Review on Black Carlisle 36141503 Duo-Pan Plastic Lobby Pan and Duo-Sweep Broom Combo, 36- inch Length x 11-51/64- inch Width by Eric Williamson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's all about the broom!

Not a bad product other than the nozzle itself. It's too heavy and doesn't compensate for sweeping movements. That means it becomes awkward to operate the broom with one hand! The bristles are also very stiff and rough, which exacerbates the problem. This sweeper's head resembles one that might be used to clean a garage. I also found the buttons to be more difficult to mount as the spring loaded button clips protruded too much and the springs were too stiff. The two buttons must be pressed with one hand and with the other hand slide the handles together to connect them. This may not be too difficult for a 30 or 40 year old, but for us elderly people with weakness in our arms it can be a real problem! The other half, a bucket (or frying pan?) seems to work well, and my hugging the floor does a good job of catching fine dust particles. All in all it's like a product that looked great on the drawing board but unfortunately wasn't well thought out (ergonomically) in actual assembly, testing and production! Fixing a broom will greatly increase your productivity!
