BISSELLSturdy Sweep, Lightweight Sweeper, Lay-Flat, For Carpet, Hard Floors, Area Rugs, 2402E

So glad I found this ! As a busy mum with young children who hate the noise of the hoover and can never get anything done this is a no brainer. I bought this with the intention of being able to do a quick tidy up when the children are asleep without waking them or the downstairs neighbours and although not completely silent its very quiet, picks up a lot and the children think it's magic and always want to use it. Works much better on carpet than hard flooring but does still work well. Its very sturdy and can withstand being rammed into furniture by a toddler, free standing and slides under furniture too. I do wish there was a tool to clear the hair off the main brush though but that's the only downside really! I would recommend for those who want a quick, quiet, back and energy saving option to tidy up the floor in-between hoovering you'll be surprised how much it picks up!

Last year (2024) I had a beige/light brown carpet fitted in my living room/hallway, with which, I am very pleased.Unfortunately, it tends to show the "bits" that gather, via daily usage, quite quickly and easily.So, to avoid having to lug out my faithful Henry Hoover, 3/4 times a week, I was thinking of getting a smaller, hand held, or mini handled upright vacuum cleaner.But someone suggested it would just be as effective for the job to purchase a "carpet sweeper."Having grown up in the 60#s, I was aware of a number of people who used to use them regularly.So, having done some research, the Bissell Sturdy Sweep, kept popping up and (generally) achieving positive views.Therefore, I decided to take the plunge and buy one.As others have stated, it was a bit of a faff/fuss to put the handles together (especially with my shaky hands!) and I was worried about "cross threading," the separate parts.However, I eventually managed it and the resulting handle seems to be very tightly fitted and reliably sturdy.I immediately set to having a go on my "bitty" carpet and was very impressed with the results.It easily picked up all of the "bits" and left my carpet looking as pristine as if I'd used the hoover on it.The unit is small and compact, but seems to be perfect for its intended use.I've yet to try it on the lino, in the kitchen, where occasional spills of sugar/coffee etc, I suspect will be more of a problem, but I'll not find that out until there's some sort of "spillage" and I'm not going to create one, just to test my theory! 😉😉Quite a few reviewers have commented that, in their experience, the unit is flimsy and the handle even more so, but that's not been my experience.All, in all, I'd say that it's early days, but so far, I'm impressed.As things stand.I would recommend the Sturdy Sweep and at £20 it's much cheaper than electric options and without the added inconvenience of having to plug it in, or charge it!

I bought this as I have MS and sometimes struggle to use our Shark hoover due to the weight. The Bissell is incredibly light but really effective. Owning a Jack Russell who's life's ambition seems to be to shed on every surface in the house, this sweeper is a lifesaver as it's very effective in picking up dog hair from the carpet. I was really surprised just how much it picked up - hair, fluff, scraps of paper etc. Obviously it won't suck up dust from deep down in the carpet, but for a quick daily clean it leaves the carpet looking spotless, and even leaves sweep lines in the pile! The sweeper unit itself feels well put together and solid. The only downside is the quality of the handle - it's four metal poles which screw together, but within two weeks the threads had stripped just from using the sweeper. Easily solved with some teflon tape, but it really should be designed better. Apart from the handle, really pleased with the performance of the sweeper.

Wow! What a super little sweeper. Works well on rugs and carpet. Does work on laminate but not quite as affective. Bought for in our touring caravan, as lack of space for a vacuum, and am amazed at how much it picks up. Even dog hairs are easily swept away. I like the underside being metal as is more robust. Simple to empty into a bin. Took about 3 minutes to screw the handle parts together and was good to go. Considering one for home aswell for quick clear ups!

Small, cheap and good kit for the price; five minute simple assembly. Lifts bits effectively on carpets but much less well on uncarpeted floors. And on carpets, brisk use leaves noticeable sweep marks; so no substitute for a vacuum if you need a neat finish.

Got this for a friend who like me, finds vacumming hurts her back so since I've had same one, find it great, decided get same for her. It looks nice too, only fault in my opinion is emptying, but since it doesn't need to be all that often, I persevere & in any case, haven't found any that aren't....soon's I do I'll be be buying it. Really works well, lifts up most everything efficiently & cleany which is a boon with a dog who drops biscuit , treat crumbs all over the place, added to this a Hamster substrate falls from cage too, so wouldn't be without one, very easy to use. Super, thanks.

It would be 5* for ease of use, and ease to empty. But the handle screw in parts are too slack, and come apart easily. Even trying to fix using radiator flux, or using electrical tape to try and make a tight screw, hence hamdle. (3 parts) Doesn't last. A shame really because it would be a great product. One part faulty, i could let go. But every screw in part is faulty. And not through tough use. It's my disabled mother's, who has among other issues, arthritis in both wrists, so she hasn't been rough on it.
