Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For years I've seen sweepers like this used in bars, restaurants, and other businesses. I've always wondered if the poor employees pushing and pulling these rickety-sounding metal boxes back and forth across the floor were actually accomplishing anything. Well, as it turns out--if they were using this sweeper--they really and truly were cleaning up the floors! This thing works much better than I thought it would. They don't pick up things that are right up against the wall and/or furniture, but out in the open floor, they really shine! Mine has almost resulted in the complete early retirement of my vacuum cleaner! I'm very happy with mine and feel like a fool for buying into the hype that is constantly being promulgated by the huge Vacuum Industrial Complex. These won't pick up things that are much larger than a peanut, but for every day dust, dirt, hair, food crumbles, and other such (dry) spills, these things are great! UPDATE: Well, it was good while it lasted. In the midst of doing some routine sweeping, I barely bumped into the leg of a chair. The handle snapped off right where it was welded to its mount on the sweeper's body. Typical Chinese lousy "craftsmanship." Too late for warranty. I'm torn on whether to recommend this with the caveat that purchasers be VERY careful while using it. If I were being overly rough with it, shame on me. I wasn't, so shame on them.
