SPARTA Duo-Pan Upright Dust Pan and Broom Set, Essential Cleaning Tools for Home and Commercial Use, 36" Handle, 1 Count, Black

Very sturdy and handy when sweeping up grass clippings.

I love this broom & dustpan. When you sweep dust in the pan it leaves no dirt or dust line. The handle for the dustpan has a sturdy catch that will keep it upright and a clip that the dust broom can snap into. There is also a serrated edge on the top of the dustpan that allows you to scrape the broom clean as well.The quality is great and well made. I really don't understand a lot of the negative comments???!!!Too Short? The title and description plainly states it is 3 feet....that is the readers fault...not the broom nor the dustpan.Too Heavy? It is a great quality product. Would you rather have a lightweight plastic that might break during use?No Instructions Included? If you need instructions to put this together.....well I won't say what I am thinking....but I will say......It's not rocket science people!Just because you did not read the description correctly, why do you blame it on the broom and dustpan? That is not a fair review for the product.For the quality and price......you cannot beat it.Guess it all goes back to the old saying "She/He Wouldn't Be Happy If You Hung Them With A New Rope"!! ;-)

~~~~~To see how I solved the splayed bristles issue read my UPDATEI wish I would've discovered this item years ago.I've been using this set daily for over a year now. It makes cleaning the floor so much easier. I'm always surprised at how much stuff gets tracked into our kitchen, and stuff gets dropped. It seems like there's always something to clean up. The broom works on the kitchen rug too.I hated, well, hate is a strong word, I really disliked having to lean down with a dustpan in one hand & a broom in the other to clean the floor. Because I intensely disliked the process, I'd pretend I didn't see the mess & clean it up the next day...unless it was too bad then I'd clean it up immediately.Ever since I bought this set, I clean every mess immediately.The set isn't perfect.~~~It is short, but I am used to it now. Dustpan w/handle stands 35" when sweeping in to it. Broom is 36" tall.~~~The broom thingamajigs splay out. They were splayed a little until I decided to clean under the stove...a tight squeeze which splayed out more of the thingamajigs...bristles, I'll call them bristles. I'm thinking about cutting some of the bad ones off.UPDATE: Instead of cutting off the splayed bristles, I tightly wrapped painter's tape around the top of the bristles & solved the problem. The broom still sweeps great & the splayed bristles are now held down & not a problem. If you try this, you'll probably need to use enough tape so that it will stick to itself. -- 2nd Update: the painter's tape isn't sticking very good so I'll try something else, maybe a different type of tape, or a shoestring tied tightly or a wide ribbon.~~~The dustpan is designed so the handle will connect to the dustpan to stand on its own. No need to hold the dustpan while sweeping up the dirt. This is a nice feature, but works so well that when the handle gets close enough it will connect. To disconnect, I put my foot on the dustpan & pull the handle free.I like~~~that I can store the broom with the pan~~~the pan pivots~~~The pan holds a lot! It's huge. I can even sweep up large items if I want...or I can pick them up. The dirt bin is about 4" deep x almost 7" tall x 11 1/2" wide.~~~I don't have to bend over to use a dustpan.~~~My floor is cleaner because I like using this set~~~It's easy to empty.~~~Both items can be hung.~~~The dustpan will stand on its own.There are several complaints about the broom. You can buy the dustpan separate if you want.Carlisle 36141003 Duo-Pan Plastic Lobby Pan with Metal Handle, 36" Overall LengthCarlisle 36141003-1 Pivoting Upright Lobby Dustpan with Metal Handle, 30" Length, Black

Can't believe it took me so long to order one of these. House cleaning is hard on my back and knees, and this dust pan almost makes sweeping the floors a pleasure. A big concern with dust pans is that many leave a line of dust that doesn't go easily into the pan. This one does not do that- it accepts all the dust with one or two passes. I don't care for the small broom that comes with it- too short, too heavy and the bristles are too stiff. I just use my regular broom and it works perfectly with the pan. The pan stays upright in locked position, and snaps closed for storage. The screw in handle has a tendancy to swivel when you go to dump the pan, but that's a minor aggravation. Could glue it in place if it becomes an issue. The pan is enclosed, which prevents hairballs from wafting away enroute to the trash bin, and you can sweep an entire house and only have to empty the pan once when finished. I'm very pleased with this product.
