Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cordless Swivel Sweeper - Original As Seen on TV by Swivel Sweeper
Customer Review: Better than a broom, but not by much
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an interesting product in that I can't quite make out why people go crazy over it. Sure it eliminates having to mess with a dust pan if you use a broom, but you still have to bend over to release and reinstall the very small built in dust tray.
It does pick up link and large particles, but not as effectively as a broom does, especially if you are not in a rush with the broom.
This is our second unit and although its convenient (which is its only real, useful, benefit, the battery life is poor (this is our second unit
I'm away that he new G2 model has a much improved battery, but the price is triple what you can get the original sweeper for, and ten times higher than a broom.
The motor is very weak (I've experienced this one two brand new units) and if anyone has long hair in the household, it will wrap around the brushes and really lower battery life to barely a few minutes between charges (barely enough to get the kitchen floor done)
Considering that it does not pick up everything off the floor, you can only use it on smooth floors (on rugs and carpets, the motor slows down so much that it reduces battery life to about one minute), and you have to clean out the dust tray every time you use it because it fills too quickly, its barely worth $20 that its available for at the time of this writing, but its convenient for a quick pickup of lint if you plan on emptying the dust pan at a later time.
Customer Review: Beware
Summary: 1 Stars
This particular item on this particular page is not a Swivel Sweeper. It's actually a spyware sweeper program for your computer. If you read the description carefully, like I did not, you'll see where it says "CD Rom" I don't know how the software works - haven't tried it out yet. But just be forewarned.Customer Review: Biggest piece of junk ever
Summary: 1 Stars
Got one of these for my birthday... honestly, it is nothing more than a noisy toy. Firstly, it is not very effective - you have to run the darned thing back and forth, back and forth, especially with cat hair, laundry detergent, etc. It somewhat works on perfectly flat surfaces, depending on what you're trying to sweep, so forget tile floors, natural stone floors, door jambs. Forget using it on a rug; also gets tangled in rug fringes. Make sure you keep it level, too, or else all the mess you just swept up falls back out again. Frankly, it is much easier just to take out the dustpan and broom.Customer Review: Broke down
Summary: 2 Stars
The sweeper worked very well on the wooden floors for awhile, then it broke down because of dust inside the rods that make the sweepers turn. I had cleaned the whole thing out twice but now it just doesn't turn at all anymore. I've tried everything except replace the drive motor.Customer Review: Broken before use!

I got a box with no instructions. I put it together as it appeared in the picture. As I was snapping on the main piece that connects the handle to the vaccum piece the cheap plastic snapped. I am trying to hold it together with tape! Hopefully, I'll get my money back! Do NOT buy!
