Kärcher Walk Behind Outdoor Push Sweeper S 4 Twin for Workshops, Warehouses or Garages - 5X Faster Than a Push Broom, 5.25 Gallon Capacity, 26.8" Sweeping Width

I purchased this for the 4th of July event cleanup after manually completing this task for the past several years. Previously, we would have a group of volunteers, armed with push brooms, leaf blowers, etc. The task would take quite some time and involve a bit of sweat. This year, I saw this product and thought with this year's 4th of July event being planned larger than previous years, I would try something else for a change. I am sure happy I did. I'll tell you, after the event had concluded, and the volunteers has amassed, broom sticks and power tools in hand, I stepped up with my bright shiny new "Street sweeper" as everyone called it, and asked the group to watch and see how this will do. I took off across the fireworks debris area in a straight line, focusing in front of me, being led by a flashlight from one of the volunteers and when arriving at the distant end, turned to see the flashlight shine across the path I just walked and saw that the path was unbelievable clear. I was sure it would pick up some stuff and had anticipated needing several passes due to the sheer amount of debris, from motor shell cubes to large pieces of paper from large show cakes. The fine debris, the fireworks granuals that cover the ground after a large show, falls to the ground was swept up, again to my amazement. I looked at the group of volunteers, who at this time had ALL laid their tools and brooms into the ground and lined up to "Take turns" pushing this across the debris field. We were amazed at the ability to grab small papers and plastic from 10 large confetti blasters (That filled the bin about 4 times by itself, lol). Just amazed, not only at the performance, but also that days later, I am receiving calls from volunteers, asking about the street sweeper and where to get one. Not sure if this ended up being the star of the show, or the fireworks, but safe to say it's a close tie. Very happy with the performance and by the way, we finished the cleanup in apx 20 minutes, with minimal effort as compared to earlier years, without this very cool street sweeper. The following day, I had several comments about how the cleanup thus year had cleaned far more debris than previous years.

I was quite dubious that I would find anything to do what I needed to get done. Within an hour of getting the box, I had it set up, put together and FINISHED the tasks I needed to get done. It cleaned my driveway,my newly cleared sidewalks and the edges around my patio and driveway. It would have taken me several hours to do all of that pushing a broom and I didn't have to set up a blower!!! Clean,tidy and easy. Had to work out a couple of techniques but even that was easy. As I finished I ran it through my garage and even that looks better than usual! What would be really awesome is if it had some interchangeable brushes that were a bit stiffer. But no complaints. Solves a problem at a very reasonable cost.

I used this to sweep up a 20k square foot facility that was half carpet and half paved flooring. There was a lot of junk on the carpet like paper punch circles, small trash, push pins and a million paperclips. The front has the rotating sweeping discs that extend beyond the edges of the machine, the rear has a narrower pickup that resembles a reel mower. They work great together, unfortunately by design it doesn't do awesome at the wall edges. It picked up most small and light debris from the carpet but left behind heavier items like nuts, bolts, washers and coins. it picked up the punched paper circles and paper clips really well. small sheetrock screws were picked up but took a couple to a few passes. Saw dust was picked up nicely from the carpet (low tight commercial office type carpet) but took a few passes. This machine was way faster than a shop vac and easier to use than a standard vacuum or a shop vac. On pavement it did really well on basic dirt, dust, small items, but suffered on nuts, bolts, washers an coins just like it did on carpet. Overall a great effort and time saver, though it's not perfect. I'd buy it again.

I use this for sweeping up my large car park and have found it the best purchase bye far this year. I don’t need to plug it in and it picks up stones, twigs and stones easy.

Excelente compra, muy fácil de usar y muy liviano, muy efectivo, muy compacto a la hora de guardar. Excelente para barrer hojas y acícula de pinos que es casi imposible con otros medios. El polvo y la arena lo remueve con mucha facilidad.

I work in a warehouse, doors opening and closing, vehicles in and out year round, so the dust, grit, and debris can get out of hand very quick. A section of the floor is very rough, badly pockmarked, that using a broom without a sweeping compound you’re in a dust bowl and with compound an absolute slog pushing it across and out of all the holes. I’d spent quite a bit of time looking for just about anything to help that I eventually ended up here. Needless to say, I bought it instantly. Personally, I’d never seen a sweeper like this before. No power, manually operated, just push it like a lawnmower. I was pretty excited to try it and see how it would do in this environment. Now I bought it knowing it says “Not For Commercial Use” “Residential Use Only”, but at this price point, I wanted to give it a shot. Unboxing and assembly is straight forward, there aren’t a lot of pieces to have to worry about. It works best in long lines, smooth curves, and soft corners. Sharp turns you’ll see that it leaves some stuff behind, but you can just straighten out and run over the pile what was left. I pushed it all over the warehouse, and I was actually shocked at the ease with which it picked everything up. If you haven’t seen or used one before, it’s like you’re walking PAC-MAN. The two front brushes lay well into the ground, not just lightly skimming the surface. And they do a great job at kicking debris into its path and the spiraled brush underneath scoops it into the hopper. It picked up decent sized wood chips, wood splinters, nuts, bolts, screws, cardboard, leaves, easily. And it does a better than expected job on very fine dust. Going up and down the aisles was great because the brushes get right under the shelves and in just 2 passes each aisles is done. Now I can’t think of any cons really, except that this is for a very specific type of task, and it’s something you’ve either wished you had or it’s not even a thought. Having used it around a warehouse, we are still going to be sweeping with compound, however, it’ll be done a lot less often. Using this at a home, on sidewalks, walkways or storefronts to pick up leaves, dirt, sand, etc would certainly make the job far more easier if that’s something you were looking for.

Estoy contentísima con esta barredora, ahora no toco la escoba.

Nul pour le prix, parties qui se déboitent ou se cassent, à fuir!
