Product Description
Sweep up the kitchen floor in record time without repetitive bending with this lightweight broom vacuum from Dirt Devil. The 9.6-volt broom vacuum sucks up dirt and debris from hardwood and other bare floors with ample power, eliminating any need for a dustpan or the accompanying bending over.

The cordless broom vacuum sucks up dirt through a 10-inch wide nozzle. Debris travels through a replaceable filter to collect in a dirt cup. The dirt cup removes from the broom vacuum with ease and is see-through for external fullness monitoring. A foot switch engages the broom vacuum's motor. To operate the broom vacuum, employ a standard sweeping movement. The broom vacuum is designed to tackle dry spills rather than puddles and soggy messes. Cordless in design, the vacuum eliminates tangled cords while providing endless range of movement. To recharge the unit, plug the unit into its adapter. For the best results and safety, read all enclosed material prior to use. Imported from Royal Appliance Mfg Co. in the United Kingdom, the broom vacuum necessitates some simple, tool-free assembly. Vacuum parts and the motor are both covered by one-year limited warranties. Upon shipping, the vacuum measures 21 by 13 by 4 inches and weighs approximately 5 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

Good broom. Poor battery life.
 
Review Date: March 2, 2010
Reviewer: P. Jackson,
We purchased the broom in early '08. It worked fairly well for our wood and tile floors. About what we expected. However, after about 18 months the battery went. There is no way to replace it yourself. The factory gave me the number of a repair shop. They said forget replacing the battery, it's less money to buy a new one. There you go. If you think the price is worth maybe up to two years of use, buy it. We did not think it was worth replacing ours. The old broom and dust pan are pretty inexpensive.
Good for Price and every day use

Reviewer: C. Beard,
This is a great product for every day use. Don't have to get out a dust pan. It just sucks it up right into the broom and has quite a bit of storage space so you don't have to empty it every time. Holds its charge well. The cons is it is still a broom, so tight to get get into those hard to reach places. It is also a little heavier than a broom. Most of the time you have to get right on top of the item for it to suction it up. And to clean the bristles, you have to use your hand... Other than that, good product. If I were to replace this, I would try to find something that has a moveable base so I can get right up against baseboards and in those hard to reach places.
Terrible batteries.

After 6 months of use the batteries go kaput. This has been true for two different units. Not of much use with that short of life.
Works for me

This does pretty much what you expect it to. It's very easy to use, and helps me get to places I can't normally reach. Far more convenient than a standard broom, and doesn't scratch my floors like a regular vacuum. Not very powerful, but I didn't really expect it to be.
Just pushes the dirt around.

Reviewer: Shrunken Violet,
This broom was mediocre from the word go. It's awkward as a broom but the vaccuum power was so weak that sweeping was pretty much its only use. Basically, you could push the dirt around (though not as easily as with a simple $7 corn broom) and it would suck up a few crumbs and that's kind of it. It wasn't broken, it just didn't work very well. There are no pets or young children in the household so it wasn't on heavy duty either. It was only used for cleaning the edges of the living room and a tile entryway and it didn't do that particularly well. Sadly, we didn't think to return it in time and about two months in the suction got even worse but we were stuck with it. The idea is good but it just did not work for us.

Save your money and skip this one. (We ultimately bought a corn broom and an 18-V B&D handvac to take over edge and entryway cleaning. Neither is as convenient as this product should have been, but both work well for their purposes.)
