This broom is great for my quick sweep/vacuum needs. Its light and easy to use. Took me a bit to get used to having to push down on the handle to get it to work, but thats what triggers the brushes to rotate rather than a push forward or sweeping motion you have with a regular broom/vacuum. I like the convenience better than a broom and dustpan, no bending over. its also easy to empty the waste container. The product seems pretty sturdy, but I also do not plan on using it to sweep my entire floor all the time. Just for those quick in between thorough cleaning times.
