Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL Sturdy Sweep Sweeper, 2402B
Customer Review: Great for cleaning up in between vacuumings
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this sweeper to sweep my basement carpet, which is dark in color and shows every bit of fuzz. It does a reasonable job cleaning, transforming my carpet from "Does she ever vacuum?" to "Oh, she must have vacuumed yesterday". It doesn't get all the fuzz and crumbs, but it does what I'd expect from a sweeper. It is also much lighter than my vacuum, so I'm much more likely to use it.
My three-year-old daughter enjoys using it too. She insists on sweeping her own room (I won't complain).
The main thing I've learned is that, because the handle slides together, it will not consistently support the weight of the sweeper head. This means that if you pick it up or suspend it by the top of the handle, the sweeper will probably fall off, so pick it up near the sweeper. (It stays together fine when actually sweeping.)
Customer Review: Choose your sweeper wisely
Summary: 4 Stars
This sweeper is exactly what one would expect for $24. It does a fairly good job of picking up pieces of things, though isn't a choice option for things like pet hair (unless you really want a workout.) Also, it's best for smoother rug textures.
Why do I own this? My toddler is scared of the vacuum, yet scatters Cheerios liberally across the carpet. This lets me get the worst of the mess while she's awake so less gets ground in. Also, the handle comes in 4 slide-together sections. We're currently using only 2 sections so that my daughter can "help" as the mood hits. So far, so good! I give this 4 stars because, like most things, it works ~slightly~ less well than one might wish.
Customer Review: Good sweeper for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice little sweeper. Others have said they had problems with the handle coming apart, but we haven't had any problems with that. I put it together as instructed, set it upright on the garage floor (didn't want to damage any indoor flooring), and hit the top with a hammer/mallet a few times. Seems to be very sturdy. Being a manual product, it takes some arm power to maneuver, but it's lightweight and actually requires less effort than our bulky vacuum cleaner. Since it has no suction, it doesn't have the pick-up power of a vacuum cleaner, but it's good for light touch-ups and spills which is what it was meant for. It's also nice that there are no cords to mess with.Customer Review: One irritating problem
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a handy little sweeper, light weight, narrow enough to fit between the legs of dining room chairs, etc. It does a great job of picking up pet hair and the type of gritty dirt we get in our area. It's one problem? The handle fits to the base by pushing on rather than screwing. No matter how hard I try, even bopping it with a hammer, it still pulls off. I may resort to gluing that just for the irritation factor, but the sweeper itself works great. No cord. No batteries to charge. Just an old fashioned sweeper like mom had.Customer Review: Exactly as it says - sturdy
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm happy with this sweeper. I have hardwood floors with a few large carpets, and I use this to keep my carpets clean in between vaccuming, because my 3-year old is terrified of the regular vaccuum, so I can't use that as often. There's actually not much to vaccum when I do, this sweeper works so well. I knocked off one star because it doesn't work as well on hardwood floors. I thought I might have problems with the handle, because it just sticks on with no screws, but I haven't, and I use this sweeper every day.
