Don't waste your money!

My husband bought this for me for Christmas and was excited to use it. I was only able to use if 5 or 6 times before the battery absolutely died! I made sure I didn't have it charged more than 8 hrs so it wouldn't kill the battery, but it still died! Also, I had to clean the brushes to get out all the long hair AND I had to empty the contents before vacuuming each room! This product stinks and I do not recommend it to anyone. Even the service reps are miserable about this product when you call in to complain! Don't waste your money.
it is for real

For once a product that does exactly what the infomercial says it will do. I actually bought mine at [] after seeing it on TV. I loved it so much I bought one for my mother and one for my daughter. You do have to empty it every time but it really works.
This is a must have!!!!!

I absolutely love my Swivel Sweeper. I don't know how I ever got along without it! It makes cleanup after meals so easy. As a matter of fact, it's so lightweight and easy to use that my kids sweep the floors with it after every meal (a 5 and 6 year old). Typically infomercial products never work, but this product lives up to it's claims. I love it so much I'm buying one for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day.
great!

I bought this at [], so I never needed to deal with customer service. I love it. It is terrific for cleaning up the ceramic tile in the kitchen after the baby throws cheerios all over the place! I use it every single day 2-3 times and I only need to recharge the battery every few weeks. This product will not replace a vaccuum cleaner and is not meant to be used on thick carpets, but for tile and hard wood it is awesome!
Poor customer service

I have not yet received my swivel sweeper, so I can't rate it, but I can certainly rate their customer service department...it sucks! I ordered my sweeper by phone on a Thursday (BIG MISTAKE, I should have ordered it on the internet). Of course, you get nothing but an automated system and no opportunity is allowed to speak with a human. It kept repeating my address back to me incorrectly, so I finally had to spell it out. By this time, I was thinking I had made a mistake, but they already had my credit card number, so there is no turning back. I received an email on Wednesday that my sweeper had shipped out. Today, Friday, I decided to look at the email to see what the estimated time of arrival would be. That's when I noticed that they had the wrong city and zip code (how the automated voice got a "7" from a "3" I'll never know, but I know when my address was repeated back to me on the phone, the zip code was correct.) Anyways, I immediately called customer service. A very rude woman took my call, interrupted me at least 4 times during the conversation, and informed me that I would have to wait 2 weeks and then call them back after the sweeper was returned to them once USPS could not locate the address. It was then insinuated that this my fault for not checking the address more closely when I received my email. I can not believe they would treat a customer this way! I wonder what happens to people who try to return the thing??!! So now there is a $50 charge on my bank card and another $20 due to be taken out in a few weeks. My guess is that if I don't like the thing, they will tell me I ordered it too long ago, even though I probably won't get it until a month after the order. I'm also wondering if I'll be charged for shipping again! My plan is to cancel the automatic payment that is to be made to them at the beginning of May and call them in 2 weeks to cancel the entire order since it appears that they do not really care about customer service. I do not understand why if I have a USPS tracking number they cannot just contact the postal service and reroute my package. What's the use of a tracking number? I also do not understand why they can't just send me out another one to the correct address, knowing that the one they sent is going to be sent back. Obviously, their only concern is for the money and forget the sucker consumer!
Best sweeper around

The fastest way to pick up dirt, grass, cereal, etc. from floors. Easy to use and picks up debri from corners and up against walls and cabinets. I have purchased 3 more as gifts - 1 of these for my 80 year old mother in a wheelchair. She is now able to move around her kitchen and do her own sweeping. She is so proud that she is able to do this task by herself. I have also purchased a 2nd one for myself as a reserve because I am fearful that they will discontinue this product and mine oringinal one is sure to finally break down just as any mechanical tool finally does after many years of use. Hair and thread does wrap around the brushes--but this can easily be cleaned with the enclosed seam ripper. Best gadget I have ever purchased. I have recommended this sweeper to everyone I know. It has saved my back.

I bought this product because a friend of mine had one. After I bought mine, 2 months later the battery leaked and corroded everything. I called the company and was told I had to buy a new battery and pole for it. This product is no good. It worked well for the 2 months but needs quality parts to be a good product.
Best product I own under $40.

