Casabella Wayclean Wide Angle Broom, Gray, Angled Head with Densely Packed Bristles, Perfect for Kitchen RV Camper and Home Cleaning

I have used the same brand broom for 55 years, but the stores in town were sold out with the pandemic and no way to get new stock. When I saw this broom I thought now that looks like a good sturdy broom, I have never had a broom break before, just had them wear out. After just 2 months of using it once a week on my kitchen doorway ( I vacuum my kitchen ) the bottom broke right off, now that is what I call a true piece of junk merchandise. So my friends, do yourself a favor and pass this item right on by, and buy a brand you have had good luck with in the past. This is just a piece of poorly manufactured crap.

Bought this broom after "best of ..." research and reviews on google. I have multiple surfaces from delicate Italian porcelain to polished concrete and saw-cut Mexican stone. It is impossible to find a broom head that doesn't scratch, actually sweeps and collects dust and hair. The "split ends" of the bristles are fantastic. The bristles are not to hard and not to soft. Yes the head will unscrew from the pole. However, the broom sweeps so well with no effort that with less pressure the head stays on just fine for me. I'm purchasing another one!

I read the big review online, (interestingly by "Wired") and wanted to get my wife the best broom ever. (we have 3 kids. It makes $20 (actually it was $15) seem an ok budget for a broom...used often twice per day, on demanding targets like rice and pasta and construction sand)Pro:-The bristles ARE tight and soft and wonderful. I sweep fewer strokes because it catches just everything. Very fine stuff, big stuff, sand and rocks and crumbs in the same sweep. They are supple and even make for a pleasant sweeping sensation. Great bristles. And bristles are almost everything.-The broom sweeps wet spots just fine, dries quick, keeps sweeping.-Rubber foam handle is cool. But it moves. Which is good (can reposition), and bad (now at bottom of broom...). Ah...this is a con, isn't it?Cons:-the bristles are a bit flimsy, they DO flip debris a bit - but you get used to handling it so it's not a problem. You can even use the flip action to shoot dirt where you want it.-the bristles DO take a bend/shape when sitting in the closet. It comes out with use though - don't let someone scare you that they have no 'memory,' they do. Maybe if you left it for months...?-The broom now has a hard plastic circle on top to hang it, not the green loop. Don't care for it, don't use it. It does not seem to rotate. It's not ergonomic either, too small (Libman has a rounded top with a hole in it and texturing. bad for hanging, great for sweeping. We don't hang it)-I wish the the broom head was wider. Not a biggee, I don't think it's slowed me down.-It's SHORT! Probably not a problem for most. I'm 6'2", and it's fine...but why a short broom? It bothers me occasionally.Big cons:-Ok, seriously, what. A broom that breaks down into 3 pieces. WHY?!? Can someone please reply with how much it has blessed them to be able to make 2 foot broom pieces that reassemble at the job site?! I WANTED to like it. I WANTED to love this broom. I DO think the people who say "I can't screw it together, no matter what I try!" are just doing it wrong. Getting the broom head on was hard. Screwing together was...not really hard, but took some doing. But one joint comes loose every time and I have to retighten. And the other join is frozen stiff. I have never lost an "unscrew the cap" contest, I can twist with might. I tried so hard yesterday, I whimpered after my hand flesh returned to it's place. It's stuck. HOW IS THIS A GOOD DESIGN FEATURE? (it allows for easy shipping. it's not for your benefit!)I had thought about taking out the middle section and letting the kids use the 'special' broom in their own height. Aw, cute. Can't.-The money. Worth it for great bristles? Not for me. I do not feel like I am using a $20 broom when I use this, and that's the key. Over spent. Decided to keep it an not return. I'm not bitter, I'm not sad - it's a good, shortish broom with character (ie. joints). But I'm also not recommending it.(update, it's actually a $15 for me. And... Meh)If you are short (too short for my wife of average height) and really want that silky bristle feel, and have a strong hand to get the head on the handle, and maybe some super glue for the connections (unless you want to disassemble....in which case I need you to explain this to me, and I need to explain that it will not be reliable) - then this is the broom for you. If you have $15 in your broom budget.I also got the oxo dust pan recommended in the review: it grips the broom well, not very soundly though - comes off with quick change of motion. It picks things up, the rubber edge isn't a miracle and ALWAYS requires several extra sweeps to get it all, and the raised lip inside is a bit short and carrying capacity is very low. for $15, I am not mad but the rubber and plastic better hold up for 10 years.please click helpful if this wasUpdate:LOVE the bristles. Holding up great.Wish is was wider.Handle becomes loose OFTEN (like, 3 times per sweeping!!)Rubber foam handle is useless can't move it by hand, won't stay in place.OXO dust pail doesn't hold on very well. Not an amazing fit. Not really an amazing pail...I finally got it apart - actually, it just happened by itself. So I shortened it for my Littles - once. ;)

Perfect broom for us. Bought three in total. Heard about it from NYTimes Wirecutter section who rated it as a top one in a particular category. Solid, easy to assemble in a few seconds. Have one for cats, one for outside walkway, and one for inside. Just good quality, easy to get in corners; low price is not indicative of low quality. We bought 2 more after the first so that says something. I try to find the best quality one in each category, like anyone else, and this was it for my household.

I bought this broom to replace an old one for two reasons: 1) the old one had reached the end of its life and the bristles were all stuck limiting its functionality and 2) the handle on the old one twisted while being used. This broom is great - it is easy to use, sweeps very well. However, it has the same twisting problem as my old one. It assembles easily by just twisting the pices of the handle together. Those spots get loose very quickly and twist during use. It's really just an inconvenience, but it bothers me, even if it might not bother others!

CasaBella used to make quality durable products that were great and lasted. When my CasabBella broom of 18 years finally gave out, I of course didn't think twice to replace it with another CasaBella broom. This new CasaBella is terrible. The main issue with the broom is that the manufacturer seemed to have been more concerned with making a broom that would ship in a small a box as possible. Thus the broom has to be assembled by means of screwing three sections of the broom handle into place. This very feature is the broom's problem. As one sweeps, the broom handle loosens up in the different sections where they were assembled and need to be constantly screwed back in place and tightened. A locking screw would help the design, but obviously CasaBella designers overlooked such a feature. For those who enjoy sweeping and want a quality broom, this is NOT THE BROOM to buy :( UPDATE:After a frustrating 4 years it snapped an broke! My previous casabella lasted 18yrs!!!! I only replaced it because the bristl s were way won

Very good sweeper. Green color is cute.

Very good broom that does a great job in sweeping up fine, loose dirt. Ergonomic design is intuitive to use.
