Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of #SWS-MC4 Cordless Swivel Sweeper

Customer Review: Important: Do not charge the battery for more than 24 hours
Summary: 5 Stars

I asked for my sweeper and received it as a wedding shower gift at the suggestion of my sister, busy mom of 3 kids under 5 (who swears by her sweeper).

I see a lot of complaints that the swivel sweeper does not hold a charge. I am not one to read directions, but I happened across someone who mentioned a line of the directions when I was reading reviews for the sweeper. Seeing as how so many people are still giving negative reviews, I thought it worth reposting.

You cannot charge the battery for more than 24 hours consecutively. Plug it in, and unplug it after a day. My sweeper has worked great for over 2 years with heavy use. I don't know why this makes a difference, but the people who follow these instructions have not had any issues and love their sweeper. Of course, you would never know this if you don't read all of the instructions.

The swivel sweeper is not a vacuum. It's an electric broom. It's not meant to take the place of a vacuum... it's good for cleaning up debris before you clean the floor (like a broom!). I've even used it to clean hair off the kitchen floor after at-home haircuts. One swipe and the mess is gone. It's awesome at sweeping up Christmas tree needles and crumbly messes. You still need to vacuum your rugs, but this helps with the quick messes in between. I hope this helps you feel more confident about the sweeper.

Customer Review: Faulty charger
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought this last week and the charger never worked. I'm glad I was able to get my money back so I can just buy a shark like I should have in the first place.

Customer Review: It's not the battery that is the problem.
Summary: 4 Stars

I love my swivel sweeper and I've read a LOT of reviews on this. People are under the impression that it's the battery that goes bad after a while. It does appear that way BUT, that's not really the problem. I bought a new battery and it didn't work any better than the old one. I then found the SS on clearance for $15 (with coupon discount) so I bought another. I tested both the old battery and the new in the new unit and there was no difference. The problem is that the cleaning unit itself builds up dirt. My husband took the whole assembly apart on the old unit cleaned and lubed it and now it is working almost like new with either the old or new batteries. Try it!

Customer Review: Works good at first
Summary: 2 Stars

After a few months of using the sweeper, it no longer works for more than 30 seconds because the battery no longer charges properly. I used this on mainly hardwood and on some rug. After a while it's very troublesome to clean because hair easily gets tangled in the vac which in turn breaks the vac down. It is also very flimsy and plastic and so if you push it hard it overturns and all that you vacuumed -dirt, crumbs, etc. flies out, and you're left with an even greater mess to clean up. Rip-off. Get a vac at much better deals on Amazon or at Target.
