Tools and Hardware Reviews of Cordless Swivel Sweeper - Original As Seen on TV by Swivel Sweeper
Customer Review: Great Little Sweeper!
Summary: 5 Stars
This little sweeper does exactly as advertised! It's not a major cleaning device - and wasn't intended to be one. It's a quick and easy picker-upper and it works just great for that. We have hardwood flooring and a few low mat carpets in the living and dinning rooms - and we use this little baby daily for the simple and quick clean-ups - it's so light and easy to retrieve that it's a pleasure to use. In a couple minutes, all of the daily crumbs and debris are gone. For heavy cleaning we bring out the Hoover. Battery live is actually very impressive compared to other battery cleaning devices (my Dustbuster gives out after about 45 secs - this device has not petered out on me yet even after 15 minutes straight use). Note: I bought this in 2007, so maybe they fixed the battery problem.
Drawbacks - it gets hung-up on higher pile carpet and will lock-up. It needs to be emptied frequently. And, hair and fabrics get tangled in the rotor brushes and need to be cleaned often.
Hint - buy a new one on Ebay for under $20.00 and avoid the infomercial shipping/handling/ and BS that goes along with it. I got mine new for $18 and a reasonable shipping charge.

I have had the Swivel for more than a year. Now the battery is not holding a charge and I am not able to use it, but I have become so addicted to it that I have to get a new one right away. I think that one year is a pretty decent time for a battery to last, given the price of the Swivel. It lasted much longer than the 2 months that other people were talking about. It is perfect for cleaning up crumbs under the table after meals, the junk that people track in from the outside, messes from cooking or crafts with kids, etc. It is so convenient because it is cordless and the mess is sucked right up so you have no pile of junk to sweep up afterwards. It can go under almost anything and I love that there are brushes on every side of it, so it can pick up debris in corners of the house easily. It is a good size that can fit into small places you normally wouldn't get to. It is gentle on wood floors, never scratching, and it is nice to be able to use it on the mats around my house (in front of the doors, the sink, whatever) when I need a quick clean. It is so easy and lightweight that my kids, ages 2, 4, and 6, love to use it and that is such a help for me sometimes! I recommend it!Customer Review: Don't overcharge!

I LOVE this product, and can't say enough good things about it. I purchased this product after being extremely disappointed with a more-expensive Bissell sweeper I purchased (see my review for Bissell 2800B Perfect Sweep Turbo Electric Sweeper).
There are numerous complaints in the reviews from people saying that their battery will no longer hold a charge. In reading the owner's manual, there is a warning addressing the battery life:
"IMPORTANT: ...When recharging, charge time will vary dependent upon the amount of power left in the battery after its last use. Recommended recharging time for the battery after completely depleting is 6-8 hours. Battery may be left in charger for extended periods of time, but do NOT exceed 24 consecutive hours. Doing so may lead to shortened overall battery life. It is not necessary to wait until battery power is fully depleted before charging."
I would be willing to bet that this is the cause of the problem for many of the negative reviewers. In their defense, the warning is somewhat buried in the manual and is fairly easy to miss. The manufacturer of should make this warning much more visible.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY GRANNY 2 YRS. AGO AND IT STILL WORKS GREAT.I ALSO BOUGHT MYSELF 2 OF THEM,THEY ARE WONDERFUL SWEEPERS(NOT VACUUMS). I THINK THE BIG,BIG MISTAKE BEING MADE IS THAT PEOPLE CHARGE THE BATTERY WAY TO LONG.I KNOW IT SAYS TO CHARGE FOR 24 HOURS,BUT REALLY PEOPLE IT IS A VERY SMALL BATTERY.I HAVE HAD GREAT LUCK BY CHARGING MINE FOR 8-10 HOURS AT THE MOST. LET IT FULLY RUN DOWN BEFORE YOU CHARGE IT AGAIN,DO THIS EVERY SINGLE TIME OR THE BATTERY WILL KEEP CHARGING LESS AND LESS.I LEARNED THIS FROM MY KIDS BARBIE JEEP BATTERY,I CHARGED IT EVERY TIME SHE GOT OUT OF IT AND THE BATTERY LOST ITS MEMORY AS THEY CALL IT.I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS FOR PEOPLE WITH SMALL APARTMENTS OR DORM ROOMS.I USE MINE IN MY KITCHEN ALOT AND IT IS REALLY GREAT FOR QUICK PICK-UPS,I LOOK FOWARD TO USING MINE,THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN BECAUSE THEY GET IN THE CORNERS AND AROUND TABLES AND CHAIRS,EVERYONE SHOULD OWN THE SWIVEL SWEEPER. LAST BUT NOT LEAST KIDS LOVE USING THESE,MY 4 YEAR OLD CLEANS MY GRANNYS FLOOR EVERY WEEK,ITS GREAT BECAUSE SHE CANT TEAR IT UP IF SOMETHING GETS CAUGHT IN IT,THEY SHUT OFF.
