Shark Cordless Power Sweeper Review

Shark Cordless Power Sweeper
Average Reviews:

I bought this because I am obsessive about my floors and I used to vacuum every day. I wanted to be able to have the carpet look nice all the time without dragging out the big vacuum. This product works and meets my need. However, I bought it in March and it is now June and it seems a bit worn out. It was quiet and now it is loud. It sounds like it is breaking down....it doesnt hold a charge as long anymore but it still works. My baby is crawling now and it keeps all the little choking hazards up. I feel like it won't last much longer but I am thankful I have it right now.

Ontel Touchless Swivel Sweeper Review

This "Touchless" is even better than my first Swivel Sweeper. Being able to hold it over the trash and push the button to empty vs release a tray, pick it up, bang it on the side of the trash and find the holes to replace. It also has cleaning tools and a magnet that holds the "head" next to the pole for slimmer storage. I use it almost daily and charge it once a week. I have hardwood, tile and vinyl and also use it on area rugs so that I really don't need my vacuum. If I had carpeting it wouldn't suffice for more than quickie pick ups. There are 2 caveats 1) don't overcharge the battery. With my first I just left it in the charger for sometimes days between uses and I think I drained it so that it wouldn't hold a charge. Now I make sure I don't charge it for over 24 hours like the directions indicate. 2) it is a moderate pain to clean the hair out of the brushes. I also have a Roomba so I am used to cleaning the unit regularly. That said, I love it that it is so easy and quick; it goes under beds and sofas and areas that don't require you to move furniture. You just can't beat how easy it allows you to quickly clean your major areas daily in minutes. It doesn't scratch my wood floors,which was a concern. I don't know about you but I frequently "miss the counter" in the kitchen on a daily basis and don't like "feeling" stuff on my bare feet. Daily swiveling takes care of that in an instant.

Updated: January 7, 2006
I have now owned the product for six months. I have nothing to change in my review. I am surprised that people are having so many problems with this product. My unit still works fine; the battery holds a charge; the pole has not broken; the handle has not broken. Maybe my unit is not typical. However, you do need to have realistic expectations for this product. The Swivel Sweeper is not a new revolutionary cleaning apparatus worthy of a patent (as the info commercial implies). It is just an electric sweeper for quick clean ups. If you want the thorough results that a vacuum provides--use a vacuum.
Original Review
I have owned my Swivel Sweeper for two weeks. If you are looking for something better than your dust pan, this is the product for you. If you are looking for something to replace your vacuum cleaner, you are going to be disappointed. The pros: light weight, high quality, cordless, rechargeable, easy to use, maneuverable. The cons: overpriced, can't ever replace a vacuum, time-consuming periodic cleaning. The product is just what I was looking for: a cordless, rechargeable, electric dust pan that I could keep in the kitchen next to the refrigerator and pull out twice a week and sweep the kitchen floor. I have a light colored tile floor and it shows every little particle of dirt. In addition, my cat spreads Friskies on the floor and the sweeper picks up those nicely. The Swivel Sweep is a fairly high quality product. All the parts look well designed, fairly durable (they are just plastic), and fit together well.
The Swivel Sweep is oversold on the info commercial (as to be expected). It will never take the place of a vacuum cleaner. It is not a vacuum cleaner. It creates no suction. It is simply a sweeper. I would summarize it as an electric dust pan. The product has four rotating brushes that sweep items into a small centralized dust pan with openings on all four sides. The Swivel Sweeper is much quieter than a traditional vacuum cleaner; however, one would not use it in a room with a sleeping baby as advertised--it is not that quiet. It makes a tone with medium-high pitched whine. The picture on the box shows the product being used to sweep dirt from a carpet after a house plant has been toppled--forget it! That is not a good use of this product. Use a real vacuum cleaner for that job. This product is really only effective on hard surfaces. A dust pan is not what I would use on a carpet. Yes, you could pick up small items sitting on the surface of a carpet like paper clips, but realistically, to clean a carpet adequately, one should use a vacuum cleaner with strong suction and a powerful beater brush to separate the carpet strands. The Swivel Sweeper has neither of these. The Swivel Sweep is not comparable to a real vacuum cleaner. The Swivel Sweeper has problems picking up some very small items even on hard surfaces. Sometimes an item will shoot across the floor instead of going into the dust pan. I find myself going over the same area multiple times to pick up some items (but no big deal).
Because the product is fairly new, it is a bit overpriced. I think $29 would be more appropriate. I would expect to see it at Target in a year or two for $19.95. Emptying the dust pan is easy. Cleaning the sweeper is not. The Swivel Sweeper comes with a "cleaning tool" which is nothing more than a thread cutter/seam ripper (if you know what that is). Hair (human hair) gets wound around all four brushes and needs to be periodically cut and vacuumed out. The manual says "on occasion" this cleaning need to be done. The manual indicates the battery will last 45 minutes on one charge. That seems reasonable since I am still on the original charge and have used the sweeper about 10 times.
Overall, I am pleased with the product.

