OXO Good Grips Upright Sweep Set - Broom and Dustpan

First, the pygmy elephant in the room - this thing is small. the broom is completely inadequate for trying to sweep a whole room, but it's great for pulling out when you need to spot clean some kind of a spill. I'm still giving it 5 stars and will get to why, but just don't expect this to be the last broom and dustpan you'll ever own. Where this thing shines is in the quality Oxo puts in all of their products. The silicone lip does a great job of picking up the pile of dirt and dust in just a sweep or two. The silicone grippers on the upper part are great for catching hair and fluff off the broom. The materials look striking and high quality, and the parts generally all work well. What this kind of dustpan does for you is really saves your back from having to stoop down on the floor, and that's well worth it. Given the small size, I found myself generally cleaning with a regular broom, but then coming around with this to pick up the pile I'd created, and it was well worth the extra tool to save your back and not fighting a crappy plastic dustpan you have to sweep 6-7 times and you've still got crumbs on the floor it's not catching and you're doing it all bent over the whole time. Well worth it and I keep it around in the kitchen to quickly clean and catch spills on the spot.

My old favorite was the Quickie set, which was just a plain long handled dustpan (flat, not like an enclosed box) and broom but they are no longer available. After reading lots of reviews I went with this set. And it is small but it's perfect for getting into little nooks and around furniture legs etc. The sweeping function is great, the capturing function is also great, and easy to empty. Extremely lightweight so no fatigue. I am 5 foot six with normal length arms. I don't have to stoop over while using. It's a high-quality looking item and looks like it will last and has good grip too. Two more things I'd like to add after using a larger heavier one today in my garage: the fact that the collection box locks in the open position is so much more efficient than having it swing shut every time you lift it off the ground. And there's something about the handles and grips and the whole design that makes it seem like it's springy, like it's doing part of the work itself. It feels very much like an extension of your own arms and hands.

OXO Good Grips Upright Sweep Set ($27.99) This is a small broom that I ordered to keep in the kids' bathroom. The bathroom floor is often covered with pet hair and my kid's hair. They have long hair and brushes it and it falls to the floor to collect. The measurements of the broom is in the description and in the photos. I took note of these and knew what to expect. The broom bristles are of high quality and stiff. I have purchased a similar broom for the main bath and the bristles were "soft" and "bouncy" and flung dust and debris everywhere while using. I love this broom as it works well in collecting, dirt, pet hair and kids' long strands. The dustpan is also very nice. Has teeth that can help filter out hair and fur from collecting on the bristles. Together the dustpan and broom snap together on the handles and the pan can be turned upright so that this could be stored in the bathroom closet and not take up much room. This is perfect for a small space. This would not be appropriate to use for a large room or space. This is exactly what I was looking for. OXO brand products rarely disappoint. Highly recommended!

It's not as big as I thought it would be. I guess I didn't pay attention to the measurements. The handle is shorter and the brush part is more like a slightly wide whisk broom. it's not really for big jobs. Better for just sweeping up small spills or lint. I do like the dust pan though. No trouble brushing the trash into it.

Eeny weeny teeny tiny. Child sized. I guess plastic is getting more expensive and companies are using less but charging the same price. That means their products are designed for 4 foot tall children. Shrinkflation, I think they call it. The thing sweeps fine, but if you mean it for a full room it will take you 4 times longer than your O Cedar-type adult size broom or dustmop will. Still it is effective in sweeping up tiny pansfull of dog hair and spilled flour and eggshells. I do like the teeth on the pan that can catch my fallen hair the broom found on the bathroom floor. And it's nice not to have to stoop to use the big dustpan I used to have. As it is, I use my big old broom to sweep up large areas and then switch to this tiny thing to fill a pan. And it takes two or three more trips to the trash can to clear up the detritus my full sized broom presents to me than the old stoopy dust pan could collect. If you stand taller than 5'2", or you'd rather save time doing chores, look around for another similar product and be sure to look at the dimensions before you click "Buy Now". I relied on the quality of previous items I'd purchased from this brand and I did not read reviews. In photos, the set looks full sized. When it's unpacked, it's sized for playing house. Irksome.

I wanted a broom and pan set that was sturdy, compact to store, and worked well for quick sweeps after cooking. This is perfect for me on all accounts. Both the dustpan and broom are sturdy and crumbs & dust bunnies are easily swept from the toe kick around the kitchen. I love that they are each constructed of one solid sturdy pole. I'm so sick of products that are shipped in short pieces requiring you screw the poles together. Inevitably that type of construction leaves the poles weak and wigglely during use. Not so with this OXO Good Grips sweep set. Here's why reading this review may matter to many: This set is VERY short. Please be sure to check the dimensions in the description. I'm VERY short so it works perfectly for me. If you're tall you will definitely be bending over to use this set. If you're using it as I am, for quick pickups the height may not matter but this isn't for sweeping entire floors in large rooms. It would be too short even for me to use it that way.

Until I get a real butler this will have to do. The teeth on the dustpan helps clean the brooms bristles clean.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SMALL SET, usually known as a LOBBY BROOM used by restaurants, offices, in kitchen corners, etc. for quick sweep-ups. It is NOT meant for general cleaning. I wish it were described as such, so that people wouldn't be disappointed in its "child-size." It would also have saved me a couple of hours of searching online, as a lobby broom is what I wanted and everything else is way too large. OXO makes one like this in a full-sized model, look for it if that's what you want. The quality will be the same. Anyway, back to the lobby broom. I love this one. It stands alone either collapsed or open flat! I can sit it in any corner and it takes up almost no space and doesn't have to be leaning against anything. The broom bristles are slightly angled and are those nice, soft, OXO bristles that are thorough but gentle to hardwood, and that I love in my full-sized OXO broom. You can clip the broom almost anywhere along the dustpan handle, so you don't have to fuss with getting it in the dustpan for storage. And the comb for the bristles has rounded tines, so it's effective but gentle to the broom bristles. The beauty of a lobby broom is that you can leave it out and ready for any furry, crumby, or dusty mess. I love it for the entryway from the attached garage, too. This one makes my life easier. Highly recommended.

Hasta que no lo pruebas no lo sabes. Muy bien pensado y fabricado. Un gran recogedor que no decepciona. Lo aconsejo totalmente.

Already had one of these brush sets so knew what to expect..l really like the rubber lip..makes sweeping easy..also the teeth to remove things stuck to your broom..not cheap but worth it..l would recommend

Een stevig ding, goed ontworpen. In praktijk klappen wij hem nooit om maar hij staat altijd klaar voor gebruik met het 'blik' in de veegstand en kiepen we hem ook zo leeg. Hij is niet erg groot, je moet wel best nauwkeurig vegen :-). Nadeeltje: het vegen met de veger in die ergonomisch lastige stand kost veel armkracht. Eigenlijk zou idealiter nog een dwars handvat boven aan de steel moeten zitten.

Ottimo per pulire gli angoli delle stanze e sotto i mobili dove non ci passare con un scopa più grande.

This item was not close to the original one I had, the dust pan does not work, it less the dust go under it and only collects large items. Very disappointed.
