Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of BISSELL Swift Sweep Sweeper, 2201-2
Customer Review: Good buy for the money!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm very satisfied with this sweeper. For $19.99 it is great at doing quick pickups. Make sure you follow the instructions when putting the handle together, and you'll have no problems with it staying together.Customer Review: Good for carpets; useless for hardword floors
Summary: 2 Stars
The manufacturer's description is misleading. It sounds like it's an all-around basic sweeper, but it does not work on hard-wood floors. Sure, for carpets, it's quite helpful, but that's not why I bought it. We have the pricey vacuum for our one and only oriental carpet (I have allergies). I wanted something to pick up all the debris my kids bring in on our hardwood floors, which cover the remainder of our house. The sweeper picks up nothing. Literally, you can run it over the same spot 5 times, but you'll be very lucky if it picks up anything. It's really meant for carpets -- the rollers inside use the friction with the carpet fibers to pick up debris. Without that friction, nothing happens.
Yes, the handle doesn't work on mine either, but that didn't concern me: a piece of packing tape easily solves that. My problem is that the product is not as versatile as the manufacturer leads you to believe.
Customer Review: Good for the money
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this sweeper because I have a black cat and a light carpet and did not want to pull out the vacuum every time she sat down on the rug. She sheds constantly. The sweeper has a little plastic cover on the end of the handle which cracked by the third time I used it. It picks up the cat hair fairly well. I find I have to go over the area a few times. I think for the money spent, you can't be too picky. It does a decent job.Customer Review: Got a "Mommy's Approval"!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two toddlers who are terrified of the vaccuum, and those with toddlers know just how messy they can be. So I bought this to help with inbetween cleaning, when Daddy wasn't around to take the kiddos somewhere else, and was blown away by how well it worked!!! It picked up everything from cockie crumbs to hair. And I have not had any problems with the handle, as reported in other reviews. I am extremely happy with my purchase.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.
