Swivel Sweeper?

Has anyone tried the Swivel Sweeper, just saw it on TV and it looks great? Also it looked like a good deal except for the shipping cost.

Update:

Infinity, thanks for the web sites, they were a great help the one on infoscams, has not one good thing to say about the swivel sweeper, so if anyone out there is thinking about ordering one, please think twice, I thought it was too good to be true, but I had my credit card out already to purchase one, then decided against it, thank you again, you save me money and anguish.

    I haven't tried it personally, but it's something I would like to try.

    I have heard some bad things about it, like the battery charge only lasts for about a minute and sometimes it completely dies after about three months. Here are some sites that might be useful:

    If you don't want to buy it from TV, try CVS, target, stores where they sell as seen on TV products. I've gone thru 3 so far, the first one the battery didn't get charged anymore, the second one the pole broke and the last one just went dead. The only reason why I keep buying it it's that it's lightweight, picks up really good, I usually use a large vacuum and then go over the same area with the sweeper and it still picks up hairs, and litter sand, dog food, stuff that the vacuum won't pick or that it's just crush and send flying everywhere. I also like it because the charge has lasted around 9 hours. I own a house cleaning business and it's really hard to find something that will last us thru 3 houses daily, but this ones does a good job, I just wish they built them to last, but then again, they wouldn't sell a lot of them.

    I have had mine for about 6 months and although they are made cheap they work great for hard surface floors and are great for a quick pick up after the kids eat.
