Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoky Carpet Sweeper - 12 1/2"Wx3 1/2"Dx11"L
Customer Review: Excellent for Quick Clean-Ups
Summary: 4 Stars
The product is excellent for quick clean-ups of area rugs & carpets. This is not meant to replace a good vac, but rather to provide an easy way to spruce up your digs in-between. Note that the item does not arrive under the Hoky moniker, but has been replaced by the Oreck name.Customer Review: Hoky PR3000- Can't live without it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I first used one of these back in the eighties, and later wanted one. After installing hardwood floors and adding a couple of area rugs I needed something quiet, and efficient. I remembered one of my sister's gifts at her wedding shower-went on a search on my favorite-Amazon, and there it was. I have had it quite a while and it is easy to take apart. It is easy to clean. I have had no problems, no breakage, and would reccommend it to anyone. What is so appealing to me is that once it is full of hair-(two women in the house) the roller will come out. The ends of it come off and with them the hair ready to be disposed of in the trash. Slide the ends back into place. The bottom opens easily and what you see is a shock. No electricity. The roller can be washed or rinsed off , just make sure to remove the ends of the roller and place them in a safe location until it is dry and ready to be assembled. I have two indoor pets, and it lifts pet hair perfectly. It is so nice also not having to drag out my old vacuum cleaner so much. It is great for someone with back problems.Customer Review: Outperformed my expectations!

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!