I live in a 4 bed 2,1/2 bath house.Sweeping and mopping are honestly a living hell.I bought this in mid August at a store.Its case/package, was real nice and eyecatching.I had known about it for almost two years just never believed it.I followed its charging instructions and charged for over 8 hours.Worked fine the first time and still runs great.Only thing about it but really is nothing when you get used to it is cleaning underneath it and getting all the hairs or whatever gets trapped in swivels.Cleaning its gliders makes it glide easier.I really recommend it as long as you read the intructions, and clean and maintain it.Good Luck
HORRIBLE

Having a bad back I thought the idea of a cordless, light weight vacuum was wonderful.... when I called to order it of course they wanted to sell me extra sliders, batteries, etc., etc. Stupid me... I bought every bit of it, spending almost $100.00 I tried it as soon as it arrived and was at first pleased with it, but as someone else said, the very next day the battery died quickly and in just a few days did not work at all. I called to complain, and after 20 minutes of holding I hung up. Trying again in a few days the same thing happend. Finally on the 3rd try I got a person They said it was the pole and sent a new one. By the time it arrived I had tried the "FREE" one and had the same experience with it. So I tried the new pole on each vaccuum. None of it worked. By the time I found time to sit on the phone forever to discuss all of this with a person, they said it has been too long since you ordered the product to get a refund. They said they would send me a new part (the part with the rollers and motor). They did send it and when it arrived the cover was broken. I am exhausted with dealing with them, but would love to send the whole rotten mess back just so that they can see that NONE of it works. What crooks!!!

I bought 4 of them, three were broken (mechanical parts) after less than 1 month. Batteries (I have 4 of them) last 1 minute and then die. It could have been a good tool, but this so poor manufacturing, you will throw your money out the window if you buy it. I cannot believe some people rate it honnestly good except if they rated it during the first week of use.
Swivel Sweeper is great for college dorm rooms!
2/24/2008 - Sariah of Washington DC, USA writes:
It is an amazing product. I live on campus and as alot of people know, college dorm rooms are not that big. A big bulky vacuum would have NOT worked. I got the swivel sweeper as a gift. I hadn't used it until the 2nd week. My roommate spilled coffee grounds on the floor, it picked it up in an instant. The only problem is that the bristles got dirty because I tried it on my dirty shag carpet by my bed, there was a tool that came with it, that I cannot find, but I know it's in my room. Parents if you have a child in college, or who is moving into their first apartment or anything...GET THIS FOR THEM. If you're living area isn't big enough for a big bulky vacuum, get this.
Not worth it!

Ordered this this mop due to a back condition, light weight, etc. Guaranteed or money back, no cost to try it--Wrong! I moped 5' of floor twice, on the third occasion it produced no steam. Returned and told S&H would not be refunded despite infomercial claim. Product is not worth $20.
Good idea...
2/5/2008 - Erin of Auckland, New Zealand writes:
I bought one of these cheap from an importer, not expecting miracles as I know its just a sweeper not a vacuum. I intended to only use it for quick cleanups up in between vacuuming. At first I was thrilled with it, it works really well on tiles, and picking up cat fluff and all the crumbs, glitter, and everything else my 4 year old leaves all over the house. The first time I used it the battery just kept going and going, and to my surprise it actually kept going while I went over the entire house! I was giving it a good workout, as I always do with a new toy ;-) HOWEVER within a week or so the battery lost its mojo, and after a while it could barely even last long enough to get around one room. My only other gripe is nothing to do with the product, but a warning for others with longer hair. My hair is only medium long, and as this is a 'sweeper' not a vacuum, all the long hair that it picked up just got wrapped around the brushes and caused it to jam (which may have contributed to the battery wearing out so fast) so I was having to constantly open it up and clean it out about every 30 seconds... I may as well have just vacuumed, for all the time I spent untangling and cutting all my hair strands from the brushes! So, my recommendation is: Excellent for quick clean ups of pet hair and crumbs, but if you have a long haired person in the house give it a miss, it's easier to just get the vacuum cleaner out and suck it up! I gave mine to my mother in law, she has a short haircut :-)
Love it!!!

