Keep looking for a sweeper I had an old sweeper from as seen on tv which did a fantastic job but was really difficult to empty. The replacement battery cost about as much as the sweeper so I went looking for something better. I really really wanted to love or like this sweeper but it just doesn't pick up much. I'm asking it to just pick up dust and minor cat hair only on an exercise matit takes several sweeps over the same area for it to do that. It is major easy to empty thoughI love that and it keeps a battery charge for days even when it's not plugged in. It's also quiet. If you want something that will pick up minor dustdon't purchase this unit.
Reliability zero The Dirt Devil Sonic Sweep cordless electric carpet sweeper is not a vacuum cleaner. It uses a rapidly rotating brush and sonic sweep vibrations to loosen dirt in carpet. The sonic sweep feature can be turned off when the sweeper is being used on bare floors. It is very light and easy to maneuver. It weighs just a few pounds and it's not more than about a foot wide. It looks like a nicely designed play vacuum cleaner for children except that it has a full length handle. It is a simple machine with no filters to replace or clean. The dirt tray is very easy to empty. The huge surprise was how well this thing worked when it worked at all. I bought one and used it a few times durng the next week or two. It didn't do as good a job as my upright vacuum but it came remarkably close with about a tenth the effort. But then it died. A part came loose and fell off. I returned the sweeper and got another. That one didn't last ten minutes! It is a shame because this would be a very useful convenient sweeper if it were reliable. As it is I have to give up on it and advise people to avoid it.
