Fuller Brush 17027 Electrostatic Carpet & Floor Sweeper - 9" Cleaning Path - Lightweight - Ideal for Crumby Messes - Works On Carpets & Hard Floor Surfaces - Black

I moved into an apartment with wall to wall low pile carpet. This thing is a lifesaver. Cleans well, and it's easy to clean itself. It's a little on the pricey side, but it comes with a premium quality you expect for the price. It's a solid unit. Adjustable height with segments. Cleans for weeks before it needs to be emptied, so the capacity is perfect for just grabbing it as you walk by, setting it down and going about your day. Side note, I have 2

This is the PERFECT solution for the little crumbs our dog leaves on the rugs when she eats her treats. It was a pain to pull out the vacuum each time and the rugs we have are a little much for the handheld at times, so this sweeper is PERFECT. Picks everything up (to include the fur she sheds EVERYWHERE) and it's so easy to empty!! Just very happy with this solution! Bonus? It's PURPLE!!

The Fuller Brush 17042 Electrostatic is a mighty clean up tool. I did my homework and read many other reviews. I’m pleased to say this roller Brush does its job. My cordless vacuum cleaner was not picking up hair or much else after several years. And this sweeper not only picks up hair, but dust bunnies, sand, grit all the stuff found on floors and carpets. It is environmentally friendly. Old school! I agree with others who lament that this is a tad small cleaning device. I do wish the base was just a an inch or two wider. On the other hand I have a tiny condo and it does a really good job. My second minor complaint is that cleaning it out is not that much fun. It’s a little awkward trying to clean the underside after dumping out all the debris from carpet into garbage. There is a nifty little comb tool (solid metal) that you can manually remove hair from the brush. I do this every time after a good cleaning. I highly recommend this sweeper for its sturdiness, and ability to store a lot of dirt. This is a keeper, great value for money well spent.

I initially gave this four stars. After 24 hours I knocked it down to three because some of the dog hair that attaches to the bottom (not inside) falls back off on the carpet. But it's miniscule. And after a week, I'm ready to give it ten stars. I have two welsh corgis that shed like crazy. I am also a meticulous housekeeper. Those two facts were constantly on a collision course in my home as I would get out the vacuum cleaner every single morning to do the bedroom carpet and every single day after work to run over the area rug in the family room where the dogs are during the day. I remember my grandparents having a carpet sweeper when I was young, and it would get up the crumbs from the kitchen/dining room floor after every meal. If I didn't want to hassle with the vacuum cleaner, I got down on my hands and knees with a damp cloth for a quick dog-hair pick-up. Now in my 60's, I decided I was getting too old to do that very often. So I thought a carpet sweeper would be the perfect solution. And it is. This little gadget gets up all the hair, slides under furniture easily and is wonderful for doing steps. However, when I opened the box, I was SHOCKED to see how small it is. I tend to ignore numbers (don't like them) so I had failed to notice that it is NINE INCHES wide. If you don't have a picture in your mind of how small that is, get out a ruler so you don't pass out when you open the box, as I nearly did. My first impression when I saw the size was "rip off!!" but even the size of this has grown on me. It's lightweight and, as mentioned, does a great job on steps and getting under furniture. I can also put it up ON the bed in the morning and get the dog hair out of the sheets and off the comforter, rather than using a damp rag. (Lint rollers are the biggest money sucking rip off ever invented.) It just requires a little more back and forth on larger rugs or floors. No biggie. Still better than getting out the vacuum or killing my knees. I'm ready to get a second one so I don't have to take it up and down the stairs, although it's so small and lightweight, it's not a big deal. Bottom line: it gets up an AMAZING amount of dog hair, crumbs, pretty much everything. And SOO SOOO easy to use.

This sweeper is fantastic. Instead of using my regular sweeper for small jobs I use this one. So much easier and workers as well as my other sweeper. I also use it to clean under my bed.

Growing up I remember the carpet sweeper we had in our house. It was heavy, made of metal, had several height settings, and was a workhorse of a device. This Fuller brush carpet sweeper is so not that. It’s like 9” wide, not very sturdy, and feels small, weak, and fragile. It does sweep the carpet fairly well, but is nothing like the one of my childhood (which was likely not a fuller brush brand sweeper). It works ok on larger floor debris, but it leaves behind the smaller dirt “particles” that could still be felt on the area rug when walking with bare feet. Also the $70+ dollars we spent on this seems a bit pricey for what you get. Would I recommend? No. You might want to try a cheaper brand first to see how they work for you. You could buy at least 2-3 other cheap brands to compare for the price of the Fuller Brush sweeper. Does it work? Kind of. Good enough for what we need, but I’m betting a cheaper brand would work just as well. Would I buy it again? No.

