Danoz Swivel Sweeper

Crap build poor quality – Poor materials battery died after a few days five hr charge nothing, cost to return so gone to recycling center,(doubt there's anything to recycle being such a poor plastic, wish I'd read the reviews first, Show details

Fabulous Product - picks up pet hair - ideal for elderly/those with mobility issues as it is so ligh – I don't usually purchase items advertised on TV but I did here & I am thrilled. It was 2 for 1 - $99 + 2 x handling fees = $138.90 & worth every cent! Initially I had a faulty unit & it was replaced within a few days without any drama which was great service. The sweeper is lightweight, easy to use & picks up my cats long hair which is what I… Read more ·  2

was hoping it would do.

I use it most days just to get any problem areas tidied & it only takes a couple of minutes.

The charge lasts for 3-4 weeks with my usage.

It gets closer to the skirting boards than my vacuum cleaner does & is great for steps & getting under chairs & other items.

I have picked up spilt rice & glitter without a problem but it doesn't like leaves off my potplants.

Due to my long-haired cats, the brushes also take a bit more cleaning than what was shown on TV as it gets stuck in the bristles but I don't mind as it is easier to clean them than be bending down all the time to pick up bits of hair &/or getting the full sized vacuum cleaner out all the time.

It doesn't replace the full sized vacuum cleaner but goes awfully close.

I could see it being ideal for small units, caravans, cleaning up after children, places with stairs & for people with mobility/lifting difficulty.

An elderly friend on a walking frame saw mine & had to purchase - she also loves hers as it allows her to do some of the cleaning that she previously couldn't do.

First time buying from an Informercial...possibly my last :( – I just received my brand new Swivel Sweeper Max which I ordered online thru Danoz Direct. I charged the battery and was excited to use it this morning. The suction is poorer than I'd hoped and only did an ok job of picking up the mess (Thin carpet in the garage). After about 10 minutes it switched off so I tried emptying it. I was surprised to see… Read more

how dirty the whole sweeper is (obviously its not contained very well in the catcher).

After emptying it, I attempted to keep vacuuming and to my surprise, its switched off again and now isn't working.

I'm not sure what the issue is but I'm very disappointed. This was the first time I've ever purchased anything from an Informercial & now I'm feeling sucked in :(

Also I have long hair and one of the reasons I brought it was because it said, easy to clear hair from the brissles (doesn't tangle like normal vacuums do)...well what a load of bull :(

It took me longer to get the hair out then it would have been to just pick the hair up with a shovel and broom.

Very disappointed :(

Good – I have the first generation of sweeper (2 for the price of 1). My reason for getting it was because I was sick of lugging out my vac every day to sweep up after my 2 little ones and it's been a total godsend! Sure it's a little louder than a vacuum, but so what?! There has to be some price for the convenience, and that's a small one to pay. I've… Read more

used my sweeper every day since I got it. My vac has become obsolete! My first sweeper died after 14 months of daily use, well, the battery went. So I broke out the new one and still use the old battery as a backup, even though it doesn't last nearly as long. I am able to sweep our entire 3 br house in 10 minutes and it even works on short, tight woven carpeting. My eldest (3 1/2) is now the sweeper of the house and my 2 yo is starting to use it as well. There's no way I could have them helping me with my beastly vac.

I love this thing so much that I've recommended it to 4 friends so far and they all love it too! Although, one friend has a longer shag type carpet, which the sweeper doesn't work as well on... which is to be expected, but it does a cracker of a job on the rest of the house. I honestly don't know why everyone is whinging about it. (No, I don't work for Danoz or any company affiliated with the sweeper, just a huge fan) Quick, convenient, does a great job on wood flooring It is a bit louder than my vacuum, the dirt will fall out of the tray if the unit is tipped and hair gets wrapped around the rollers.

The best cleaning product ever – The best cleaning tool ever, I was given one for my birthday and it works very well. It picks up everything on my floors and it is lightweight and easy to use. With the touch less dirt tray it makes it the best cleaning tool ever and the RCR bristle technology is perfect. Because its lightweight I can clean my stairs easily. This is the best product I have ever owned and it will clean up anything. It is truly a great product. Show details ·  1

Best little helper ever – I absolutely love my swivel sweeper max . Makes life easy. I use it every day. I bought 2 gave one away. Then accidentally bought Walter sweeper CHEAPER BUT NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL swivel sweeper. I have just ordered 2 more for friends. Cannot recommend more highly. Do be aware though to only charge battery for 8 hours as per… Read more ·  1

instructions. I have two batteries so i won't be caught out half way through a job. I hope they never go off the market JUST LOVE IT debba953

Great little battery operated sweeper – I sent for this fully expecting to be disappointed, but what a surprise, its great so easy to use and very light to lift and so easy to store close to where I mainly use it that is in the kitchen (we have two dogs so lots of dog hair on the floor) and it goes from Vinyl to floating wood floor to carpet with ease. Its great for everyday use. So easy to empty. Would recommend to anyone

