BLACK+DECKER50 Minute Lithium Floor Sweeper, Multi-Surface Use, Charger Included (HFS115J10)

I got this for one reason and one reason only......to easily pick up the kitty litter that my 3 cats scatter all over the garage floor. I've been using my Dyson, but thought that it was a terrible use of such a vacuum cleaner! Plus it's big and cumbersome and I had to deal with that cord! I've been using the sweeper for a few days and it does the job perfectly and easily!I use both featherweight litter and the regular clumping litter. This sweeper picks both up easily and very quickly. It's very light weight and I love how it works side ways as well as up and down. I also love how easily it empties into the garbage can.Having found success in the garage, I tried it on my household hard surface floors. It picks up the smallest crumbs and even things like light onion skins and small pieces of paper. It will pick up anything my cats track from outside. I now use this sweeper more than my vacuum.This sweeper is not a vacuum. It does not pick up dust or fur or dust bunnies. It will pick up particles on the surface of hard carpets. It is not meant to be used on soft area rugs. If you have a textured rug or floor mat, and something falls between the carpet texture, it will not pick it up because it has no suction. It's a sweeper.It takes around 12 hours or so to completely charge when you first get it. The instructions say that you can keep it on the charger at all times, and I do that. The longest I've used it for is about 10 minutes and it takes a few minutes to recharge that time. It should be hung up, not stored upright. The handle has a hole to put it on a hook. I have mine stored about 5 feet from the electrical outlet. I have used it numerous times a day because it's so very easy to use and does the job very well.I had a regular non-electric sweeper that I used in my classroom. It worked well, but needed several feet of space to get the wheels to turn enough to sweep up the debris. With this electric model, it picks up debris immediately and in very tight spaces. Plus this one can pick up debris going sideways, which the nonelectric models cannot do.I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs a sweeper for all the crumbs and stuff that gets on the floor. But remember, its not a vacuum cleaner.

I LOVE this product!! I run a doggie daycare and this thing works! Its not as efficient as a dyson vacuum so dont have unrealistic expectations BUT this thing works so well!! I use it on my entire space (2 bdrm 1st floor of a private house) and it has yet to die on me!! Not once!! I swear I used it longer than 50m and on tough messes! Wet & dry!!! I cant believe it, I use this almost daily for 6+ months now and it has yet to die on me & it never slows down. The brush that comes w it to clean the brushes works flawlessy and so well within seconds.I def reccomend this product!! I recently got a dyson bc I have a lot of daily messes btwn my business, my kids, my life in general lol so wanted something more handheld and could get couches and the cars but otherwise this thing is GREAT! My electric sweeper wont be going anywhere and I still plan to use it btwn uses w the dyson & in place of my broom/dustpan. Worth every penny definitely would buy again but no need bc the one I have still works like day 1! It may take a little long to charge but once your done cleaning throw it on there and I promise you'll never have an issue. Light weight and even cleans my welcome mats and goes from diff floor types like wood, tiles & linoleum with ease. Struggles getting deep corners but again the pros far outweigh any cons.

I have bought 3 of these sweepers in the last 9 months. Why - because they broke, but they are also very, very useful.I use it daily to spot sweep a 35,000 sq feet office building. It is extremely lightweight and with the side brushes make sweeping the corners and along walls very easy. The battery lasts a long time and makes it very convenient as opposed to the weight of a battery backpack vacuum, or having to find plugs and manage extension cords.Easily the best concept in a sweeper I have found to date and much more useful and cost effective than the much heavier backpack vacuums.The downside to all this is the fragility of them. They break down. The gearing system is not well constructed (all plastic): the bushings and gear spindles are not firmly attached and once they slip out of the casing it is very hard to reset them. I have repaired them (not easy), but once it happens the repairs do not last long (wear on the plastic gear teeth also contributes.)The upshot of this review is just beware - a great concept and priced product, but not at all designed for heavy use.Be very careful to not catch lose carpet threads or cords in it. The motor will stop if you do, but sometimes the gears get stripped before it does.Also - make sure after use, you clean the hair and strings off the rotor brushes (a great tool is provided with the sweeper to do this). They will get into the bushings and clog them up before too long.Again - I love the product and obviously continue to use it despite the flaws.

This little gadget is super fun to use and is amazingly useful as it does pick up a lot even off low pile carpets and my kids will get a kick out of using it as well. It definitely does the job in between vacuuming. Picks up a lot of dust and small particles as well as some larger particles. It’s also very easy to empty and find a place for the charger was easy as well. Definitely recommend.