I love this on my new LVP floors and my new flat, thin rug (I also love) and doubt I will ever use my vacuum again. I have psoriasis so I lose a lot of skin, I recommend this highly, it picks up all my tiny flakes, and even worked on kitty litter. It's a lot smaller than I thought but in this case size doesn't matter! :)

I have a multi-cat household, including two long-haired cats, and I needed something that would pick up cat hair and cat litter on all of my floor surfaces so that I didn't need to bring out my vacuum cleaner daily. I have a vacuum that uses disposable bags rather than being bagless and I didn't want to be filling up a bag with cat hair and having to change the bag frequently or get cat litter dust throughout my high-end vacuum cleaner. The reviews for the different brands of carpet sweepers and the different models of Fuller Brush sweepers were confusing but I bought the Fuller Brush 17052 Electrostatic Carpet Sweeper based on my experience with Fuller Brush products and hoped it would meet my needs. I have a Prime membership and the sweeper was delivered today (Sunday) two days after I ordered it. NOTE: Although the picture of the item on amazon.com is pink, mine is a bright red. Putting sweeper together: It is important to make sure you are starting to thread the ends of sections and the bottom section of the handle to the sweeper correctly (i.e. start out straight/even; not crooked) so that they completely close together. It was easier for me to screw one section of the handle at a time starting at the bottom section being screwed into the base and then adding another section until the entire handle is screwed together rather than trying to screw the long handle already assembled onto the sweeper body. The plastic comb or rake just clips onto the bottom of the handle and wire bracket of the sweeper which is very handy to keep from misplacing it since you will need it to brush or rake the roller brush to remove cat hair that gets caught in the bristles of the roller. This model only comes with a natural bristle roller brush therefore I was not able to test the second type of roller brush that some Fuller Brush models come with. I tested the sweeper on all my floor surfaces that were covered with cat litter and cat hair: high pile wall-to-wall carpet, medium-pile area rug and porcelain tile. The sweeper picked up cat litter and cat hair off high pile carpeting, area rugs and hard tile floors. The reviewers who complained that you had to go over the same area several times to remove all of the cat hair and litter were correct, but I don't see that as a genuine problem---if I was sweeping my tile floors with a broom, I would have to go over the same path several times and my vacuum cleaner usually has to go over the same path to pick up cat hair or cat litter from high pile carpeting and med. pile throw rugs. The sections of the handle are screwed together and I did notice that I must inadvertently turn the handle as I am using the sweeper since I need to tighten two sections if they are no longer tightly screwed together---this may cease to be a problem once I am used to the sweeper. It is very light and easy to use on all of the floor surfaces going forward or back and the main path that the head covers is 7" with the bristles on the four corners bringing the length of the sweeper head to 8 1/2". The other reviewers are correct----it doesn't do away with the need for a vacuum cleaner but is an adjunct to your vacuum--very important if you are like me and have cat hair and litter on your floors daily. To empty sweeper: Over a waste paper basket or trash container, turn the sweeper upside down and press "PUSH" to empty each dust container. I filled one dust container twice; emptied it twice and the other dust container remained empty. Use the rake or comb to get the cat hair out of the bristles of the roller and I found that if you use the comb to bring the cat hair up you can then pull it off the roller with your fingers. You will be amazed at the amount of cat hair that will be on the roller and in the dust container and the amount of litter and litter dust that the sweeper has gotten off your floors. The bottom of the sweeper was very dusty from the cat litter and needed to be wiped off with a paper towel or cloth when I finished. NOTE: You can't use harsh abrasive cleaners or put the sweeper or roller in your automatic dishwasher. The instruction sheet that comes with the sweeper is easy to understand and must have been written by someone whose first language was English---which I greatly appreciate! This carpet sweeper appears to be well made and durable; and is a bargain at the price. I have no idea why other Fuller Brush carpet sweeper products vary in price----perhaps newer models, two types vs just one type of roller brush, etc. Based on the results of my test and the two Fuller Brush nylon hair brushes that my mother and then I have used constantly since 1950 (which still look brand new other than one has slightly yellowed), I think I will be using this sweeper for years to come and probably daily around cat litter boxes. I highly recommend this carpet sweeper. I hope this information will be useful to you in selecting a carpet sweeper if you have cats.
