Many may well have been sold but that doesn't necessarily mean thats a good thing. The G2 has a lockable handle spine that allows the owner to put it at a 180 degree angle, therefore not really needing to bend down to get the sweeper part under low furniture. It also has a clip attached that allows the floor head to snap up and lock to the main handle when storing between cupboards or in tight areas. Although these are handy additives to the original formula and a new improved one touch bin that swings open instead of the old one coming away from the top part of the sweeper, the whole idea is made of really lightweight plastic and thus they're not really long lasting.


Unless you're the maker/seller.  These devices are literally everywhere I turn these days.  Even the local CVS and Walgreens, two pharmacies et al in the USA, which don't normally stock/sell such.  I see people buying/gifting these quite often.  Of all things, the local CVS actually uses one in the store.  And the staff luv it.

I am sure they will replace a lot of Orecks in businesses.  Better cleaning at about 10% the cost of the Oreck.

Shark™ 2-Speed Cordless Sweeper

    
Shark 2-Speed Cordless Sweeper
Hello HS:
I suggest the Shark 2 speed cordless sweeper with 30 minute charge. However, it retails in the $49-$59 price substantially more than the SS.  Comparable to a lightweight corded and/or cordless for quick pick ups.

Oh dear Carmine, please dont be fooled that just because something that sells in droves is necessarily better. Let me think of one of the world's smallest cars in the States in the late 1980s that sold well but wasn't really that good. Infact the U.S market became the biggest country who bought into the NASTY YUGO salesdrive until it all went pear shaped. Another example.. well one could argue early model Dysons... The SS in the UK does have some compeitition from other Chinese made offerings, particularly a triangular copy. The difference with the Shark one shown on here (incidentally that sells under the GTECH label here who are known Chinese operative co-independent manufacturers) is that it doesn't have uniform 360 degree brushes corner to corner. The Shark may well have a hand design handy for stair cleaning but it can't be swivelled around like an SS. We have another GTECH model with a duster attached and other models with higher battery power.

No misunderstanding/misconceptions on my part about product popularity versus performance.  Just an observation.  I recall too well the Regina Electrik broom.  A drug on the market that sold very well for years and years.  Then, too I know the Royal/Dirt Devil handcleaners sell millions upon millions and performance is praiseworthy.

Good suggestion except the HOOVER Slider won out several years ago at $25 new retail and is still going strong for the grand daughters.
