Are Swivel Sweepers worth it?

Question

I need a new vacuum. I seen the infomercial for Swivel Sweepers. Do they really work? I go through a sweeper every two years. I only live in a 1 bedroom apt, but I have two cats. I need something that picks up hair and litter very well. I know Dyson is great, but I can't afford $500 for a vacuum, more like $150

Thanks, tary...my apartment is 90% carpeting. Do you think it will work as well? Do you have pets?

Thanks Christine. I never thought of a shopvac.

Brakedown, last year, I bought a Bissel vacuum at Wal-Mart for about $45. It worked fine until recently. It doesn't pick up the pet hair unless I use the attachments. Two years before that, I paid $150 for a Eureka bagless and I didn't think that lasted that long for how much I paid and I had to purchase costly filters.

Answer 1

The swivel sweeper isn't really made for the kind of traffic and animal can bring into the home. It would most likely be better to consider a regular vacuum. If you need something to use on stairs, furniture and the floor you might think about getting a canister style. Even the shop vacuums make for good equipment in the home and are easy to clean. Most of them have more power than regular vacuums - helps with animal hair - and don't require replacement bags. They only run around $50 - 75 new.

Answer 2

those things are the BEST. I have 90% linoleum in a 1700 sq. foot house. It picks up all dust and dirt. I would definately recommend one.

Answer 3

a cheap vac should do. and it helps clean the air. 60$ at a wall mart.
