Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 2680 Perfect Sweep Dual Brush SweeperCustomer Review: What's with these Handle Problems? Summary: 4 Stars
OK...like most others considering an old time push pull sweeper I was looking for an quick simple sweeper for use between regular vacummings. I confess that I really needed an easy solution to clean up after our grandchildren after eating. Crumbs on the floor from things that weren't even supposed to have crumbs...I digress.
Bissel has been making these things for about forever so I decided to check out their latest offerings. After reading the reviews from other purchasers I came away with the feeling that this sweeper would work fine EXCEPT for the multitude of complaints about the handle coming apart quite easily. I almost didn't order the darn thing but after thinking about it for awhile I decided that there was never a handle made that I couldn't find a way to keep together so order the Perfect Sweep I did.
Now as far as MY experience with the handle issue so many people have spoken to...well...I have not had any issues at all. I followed accompanying assembly directions and then did everything in my power to get the handle to separate after hours of normal use and then forcefully by hand. Nothing. It held firmly! I dare say I hope I'll never have any reason to need to disassemble the handle because I believe it might require vise grips and a vise.
I'd like to offer a little advise to those that like everything about this sweeper except the handle issues they are experiencing. Next time it comes apart try reassembling it by taking the lower section and placing it on a hard concrete surface while tapping the joining upper section with a hammer. Not alot of force necessary, just a few moderate taps. Do that with each section junction and I think you'll find your problem is solved.
As for the rest of the sweeper, it performed as expected. No...it won't replace your vacumm but it's very effective for surface debris. Works far better on solid flooring than thick carpeting. It grabbed each and every tiny, grandchild produced, crumb under the kitchen table for certain!
If anybody reading this remembers the old Bissel sweepers of a few decades ago...you might be disappointed to find that the 2008 version doesn't appear to be made nearly as solidly as those of yesteryear which I guess you couldn't expect for a lousy $30 but that said it does come with a lifetime warranty. Which invites the question: Whose lifetime? But thats another discussion for later.
If you have reasonable expectations of what the design purpose is for the Bissel Perfect Sweep I think you'll be happy you took the leap of faith that I did. Don't worry too much about all the handle comments previously posted...I'm guessing many relied too much on their hand assembly method, contrary to following the actual assembly directions.