Nothing like advertised – I have had 3 of the older type red swivel sweeper and they were fantastic. As for the new type it is dreadful. Battery does not last more than three minutes, does not pick up well and flicks pieces of dirt all over the place. As for working on carpet - hopeless. My old ones worked well on short haired mats this one does nothing except lose battery power. I am very very disappointed with this product. Give me back the old red one any day. Show details

Life if battery non existant – Bought the first one through Big W. Battery dies after 1 month of use. Got my money back. Bought one via Danoz, gave one to my mum. Really embarrassed when hers stopped working and then mine stopped working. Waste of money. Sticking with my vacuum cleaner..  Show details

What a waste of money – Don't waste your money . Battery will not hold a charge . Just sitting in the cupboard can't remember who I got it from . Would have been better off getting a stick vaccum . Charge it for hours and it will only vaccum for 4 minutes . Never again  Show details

It is Handy for a couple of things only – Can not recommend it for hard floor sweeping as the compartment does not securely hold what you are sweeping up. It's a motorised broom only. If you have a lot of human hair around it will tangle around the brushes terribly and will stop brushes rotating and the advertising is not honest, the hair does not just pull off easily..it's a fight! And… Read more

there are two large and two teeny brushes to remove for cleaning, very awkward. The one and only thing I use it for is for picking up annoying bits of fluff etc on carpets in between vacuuming.

Very disappointed. False advertising must be a camera trick on tv it won’t even pick up – Very disappointed. False advertising must be a party trick. Doesn’t even pick up a granule of bird seed just pushes it along the floor. I won’t be buying anything of tv again. Plus you say it’s quiet it is just about as loud as a vacuum cleaner. Waste of money.  Show details

Great but incredibly brittle – I loved it at first. Was great for Lino and even carpet. Was picking up heaps of grit and mess. But my husband was putting it away and it fell off the hook and broke into pieces. Was really disappointed I thought it would of been more sturdy than it was.  Show details

Waste of money – It clogs up quickly with animal hair. Spend more time picking it off the brushes than actual cleaning with it. I paid for the two deal, but, each of them had a packing charge so the company makes money this way. The battery for the second one was dead and unusable so the unused item was useless. I contacted the company and could have got another battery if I paid for it. A terrible and wasteful product.  Show details

Terrible – I purchased this thinking it would be even better than the original one I had a few years back but boy was I wrong. It spits everything everywhere and if it does pick simething up it will shoot it back out a minute later. I have called danoz and they told me to turn the brushes around but it made no difference. They also said to take it back to… Read more

Big W so I did 5 days later (which is a 45 minute drive) to be told they cant refund or exchanged as it had been used. I did everything danoz told me to do including sending thru copies of my reciept on the first phone call and had no reply for danoz. My sweeper just sits in my cupboard. Waste of $59.99

Only worked well for a few months – Bought this for my elderly mother, after only a few months it completely stopped working. We thought it was the battery and contacted the vendor who sent one, unfortunately this did not fix the issue the Swivel Sweeper remains dead. We have since contacted the vendor again and they have informed us that Danoz refuse to refund or further investigate the issue as they've already sent a battery. Would not recommend using the product or Danoz.  Show details

Broken – To begin with I loved this quick way to wipe up small messes without having to get out the big vacuum. But one day the stick broke and now although it works still and does its job I have to bend down to the broken component to do the job. I found the stick too flimsy and trying to repair it with super glue etc it broke promptly when used. would buy this again if it had a thicker stick.  Show details

Not worth the money – I just received mine and it's not worth unpacking! It does not pick up anything on tile or floor boards and to send them back will cost just as much! So save your money use a broom or just pull out the vacuum. My grandson thought he would use it after spilling crumbs from a cake onto the tile floor guess what the swivel sweeper was useless and the good old vacuum came out,  Show details

Only works well for few months – Purchased about a year ago. Black plastic clip on top of see through shield that opens the top to separate for cleaning fell off. Them machine stopped picking up properly. Had to attach tape to keep cover on when plastic clip fell off. Now after several months, one length of brush at front stopped spinning. Have to clean this product every few… Read more

uses,cempty catch tray & clean brushes. Hair etc also gets caught around inside spinners of brushes. Elderly could not use this product due to constant cleaning maintenance.

3rd Time Around – 3rd time around with the Swivel Sweeper started with G2 then 2 x Max. Same problem with all three at around six months with the plastic cog giving out. This causes as you place the sweeper on the floor the brushes from spinning. Plastic parts cannot take wear and tear. Only vacuum tile floor and carpet bedrooms. Sweeper cleaned regularly and not… Read more

abused. Disappointed as it works well at the start when new, but only to get 6 months use not worth purchasing.

