Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 2680 Perfect Sweep Dual Brush Sweeper
Customer Review: Good Enough for Quick (carpet/non carpet) Cleaning
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a carpet floor but I didn't intend to have this product to replace my vacuum cleaner. For light floor surface cleaning, rather than uncoiling the cord of my vacuum cleaner - I just pull this out (sweeper) and start running over (to pick up) lint fibers, bits of papers, small beads, wrapper debris, and others similar to it. And it works fine. Of course, for deeper cleaning, use vacuum.
My rating is four star otherwise five. The only reason to be four star is the size (kind of big) which is not really a big deal for me for it serves the purpose of why I bought it. But pricewise, it is five star. There is a similar product made by rubbermaid which is smaller but the price is twice. At any rate, be careful with the handle - either Bisell or Rubbermaid or other similar products.
Well, I have to wait for more than four months so I can give a better review about this product.
Customer Review: Great for quick jobs in-between vacuumings
Summary: 4 Stars
When buying this product, you MUST keep in mind that the most important piece that needs to work well is the brush/sweeper component. For the price you pay, it picks up most decent sized crumbs/paper/hair off the floor. To me if that works well.... the handle can easily be fixed.
The handle does come apart when carrying/lifting the sweeper... It's a very poor design and should be changed in the future... BUT all that was needed to correct this flaw was an inexpensive 5-minute quick Epoxy and the problem was solved. The handle now stays together and the sweeper is wonderful, easy, and quick for touch-ups.
Also, do not expect this to replace your vacuum... because you will be extremely disappointed. This sweeper will help keep your place tidier during those in-between vacuuming days when you don't feel like doing/undoing cords or lugging out heavy devices.
Customer Review: A good idea in theory; cheap handle broke the deal for me
Summary: 2 Stars
I was so excited about ordering this (sad, I know!). I liked the idea that this vac was human-powered, and that it would allow me to do quick clean-ups between regular vacuuming.
I was disappointed at how cheap the handle was, and how easily it came apart. Basically, in order to ship the thing in a small box, the handle comes in 3 pieces. You have to put them together -- the round tubes just "slide" into each other. Unfortunately the pieces are not threaded, and don't stay together terribly well. If I had a really old vac that needed to be held together with duct tape, that's one thing. However, I'm not keen on having to duct tape brand new things.
The pickup was okay, but not great. After a few passes, there was still dirt on my tile floor. It occured to me that I had not found the magic vac of my dreams, so I ended up sending it back.
Customer Review: If you follow the instructions, the handle is fine
Summary: 5 Stars
I read all the reviews about the handle, gulped, and said, ok, let's try it. Maybe they've improved the handle in the past year, but I've had absolutely no problems with our sweeper. Like a previous poster, I followed the instructions about banging the handle on the floor to seat it properly. The handle also screws on to the sweeper and so I've also never had any problems with the sweeper falling off the handle.
As long as you understand that it doesn't have suction, but merely sweeps the surface stuff off your carpet, it does a great job. I love it because it's much lighter and quieter than our vacuum cleaner, which means that I'm more likely to actually use the thing every day. I also like the fact that it runs on "human power" instead of electricity. It won't replace your vacuum cleaner, but it makes a darn good adjunct for everyday messes.
Customer Review: A Great Carpet Sweeper
Summary: 4 Stars
This sweeper does an impressive job of sweeping my carpet and it's definitely nice not having to plug it in! It was especially nice when I used it to pick up the needles that fell off of the Christmas tree. Only a couple of complaints: The pieces of the handle seems to fall apart easily, so I am thinking about gluing it together so it's all one piece. The designer must have made it that way for easy storage. They should make the handles more like the Swiffer handles which snap together with holes and buttons on each piece. Also, one flap on the bottom of the sweeper that is used to empty the dust compartment gets stuck sometimes, but that might just be a problem on the one I received. I am able to get it unstuck, so it's not that big of a deal. I know once I get the handle glued together that I am going to love it and use it all the time!
