I remember my mother always using a carpet sweeper and I was just saying the other day that I would like to get one. Hope there are some good recommendations posted.

Hi @twinsister

They were great, especially when you just needed to run over a small space. I checked some out this morning and they have them with batteries or a cord. I just want the old fashioned kind that won't weigh much.

Hi @Noel7 - Yes, I also want the old fashioned one. I will look up the one that @SilleeMee mentioned - sounds like what we want.

I love my Swivel Sweeper (Amazon) and my Dust Buster I've had for years. The hair will get caught up in the sweeper (but not as bad as others I've owned), so just be sure to get as much out as you can after each use.

@Katwilks I bought something identical from HSN. It was great at first, but then the battery didn't charge and it didn't pick up at all.

@twinsister,

The Fuller carpet sweeper has really good reviews, too! I have the Bissell one...battery-free, push by hand and it's great. The brush comes out for easy cleaning.

I hope they don't all have batteries, I'd like the really old fashioned kind. I really don't know anything about them though, I assume you have to take out the brush and wash it every so often.

DH is going to do some research online about the choices.

Target has some online.

@Noel7,

If you want the old-fashion kind without a battery then look for "ELECTROSTATIC" carpet sweepers....these don't have any batteries in them.

@SilleeMee - I just ordered the Fuller sweeper. Looks good. Thanks so much for posting the item number! I think the one my mother had was a Bissell and she had it for years.

@Noel7 -The Fuller sweeper looks like a smaller version of the one my mother had. Can't wait to get it!

I'm right handed. Broke a finger on my right hand a year ago August. It never healed.

Damaged my right arm last June. Unbelievable! I am not a clumsy person, or I didn't used to be, LOL.

Using the Sharke vacuum yesterday was the last straw. We have it down to the lowest setting and it still hurts to push.

OK, thank you @SilleeMee! I could be talked into a battery one, though. I'll have to see what DH comes up with in his research