Holloway House 1275-00001A Quick Shine Cordless Glide Sweeper Review

Holloway House 1275-00001A Quick Shine Cordless Glide Sweeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This idea, the cordless sweeper, has been a great invention for those of us with non-carpeted flooring that seems to show every spec of dirt or hair. While all models out there have the basic four sweeper brushes that do a good job of picking up dirt, a tray to empty, and a rechargeable battery, the overall disappointment with this is the Ni-Cad battery it uses. This translates to low usage time since it doesn't last more than a week of casual use on a full charge, a gradual loss of sweeping power (similar to a handheld vac when the battery is dying) so that the remaining power is too weak to be useful yet you risk "memory" damage if you recharge it. Consquently, when it is losing the battery power, you have to sit it in a corner to let it die out completely, then set it on the charger. My particularly battery was utterly useless after less than 6 months. I had regular usage of my hardwood floors and I cannot find a replacement battery, even on the manufacturers website. This would be a great product if not for the battery issue.

For cleaning made effortless, turn to this all-in-one sweeper, broom, and vacuum. The slim, lightweight unit offers a sleek alternative to cumbersome cleaning equipment, and its unique battery-operated design--complete with a long-lasting, rechargeable battery--eliminates the hassles of restrictive cord lengths and electrical outlet limitations. Designed to glide easily over hardwood, tile, marble, laminate, rugs, and carpeting, the sweeper efficiently lifts dust, debris, lint, crumbs, and other messes and traps them in its bag-less tray for simple disposal. Even more, its wheel-free design allows for side-to-side and 360-degree swiveling motion, while sweeping brushes on all four of its sides thoroughly clean along baseboards, beneath cupboards, and in tight corners. A great choice for busy families, homes with pets, and smaller living spaces such as apartments and condos, the unit also makes a smart addition to RVs, cabins, and more. The cordless glide sweeper measures approximately 7 by 15 by 45 inches.

Swivel Sweeper G2 -2 Units Inlcuded Plus 2 Bonus Mini Sweepers Review

Swivel Sweeper G2 -2 Units Inlcuded Plus 2 Bonus Mini Sweepers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Swivel Sweeper G2 works extremely well on hard floors. It's light weight and swivel to get around tight crevices. It also does a fairly decent cleaning job right up against the wall on hard floors and even carpets. Although for carpet cleaning in the central area of the room, you're better off using a conventional vacuum cleaner for that. The reason for this, that this sweeper is not a vacuum but a power brush system that would only get the surface dust off the carpet leaving the ground in dust.
We bought this sweeper to use on hard floors prior to washing them. For that function it does extremely well, keeping the mop relatively lint free. For use on carpeting, you have to be careful that you don't cause the sweeper to flip and spilling the contents back onto the carpet. Since this kind of sweeper with no suction doesn't clean ground in dirt well on carpeting, I would not recommend it for this purpose.
Previously, we bought the original Swivel Sweeper and now the Swivel Sweeper G2. When comparing the two, they both clean equally well. The Swivel Sweeper G2 is a little bit more convenient to use because of the refinement such as easier emptying as well as the articulating handle when you need to go underneath furniture.

Average Reviews:

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!

