The Dirt Devil Broom Vac is cordless and sweeps and vacuums in one step. To start, push the foot switch, located on top of the dirt canister, with the tip of your toe. The dirt or dry spill goes directly into the canister so there is no need for a dustpan. The canister easily snaps off with the push of a button, located on the side. Remove the filter inside the canister to empty the debris. The canister does not have to be emptied after each spill; however, users should not let debris collect over the enclosed filter. Debris is filtered through a replaceable filter, eliminating problems with clogging the device.

To recharge the Broom Vac plug in the adaptor. Measuring 21 by 13 by 4 inches and weighing three and a half pounds, it is still light enough for most users.

This Broom Vac is designed for dry messes on hard floor surfaces: wood, linoleum, marble and tile. However, the Broom Vac is NOT designed to pick up wet messes and should not be used in that manner.

 

Priced at $49.99 the Broom Vac is both a good value and a tool you may use quite often.
