I've been using this sweeper for almost two years (I bought my first one at CVS).  First of all, I love how narrow and easy to navigate it is.  I love that there are sweepers on all 4 sides. I love how easy it is to empty the dirt, and how easy it is to clean the bristles.  I use it to sweep a room I only occupy one day a week, which meant that the battery might have been a problem because I would have to either leave it charging all week (they recommend not doing that), or only charge it for the hour or two we use the room.  Well, at first we tried charging it only the hour or two, and the battery always seemed low.  I was worried we would have to replace it.  But we tried instead leaving it in the charger all week-- and now we have no problems!  So their warning not to leave it plugged in is unfounded in my experience.
For my own house I bought a Bissel because I thought the battery on the Swivel might have a short life- enough to sweep 1 room, but maybe not 4 or 5, but in retrospect, I kind of wish I'd gotten this one instead.  I now moved the Bissel to work in an art-room because it seems like it picks up larger chunks of debris than the Swivel unit, but I haven't done a side-by-side comparison yet, nor have I tested to see if this battery makes it through 4 rooms-- I'll post my results when I do.

My daughter recieved this as a gift when she turned 3.  It was not her favorite toy at first, but as her SIXTH birthday approaches this week I must say in the past 3 years the vacuum has become one of the prize toys in the house.  Around 4.5 she realized how much fun it really was to follow me around the house while I cleaned and be able to "help"!  The motor is not too loud, but realistic.  The light on the front makes it more real and it really does pick up lint and dust!  She is always asking "Where do I vacuum now???" and for a child who doesn't like to pick up her toys she has a VERY clean floor! Although - I must agree on the attachments - they come off too easily, although she has never shown an interest in them and figures they are just "there" the same as Mom's are!

This is Mommy's Little Helper! With two hyper kids who track in all sorts of stuff, their friends, a big dog and me (who hikes, gardens and tracks in all sorts of stuff) I am always fussing over the floor in the foyer, living room and kitchen. In the summer I want to walk around barefoot and I HATE having anything stick to my feet, and I do yoga in the living room, which gives me a really good look at my carpet.

My old vacuum was a Dyson, which I loved, but it's heavy and with arthritis in my shoulders there are just some days I couldn't use it. This little guy solved all my problems. Push a button, off he goes, he does a great job going from tile to carpet, circling the entire main floor. The stairway down has a tiny lip and he's only made like a lemming and tumbled once. Either he learned or it was just a fluke that he didn't catch the edge and turn. Either way, not having to remember to block that is very useful.

I've had mine two years now. The little blades are easy to replace (I replace them when they look torn up and sad). The filters work great (I brush them off each time I empty the bin and replace every 4 or 5 months). And while he occasionally gets stuck in interesting places and cries for help, it hasn't been a problem. I usually nudge him down with a foot, tap his button, he revs his engine and gets back to work. When he gets stuck under a bed discovering something the kids have hidden, that's a bigger issue. Cereal boxes he can push out but a Halloween's worth of candy wrappers in one sitting will choke him.

Neato customer service was great the one time I had to call them (machine was fine, I was confused), and about the only down is getting the little guy to dock correctly. It worked fine at our old house but here I can't find a place that works, so I set that aside and I plug him in manually, which means he has to be unplugged to work. But the littlest kid is trained to 'unleash' him so that's solved for me too.

Twice a week, sometimes upstairs and downstairs, for two years (so at least 208 cleanings) and I would buy my Neato again without hesitation. If you like a clean floor and you have a busy house, this is a sanity saver!

This is the 4th Dyson product I have owned, and it is my favorite! It is so light, flexible and easy to use, and I have been very impressed with how long a full charge lasts. Love this sweeper!

I have had one for years and dearly love it. Does what it says and more. Can't use my Oreck because of arthritis and not a crumb gets by this one.. You will not be sorry unless you expect it to do what a larger sweeper would do.

so far so great!  I really like the power of this sweeper, it has cleaned more in the week I have had it than the last year with my slowly dying old machine.  I have yet to try all the attachments....there are alot!  My kids have been able to use this with ease.  I like how light weight it is!  I would highly recommend!

hehe, We love this broom, my 2 year old always wants to sweep and do the things the rest of us do, now she has one more tool that allows her to :) Our full sized broom is just much to big for her, and she just loves this one. Maybe I will dress her as a rainbow witch this Halloween!

I bought 8 of these Swivel Sweepers because they are fantastic!  I have 7 children and most of them have been given a Swivel Sweeper.  One of my sons had already bought one about  7 years ago and told me I should get one and I did  The one I bought 7 years ago stopped working and went to the great beyond, so there was only
one thing to do, so I bought a new one.  Long live Swivel Sweeper!

I've had two of these over the last six years. They are indispensable with kids or pets. Used daily, they worked great. I've regularly gotten mine to pick up frozen, wet peas and corn from the floor. Much better than the bissel which won't pick up anything larger than a crumb. This thing will suck up my kids small toys if I'm not careful. Great little daily vac that every parent should own. Searching for a new one now that mine has finally pooped out after about three years and two batteries. They are selling a newer, green model of this at the bullseye store for fourty bucks, just fyi, but no, its not Prime.

My family has purchased 3 of these in the past 3 years, so I have input from all of us.
My grandma has had hers the longest: single super tidy old lady with no pets who cleans often, this this is perfect for her.
Mom got hers over a year ago: she has 1 corgi and keeps an immaculate house, cleaning often. She had to replace her brush head bc it broke after 6 months and now the replacement doesn't suck as well as the first one. Corgi hair is pretty short still so it doesn't clog her head too bad.
Me: I have a sheltie and various other dogs that I foster and a kid who leaves legos everywhere.  I don't clean regularly, and when I do, I basically have to spot sweep big stuff before I turn on the vacuum so I don't suck up legos or clog the head with dog hair. But even this doesn't save the head: dog and human hairs wrap around the rod the head rotates on, clogging it all up. The head won't turn unless you get rid of them.

So in short, no kids and no dogs, this is great for you. The suction is good, tho you'll need to unplug and plugin a lot bc the chord is not long or use an extension.

Households with short hair dogs, still ok .

Long hair dogs, don't bother unless you sweep before you vacuum which is so silly.

I bought this Polaris 280 Vac-Sweep to  replace the one I bought about 25-30 years ago. It is the best one on the market today.

This is the second one that I've purchased.  Very durable, a long lasting sweeper.  A little awkward to empty but does a great job.

Gave to my daughter to replace some she has had for a couple of years and she was ecstatic.

I love the Broom Huggie!  I want one so bad! My mother and Aunt have one and I am super jealous. I hope I get one for Christmas!!!!!

I can't live without this sweeper! I use it literally every day to clean up after my kids and my cat. I usually replace it after two years of heavy daily use. It picks up dropped food as well as sweeps up hair. It is quiet enough to run when others are still sleeping. The cordless feature is a must have. It charges quickly and holds a charge well. Lightweight, flexible, easy to carry up and down stairs.
