Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Flex2x will pick up small smooth rounded objects, but not small pieces from where my dog chewed up a plastic ball. It picked them up all right, but clogged at the handle. In addition, it takes some effort to release the base head to the sweeping position. You need to hold down the head with one foot, hold the top with one hand and push hard with your other hand to release the lever. The batteries are another story. It takes 3.5 hours to recharge (per the instruction manual). I did as instructed, fully charged the first battery, used it until empty. Went to recharge, as instructed in the manual, and had to wait for an hour for the battery to cool down enough to recharge. The batteries, as instructed, are to be stored with a partial charge only. Well, you need to plan a couple of hours in advance of using the sweeper, waiting for the battery to get a full charge. I wanted sweeping to be an easy process, not an event! The Great things: It is light and does fold down to be stored in a small space, easily. It is very easy to use as it doesn't have a cord to deal with and is super light. In sweeping, it out performed a Dyson, Bissell, and i-Roombot. It picked up ALL of the dog hair on the carpet (my dog is young and is shedding her baby coat) in a single pass, the others took several passes (rated from best to worse above). If you can deal with the batteries and the acrobatics to release the floor head, I would recommend the unit highly.
