OXO Good Grips Upright Sweep Set

Works great on tile and/or Pergo flooring to get tracked cat litter!
That's why I bought it. Just about any cat tracks some litter out of the box and we have 2 huge litter boxes and a multi-cat home. I don't always feel like getting the vacuum, even the Dyson hand-held one. Obviously this does not work on carpet/throw rugs, but it is perfect for a smooth surface. I can quickly sweep up the loose litter!

Works great, too, in the kitchen for crumbs on the floor after my husband has gotten cereal/made a sandwich/grabbed some potato chips...maybe we need a dog, too, to be a crumbcatcher :)

The OXO Sweep Set has it's limitations, but it's a great set for a quick, small job!

Lobby Broom set - A little flashy but it works!
I already owned the previous model of this broom set and this version corrects the major issue that I experienced previously. The red "teeth" do work to comb out the dust bunnies. If you have pets or long haired people who shed, this is invaluable. Without the teeth, it was difficult to get the dust bunnies to stay in the dust pan while I finished sweeping. It is also slightly sturdier than the previous version.

I notice that a lot of people complained about the size of the previous version - which is the same as this one. It is a standard size for what is called a lobby broom. It is designed to stand unobtrusively in a closet or corner and be available for small quick clean up tasks. I have a small uncarpeted area in my house and this works perfectly.

The only defect is that the color has been changed and the teeth are bright contrasting red. So I don't want it standing out in the open and have to hide it in the closet. Anyway, it's great to have a...

Nice but small
This broom & dustpan set has a small broom and a dustpan with an upright handle. There is a clip to hold the 2 pieces together, which makes for easy storage. They are light & convenient. The broom sweeps effectively and the rubber edge on the dustpan keep stuff from being swept under it, quite well. But the handle on the broom is very short (and I am not), which makes it awkward to use. So in sum, it does its job & is probably fine for a smaller person. But for me (at 5'8") it needs a longer handle.
