Carpet Sweeper 50 Minute Lithium Floor Sweeper, Multi-Surface Use, Easy One Hand Cleaning, Self Standing, 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.

SEE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES!!! I like peanuts in the shell, I keep a bag in my bedroom. However when breaking open the shell, the crumbs fly all over. I used the huge Hoover Pet Hair vacuum last time, but this is just a small area, and believe me, pushing that Hoover around is like pushing a 1976 Buick Electra 225 up a hill! I was going to get one of those sweepers that turn the brush only if you keep it moving, but when I saw this was on a a reduced price, and with a small motor I was sold. So glad I went with this over the manual sweeper. The area I need to vacuum is very small, and is plush carpeting. This did a great job, and it was half dead when I used it, I ran it down to zero power. The carpet is clean enough now of all those messy shells, and it even picked up some dog hair as well ( for those that don't know the dog hair is really called Pomeranian Glitter!) I will be doing the finishing sweeping when it gets to a full charge, but from what I have seen of this Black and Decker mini sweeper, I am very happy and impressed. The edge brishes work good as well. If you are looking at one of those sweepers that depend on the wheels to drive the brush, DON'T! Just put a little more to it and get the battery powered unit, you will be glad you did! Will update if any thing changes. Oh, and it has a limited 2 year warranty. Thanks. Kem. 4/8/24 Update: May, 13. The sweeper on carpet tends to stop running when pushed forward, unless I am very slow and apply no downward pressure on the main brush. It nosedives into the carpet, and when that happens, the motor stops running. What I did to correct this was add a little bit of lift to the front suspension "bumps" on the bottom, that would give the brush enough lift. Only about an 1/8", but it seems to stop it from shutting down on forward thrusts. Hot glue gun helps with this problem. Update June 29. BEWARE OF DOG HAIR BINDING UP THE BRUSHES. Dog hair will get into the end of the brush bushings, and this will bind up the brushes to the point that the brushes will barely turn. It's about impossible to remove all the hair without taking the sweeper apart. But once cleaned up, it works like new again!!

this charges on 110v and there is no conversion transformer with it. Therefore not suitable for the UK marketwhich is not stated in the advert

Yo estaba feliz, funciono bien los primeros 20 dias y despues empezo a descargarse rapidamente no tenia la potencia para recoger nada, se atoraba y se apagaba. cada vez peor la tuve que devolver. Una lastima porque con una buena potencia tiene funcionalidades del mango excelentes. Recoge arena de gatos, pelo gatos y perro y ademas pasto que se mete en las patitas de perra y gatas desde el jardin. Es una casa pequeña con una carga la puedo pasar casi a toda la casa y queda para volverla a usar mas tarde. Facil de limpiar, para mi ha sido la salvacion y dejar de batallar con pelo enredado en las escobas. Alcanza todas partes , abajo muebles super facil de maniobrar, Limpia perfecto las orillas y alrededor patas de los muebles.

Very good product. Up to now. It is easy to move, no cable and enough effective. Recommondable.

Good and durable. Only concern is whether it will scratch my tiles flooring.

Since we vacum weekly, I purchased this sweeper for some light maintenance during the week to minimize accumulation of hair, dust and small debris. One week in and here are some observations: Cons - light debris such as crumbs or threads have a tendency to get pushed away from the rollers and you need to pass several times until it gets picked up, unless you pivot the unit to use the side rollers. There are no wheels beneath the unit, only small plastic bulges and I feel as though they may be abrasive on wood floors. Pros - have used it for 10-15 mins at a time and no dropoff in power. Very compact, light, not too noisy and empties easily. You can get into tight spots, ex: under beds and furniture, where even our central vacum might struggle to get to. In the end, since these units with brush rollers tend to accumulate tangled hair, the reason I chose this B&D over other brands was their inclusion of a cleaning tool to keep the rollers free of hair. The average rating of this sweeper at my time of purchase was 4 stars, and that's what I feel it deserves.
