Bissell not quite Perfect Sweeper

Not bad, however one drawback that I encountered, for this sweeper is the handle. It comes in 3 parts, which have to be pushed together, and sometimes there's a tendency of it to come loose, when you lift the sweeper off the floor.

Perfect vacuum substitute for me

I live in a single bedroom apartment with linoleum floors and floors with short carpeting and this is absolutely perfect. It's quiet, doesn't take up a lot of space, energy efficient, and works really well! Being able to go forward and backward is great, especially when you need to go over a spot more than once.

Also, I've not had any problems with the handle and it doesn't feel as if it's going to fall apart either. Like others have said, follow the instructions (banging against a hard surface floor when putting it together) and there will be no issues.

Generally good but some limitations

There are definitely some issues with this sweeper, the handles fall apart every time you pick it up, which is a pain. I plan to tape mine together with duct tape, because despite this challenge it's still a whole lot more convenient than dragging out my vaccuum cleaner each time there is dirt on my rug. And it does indeed do a good job of picking up the dirt once you have the handles secured.

What's with these Handle Problems?

OK...like most others considering an old time push pull sweeper I was looking for an quick simple sweeper for use between regular vacummings. I confess that I really needed an easy solution to clean up after our grandchildren after eating. Crumbs on the floor from things that weren't even supposed to have crumbs...I digress.

Bissel has been making these things for about forever so I decided to check out their latest offerings. After reading the reviews from other purchasers I came away with the feeling that this sweeper would work fine EXCEPT for the multitude of complaints about the handle coming apart quite easily. I almost didn't order the darn thing but after thinking about it for awhile I decided that there was never a handle made that I couldn't find a way to keep together so order the Perfect Sweep I did.

Now as far as MY experience with the handle issue so many people have spoken to...well...I have not had any issues at all. I followed accompanying assembly directions and then did everything in my power to get the handle to separate after hours of normal use and then forcefully by hand. Nothing. It held firmly! I dare say I hope I'll never have any reason to need to disassemble the handle because I believe it might require vise grips and a vise.
I'd like to offer a little advise to those that like everything about this sweeper except the handle issues they are experiencing. Next time it comes apart try reassembling it by taking the lower section and placing it on a hard concrete surface while tapping the joining upper section with a hammer. Not alot of force necessary, just a few moderate taps. Do that with each section junction and I think you'll find your problem is solved.

As for the rest of the sweeper, it performed as expected. No...it won't replace your vacumm but it's very effective for surface debris. Works far better on solid flooring than thick carpeting. It grabbed each and every tiny, grandchild produced, crumb under the kitchen table for certain!

If anybody reading this remembers the old Bissel sweepers of a few decades ago...you might be disappointed to find that the 2008 version doesn't appear to be made nearly as solidly as those of yesteryear which I guess you couldn't expect for a lousy $30 but that said it does come with a lifetime warranty. Which invites the question: Whose lifetime? But thats another discussion for later.

If you have reasonable expectations of what the design purpose is for the Bissel Perfect Sweep I think you'll be happy you took the leap of faith that I did. Don't worry too much about all the handle comments previously posted...I'm guessing many relied too much on their hand assembly method, contrary to following the actual assembly directions.

Handy little sweeper!

When I ordered dark green carpet for our master bedroom, I knew it would show every little speck of anything (and it does!). But not a problem with this hand little sweeper. I keep it in my closet and just pop it out for a 30 second tidy-up. It really does a remarkable job, and I can go right on in to the tiled vanity/bath area. Would hate to be without it for those in between vacuum pick-ups.
