Has anyone tried this yet? I sweep my hardwood floors and I think this new broom looks great! I'm also a little in love because it comes in green! LOL Just wondering if anyone has any reviews?
Dirt Devil Broom Vac

I had one of these YEARS ago & wasn't thrilled w/it. I thought that it would be SO great that I actually asked for it for Christmas! It didn't have much umph when it came to the vac part & the bristles were so short that it was hard to sweep with. PLUS if took up precious wall space in the charger! Dh wouldn't use it & he's really the one that sweeps the kitchen. I turned out to be one of those things that I continued to use b/c I wanted to convince myself that it would work! LOL The ones that they are advertising now could be a new generation & better, but if it were me, I'd skip this one.

If I could see it in a store, I would try it out. It does say 60% more power than the original. Thanks for the input!

I had the old one years ago and it was junk. I would have to try it out in the store before I bought one.

Thanks, Karrie and Andi. I had seen the commercials and was thinking about this. Your experience tells me I shouldn't bother, or at least should look at it carefully with your experience in mind.

I will say that I really like the hand held Dirt Devil with the rolling brush. It is wonderful at getting cat and dog hair off of stuff.

I'm hoping Bed, Bath and Beyond will carry it--then I can use my coupon and try it out and then return it if I don't like it. I'll keep you posted. (I like my Dirt Devil that I have now and have had no problems, so my fingers are crossed!)

I was going to say that most places that you can buy these kinds of things allow for returns. Get it and try it at home for a few days and if your not happy, just return it. They may have made some changes and it could be a great product now!!
