Using the Swivel Sweeper G2
Using the Cordless Swivel Sweeper
Cleaning dirt and dust from carpets and floors can be an unpleasant task for many home owners. Vacuum cleaners are commonly used for this job but recently, a new product called Swivel Sweeper makes cleaning your home extremely quick and easy.The main benefit of using Swivel Sweeper G2 is that it is very easy to use because it is lightweight (weighing at just 2 lbs). It also uses rotating brushes on a 360 degree rotating head so that you're able to clean in hard to reach areas much more efficiently than compared to a vacuum cleaner.
It is cordless so there are no boundaries to where you clean and included in the package are rechargeable batteries so that there is no need to buy batteries every time you want to clean. Dust and dirt is stored in a convenient cleaning tray which is easily disposable and reusable.
Swivel Sweeper is suitable for all types of floors including carpet, tile and wood. It has many advantages over a vacuum cleaner because it is lightweight, compact and easy to store and quiet.
However, one disadvantage is that it uses batteries which mean they have to be constantly recharged before use. The rechargeable batteries are included and provide a charge which lasts for 45 minutes which is sufficient for most households.
Overall, Swivel Sweeper has had positive feedback from customers who rate it highly. It has also been featured on popular TV shows and recommended by many TV presenters as a great cleaning tool.
Most people were probably introduced to the Swivel Sweeper like me, through an infomercial on TV. The Swivel Sweeper is touted as a cordless, lightweight sweeper which works on all floor types. It features a quiet motor and four rotating brushes. The head of the sweeper rotates 360 degrees for easy maneuvering around furniture and other obstacles.
I broke down and bought one about three months ago. I paid $19.95 plus S&H. When my sweeper arrived, I was anxious to give it a test run. First thing I noticed is that it is definitely light - only two pounds! I tried it out on my hardwood floors and it worked great - it actually has sliders on the bottom instead of wheels, so it really does float over hardwood and laminate surfaces.
My floors like most, have crumbs, some pet hair and dust bunnies. The Swivel Sweeper took care of all of these. It is great for hard to vacuum places like under tables and chairs. I no longer have to waste 10 minutes moving chairs to sweep for 2 minutes.
One thing that is a bit of a chore is cleaning the sweeper. Emptying the collection tray is easy enough, just slide over 2 tabs but then you must clean the four cleaning heads. These things get coated in hair/fur/dust bunnies. The Swivel Sweeper does come with a special cleaning tool made specifically for this job. The tool works ok but doing it by hand seems to be faster but pretty gross.
One complaint I had heard many times was about the battery on the sweeper, which I found to run for about 30-35 minutes out of the box instead of the 45 minutes advertised on TV. Many people seem to be overcharging their batteries and thus effectively killing it after a couple months. I have been careful to take my sweeper off the charger after allowing it to charge for the recommended charging time. I also try to drain the battery fully before recharging.
All in all, the sweeper has certainly been worth $20 and I would be willing to buy another one even if the battery does go out on it. For quick tasks in the kitchen and living room, it is just so much easier to grab the Swivel Sweeper rather than dragging out my vacuum.
