Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2
Customer Review: Great! But what's with that handle?
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the reviews on this product and decided to take the chance. I agree it works great but the handle is defective. For the price I didn't mind spending the extra time to tape it together. All that matters is that it works right?
I work with a Podiatrist and I needed something to pick up the toenails off the floor. The sweeper picks the nails up well enough for me to be pleased, but it does take several passes in order for this to happen. The best part is it doesn't run on electricity, so there's no worry of batteries dying or any obnoxious noises. I tried it out at home first picking up wood splinters from around the fireplace. I just might buy a second one for the house too!
So to sum up, the product works well, but that handle is down right awful...I couldn't lift it up without it falling to pieces. God only knows why they didn't either taper the ends or have them screw in. This is what stops it from having 5 stars!
It is definitely worth the money and I highly recommend it
Customer Review: Great Carpet Sweeper
Summary: 5 Stars
This sweeper helps our family tons by picking up crumbs from the floor around the dining area and all the nuts and seeds our parrots throw on the floor! It works on bare floors, but not as well as on carpets. These used to be called "carpet sweepers", until bare floors became all the rage! I don't have many bare floors so it is not a problem for us. I love being able to pick up debris without lugging out the huge heavy Dyson vacuum we have. Then when I do vacuum, there is a lot less work to do.
Another reviewer mentioned a problme with the handle falling apart. I followed the directions to put the handle together (by banging it on the floor after putting the parts together) and it is fine. It has never fallen apart.
Someone else mentioned that it isn't a very strong vacuum, maybe because it's NOT a vacuum! It is manual. These have been around since the turn of the 20th century and they work great without electricity, thank you very much.
I like it a lot, I expect it to do what it is designed to do, and it does.
Customer Review: So efficient and cute!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was surprised at how swiftly this swept, especially all the dust particles that I can't even see. The roller in the middle and two collection compartments on either side really maximizes its pick-up efficiency. It also picks up lint and bits of paper, but not "heavier" or bigger objects like paper clips. I am grateful it doesn't need any electricity, because I can't stand the tornado-like sound of regular electric-powered vacuums. (Although this sweeper isn't entirely silent--it sounds kind of clunky rolling around, but it's not a big deal.)
One vice is that the roller is in the middle, so you can't sweep in dust/lint 2-3 inches from the wall and corners of anything. Also, the rubbery square band fell off after about 3 weeks, and I'm still not sure whether I actually need it or not. But it's not sticking back to the unit... Oh well...
All in all, really fun. My 21 year-old boyfriend wanted to sweep and ran around the hallway with it, dancing all the way.... Haha, weird sight.
Customer Review: A real little workhorse
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product based on its reviews. I also had a bit of trouble with the handle falling apart at first. After assembly, I had banged it on the (magazine on the) floor as directed by a couple of the reviewers. The top part still came off. So I unscrewed the handle, reassembled the top part and turned it upside down and, this time, banged the top part of the handle on the floor. This made it all snap together and I have not had any further trouble with the handle coming apart since.
Otherwise, the product is very handy to have around for a quick sweep daily. Works great and is so easy to empty. Does not work in corners and along baseboards and is a bit noisier than I thought it would be but, overall it gets my floors and carpets clean quickly and easily. So lightweight too. It's great! One of my best purchases of the past 12 months. I will get another for upstairs.
Best price was from Ace Hardware. Quick delivery too.
Customer Review: Certainly Not A Vacuum- Does What I Am Looking For
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this carpet sweeper to clean up crumbs on an area rug under our kitchen table (I've got a 5 and 2 year old). Also thought it would be nice to clean up some lint on the carpeting. I've never owned a carpet sweeper. This one does what I wanted and I was pleasantly surprised. Here's the skinny after a night of rugged use:
1. It cleans up crumbs on an area rug pretty well as long as you go over the spot a couple times.
2. It picks up lint after a couple passes, but let's face it; it is not a vacuum, you don't get a deep clean.
3. Yes, like many of the other reviews, the handle comes apart easily. Luckily I have some black duct tape which will take care of it- no big deal. I expected this based on previous reviews.
4. It seems to not work on tile at all. I would avoid it if that is what you are looking for.
5. It is easy to push and relatively quiet. No motors.
6. Easy to empty.
