Others say...
"Great for Kids!" I am 5'6" and this is WAY too short for me to use. It has been great for the kids to sweep under the kitchen table though. I think they made this as a toy and didn't state that in the description. It is not a standard size broom. "A Little Small" I like the style of dust pan that comes with this broom, but I feel the broom itself is a little too small. "Fantastic for those who are unable to bend!" This sweep set is really well made and sits in a small space with handles clipped together. No more bending to sweep up the dirt! Love it! Another great OXO product! "no sweep broom" It isn't a good broom and doesn't sweep well at all. Not happy with my purchase "Works fine, but handles are too short" This is fine for small jobs. I bought this so that I wouldn't have to bend down to the floor to sweep up the dirt. Unfortunately, the handles are very short, so you still have to bend over. I'm only 5'1", and I even find it to be too short. Also, the broom is smaller, more narrow than most regular brooms. The dust pan works fine, but again the handle is short and sits at a strange angle. I feel that it should bend backwards a bit to make it easier to set it flat on the floor for sweeping in the dirt. For the price, it's worth it for small jobs. Just be aware that it is short.

Oxo Good Grips Upright Sweep Set, (Silver)
Why I buy this one ? - Dust pan locks in place for control - Rubber lip on dust pan optimizes floor contact - Broom has soft, comfortable handle - Broom handle has oval cross-section to prevent spinning - Broom and dust pan snap together and store compactly Special offer for you..find the cheapest!
Organize-It offers this stuff with condition New, new for:
What our customer's say! "Compact very efficient compact broom & dustpan!", This very compact broom and dustpan is great for getting into tight spaces. The broom works extremely well sweeping mats as well as bare floors. I leave the dustpan standing on the floor with the broom snapped on to it. It takes up very little floor space. You can snap the dustpan up so it can hang flat against the wall, attached to the broom. The snapping mechanism does not seem that sturdy to me. If you purchase this item, keep this in mind. It seems like continuous snapping and unsnapping the dustpan into place for sweeping and back into a flat position will cause it to collapse. It is best to just let the dustpan sit on the floor, rather than hang it up, so that you do not have to keep buying a replacement sweep set. The dustpan and broom are a nice height, especially for such a compact set. You do not have to stoop over to sweep with this sweep set unless you are very tall. "Nice broom and dustpan", I don't know why everyone is complaining about the height of this set. It's no different than any other broom and dustpan combination set out there. It's the exact same height as my old one that needed to retire. My husband is 6'1" and he doesn't complain about it being too short to use. I'm really pleased with this item. It stores so nicely, too. I'm glad I ignored all the complaints and went ahead with the purchase. "So far si good", We bought this broom/dustpan for our RV. This is our first trip using it. I especially like the front edge. It really does direct everything to go into the dustpan not under it. I also like that it can hang up as space in an RV is limited. When it arrived it did not seem as strong as I had hoped, but as I said in my title......so far so good. "Not typical "Good Grips" quality", I am a big fan of Oxo's Good Grips product line, and have been known to purchase items I have no actual need for, figuring if I ever do have a need, I want the best. This particular item, however, truly disappoints. The plastic tray is very flimsy. The hinging mechanism on the tray is not very good--I think it is intended to allow the tray to lock in either an open or closed position, but does neither very well. The center of gravity of the handles is such that it tends to tip over unless balanced perfectly or left leaning against a wall. I plan to keep my eyes open for a reasonably-priced commercial version to replace this as soon as possible. "I love this broom set", I really like this broom set. It's perfect for my small apartment, stores nicely against the wall and is very easy to use. Sweeps up really well too. A great feature is that the dust bin will stand up on its own, so no need to hold it. The broom handle has a great flexible palm protective grip on top, so no sweeping blisters. As for the height, I worked in a few restaurants when I was younger and all of them had loads of these types of broom sets, which are meant to be this height. They're meant for quick sweep up jobs and easy storage. Because of the shorter handle, if you want to hold it like a regular broom (gripping at the top of the handle), you will have to lean over slightly. If you don't want to lean at all, you're supposed to hold it further down the handle, not at the top, with your arm straightened. ![]()
Read this reviews before You buy... "Merrill", Just what I have been looking for. A NICE upright sweeper. Can't find this at WalMart. "OXOX DUST PAN AND BRUSH--AN ANSWER TO MY BACK", I am disabled and have been in search of a dustpan and brush which would allow me to stand rather than bend over. This five-star product is the answer to my prayers. It has given me the grip that I need, too. "Attractive but short, and doesn't stand up", If I had seen this in a store I would have known what I was getting. Despite the reviews saying it was short, I was expecting a slightly-small full-size broom, which would have been fine (I'm 5"1'). But it isn't a full-size handle, the top only comes up to mid-chest height. This is fine for small pick-up jobs, but I was looking for a primary broom for sweeping the apartment, and at this price I expected something bigger. The look and feel is nice, which I have to say was a major factor in my purchase. I could have bought the one ugly plastic blue thing they had at the local drugstore, but I wanted something with a little more style and quality, which is why I had to take it online. The major problem, as others have mentioned, is that it doesn't stand independently, at least not without a major balancing act -- it will lean against a wall just fine, but it won't stay upright unsupported, quite a disappointment in an "upright" broom. So, if you're looking for an attractive not-full-size broom for small jobs and you don't require it to stand upright, and you are willing to spend a fair amount of money on it, this might be the broom for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. "Doesn't Stay Upright Very Well", I would not purchase this product. It is made for a shorter person like most of the reviewers have said, but that is not the reason I don't like it. It does not stay upright very easily. I store it on the floor in a closet and almost every time I open the door the broom and dust pan handle fall to the floor. It is very annoying that I cannot get the dust pan handle and broom to stay upright the majority of the time! "Compact and convenient", The upright part is really important. A little hard to hold onto the broom handle but it can be done and certainly beats having to bend down with a little brush. ![]() |
