Review on Efficient And Convenient Long Handle Broom And Dustpan Set For Hassle-Free Cleaning At Home And Office by Kelly Ponder

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy to use, sturdy, but one major design flaw

This broom combo was easy to put together, I love the bristle catch, but it has one major design flaw. If, like me, you have your garbage can against a corner or wall, and your can has a flip top or raised lid, you will find it a giant pain to empty this.It's obvious the first time you use it, that the brush scoop doesn't, and cannot, flip upside down and can only be tiled one way. This means you're either stuck kinda tapping the dust out of the bin at a weird angle while trying not to hit anything with the handle of the scoop, or you have to detach the handle of the scoop entirely. I don't find either solution to be very convenient.This could have been fairly easily prevented with a larger scoop "hoop" that attaches the scoop handle to the scoop itself. It cannot, unfortunately, be modified any DIY hack that would cost less than the cost of the broom itself.Otherwise, this has lasted a fairly long time for a $20 broom/scoop set (1 year so far). The plastic bristles are slowly falling out, but that's a given in almost any broom that sees use, and this still has likely another 5+ years of life left in it at LEAST.So if you're ok with the awkward angle of emptying the scoop, or you have a garbage with no top at all, this would work nicely for you

Pros
  • Parts & Accessories
Cons
  • The handle is not heat-resistant, potentially melting or warping near high temperatures
