours of punishing play. These are some of the best toys out there, hands-down.
