The front edge of this dustpan has no lip so that some of the swept-up items fly under the edge and back onto the floor, instead of into the dustpan.

This dustpan is sturdy and well balanced, and will hold a lot of stuff. The opening is wide enough to use a Swiffer pad to sweep things into the dustpan, but as another reviewer stated, the lip is not well designed -- fine particles, small nails, etc. tend to go under the edge instead of inside where they belong. A damp Swiffer pad generally picks up what doesn't get swept into the dustpan.

The other minor annoyance with this product is that the handle will not stay tightly screwed in, no matter how hard I cinch it down. Maybe it's because I'm left-handed, but it's still a nuisance. A few drops of Gorilla Glue on the threads did the trick to keep the handle permanently tightened to the dustpan.

Despite these problems, I liked the first one well enough to purchase a second -- now I have one for the house and one for the garage.

I purchased this item WITH a handle and the item arrived without the handle. I'm very disappointed, and attempted to return it without success. This item should be avoided!