Shark V1950 Cordless VX3 Carpet & Floor Sweeper Review

Shark V1950 Cordless VX3 Carpet and Floor Sweeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The people at Shark and Euro-Pro cleaning companies have always known how to make so many great products with vacuums, and carpet sweepers. Nevertheless, when it comes down to it, it really is on how well the vacuum really lasts. Shark's previous cordless sweepers have all done a great job at picking up after everyday messes, but they have been some glitches. I was honestly very skeptical with the latest model when I saw it on television, and I liked it a lot, but as I started to use it, I was hoping for just a bit more. Here is my verdict.
The Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper is the latest in Euro-Pro's well-recieved carpet sweeper line. This one does a good job at picking up after pet hair and fuzz, and is very simple to setup. You can pick up actually a lot of pet hair, fuzz, or anything off your floors and carpets. It is easy to charge up, and does really works well. The no-mess dust cup is very simple to clean up, and easily removes all that was picked up from the floors. The vacuum is also very easy to carry around, and take from room to room, without feeling the drag of carrying around your vacuum and getting a backache.
That is what I think, even though there really are a few problems that still make could've been a bit easier to pick up after. The first problem deals with the battery. ou have to really keep the sweeper plugged in to your outelt for at least a day, inorder to fully charge a the battery. The VX3's battery also could've had a bit stronger battery life than just an hour long. The second problem deals with the backsaver feature. While the VX3 does pick up well, and is easy to operate, I had a tricky time manuvering the VX3 with the backsaver handle. While the concept is ingenius at folding the handle to make it easier at picking up under the beds and those hard-to-reach areas, it is honestly a little bit harder to control and steer the sweeper.
Still, despite a few problems with the Shark VX3 Cordless Sweeper, I still think it is a very good buy for anyone who wants a easier way to clean up after all those messes on the floor. It just does a great job at really cleaning up your floors and is great for small homes and apartments, or any home that works at a great pace. While you can get this though the As Seen On TV ads, you also can find this at your nearest Macy's for around $70, instead of getting both the VX3 and VX1 models like the infomercial says in its offer for $130. So, suck those problems on the floor away, and try this sweeper out.

Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo Powered Triple Brush Sweeper, 2880B Review

Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo Powered Triple Brush Sweeper, 2880B
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this handy sweeper from Sears because I wanted something to pick up after the kids and our pets without having to lug the big vacuum out all the time just to clean up small messes. I was initially skeptical at first, but I knew I would be able to return it to Sears if I wasn't entirely satisfied. The setup and assembly was very quick. Just screw the wands together, attach it to the base, then charge it up. The first charge needs a full 16 hours to condition the batteries, thereafter the unit only needs 12 hours to recharge. I couldn't believe what this thing picked up. Everything from cat hair, litter, crumbs, and just about everything else that manages to find its way to the floor and carpet. Of course, sweepers aren't meant for big, hefty jobs, or for deep cleaning your carpets(this is a job for your vacuum), but they sure come in handy for in-between cleanups of small spills and messes. However, it's important to remember that sweepers are *NOT* vacuums. They have NO suction. They are designed to "sweep" the surface of your carpet and floors for quick, light pick-ups. That being said, I've been completely let down by Dustbusters and all those other "handvacs" that really didn't do anything but make a bunch of noise and lose their power after about 10 minutes of use. After using this, I figure I should only need to thoroughly vacuum once or twice a week now, instead of the usual everyday vacuuming that I used to do...
Bissell has designed a real winner here. I'm just curious to see how long the unit and the batteries will last. For some reason, they're still using old NiCad technology here, which is famous for developing the "memory effect" that renders them all but useless after about a year or so. The manual also says the batteries are NOT replaceable and must be disposed of when the unit has reached its useful life... The sweeper has a one(1)year warranty, so we'll see how that works out. For now, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase, and would recommend this to anyone who needs a sweeper or simply wants a quick fix for lugging the main vacuum out all the time. Excellent product!

Hoky Carpet Sweeper Review

Hoky Carpet Sweeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The picture shown on the screen isn't exactly what I got in the mail.
Aside from the spacial dimensions being the same, the color is different,
and mine says "HOKY PR 3000" instead of "HOKY, by Oreck". It doesn't matter, because this thing is a marvel in action! It picks up everything in sight, plus most of what you don't see. It uses an 8 flapped rolling pin, having tiny treaded dots on them, to swipe away even heavier or coarse uneven objects, like coins and popcorn. In action, I'd have to guess it works just as well as any electric vacuum.
As on all Hokys, there are 2 foldable dust compartments (on this model being spring loaded) slightly accessible to each other inside. The dust can be deposited in either one, depending on which direction you vacuum.
The 3 foot long aluminum handle comes in segmented parts. In action, it can lower fully flat against the vacuum head to reach low crevices. The 4 vinyl wheels are spaced close together, and provide better traction than plastic. Also, there are 4 small horsehair brushes at each corner, covering the 2" gaps that the rolling pin can't touch. When combined, they clean the whole length of the vacuum head.
As a complete package, I give this machine 5 well-earned stars!
