The Broom: the one that mystically sweeps everything without leaving anything behind.

As I have said many times, I don’t pay as little attention to TV and radio ads as possible. I have had over 70 years to train myself and I have gotten good at it. My wife, not so much, and she wanted the broom. I figured the broom we had does pretty good and with a couple of sweeps, it gets it all. However, my job now is to spoil her so I got one for.

Decided to write a critique on it, so you will benefit from my purchase.

Well, I like it sort of. It does work every bit as advertised. It is very good at what it was made for. Even so, there are miles of possible improvements. If you are going to use it a lot, you will likely want to either replace or reinforce the handle. It is very flimsy. I think one needs to be careful not to bend it, which would mean replacing the handle anyway. I really can’t believe they didn’t use either wood or a heavier gauge steel. I mean, steel is not one of our most expensive metals. I think it is about 6 or 7 cents a pound. I don’t think there are 2 ounces in the handle. If the handle was one pound, it would be much stronger.

The second problem might be a little more difficult to resolve and I wish it wasn’t. When it comes to time to sweeping into a dust pan, I have to switch to another broom. The broom is too wide and it simply does not work with my dust pan. Then again, maybe others have wider dust pans and it would work just fine.

One thing I discovered I really like, it really gets the stuff at the floor’s edge. It got some stuff out of there I didn’t know was there. This in itself might make it worth what I paid for it.

There is one good aspect they just might not even know about. The broom handle is in sections. By removing sections, the broom becomes a handy and very effective whisk broom.

So, for whatever good, that is my opinion.

Oh, by the way, the wife likes it. She even suggests a push broom made on the same concept. She actually might have a point there. Maybe even a good lawn rake.

We bought it at the nearby Walmart, but I forgot to get the milk. Maybe I need to go back monyana. Don’t much want to go through the coming storm without milk.
