I like the concept of the broom vac. The idea is brilliant. It's easy to grab and sweep up small messes without pulling out a vacuum or bothering with a broom and dustpan. It's powerful enough for small things like the abundance of cat fur in my house. The bristles of the broom easily grab almost everything from my hard floors and make cleanup simple. The only downside I have is, I struggle to find the best position for the vacuum portion to suck up what I'm sweeping, without maneuvering it a bunch. So I basically have to sweep everything into a pile and then move the broom vac around a bit until it sucks everything up. However, I still find this to be an improvement over having to bend over and use a dustpan! Overall, I would recommend for everyday small messes, on hard flooring.