Great for every day floor cleaning – Love the ease in which it moves it is very light and it swivels to get in all corners.We are in a rental at the moment which has vinyl flooring and carpet.It works perfectly on both and always amazed at the dirt it picks up.The house has 4 bedrooms a lounge and dining room and does the lot without having to recharge.  Show details

Worked for awhile – Bought this from Danoz direct at Munno para shopping centre last year it worked very good for awhile but after A few months stopped working it would be okay for someone with no pets as their hair gets.stuck in the wheels and around the brushes stopping it from working would buy if I had no pets  Show details

Excellent cannot recommend this enough – good charge lasts the whole house. not too loud.picks up everything. greats for spills kids pets teenagers. love this thing and cannot recommend it enough wish i could have one at work! dont have to drag out the big vacuum everyday. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT i have a back up still in the box for when the old one dies. wish Big W still sold them  Show details ·  1

Good on hard floors – I really like it on hard floors - not so much on carpets. It has replaced my broom - no dust flares, as all dust from floor is caught. A little harder to push along my carpets as its quite thick pile. Battery-life is good - enough to cover all hard floors - kitchen, bathroom, even front porch tile if I'm feeling frisky. Very easy to clean,… Read more

efficient, effective, worth the money. Try not to let it get clogged. Murder to unclog the bristles! Recommended (for hard floors)

The Max is my best friend – .This time I bought the Max Swivel Sweeper .I found this Max is amazing to the old ones.Better way of cleaning the brushes ,has a magnetic spot on the side of so that it folds to the side .Swivels so much better and picks up perfectly.I has a rechargeable battery .Very easy to get under furniture it has an amazing swivel head that can go under… Read more ·  1

anywhere.I have 2 Dogs and the Max picks up the hair easily so I don't have to take the Vaccum out every time I have to clean the carpet or the wood floors or the tiles picks up on my floors perfectly .The Max swivel sweeper is light to use,and moves across carpet or any other type floors so easily.And extra batteries can be bought from Danoz Direct..My amazing Max could not do without it...

Its perfect for everyday quick sweep up – I love my swivel max. I have had it for a long while now, about 2 years, and it is perfect for my 5th wheeler caravan.In the van it is easy to manouvre under furniture and in the small spaces. I have a bird, 2 cats and a dog in it and it picks up hairs and feathers fantastically.  Show details

Excellent – Just so good and easy to clean - the battery has a life that does my 2 bed unit 2 times before recharging is needed. I need never need to use a broom again and does so well in-between vaccums. I have arthritis and even the broom on my vinyl floors caused my back and legs to ache. This swivel sweeper I call my buzz machine and does just so well. … Read more ·  1

I do not like cleaning it much but so easily done and I take it outside to do so. Well the catch area is smaller than a vaccuum cleaner but so much easier to use and causes me no trouble at all with a good result. Hopefully it will last many years as I have seen in prior reviews. Mind you I have left bad review for the Flavormaster but I should leave good reviews for the good things too.

Great for quick clean up of messy seed eating budgerigars – Bought from Danoz and the only minor problem is that on my white carpet a layer of fluff builds up on top of the unit; took it to Danoz who replaced the unit but the problem still persisted, just nature of the beast I suppose which can occasionally be vacuumed off. Great feature that the rotating brushes can be taken out to remove any hair,… Read more

twine etc wrapped around them and the magnetic latch makes for easy to storage.

Re Jen's problem "Disappointed", don't forget that the new consumer laws allow for repair if one reasonably expects a part to last more than the statutory 1 year warranty period; I believe Danoz still has them in stock so you should approach them directly.I have always found them helpful and they have a direct outlet in Alexandria.

Amazing little sweeper – I cannot believe how good this little sweeper is. It is light, very easy to manoeuvre and easy to empty. I have a large four bedroom house with tiles, carpet and wooden floors and it easily goes between the different surfaces and picks up well on all the different floors and the battery doesn't go flat before I finish. Please don't stop making them.  Show details ·  1

I can't live without it! – I bought as a 2 for 1 many years ago from a Danoz TV ad I saw . One in my classroom and one at home. Never any problems. The one I use at school I use every day on industrial carpet for a quick easy clean up after school, as cleaner comes once a week. At home I use it on tiles, wooden floors and carpet. They both keep doing what they promised and more! I was surprised they have lasted so long and I would purchase one again when I need too.  Show details ·  1

Disappointed – I was really happy with this sweeper except that the battery never lasted long and now it simply won't charge. I purchased this product from Big W and now they don't sell them any more. I really expected it to last longer. It's been sitting in my laundry for a year unused because it won't charge, but I am reluctant to throw it away because if I had a new battery it would work. Surely the battery should have lasted more than a few months.  Show details
