Review on Efficient Cleaning with the Karcher KB5 Cordless Sweeper in Yellow by Ryan Gilliam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple and easy to use

I bought this electric broom mainly to clean dog hair. I have a lab that spills all the time, and when you sweep, balls of dust fly off the tray. Not wanting to lug around a powerful vacuum cleaner or fiddle around with a broom every day, I went this route. The product description on the Internet is quite detailed. Its purpose and function are very clear. The item came quickly and was well packaged. The instructions are very simple and I put them together in a few minutes. I mainly use it for collecting dog hair on a daily basis and it helps. Advantages: a) takes up very little space in the closet. b) fits easily under cabinet fronts and chair rails. c) the container with the dust can be easily removed and emptied. You have to do this every time you use it. d) extremely light weight. It's really fun and comfortable to use. Everyone in the house loves to play around with it. e) Does what it is supposed to do in my application. If you have to constantly sweep, this makes the process pleasant and very easy. e) great design and I like the color. g) No on/off buttons. You just push the handle and it starts. Cons: a) Although the spinning brush is very easy to remove, like cleaning a hairbrush. Dog hair is wound onto a roll. b) I want the charging cable to run closer to the top and not the bottom. But not sure how it can work. I love him anyway. If someone is short on storage space and needs to sweep daily this is a great product. A few notes: a) I've found that the straight forward motion works best compared to the back and forth vacuum style. As you pull back, the hair will settle from the roller onto the carpet. b) I've found Karcher to work very well with my finer indoor and outdoor rugs, but I haven't used it on higher pile rugs according to the directions, which it's not intended for. c) It seems to be pretty good at picking up dirt from my hallway tile floor. D) I have an outlet in the closet. This makes it convenient to connect to the store. I have never owned an electric sweeper so there is nothing quite like it. I am very satisfied with this product and really love it and recommend it.
