FINALLY A Broom Set That Stands Upright And I Can Keep Together!
In my house we have a sock monster- who eats only one sock of every pair.  Then there is the mess monster.  He leaves a mess that no one knows anything about.  We also have another monster which has been frustrating me - the dustpan monster.  This monster not only makes dustpans disappear for months at a time, but when they come back, they have bites out of them or corners missing.  When I saw this, I was ecstatic.  Let's take a look.<br /><br />WHAT IS THIS SET LIKE?<br />This set comes in a box of parts.  You have to put them together, but the instructions are easy to follow and loaded with pictures for those who are visual learners.  Once the set is assembled, you end up with a broom and a dustpan that clip together when not in use.<br /><br />HOW DOES THIS PERFORM?<br />I have to say many brooms have left me wanting more.  This one, however, works just right.  It is not the BEST broom I have ever used, but it is definitely way better than many of them.  The cleaning feature of the dustpan is fantastic.  It really works.<br /><br />DOES THE DUSTPAN LEAVE DIRT ON THE FLOOR?<br />If I press down the dustpan lightly, I find that 95% of the dirt goes in the first time.  I might have to press down with my foot for very fine dirt, but for the most part, it works well.<br /><br />DOES THE DUSTPAN LOCK?<br />The dustpan locks into place, but it also is not hard to press down to use either.  There is no release button, it is pressure activated.<br /><br />IS THERE A HOLE TO HANG THIS FROM?<br />No, there is not a hole to hang this from.  You will have to use a clip broom hanger style to put this on the wall.<br /><br />DOES THIS STAND UP?<br />When this is put together and the dustpan is up, the counterbalance of the broom causes this to stand up pretty well.<br /><br />THE BOTTOM LINE<br />I am very happy to have this set.  I love the dustpan which seems to work quite well and also has the great cleaning feature for the broom bristles.  It definitely does clean off pet fur and dust.<br /><br />MY RATING<br />FIVE STARS.  I LOVE THIS SET.  I have looked for a long time for a set like this- but the best part is that it stores well and stands up nicely too- It is compact.
