Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL 2680 Perfect Sweep Dual Brush Sweeper
Customer Review: Bissell Perfect Sweep works great with teflon tape!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought the Perfect Sweep and it does carpets really well and hard floors okay. I tested the handle and, yes, it does fall apart easily. I took some plumber's thin teflon tape and wrapped it around where the handle sections join (before putting them together... the tape goes on the male end). Each section now goes on and stays on and you can't see the teflon tape because it's under the thinner section of each adjoining section. Try it... you don't see the tape (as with a previous duct tape on the outside of the handle sections solution) and you don't have screw heads sticking out either (if you decided to drill pilot holes and use a sheet metal screw). It works out quite well and you can still remove the handles if you want. Ah, if Bissel had only designed the handle sections so they could twist lock... their ratings would be much better.Customer Review: Simple and effective Perfect Sweep Dual Brush Sweeper
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're like I am, I don't like to have to drag out the vacuum cleaner every time I need a small clean up in the kitchen or basement.
The Perfect Sweep Dual Brush Sweeper is completely portable, lightweight, and gets the job done. It works best on carpeted floors with a light nap, not so well on heavy shag. It does fairly well on tile and wood floors, but the brush mechanisms were best designed to work on carpeted floors.
The feature I best appreciate is the non-electric sweeper action; fewer parts to go wrong, and a lifetime warranty to boot! You can't get that with an electric model.
It is simple and effective, but I give it 4 stars for it not being able to work on all styles of floors easily. Yes, it will clean, but not without more effort than on a flat carpeted floor.
Customer Review: Really good for touch ups
Summary: 4 Stars
This is exactly what I expect it to be! It is super on carpet for cat hair and fuzz, etc. Okay on my 18" tiled floors - picked up cat food and cat litter and some other miscellaneous "stuff".
However my ONLY complaint is that it does not get into the grout very well. If I press down a bit it will take out some of it, but I need to pull out my broom for a quick follow up. Realistically, I wanted it mostly for carpets to pick up cat hair between vacuums. It is very quiet on carpet and a bit noisy on tile floors but not bad.
I plan to Gorilla glue the handle pieces together. They do come apart easily.
Other than those 2 "negatives", I'm really glad I bought this. It will give me a cleaner house and I can touch up while my baby is sleeping.
Customer Review: Quick and Easy!

Well, apparently the folks who wrote the previous reviews didn't all read the booklet that came with this great product. It states that you need to bang the sections of the handle together on an even, hard surface. If you do that, like I did, you should have NO PROBLEMS with the handle coming apart during use. Of course, if you read the other reviews, it may amaze you that some of the authors can even read or write. So its no wonder one of the simplest products in existence would give them problems. I use this sweeper every day, and unlike Sanjaya (American Idol reference, people) it performs spectacularly each time. I highly recommend this as an alternative to vacuuming when needed. It stirs up far less dust than a vacuum, it conserves power, and is very light-weight.Customer Review: It's a brush sweeper, not a vacuum cleaner
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bissell Perfect Sweep is not a vacuum cleaner. I use it daily it to SWEEP our linoleum floor. It performs well but it's not "Perfect". The sweeper is useless on our berber carpet -- for this I use the vacuum cleaner. Also the Bissell can't clean all the way in the corners of the room. Despite these limitations, I'm happy with the sweeper.
The box has explicit directions on how to assemble the handle. I followed the instructions and the handle has yet to come apart. I even lift the Bissell Perfect Sweep by the handle without it coming apart. Guess it's easier to blame Bissell than read the instructions.
This is our second brush sweeper. Our daughter took the first one to her apartment. :-)
