Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of #SWS-MC4 Cordless Swivel Sweeper
Customer Review: swivel sweeper works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Swivel sweeper does the job. A very strong pick up for a battery operated device. The swiveling action allows you to get into even those hard to reach corners and it's very easy to clean. You just pop out the back and empty.Customer Review: Just okay...
Summary: 3 Stars
This product worked great at first. I thought it was going to be a lifesaver to help me quickly pick up dog hair off of our hardwood floors daily. It did...for the first few months. It doesn't work anymore and I'm going to *try* a replacement battery in the hopes that this solves the problem. It may just be the battery doesn't charge fully anymore.
What it is good for:
Pet hair
Light dirt
What it is bad for:
Dust bunnies (blows them away!)
Bird feathers (same thing)
Larger pieces of dirt such as a spilled houseplant
Throw rugs (get sucked up and unit stops)
Any area that happens to be dirty and damp at the same time.
Customer Review: Doesn't Last
Summary: 2 Stars
I saw this litte sweeper reviewed on TV. They said it did a great job, so I bought one. They were right! It did a great job - for a while. Now even though I charge the battery, it goes really slow and hardly picks up anything. I'm not sure why - it seems like the battery won't even charge or something.....Customer Review: To prevent over charging
Summary: 4 Stars
Overcharging will kill a most types of rechargables. A good charger like on a cell phone won't overcharge but a less expensive like this one can.
Use an mechanical light timer the type with a little plastic insert to set the on/off time. They are $4-10. Remove all the "on" tabs. Set the time to noon and put the "off" tab at midnight. Plug the charger into this. When you want a charge twist the dial around to noon and flip the little knob to turn it on. In 12 hours it will turn off and stay off till you reset it.
Customer Review: Not Sure What You People Are Doing
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a bit surprised too at some of these reviews. I know, as a TV product, it's commercial can be a bit deceptive. If you think this is going to replace a sweeper you use over your WHOLE house, forget it. If you're using it that way, yeah, you probably will burn out a charge faster than you can believe. That's not what this is for. The Swivel Sweeper is for LIGHT MESSES. We live in an apartment and use this every day for quick cleaning. For this, it's incredible. It picks up items quickly, rarely needs cleaning, and makes going over everything with a vacuum unnecessary except for big cleaning days. I've had no technical problems with it at all. I cleaned out the brushes for the first time in six months of use, and even then it was working fine before I did it. At times, yes, it did push around some of the dirt, but since it swivels, all I do is turn the handle and the header moves around in a circle, catching whatever problem I may have. Occasionally there may be a few heavier pieces here and there in a corner that I can't get with it, but it does its job just fine. I spot clean with it all over the place, perfect for when people drop by unexpectedly and there may be some crumbs lying about. I really don't have any problems with this item at all. If you're looking for a way to eliminate a dust pan, I think it's great. Looking to eliminate a vacuum, NO WAY. Prehaps I'm just lucky with it.
