OXO Large Upright Sweep Set, Off-white, 8.5" - 12"

This is an outstanding broom set. The head is firmly attached so no swiveling or tightening needed. The bristles are superb because they have a feathery coating on the lower part of the bristle, which snags hair and dust more efficiently. It is more money, but much better quality. I bought this several years ago and it is still going strong. Sweeps well and dust goes into the pan well. Broom attaches to pan and stands up well. The broom handle is telescoping. Does not have to have additional poles to add on. I bought a cheaper version of another brand and was disappointed. I now have two of these OXO brooms. One upstairs and one downstairs. Love them!

This is the best sweeper! Stands up or has a round top to hang in your utility closet/room. Washes easily. Handle is long enough and adjustable. I can get under cabinets and appliances with the broom. Highly recommended.

Excellent light grey color and silver-aluminum works well in the kitchen, and made this purchase viable given the unusable colors of hi-viz yellow, safety orange, red, or black brooms so many offer. The orange trim details are tolerable but I'd rather see OXO offer this with a similarly subtle blue or green trim. Excellent build quality and function--when it arrives, you should check that the dustpan's edge is straight and flat as reviews show there have been wavy-edged dustpans delivered. Mine was straight and proper so maybe OXO has worked this out better. In general I find OXO to be the high quality leader in small kitchen tools. I seldom prefer OXO's electrical appliances, but they're the best for kitchen tools like drainboards, brooms, tools. This OXO broom/dustpan is no exception in that the aluminum shafts have top quality finish with good handle and fixture details; the broom is full and feathered and easy to use with a smaller size that is perfect for the one-handed use I have for it. The broom / dustpan combination is a pleasure to use and actually makes me want to do the little chores this is for. check the labels for how to tighten the adjustable shaft at your desired length, but be patient if it doesn't tighten right away. At first I thought mine wouldn't tighten and would need to be returned but as I worked with it I found the threads engaged and it tightened solidly. I use its shortest setting which is perfect. I was looking for a mid-sized / shorter broom that was easy to use one-handed with a dustpan held by the other hand. I'm 5'11" so not in need of a short broom generally, but sweeping one-handed with a full height broom doesn't work for me. The smaller broom fits easily into the dustpan for storage without harming bristles; the dustpan clicks to stay open as you move from small mess to mess sweeping with one hand into the dustpan held with the other hand for the most efficient quickest cleanup use; then the two shafts click together for the easiest storage in a narrow space while the excellent colors mean it can be stored visibly and not have to be hidden in a closet. Really it's perfect.

This work well and longer

I was somewhat hesitant to spend $30 on a broom and shovel. Despite my misgivings, I really needed a good sweep set because all the ones I had been buying were always bad in some way: Either the brooms were too short and I got a backache using it, or the dustpan wasn't level with the floor and debris slid underneath it. However, seeing as this was made by Oxo (I'm a huge fan of their kitchen gadgets) I figured I'd just take the plunge. It was a great decision. I love this set! The broom has an extendable handle, which is great because I'm tall. No, the extended handle isn't terribly thick or sturdy, but it doesn't really need to be to serve its purpose. The best part of this set is the dustpan, which not only is nice, large and level with the ground, but the top comb to clean the broom is ingenious! If I only have one gripe, it's that I wish the comb had denser, closer together bristles. I think it would help get the dust bunnies out even more. That aside, however, this is exactly the kind of set I've been needing and I found it worth the extra money.

I'm so disappointed in this! I got them because I only have one hook to hang these and I thought I could put them both together and have a spot for my mop where my old dustpan used to hang. I extended out the broom handle and hung the dustpan from it and hung it up. It immediately fell off onto the floor! The dustpan doesn't fit on the broom handle other than in one area and even there it won't stay on. I had to hang this up strangely just so it would stay up off the floor. I thought buying OXO brand would be good quality but this design sucks.

I watched the videos about this set before purchasing and that helped me decide to buy the OXO set. It is easy to use, stand on its own for storage and I like having the option of lengthening the handle on the broom. I also like not having to bend down to sweep debris into the pan. It is a little bit heavy that attests to how well made it is and should last. It is easy to empty the pan contents into the wastebasket and easy also to wipe the pan out to keep it clean. The "comb" that helps remove debris from the brush is very useful.

I like how easy to store n sweep.

Estoy muy contenta con mi compra, esta escoba me ha facilitado mucho el trabajo, es ligera, fácil de manejar, entra en cualquier rincón y arrastra muy bien la basura. No se le adhieren los pelos tanto como a mi antigua escoba que era más gruesa. El recogedor también es muy práctico, no se voltea, se aplana bien sobre el piso para poder recoger todo el polvo. La escoba se mete en el recogedor para guardarlos y ocupan muy poco espacio. Ambos artículos se ven de buena calidad y resistentes. Son caros, pero valen la pena.

Very dense broom and makes it easy to sweep. The pan is perfect with the silicone tip so that it collects everything you sweep up. And for hairs the bristles clear them without you having to pull. There are many look allies but I suggest you the original Oxo

Very happy to have decided to purchase this item. I love OXO products!

We bought this broom because our cat kept attacking the normal broom - both while we were using it and when we put it away (but not locked up). He started chewing and swallowing the bristles of the old broom when it was not being used. So, I was hoping this broom would make it easier to sweep up messes while being chased and attacked by the cat and that the dust pan would protect the bristles (and our cat's stomach) from his gnawing. I am happy to report that not only is it easier to sweep dirt into the dust pan while he is attacking -- it's easier to sweep dirt into the dust pan period. The dust pan lip sits perfectly flush with the floor and the dirt just glides right in on the first try. The way the dust pan encases the broom while not in use is successfully keeping his prying teeth off the bristles - as long as we make sure that the broom is completely inside the dust pan. He may figure out how to remove the broom from the dust pan pole, so we may have to go back to storing our broom in the closet, but that's just life with cats.
