Thanks for this info. Hate using a sweeping brush and am hopeless with one. This sounds great. Will stop me having to start up vacuum cleaner.

Hi All Eleanor just saw one on the Argos site that says it will clean pet hair. The Gtech Lightweight sweeper is a flexible, robust sweeper offering total freedom around the home with no cables to limit movement. Ideal for cleaning hard floors and removing stubborn pet hairs from upholstery. It costs 75 Euro here but should be a lot cheaper in the UK. Jackie thanks for that idea as we were looking for a carpet sweeper that is easy to use and handy for quick use and this type of cleaner seems to be just the thing. Many thanks TonyOn 27 September 2012 13:12, Eleanor Burke <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hi Jackie, I agree, would not do for the dog hairs I am sure but for a quick run around every day is fine. Only 1 year guarantee actually. I must lookin to that though.

I love it because it is so lightweight and easy to push over the hard floors downstairs, and just tidying up. The tray is very easy to pull out and empty. Good to know John Lewis do it or something similar as you should get a two-year guarantee with it.

A brush is just hopeless. I am glad you say that about it being better than the carpet sweeper, that sells it for me *smile*.

Ideal for jobs like cereal spillages andbiscuit crumbs!

Ithas a rechargeable battery that purports to last approximately an hour.That might not seem a long time, but it is long enough for you to be ableto sweep the house. It picks up well, and has an easily emptied tray that pulls out. I think it costs Ł59.99, and is among the off-the-shelf bits and pieces we find really helpful.
