Bissell Commercial BG9100NM

  • Large dustbin

In the cleaning world, electric sweepers combine the simplicity of a dustpan and broom with the convenience of a cordless vacuum. They’re ideal for spot-cleaning problem areas in your home to remove dirt and debris in tough to reach areas. Based on our research, pet owners will also find that electric brooms can deal with the stray tufts of pet hair.

However, if you want to get the most out of your electric sweeper, you’ll need to understand the limitations. Cordless electric brooms cost way less than cordless stick vacuums because they have significantly less suction power, weaker battery life, and typically have small dirt receptacles.

With that in mind, the products in this roundup are meant to be a companion cleaner. You’ll get the most satisfaction out of an electric sweeper when you think of it as a touch-up tool for daily messes, while your more traditional vacuum is reserved for the weekly deep clean.

While we’ve spent years testing the best vacuum cleaners, the products in this particular guide were chosen based on research into the specifications and user reviews for each model.

Editor's Note:
The recommendations in this guide are based on thorough product and market research by our team of expert product reviewers. The picks are based on examining user reviews, product specifications, and, in some limited cases, our experience with the specific products named.

  • Dirt Cup Capacity: 480 mL

When it comes to floor cleaners in America, Bissell tops a lot of lists for affordable and high-performing models. The Bissell Perfect Sweep Turbo 28806 is no different. Users love how easy it is to tackle small messes with the Perfect Sweep. Its lightweight, flexible design makes it easy to maneuver , and the joint in the bottom of the handle lets you reach under furniture.

Consumers have complained about the longevity of the nickel battery, but you can mitigate such issues by fully discharging the battery before recharging.

Pros

  • Lightweight

  • Easy to push

Cons

  • Long charge time

  • Difficult cleaning corners

  • Battery Life: 30 minutes

Karcher makes some of our favorite floor cleaners. The German company’s KB5 electric sweeper keeps up the tradition by being a well-regarded electric sweeper. Consumers like the fact that all you need to do is pull back on the handle and the motor starts; no need to fumble looking for a power switch. This model also has a powerful lithium-ion battery, which provides no-fade performance.

There are some complaints online that the KB5 is difficult to assemble. However, once the unit got going, users were delighted by the fact that they could easily clean various types of floors, including hardwood floors as well as low-pile carpets. Best of all, Karcher engineered the universal brush roll to deal with everything from long hair to crushed cereal.

Pros

  • Lightweight

  • Good battery life

Cons

  • Difficult assembly

  • Battery Life: 50 minutes

  • Weight: 2 lbs

One of the major advantages of a floor sweeper is how the svelte design allows them to slip under furniture. The Black+Decker Floor Sweeper is one of the most flexible floor cleaners we’ve ever encountered. It requires only four inches of clearance to clean. With its 360-degree cleaning head, maneuvering around furniture legs is a breeze.

Users liked the fact that you can empty it straight into a trash can, and how the unit turns on a dime. However, we also found reports of electrical issues, so your mileage may vary. If you do have issues, Black+Decker backs this sweeper with a two-year warranty.

Pros

  • Swivel head

  • Lightweight

Cons

  • Can scratch wood

  • Battery Life: 55 minutes
  • Dust Cup Capacity: 1.8 Quart
  • Weight: 7 lbs

We love a few Shark vacuums that we’ve tested, but the company also makes an electric sweeper. The backsaver wand is what sets this product apart from the rest of the pack. While most sweepers have a joint near the brush head, this Shark also has one halfway down the handle, allowing you to stay upright while cleaning under furniture.

The Shark Sweeper has a squeegee, as well, for scraping clean the edges of the room. However, some users felt the extra joint made the handle more flimsy. We think if you keep the Shark Sweeper for light duty only, you’ll do all right.

Pros

  • Edge cleaning

  • No-touch dust cup

  • Backsaver wand

Cons

  • Short battery life

Bissell Commercial BG9100NM
  • Battery Life: 90 minutes
  • Dirt Cup Capacity: 17 ounces
  • Weight: 3.9 lbs

The Bissell Commercial BG9100NM lets you take home the tools of a professional cleaner. The BG9100NM comes with a larger dust cup than most traditional sweepers. When you combine that with an even longer battery life than your average electric broom, you get enough cleaning prowess to spot-clean your entire floor plan.

That being said, professional cleaning tools usually require professional maintenance. This Bissell cleaner uses a belt-driven, powerful motor (similar to an upright vacuum), rather than a direct motor that other cordless electric sweepers feature. While the belt is designed to be no-slip, it may not be ideal for someone who just wants a simple tool for spot cleaning.

Pros

  • Large dustbin

  • Easy to push

Cons

  • Belt-driven motor
