Tools and Hardware Reviews of BISSELL Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2
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: love my sweeper!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
i am very happy with this product. i have a low pile carpets in the rooms my son plays in and i can never find a time to clean them since my son absolutely HATES the vacuum cleaner. this little number did exactly what i wanted and more. it picked up all the little pieces of crackers, snacks, cat hair, MY HAIR, and more! i didnt even know the carpets had all that dirt on them!! im very impressed!
FOR THOSE WITH HANDLE PROBLEMS: i did not have any problems with the handle coming apart. if you read the instructions it will tell you when you put the handle together, to STRIKE DOWN HARD on something. so i took it into the garage, put some old phone books down and did just that. i cannot pull the handle apart now and i even shook the thing with the base attached.
for an item with no suction, and for the price, it is the best!! hoping this item stays for a very long time!!
Customer Review: it sweeps!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great little sweeper for me. I don't expect it to be a miracle cleaner and work for everything, that's why I'm very happy with it. It does what it was designed to do - sweep up bits of stuff from low pile carpet, esp. commercial carpet. I have a habit of not wanting to clean anything until it's late at night, but I can't exactly roll out the vacuum at 2am. So this guy is great for sweeping up the area rugs in my apartment whenever I feel like doing it. I have two short-hair cats and I'm always really surprised at the amount of fur I pick up with this thing! It's really satisfying to see all of that in the compartments before it gets dumped into the trash. I also am responsible for vacuuming the commercial carpet in my building's hallways and this sweeper was really convenient to use in between vacuuming, especially in the fall when people kept tracking leaves inside.
