Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I saw the infomercial for the G2 and as I usually do went on-line and read various reviews. The majority of the reviews were positive so that convinced me to buy the product. I was excited when it arrived and couldn't wait to test it out. I have cats and was hoping it would pick up the cat litter and pet hair without having to always drag out the big vacuum. Right off the bat, I wasn't impressed as I put it together I noticed the handle was very flimsy. According to other reviewers, this had been an issue with the original Swivel Sweeper but several reviewers had said it had been markedly improved with the G2. This is not the case, as I found out relatively quickly. It did do a decent job of sucking things up and in the beginning did well with the kitty litter and cat food on both the tile and carpet. So I thought it might do a good job on my bathroom rugs. I tried it to discover that the head of the sweeper flipped over and all of the contents went flying all over my bathroom floor. I tried to re-suck up the mess only to have the litter and food fly away from the sweeper. After two attempts at this I gave up and went the old fashioned route with the broom and dustpan. Also it left streaks of litter on the floor so I had to mop the floor to get it clean. I was also disappointed that it wouldn't go under the majority of my furniture which is one of the reasons I wanted this particular sweeper. I also found it very noisy and obnoxious sounding. While I think the Swivel Sweeper G2 is a good concept I was very disappointed with its performance and will be returning it for a refund.