I love my swivel sweeper! Of course it will not replace your original vaccum cleaner, but it will able you to pick up everyday messes. I use it primarily to pick up what my cat kicks out of the litter box and I love it more and more every time. Very light weight and very versitile! It works way better on hard wood and tile flooring than on carpets, but still does a good job! I recommend it!!
Great on floors!
1/26/2008 - George of Tennessee, USA writes:
We bought two and love them! Our dog sheds hair all over our hardwood floors and these little guys sweep up stuff in all four directions. I wish the batteries lasted a little longer and the dust tray were bigger, but it's a trade-off for size and weight. [] Try a vacuum! This is, after all, a sweeper! For hard flooring, we think it's great and have no regrets. They're clever products and wonderful for quick pick-ups and spills. We got 2 [] for $49 shipped and highly recommend them... for FLOORS. And no, we don't work for the company LOL
Works great for me

I use the swivel sweeper mostly for tile and hardwood floors. I have 3 cats, and it picks up stray kitty litter par excellence. I use it for a quick pick up in between vacuuming with the Oreck. It does what it was designed to do in my opinion. I bought a second one and keep one on each level of my two story house.

After buying this product decided 7&half volts not man enough + the 6x1300ma AA batteries in series not holding charge,bought new 6x 2800ma AA batteries plus soldered an extra AAA smaller size bringing the voltage to about 9& half,they are in series, it now goes like a turbo charged machine, with the 1300ma batteries there is a voltage drop way below the 7& half volts required

When I first used used this product I was happy with it how it worked. No it's not as good as they show on TV,but for the price and ease of use I was happy with it. Problem is that after only A month the battery could not hold a charge.
Take It From A Skeptic - It's A Good Product
1/15/2008 - Todd of New Jersey, USA writes:
Being a born skeptic of anything that's hawked on television, I was reluctant to try the Swivel Sweeper. But my wife kept telling em we should buy it so I caved (actually, I waited until the product was sold in stores). As with most things, my wife made the right call. We've had our Swivel Sweeper for a year now and have had no problems at all. The battery works fine (just needs to be recharged from time to time), it picks up with no problems on both carpet and hardwood (we have both in our house), and my 6 year-old LOVES to sweep with it. The holding cup is a little small, but it's really easy to empty and put back -- it takes about 5 seconds. It cleans well along walls and is great for tight spaces. I highly recommend it.
VERY picky & love Swivel Sweeper
1/6/2008 - Casey of Illinois, USA writes:
This is one of the best products I have ever purchased! In fact, I have never before bothered to write a review for anything, but since purchasing this, three of my closest friends have bought them as well. Here are the pros: 1) Great for a quick pick-up when you're expecting last-minute guests or have had minor spills (crackers in the carpet, crumbs on the tile, etc) 2) Does a good job of cleaning along edges of cabinetry. My Shark can only get about 2 inches from the cabinets, but the swivel sweeper has brushes designed to sweep debris along the cabinet/wall into the unit itself. 3) Works great on tile, but not quite as well on hardwood. Does well on carpet also 4) Gets behind toilets!!! It's very light, so can be taken anywhere in the house CONS (some have mentioned): 1) The dirt collector is too small. I agree it's not huge, but it's easy to empty. If it gets full too quickly, you need to clean your floors more often! 2) Brushes get clogged. Really? Clean them out! If you have hairy pets (which I do not), this may not be the best option for you according to some other reviewers. I have cleaned out my brushes a few times, and it continues to work like a dream! 3) Battery dies. My battery works just fine, and as with any product, I imagine there are sometimes that a bad battery comes with the product. I have had no problem with it, and it will last for a solid 40 minutes or so before it needs charged. The only reason I know this is because I have a 2 and 3 year old who both love to vacuum with it. What A DREAM COME TRUE---a toy that cleans!!! Ovbiously, I love it! It's the best thing ever for picking up lifes little everyday messes. It's no miracle worker, but it sure makes my life a lot easier!
