Cordless Swivel Sweeper – Original As Seen on TV by Swivel Sweeper

This is my 4th purchase of a Swivel Sweeper Max.Things I like about it:Very versatile and lightweight.Sweeps up kitty litter easilyGreat on luxury vinyl floorsGoes under the bed and in tight spaces quicklyThe price is reasonableWorks well on rugs, if the nap isn’t too high.It saves me a lot of time for a quick cleanup of my floors.The battery lasts several cleanings before I need to recharge it.It’s easy to store.What don’t like about it:It’s important to clean it when the brushes get dirty. Note: I’m so used to it that it no longer is a chore.

The Ontel Swivel Sweeper is a first-rate product. It does a very nice job on both bare and carpeted floors. It's relatively quiet and I can operate it late at night when others are sleeping. It's lightweight and easy to operate - including emptying the dirt tray. I was sold on this item when I saw a three-year-old - my nephew Nicholas - do it. I also like the fact that you'd don't have to keep the whole thing attached to a wall plug to recharge. The battery pack detaches and that is the only thing that gets plugged in. You can store the sweeper where ever you please.One problem - if you have a long-haired dog that sheds (as I do) you will spend some time pulling those hairs out of the sweeper brushes. If you don't, the sweeper won't work. Threads and string also get wound up in the brushes. The Swivel Sweeper comes with a special brush-cleaning tool to assist with hair and string removal.Assembly takes just a few minutes. I love it. The only thing I don't like about it is that this sweeper is made in China. I prefer to buy American-made products.Shopping on line, you'll find the Ontel Swivel Sweeper priced anywhere from $34 to $50. The best price I found was at Amazon.com.

I have found the swivel sweeper to be an absolutely indispensible tool. I don't use a standard vacuum or broom and dust pan any longer. The Swivel Sweeper does everything that I need: cleaning hardwood and tile floors (it doesn't work on carpets unless there is no nap). There is nothing like it for cleaning up cat litter that gets out of the cat box. I used to use a mini vac for this purpose, but Swivel Sweeper cleans effortlessly.The 360-degree rotating head gets virtually anywhere. The handle can be 90 degrees vertical to 0 degrees horizontal (e.g., for getting under beds effortlessly). The sweeper gets right up to walls and even in corners. It gets behind toilets and all the other places that a regular vacuum would be too big for. The Swivel Sweeper is light and effortless.Putting the Swivel Sweeper together out of the box is simplicity itself. Snap a few parts into place and voila! It takes about 60 seconds. The rechargeable battery lasts almost an hour and recharges fully in about 8 hours with the supplied charger (not rechargeable batteries to buy). You don't have to worry about finding outlets to plug into and dragging that inconvenient vacuum AC cord everywhere you go.The Swivel Sweeper comes with a little tool that you can use to pick threads and such like out of the brushes if you need to. In normal use, if you avoid carpets, you shouldn't even have to do this. I would not recommend avoiding using the Swivel Sweeper on wet debris (like wet cat litter). This can get on the brushes and cake things up. As long as you keep to dry clean-up, you shouldn't have any problem at all.I can't recommend this product highly enough. There is just nothing like it for easily and quickly cleaning up on any surface except carpets. It easily cleans in places that no vacuum would ever get to.UPDATE. I have found that the manufacturing of these swivel sweepers is unreliable. I had one Swivel Sweeper, which worked fine for a couple of years. Then the motor started cutting in and out. I ordered another, and it suffered the same problem after two months. Unfortunately, AsSeenOnTVGuys does not replace defective products after 15 days, so if you get a defective one, you will not be able to get a free replacement.UPDATE. I have purchased three of these swivel sweepers now. The rechargeable battery seems to be a weak point. I have had them lose power anywhere from a month to a year, after which the recharge works only for a couple of minutes.

This isn't the most powerful sweeper that you can spend your money on, but it does work, and it won't break the bank. Catch tray is small, but you just empty it more often. Cleans up the small debris without getting out the big floor vacuum that requires much more maintenance.

Cordless Swivel Sweeper ' Original As Seen on TV by Swivel Sweeper I read that someone would give it zero stars. I'm so sorry they've had problems. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I agree with the person who said you have to have realistic expectations. It's not a vacuum cleaner. But for this disabled individual who cannot schlep or manage anything greater than two pounds, this is PERFECT! And it works really well. In fact, it just picked up kitty litter on a battery that was almost dead!Here's my tale:About two and a half years ago, I had hideous 35-year-old wall-to-wall shag carpeting torn out, exposing GORGEOUS hardwood floors, which I had sanded and polyurethaned. I immediately purchased a Swivel Sweeper and a microfiber mop. (See Simplee Cleen Microfiber Household Swivel Mop Kit with Two Microfiber Pads) I Swivel Sweep and Swivel Mop about once a week. After I Swivel Sweep, I spritz water mixed with a bit of white vinegar on my floors and mop. I believe the correct proportion is 1/2 cup of vinegar to a gallon of water. But I don't measure. Anyway, my floors are still incredibly beautiful after two and a half years.And the ONLY reason I recently replaced my Swivel Sweeper is because I accidentally threw out the dust tray. But for $29.59, I got another Swivel Sweeper and I now have spare parts ... including a spare battery.Otherwise, I believe my original model would still be going strong after over 100 uses!I see they have a new model. Maybe I'll get that in another two years. But for now, I'm very happy with my product and my floors, which is a good thing. Having floors sanded and polyurethaned is well worth the very messy effort. But I don't want to do it again in my lifetime!Carol
