Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bissell 2201-2 Swift Sweep Sweeper
Customer Review: Useless. I'd actually rate less than zero
Summary: 1 Stars
Ads for this sweeper are very misleading. I've used it 3 times and each time it has only picked up some dog hair and nothing else. It will never pick up: Tiny pieces of thread, paper, leaves, dirt, etc and these were all very tiny pieces. You can roll the thing back and forth over these items 20 times and all it does is move them an inch or two, never pick up. The amount of time it takes to use the tiny comb they provide to clean the roller brush takes longer than getting out the vacuum to do the job over. The handle comes in several pieces and even when assembled as instructed the handle will not stay together. It constantly falls apart and has to be put back together. You can get around this at least by using duct tape. Unless you have a very low pile carpet or berber, and the ONLY thing you ever have to pick up is pet hair, this Bissell product is a total waste of moneyCustomer Review: It's ok for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
This little guy works best on smooth floors, e.g. picks up cat litter in bathroom just fine. Not so hot on carpets. However, when I go to empty the trays, I am amazed at what it DID pick up. So, better than nothing between vacuum sessions.
The trick handle ought to get an award for stupid design. Don't they test this stuff? I put the double tape on as one reviewer suggested. That wokrs.

What's to say? This is a cheap carpet sweeper, and it works great! The main sweeper unit is well constructed of metal and it's very sturdy indeed. However, the handle is a 4-piece tubular thingee that is marginal at best. The handle is in 4 sections so it can be shipped in a smaller box. The sweeper works perfectly on my office carpet, and I stow it away in a small file cabinet. I recommend this sweeper for occasional use, but I would suggest fabricating a solid piece of tubing for a better handle if you intend to use this for more frequent sweeping. Otherwise, the 4-piece handle will keep falling apart in your hands. Customer Review: Bissell sweeper...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good little sweeper. I got it to sweep-up cat litter on low pile carpet between my vacuumings; and that it does. I esp. like the comb (included) that comes in handy when you're cleaning the bristles, it then attaches to the sweeper's pole so you don't loose it--nice feature, it's made of all metal construction so it won't crack like the plastic ones do. In this item, quality actually superceeds the price.
Sincerely,

Customer Review: If it weren't for the handle...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this at Lowes Home Improvement for 9.97 - it's their regular price. The handle pieces do come out but don't despair! I had some carpet tape (double-sided) lying around and wrapped only a small piece around each end before I put it back together. It works like a charm. For how long, I don't know, but for the price I paid and how well it works otherwise, it will be worth investing in another role of tape in about a hundred years or so.
I can't drag the vacuum out all the time, don't want to and besides the dogs go nuts. This works as well as the carpet sweeper I remember pushing around as a little girl so I gave it an extra star for nostalgia. Gets all crumbs (don't expect it to get ground in dog hair) and gets all lint & small things you'd normally drag out the Hoover for. And No electricty needed!! If you miss the sound however, you can always hum!
