I love this product. It was so easy to put together. I used it on my carpet and also my kitchen floor. It did an amazing job. I am very impressed.

good

This item arrived on time and in perfect condition. It does not require batteries or power of any kind. It's bristles rotate directly from you pushing the sweeper.This sweeper was practically ready to use right out of the box and it has been one of my most used and favorite purchases so far this year. It's lightweight, stores easily, is easy to clean and does a good job of sweeping up the floors. It is durable and does not easily chip, dent or get clogged. On the bottom of the sweeper there are 2 containers that hold the dirt the sweeper collects. All you have to do is hold the sweeper vertically above a trash can and push each bin to release the dirt into the trash can. There are no filters.The handle can lay as far down as the floor so that it doesn't get in the way of the sweeper going far under items like the couch or bed. On hard surface floors I would estimate it picks ups roughly 90% of dirt and bits that I can see and it does an even better job on carpets and rugs. Another nice thing about this sweeper is that it collects dirt while you are pushing it forward AND while pulling it backward.While it's not a substitute for vacuuming your carpets, it's really great when you need to easily and quickly make the floors look clean ("Oh, you're going to be over in 5 minutes?" guest type of situations), touch ups in between vacuuming and it let's you get away with vacuuming a little less often. My toddler makes a daily contribution of crumbs to our living room floor and this sweeper makes my job a little easier with not having to bust out the vacuum every single day.Pros: -Durable -Easy to empty dirt containers -Collects/sweeps dirt while pushing forward or pulling backwards -Picks up very small, small, medium and somewhat large objects -Easy to clean bristles -Lightweight -Can sweep a few feet under furniture because handle can be lowered as far down as parallel to the floor -Compact and easy to storeCons: -Occasionally on hard surface floors, rotating bristles will "kick" larger pieces of debris away instead of pushing it inside of sweeper.Overall I love this product, would buy it again and have recommended it to a lot of my family and friends, especially those with little ones. It's so lightweight, easy to use and it really helps keep your hard floors and carpets in shape in between vacuumings.

this item is perfect for the job that i wanted it to do and it is not heavy to carry from room to room

The term "cordless" strikes me as a bit misleading, since the only power that runs this sweeper is muscle power - there is nothing to plug in or charge. That said, this is an excellent little sweeper. I got it mostly to clean the low pile throw rugs and runners I have placed to keep my old dog from slipping on our hardwood and tile floors - I don't even own a real vacuum anymore since we don't have any carpet, and didn't want to buy one just for these rugs. The sweeper works great on the rugs, what I didn't expect was that it works great on my hardwood and tile floors too - about as well as a broom and dustpan. The dirt reservoir on the sweeper isn't huge (it's just the size of the sweeper head) so if I'm doing the whole floor, and it's dirty then I'm better off using the broom and dustpan, because if I use the sweeper I'll have to keep emptying it. But for in-between cleaning, and small dry spills it is EXCELLENT. It will pick up short dog and cat hairs off the floor as well as a broom. Picks up bigger things too, like crumbs and leaves. And it folds flat to slide under low furniture much better than a broom. This makes it easy to store too.Emptying the reservoir is easy, it has 2 lids on the underside that just flip up. There is one large central brush, and smaller ones on each end - these can get hairs or fibers wrapped around them which need to be pulled loose. The good news is, that since there is no motor you don't have to worry about a motor burning out because a brush gets bound up with hair.
