Is there something about this broom that makes it better than just getting a regular broom and cutting the handle down?

Well, the colors are fun and the handle/ratio of the broom is more "kid sized" I personally, think this is more fun and kid friendly but it would probably be the dame deal if you cut your own down.

The entire broom (bristle head and handle) is smaller, in proportion, to a regular sized broom, so it isn't too heavy or too cumbersome for our 3-year-old and 6-year-old, and it actually works well to help sweep. We saw these in a boutique toy store before buying them on amazon for much less- they were high quality and a good size, compared to the much much smaller toy broom versions from, say, Target or Wal-Mart. Ours bent in shipping, though, so we ordered a replacement.

If I gave my 4 year old or 7 year old kids the broom that I use its still bigger at the bottom. The kids broom is not only smaller at the bottom and shorter but it comes with a kid size dust pan and small sweeper. My kids love to help sweep and the kid size broom is made for kids so they feel like they are helping and it's easier for them to maneuver.

It is very lightweight...not sure if a regular broom cut down would be as light or not.

I would say that the entire broom's size is smaller so getting a regular sized broom would still present the issue of too much bulk for a kid. We have a few regular brooms as well and they are all much bigger, let alone taller, than this one. Also, I have not found the small dust pan and brush anywhere else in this size.

I have never tried to, it would depend on the width of the handle.It is great for broom sizes.

Yes. The handle is detachable, so if you needed it for a longer reach, it's easy to assemble and stays on pretty good and removes easy as well for a shorter reach.

It appears to me its a screw-in handle similar to hardware store type brooms.

Yes, its longer than a normal broom handle is, I measured the handle not including the rake or attachment piece, it's 55 inches.

I bought this based on the one my Mother had in the U.K. for many years. She never had a problem with the handle, and I have been very happy with mine. No handle problems, and a great little sweeper. This gets along the edges and really does a great job.

Yes, it is better because the MOP HEAD is made of a Micro fiber and particles get stuck in it. I just sweep first, no need to bring out the vacuum cleanerI have a wonderful broom from Europe with horse hair-fantastic! Have fun mopping!

YES and it words better. You only need to use this and no broom. The broom could scratch your hardwood floors. This picks EVERYTHING up

because it attaches to the handle of the broom. It's actually very convenient.

It doesn't seem to be because it doesn't screw in like other broom heads do. I hope this helps.

my handle is a normal broom size length, however, i assume that you can use any adjustable handle from any other product and just switch back and forth if need be.

So now I've had the ManGroomer for a while and like how it works. It's not lightning fast, and I find that the handle gets in the way sometimes, but it works well overall with little irritation (very nice feature). I recommend it. :-)

I gently wring out the scrubber with my fingers a bit to keep it from being too soppy when I clean the glass and I don't really have a problem with it flipping water on the glass when I use the squeegee end. The thing works like a dream--as far as making a the job easier and faster--and even a bit fun. I bought one for my dad who was complaining about his squeegee and when we used it on his windows, he was sold. He's not one to enjoy housework that requires a lot of fuss and this does the trick beautifully. I've been using mine for quite some time and am still delighted. And the scrubber has held up to washing beautifully over many washes.

As with most large brooms it pulls debris better than it pushes. Overall a great product for any use. Great quality. Should last forever.

I bought mine over a year ago. (and I think it's as useful as a broom handle) but it does have a little round magnet attached at the tip. Maybe they've made their product even worse. I had a great grabber from a hospital stay. Maybe a hospital supply offers a better product.

The handle does screw into the broom itself. Iam very pleased with this product.
