Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of As Seen On Tv 217412 One Sweep Broom
Customer Review: AWFUL..Steer clear
Summary: 1 Stars
What a piece of junk. Got it for Christmas and tried it today, it's already in the garbage. When you sweep it is difficult to get the sweepings into the dust pan and when you try to use it wet it just leaves a big puddle that you then have to clean up using a regular mop or paper towels, did not find it good for pet hair on carpets either. It's cheap because it's cheap. The handle kept coming off too. Feel sorry for my Mom who actually paid $$ for this.Customer Review: a wonder broom if ever there was one
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first used it, I was disappointed. But I was the one who wasn't using it correctly. I had just had my ceramic tile floors cleaned by a professional, so I decided that if the broom was good it might even get up some dirt. I sprayed 409 on the floor, used the broom "bristles" to scrub the floor and then squeegeed it off. Wow...dirt galore. Then after I had finished vacuuming my rugs for pet hair, I gave them a try, again with the "bristle" side first, and got lots of hair up. I wouldn't live without my wonderful broom. I am going to get one for each of my really true friends because I know that they will really love it.Customer Review: Does many things well
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know about pet hair specifically, but I know that the one sweep works extremely well for gathering junk off carpet, esPecially pilling. Our apartment's carpet pills horribly (you know, those little fuzz balls), but after using the one sweep to "sweep" the carpet (which is weird to do), it has not pilled at all and it has been several months (where it used to pill every 3 weeks-ish).
The one sweep is also a great mop (the only contraption with a stick handle that rivals hand scrubbing), although it is not absorbant and you do have to use the squeegy side to sweep it into a puddle and soak that up with a sponge or paper towel. I prefer this to an absorbant mop because those get cruddy and they take a while to dry sitting in the sink, and they eventually smell bad and get hard because you can never get all the soap and stain out of them but you spend like 10 minutes trying. Plus, they take up so much damn space.
I recommend the one sweep highly for kitchen and bathroom floors, and pilling carpet. And though I haven't tried it yet, it seems like it would work very well for washing the car (especially the roof and windows) because it lathers quite well and scrubs gently (it's a lot like a toothbrush on teeth). I really like my one sweep.
Customer Review: Bum Sweep
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the broom because the demo video really was extraordinary. But buyer beware.
1. It does NOT work well on carpet. I have mucho dog/cat hair to clean up, but it wouldn't pick up any. This is the main reason I purchased the broom.
2. The ability to use for wet cleaning floors is not especially effective. For one, since it does not absorb, all you do is scoot water around.
3. It gets a couple stars because it does do ok on grout/tile.
I unfortunately bought it from the dealer direct, paying quite high shipping as well.
