BissellRefresh Manual Sweeper -2198,Blossom (Green)

Great design. Does the job. It’s actually fun to clean the floor.

I vacuum my home about every 7 days. It's a large old house with a mixture of hard and soft surface flooring. Additionally, I live in a rural area with little to no paved or hard surfaces on the exterior. I'm constantly dealing with grass, small rocks and other materials that come in on our shoes, and on my dog's feet. (I have two dogs who live mostly indoors but love to track in most of the yard every time they come in the house!) I bought this little guy to help between the vacuum periods... and I'm in love with it!I read the negative reviews about the handle being so short, but it's not a problem for me. I'm only 5'2" so while it is a little short, it's not an issue. What I love about this little sweeper is how well it cleans. It does a great job of picking up grass and other leafy things that make it inside. It also does a really good job on small rocks and some dirt. One of the unexpected super benefits is the amount of dog hair it gets up! I have been absolutely amazed at how much it picks up! I have a ton of area rugs to help protect the wood floors and it does a wonderful job of helping to keep them clean(er)! Also... I saw some negative comments about it not working well on hard surfaces. I found that if I get a little speed up, it does just fine! Zoom!Emptying the sweeper is pretty easy also, once you get the hang of it (at first I kept missing the trash can but now I've got it!).I bought the little bright green one. It's a happy color for such a routine task! I would highly recommend this little sweeper. It's really helped me keep my floors a lot cleaner in between vacuum's!PS: Don't use in a sewing room! The threads get all caught up in the brushes and it takes a while to get them out! Not a surprise really... that also happens to my big vacuum!

I bought this for my mum for her birthday she absolutely loves it she finds it so easy to use

This sweeper is okay for an occasional light job. It picks up really well, IF you have the "right" rug or carpet. I've tried it on different thickness of rugs and it does better with some than others. Too high of a plush, and it'll take extra effort to get it rolling. Too thin, and it won't pick up a whole lot. I also don't think it'll last very long. The handle is connected to the sweeper by a very small welded (maybe glued) section, and I mean really small. I suspect that if your rug is too thick, it'll require extra effort to get it rolling and the handle will snap. So, it's good for light jobs as it does pick up quite a bit, but the handle is a bit flimsy, so you kind of have to be careful. I also don't think the handle is too short. I'm 5-7 and it works fine for me. Another reviewer also made this suggestion... the top of the handle screws on. You just have to push it in and screw it. Overall, this is an okay product for the price point and what it does.

I love using this in my room for a light clean in between deep cleaning. It gets up hair, dirt, and cat litter. It leaves my room clean and is very easy to use and empty. The only downside to this is the hair getting wrapped around the brushes, it is hard to get off.
