Read The Assembly Instructions and You Wont Have a Problem
Having used one of these years ago, I figured that, for the money, this was worth a try. With a newly crawling baby, two cats, a dog, and two adolescent girls, this would seem a good way to keep the floor and rug where my daughter crawls around clean. Since it is human powered and light-weight, it is ideal for quick cleanups without the hassle of cords, noise, or dust.

They went together really snugly. I can't pull them apart now if I wanted to, and they are easily hefty-enough to handle the initial abuse. Then you just screw the handle onto the cleaning head, being careful to secure it tightly, and it's ready to go.
I have three kids - 8, 6, and 1. There are food particles on my floor all the time. I bought the sweeper to take over for my broom which...
Great Product
I bought this product today and I'm thoroughly satisfied with it. It picks up just about everything. A few quick sweeps in both directions in any area will give you a nice clean floor.
