Casabella Onda Broom and Dustpan by Karim Rashid, Black

I know it's expensive for a broom set, but it is perfect for me. I have a bad back, and the dust pan that is attached keeps me from bending too much when I sweep. The broom is really good and picks up everything. I wish it were gray as it wouldn't show the dust as much, but the black looks nice and the dustpan hides the dust that accumulates in the broom. The way the dustpan supports the broom, you can literally leave it anywhere in the house. Very nice broom, and worth the money to me!

I love this broom, sweeping is just sweeping but believe me the broom makes a difference. I love the way this broom snaps the bristles as you pick it up from the floor, the dust stays on the floor and not in the bristles. Don't like the black too much, dust clings to this broom and dust pan making it look filthy, would buy another color if buying again but thats just an annoyance and my OCD showing.

This broom is great. I was exceeding skeptical because of the price point but a friend recommended it so i decided to give it a try. We just got wood floors throughout the house so I needed something. This baby catches everything, the smallest bits of dust etc. The bristle part is very very flexible which is probably why it holds the dust, pet hair as well as it does. The handle is a great height and has a large hole for hanging which I recommend due to the softness/bendability of the bristles. I am very happy with it.

This product is great for small tasks like spilled dry cereal or cleaning up a studio or efficiency apartment. Definitely not a heavy duty broom to be used outside or for a larger home. Its more of a perfect companion to any vacuum. Especially if you don’t own a hand held and the job is too small to fire up the upright. (obviously to use on non carpeted floors)…With that being said heres a more detailed account. I admit it! I bought this purely for the esthetic. If there was a sleeker more compact design out there I would have probably bought that one. This item seems like a concept that went straight to production without any testing or research. My apartment is small and its ok for what i need it.My only real disappointment with this product is the type of surface or finish on the plastic. Even after grooming my dog on the regular she still sheds so I try and keep up with the odd hairs here and there. What I noticed the first time I used this product was not only how dusty my apartment gets but also that dust clings to the broom and dust pan. So, after sweeping they both need to be cleaned which is kind of annoying and probably a deal breaker for anyone planning to use this to sweep a dusty apartment like mines. Also, I tried using the cheap paper towels I keep under the sink to clean it up but it only moved the dust around so I had to use Bounty instead. This broom set has expensive taste I guess. Also, it took a really long time to be delivered. It wasn’t a problem for me since I placed the order way before moving into my new place.So in conclusion, this is not a broom set a house keeper would appreciate. Yes, you will be paying mainly for the design… and I guess the name of the designer which I must say this is not his best work. Not terrible but not amazing either.

It certainly is beautiful, and looks nice standing in a room. Other people seem to be saying they got used or damaged brooms, but mine was nice, new and clean. The broom is good for sweeping, and I'll probably keep using it for that. Problem is, the design of the dustpan is such that the air movement caused by sweeping particles into it is trapped by the high back of the dustpan and just ends up blowing particles back out.

I looked and looked online for a standing dustpan. I care less about the broom because there are a million brooms out there but very very few dustpans that you don't have to lean down to the floor to use. Do most people really lean down to the floor over and over when they sweep? I just don't get it. And I didn't want one of those flopsy ones that the restaurants use that you have to push it to the floor to have the duspan work. I want it just to stay open. So, after suffering through a few cheap standing brooms that were terrible quality, I bit the bullet and bought this one. I find that it's serviceable, but not perfect. First of all, the broom seems unnecessarily heavy. It's thicker than most broom handles, because it's trying to be ergonomic or whatever, but I often use the broom with one hand when I have the dustpan in the other hand, so adding extra heft to it is unnecessary. I can get over that though, I haul two toddlers around daily, and have buff enough arms. The other problem is that the standing dustpan isn't very high. It only comes about 3" above my knee (and I'm fairly tall), so I have to bend over to use this dustpan, even if I don't have to bend down all the way to the floor. If they had made it 6" or more higher, it would be much more useful without being all awkward trying to bend over a few inches. As another reviewer noted, the material of the dustpan is very staticky and that makes it annoying too. All in all, it's better than anything else I've had, and I paid more than it's worth, so I'll keep it, but I'll grumble about it a bit, and if ever the perfect broom and dustpan come along, I'll throw this one to the curb too. For now, it'll suffice. By the way, my husband independently noted that the dustpan handle is not high enough, but even so he protests his love for it. He flat out refused to use the crappy ones we had before.
