I purchased this item knowing full well that I was taking a risk. What if it was NOT as grand as the infomercial made it out to be? Still, I'm somewhat limited physically (I'm an old bird, ok?) and I liked the idea of something lightweight to keep up with the little everyday messes at home. I share my home with two Chihuahuas and two cats. Enough said. Oh, and I live on a mountain...so "stuff" gets tracked in frequently.

This sweeper is phenomenal. I charged it up the day it arrived. After nearly two weeks of everyday use, and asking a LOT of it (cat litter, dog hair, lint, and some nails that got spilled long ago...) I find it is amazing for its size and weight. I have yet to re-charge the battery; it's still going strong. It goes everywhere, and sucks up everything effortlessly. I also love the little cleaning tool that came with it. I use it on my "regular" vacuum as well, to untangle the cat hair and such...why the big vac manufacturers haven't thought of this I don't know.

At any rate, this item is a winner. I have recommended it to everyone I know, particularly those who have pets. It's not perfect for heavy duty carpet cleaning, but on the other hand, I did use it to clean up my dogs' fleece bed after they crunched up a dry leaf all over it...guess what...it grumbled a bit, but it cleaned everything up. The easy empty feature is worth a lot to me too; and as I have arthritis, I appreciate not having to bend and crawl under furniture to sweep up.

Thank you Ontel for a wonderful wonderful product!

As far as electric brooms go, this thing really performs well.

Pros:

1. Battery charge lasts forever. Honest I've been using it a little everyday for about two weeks and still on the first charge. I guess it takes a lot less energy to turn a motor to spin the brushes than to create suction in a vacuum.
2. Having four rotating brushes to sweep material in to the waste compartment from all four sides works great.
3. Very easy to empty.
4. Very light
5. Great for picking up visible debris of various sizes.
6. Pretty good on carpeted stairs.
7. Sweeps hard surfaces, rugs and carpets. Brushes aren't so powerful that they gobble up rugs.
8. Includes a useful onboard tool that can be used to cut/remove hair and strings that will inevitably get wound around brushes.
Cons:
1. Kind of loud
2. On/Off switch located on handle kind of low. Would be nice to have some sort of foot peddle, but not that big of deal.
3. Don't expect this to replace a regular vac. Doesn't do much with dust or microscopic stuff. Actually stirs up dust on hard surfaces, but so does an old fashioned broom.

Summary:
For $40 I think this was well worth the purchase. It's great for people who hate to clean because it is so easy and effective and great for neat freaks like me who constantly clean because it is so easy and effective.

The sweeper works pretty good. We have a pet rabbit and her wood shavings get all over the place & the sweeper actually picks them up without having to lug out the big vacuum with its cord etc. The suction is very good! The only thing is that hair gets all caught up in the brushes and hard to get off. However, the easy touchless dirt dispenser is great and no more messy hands to clean out the dirt! Definitely a good deal.

I don't understand some of the negative reviews I've read about this. I love this unit! The 4 sweeping brushes pick up everything in it's path. Can reach places where most sweepers can't, and the swiveling makes it that much easier.
I have an expensive vacuum cleaner that's big and bulky, this actually does a better job, go figure.
I am usually skeptical about TV products, but this one is a winner!!

This is exactly what I was looking for--a light cordless sweeper for very quick pickups. Of course it doesn't pick up as well as my regular upright vacuum, but then again, it can swivel and go into places and corners my vacuum can't go.

It does a decent job of picking up crumbs+ that my parrot drops, and some shedding from my dog, as well as the usual crumbs and stuff in the kitchen and around our great room wood floor. It even picked up soot and pine needles by the woodburning stove and the wood pile next to it.

Did OK on rugs too, and surprisingly well on carpeted steps. And the battery charge seems to last a very long time.

CONs: It's hard to navigate with the elbow bent--and that bending part of the handle seems to be wobbley when in the upright position (maybe I didn't attach it securely enough?). And, yes, it gets very dusty on the top of the sweeper--but nothing that a damp paper towel can't handle quickly. And I'm probably going to have to clean hair out of the brushes everytime--but then again, I have my long hair plus pet hair on the floor so that's not the sweeper's fault. I also found it a bit difficult to empty the collection tray--not quite as easy as shown.

All in all, I think I recommend this for quick pickups.

I have cats and 3 new carpets that are low weave and shed (both cats and carpets). This little sweeper is really amazing. Eventhough it isn't a vacuum, it picks up so much cat hair and it also picks up the shedding carpet. I also have a bird and it picks up all the seeds that she drops. I charge it once and it lasts for weeks. It is a bit loud. It is so easy because it stores flat and there is no cord to plug in. You can just grab it and clean your floor and carpet in two minutes. Really, the amount of hair this picks up, even just a few days after vacuuming, it is amazing.

saw this product on TV and got it thru PETCO via Amazon. The initial product they shipped didn't work -- the battery has to be charged for 8 hours before initial use -- the product never worked. Called PETCO customer service and they were very nice. They sent a replacement product via FEDEX (free of cost) next day service and told me to drop of bad product at nearest store. The replacement works like a charm -- the nice thing is the brushes rotate and this was you just have to hold the sweeper on floor. Is able to get into hard to reach places like below furniture and edges of floor. Very easy to store since it comes with joints that can be rotated. Needs very little recharging battery life has been good so far -- just make sure u get a good battery or u will be forced to call PETCO customer service. Would highly recommend the product for people with small kids since it is very easy to use after my 3 year old has spilled food all over floor. works well of carpets and hard wood floors alike - easy grip since the brushes are battery powered -- the cordless feature makes it easy to use over wide space without having to worry about electric connection to plug. Easy to dispose of dirt when lid is fool. Comes with a nice comb that can be used to clean brushes.

I bought this sweeper after watching the infomercial about 20 times on tv. I decided to buy it even though I've had bad experiences in the past with these sort of things. When it came, I was so excited and anxious to try it so I plugged it up for the 8 hours that was required first and then tried to sweep my floor with it. I have mostly carpet in my apartment excluding the kitchen and bathroom; it worked ok on the carpet at first but never good on the tile. After maybe 3 uses it started kicking dust and dirt back on to the carpet and not sucking hardly at all. I cleaned it out completely to see if that would do the trick, but it never worked the same. For [...] bucks I could have bought a real vacuum cleaner or paid a professional to clean it. I was very dissapointed and returned it right away. Its just not powerful enough.

I watched the infomercial on this product several times - very closely. I also read all the reviews on Amazon.com before I purchased. Some were not so good but most seemed to like the product. I don't know if I got a dud or if they doctor the commercial. The product not only would not pick up a fourth of the dirt, it scattered it around. I was very disappointed. Amazon.com came through again, though, as they usually do. They approved the return and I got all my money back. I love shopping here. Mahalo Amazon.

When i don't feel up to bending down to hand-brush the litter the cats push out around the boxes (on tile, with oriental rugs nearby), this product is the best. Particularly when new. I did overcharge a battery once, and the replacement battery i got did not help at all, so that was a bummer -- but luckily i had bought several sweepers (after a friend gave me one) so that was okay. Not recommended for full house cleaning, but totally wonderful around the litter boxes: a great help with a daily chore.
