I first became interested in the Broom Vac because I often have little pockets of dirt on my hardwood floors and have to use a broom to sweep up the mess and then pull out my large vacuum to finish the job. I live in an apartment that has very little storage and needed something that is small but powerful. The Broom Vac lived up to it's name and gave me the best of both worlds. The Broom Vac provides both options in one and cut my clean up time in half. It small footprint is perfect in my kitchen closet. I would recommend the Broom Vac to anyone that likes to keep their floors clean.
