I have a very dusty area to sweep. walking in from concrete and rock parking. will this sweeper hold up?

I think so. I have tried many vacuums. This one is unparalleled in power and suction capacity. Does not reduce with time. Make sure to get extra bags to change from time to time.

We've had ours for a few years now. It's stronger, less expensive and easier to use than other vacuums than other we have owned in the past. I don't know about gravel but for vacuuming its all good.

If it is dry yes one of the best little sweepers for carpet or wood or tile. I am very pleased to own this sweeper as always Amazon comes thru to provide me with the best items

This little sweeper is pretty powerful, I'm sure if you rolled over it a few times it would pick it up.

If you never take it outside, maybe. If you use it outside, it can pick up dirt, sand, etc and really make a mess of your floors.

I think it would work fine. Mine lasted a few months and then broke. We use it in a warehouse for sweepingand I think I would personally go for something a bit more substantial next time.

It is adequate on bare linoleum, better on thinner carpet at picking up hair etc. It doesn't work as well as touted on infomercials. Mine has trouble picking up things on bare floors, things you wouldn't think it would have a problem with. Sometimes it merely flings the debris down the way a-bit further instead of picking it up, making me chase it and then repeatedly trying to get it to go into the sweeper. It is noisy during use and it is a pleasure to shut it off noise-wise. It's easy to store, lightweight, just not as thrilled with it in actual use as after seeing it demonstrated on HSN. Next time I'll look into the manual sweeper, brands seen being used by waiters/waitresses at various local restaurants as no battery is needed and they are used in a commercial way daily, and I would think be designed to do a good job/last a long time.

My experience is that it does fine on carpeted stairs. The brushes rotate consistently, and it picks up a lot, especially dust. First time I used it, I had to empty the canister frequently, as it picked up so much!

It doesn't really "pick up" more than dust, but will push large chunks into a pile. It's great for quickly sweeping large spaces. I wouldn't necessarily call it a detail/nook and cranny cleaning tool though.

HI Judy, it does a fair job on small particles like needles and tiny branches, but kinda pushes the dust and dirt into a pile. I end up getting the broom and dust pan to sweep up the remnants that the spin sweep leaves behind. I use mine for the driveway and sidewalk close to a pine tree. I rate this item as a three, because it is a whole lot faster than sweeping the entire space with a push broom.

Yes it holds it's shape, there were one or two bristles that were bent and outward when it arrived but since then no problems; it picks up fine grit and dust and makes sweeping easier, the floor looks cleaner!

I ended up buying the DC25 Animal. I've had it for 3 months, which isn't a long time for a sweeper, but so far I love it.

It's not extremely dusty here, but I would imagine that it will - it sucks in quite a bit of air. You would need to clean the filter a LOT more often.

It should. you might have to step on it with more weight, but it can handle about any kind of dirt (soft or hard) that Ive used it on.

No Jason it will not, my floors are mostly wood. The two large wheels are both rubber and one small plastic wheel in which the sweeper spins and turns on. The bristles on the brush are soft as well. It does bounce on furniture and baseboards but no scuff marks or damage. I am very particular about my things and would not recommend this sweeper if it caused damage. You would also find that in other peoples reviews that use iRobot.

My experience has been that it only picks up & holds small amounts of dirt. I have the same problem with it leaving dirt to resettle after running it. It works great for larger debris, but not so great for dirt which is what I was hoping for too.

I can only answer for myself, but I love mine and use it enough to make it worth the cost. My husband will get this one out and use it. Never does that with regular sweeper.

Hello Virginia, I moved before having to clean it but would use my vacuum brush on it periodically so the dust wouldn't build up. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.
