How does it do at edges? I really just need it for a quick pickup to replace a broom and dustpan between big cleanings (to get baby's Cheerios, etc.)

You will love it. I just threw a some cherrios under the cabinet toe kick and it suckedthem up...no problem. It has enough power. I like that it stands up and has more power than a stick battery broom. I missed having at my daughters while I was babysitting.

It's ok, but not great at edges. The roller brush stops short of the side edges, but it does have little fixed brushes that are designed to get along the edge. I would think it would pick up cheerios, etc. It's a really convenient, lightweight little machine.

It does that well so long as you empty the cylinder when necessary and clean the foam filter as it gets dirty (both being easy things to do). Should do Cheerios very well. We use it to pick bits of cat litter dragged around the house.

Hoover should upgrade their customer service. Some food particles get into spaces so hard to access that a hose nozzle or broom is the only solution. But for average floor Cheerios, this device is likely to work.

I'm very impressed with the way this picks up things. It ofcourse is not as good a full size but it does very well on the edges. It acually picks up little limestone rocks that get stuck to shoes from the yard. It should have no problem picking up cherrios.

I have not had a problem with it not picking up in corners or along the moulding at the bottom of the cabinets. Does great on cat hair and cat litter, as well as tree needles tracked in from outside.

I would rate it okay or fair at edges. I found that it is poor if moving it straight forward to the wall molding but satisfactory if moving it along its side along the wall.

Works great on edges for us. It gets dog hair and the kid's little messes too out of the corners/edges. We have really enjoyed it.

I love a swiffer to get to all those places I can't reach. Th Wool Dry Mop is "gangbusters" for my wooden floors. It does a great job picking up the dust, and not moving it around.Elliot

It's just OK on hard floors, but it's tricky. We use this on vinyl to pick up cheerios and similar debris. The brushes don't seem to touch the floor unless you push down on it a bit, though it might get better with age as the springs loosen. It also doesn't work very well for cleaning up litter our cats track onto the hardwood.In short, get yourself a little upright dustpan and broom set instead. We use it far more often, as it's more reliable. For thorough cleaning, we use a vacuum designed for hard-floors.(I'm sure the OP has already made his decision, but thought I'd answer for future readers.)

Not really as a broom especially with larger or a great deal of dirt or dust. It is much better suited for dusting and cleaning with the appropriate heads..

It picks up EVERYTHING even stuff between cracks of your floor boards. It gets edges very well too if you vacuum parallel to the edge of a wall.

I am not sure what you are asking? This vacuum has adequate suction to pick up lots of animal hair in my home. It does not do well on edges so the edger needs to be used to get along the wall and carpet area.

Yes. it it actually seems to attract dust. Never had a broom that works even close to this.

Only at the edges.. I just step on the edge of a rug as I'm coming up onto it. Once the vacuum is a few inches onto the rug, there are no problems with it.

You can't up a brick. You can pick up dust, wood shavings and small trash in a hard to reach corner though. Based on a history of buying totally unsatisfactory hand held portable vac, this is the best I have had. If you already use DeWalt 18 volts tools and have a few of their batteries, I would recommend one of these.

We use it in our hair salon, and it's the only broom in over 40 years that we've found that actually gets everything you sweep without scattering it. No problems in corners. You get what you pay for with this one.

I bought this in part to deal with cat litter. It does pick up litter if it is scattered in the middle of the floor, but you can't really use it to get around the edges of the box, where most of the litter seems to collect in my house. I tried it on clumping corn and clay.

Works great on a hard surface (tile/hardwood). I use it to clean up around the litter pan, and picks up the litter with ease, even on a rug. Not sure about hair that might be "attached" to a carpet. Great power -- best hand vac I've owned. Only complaint . . . and it's minor . . . no warning when the battery is low. It just stops.

Yes, for quick pick ups but It won't take the place of a traditional vacuum

I haven't had to pick anything up by hand yet! If it doesn't pick it up head on then it does sideways. This is a stick, not a dyson. I have had 3 sticks and this is the best by far. One was so bad I gave it to my friends grand daughter to play house with. Take your time, be thorough and this stick will clean as I stated barefoot clean!

I love this mop. I spray the bottom of the mop with Endust (not Pledge) and it removes all the dust under chairs, in corners(pretty well), and under cabinet edges. It swivels on the handle to reach almost any spot. It will push large pieces of debris into a pile, but will not pick them up like it doses dust.

It works like a dream....no wobbling....made Tollhouse cookies last week. I have the flex edge beater...highly recommend it to reduce scraping.

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.
