Bissell 2101-2 Sweep-Up Sweeper, blue



Blue Model has lots of brushes
Amazon could sell more of these if they showed a closeup of the underside. What sold me on this sweeper is 1 long lrg soft brush, 2 long thin stiff brushes, 4 corner brushes. Yes, you still need a regular vacuum, for heavy cleaning and corners.

Handle is threaded + not cheapy. For $20, it's a sweet deal. The sweeper is light, and easy to use while sitting or standing. Cleans about an 8 inch path. Easy to stow. Anyone who's been without power for a few days, can use this!

Carpet:
When a car hit me while in my bike (yes she was ticketed), it was game-over for all housework. My carpet has 1/2" pile and the Bissell Sweep up 2101-2 (blue) works great.

The proof? I ran the Sweep Up left-right-top-bottom (4 times) across 6X14' area where I do Physical Therapy exercises. Usually the pants + shirt are covered in hair. I found 7 hairs. So I swept just once more and re-tried. Only one hair!

Bare floors:

Very Impressed!
I did not purchase this from Amazon, but from a local big-box home improvement store. I have to say that I am more than impressed with this Sweeper, I was skeptical but this little thing is amazing.

Besides being able to quickly clean up area rugs and regular carpet I have to put out there that this thing picks up cat litter in one swipe! That in itself is a reason to purchase this. You do have put a little bit of muscle into it, more than a motorized vacuum but not much. For minor carpet cleaning this is a gem. Last minute guests? Use this for thirty seconds and no one will know the difference.

One thing I have to add; the pictures show it going from Hardwood to Carpet. While it does an incredible job on carpet and area rugs I feel it's not suited for hardwood at all, it just can't grab litter and other crumbs or debris.

Emptying the Sweep Up is also easy. Push at the indicated points and the trays that are held by magnets pop open. Cleaning the...

Works Great
I love this little sweeper. My 4 yr old zooms all over the house sweeping up any mess he can find. I works well on both carpet and hard floors. It seems to do really well with pet hair and small crumbs(it also picks up christmas tree needles very well). It will not replace a standard vaccum but it allows me a much longer stretch of time between whole house vaccums. It seems pretty sturdy and this was a great price. I had this model recommended to me by a friend because it is so easy to empty and I agree completely. I would surely recommend it to anyone for small pick up jobs.
