Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 2680 Perfect Sweep Dual Brush Sweeper
Customer Review: A Broom is Better
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the green model 2670 to sweep cat litter from a bare floor. After going over the area several times, there were still several granules of litter left on the floor. I took my trusty broom and swept the area I just cleaned with the Bissell. It was discouraging to see all the litter the Bissell had missed! I would say the Bissell picked up maybe 75% of the cat litter. For someone who likes to walk barefoot in a clean house, this is not acceptable to me. Besides, it was just as much work to run the Bissell back and forth over and over, as it was to drag the broom across the floor a few times.
Also, this model is not engineered to get very close to the wall on either the front or back side of the sweeper. The brushes are in the center of the sweeper, yet the closed bottom of the sweeper extends a full 3 inches in front of and behind the brushes. Because the brushes must rotate to pick up debris, the Bissell will stop picking up anything 3 to 4 inches from wall.
I am returning the Bissell.
Customer Review: Handle is okay; directions are wrong!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a much older larger Bissell, but the bristles were damaged. This new one works very well on my level loop carpets and floors. I do not find pushing this one a problem, as some people have. I bought the sweeper and put the handle together as instructed on the Fuller broom I bought years ago. I have hung the sweeper up for 2 days, and no problem with the handle. The directions say "Fit smaller tapered end of section into larger end of the next one and push together for a snug fit." instead of PUSHING, TWIST together and after a few turns the sections
will "lock." I held the lower section stationary while I twisted the upper section to the right. It works. I then twisted the handle section to the left to loosen the piece to better align the hole in the handle for hanging properly. I then retwisted to the right lining up the handle better. Hope this helps. I hate vacuums and only use carpet sweepers. This one is great for the price, although the older one had natural bristles.
Customer Review: Easy and Fast Quicker Picker-Upper.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the Bissell on dog hair, cat hair and kitty litter. It picks it all up! No longer do I have to drag out the 12.5 amp Kenmore when the kids drop crumbs on the floor. We have low pile carpet and linoleum and the Bissell works great on both. It fills up fairly quickly if you have a mess to clean, but it only takes a few seconds to empty the machine.
My mom had a similar machine 40 years ago and I can see the improvements Bissell has made over the years with dual rotating brushes. Also, I can use it when everyone is sleeping as it makes no noise compared with my old handheld Boss Stick handheld vaccuum. The Boss died and when I tried to find a battery for it, I found it would almost cost the same to replace it. So I checked around for a cleaner without battery or electric power and I found it with the Bissell.
I recommend the Bissell to everyone who does not have High Pile carpet. It works well on low carpet and bare floors.

Bissell 2680B Perfect Sweep Dual Brush Sweeper
I have to say I really like my Bissell! I read reviews which mentioned the handle coming apart, but I didn't have much trouble - I keep mine put together & have had it for 4 weeks - really picks up lint! I took it from my sewing office (DEW SEW FINE) & went to my mother's house to do her living room quickly before company one night. My parents have a dog, & the carpet really gets full of hair - it really did the job - the carpet looked great in no time! (I emptied both rectangular sections & out came 2 rectangles of dog hair all clumped together - wow!) I also showed it to a friend who has a torn rotator cuff & can't really lift out her big vacuum - she totally loved how easy it is to push across the floor - I think it's going to be her Christmas present along with some Mary Kay products which she usually buys from me!
Customer Review: Great for pet hair and hardwood floors!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just received this today, and I really like it so far. I had already vacuumed the house earlier today, but I was excited to try out this product so I pushed it around the house even though I just vacuumed. I can't believe how much hair and dust it picked up that I couldn't even see and that the vacuum missed! I have mostly hardwood floors with a couple of area rugs, and it seemed to do well on both surfaces. I look forward to using this sweeper every day to keep the floor clean between vacuumings.
The only con I can see so far is that other reviewers are absolutely right about the handle not staying together. It fell apart almost every time I tried to pick the sweeper up off the floor by the handle. I'll use some electrical tape over the handle joints which I'm sure will fix the problem, but it's too bad Bissell doesn't come up with a better design that doesn't fall apart. I'm still quite satisfied with my purchase despite this flaw.
