One problem with the SS is when full.  If you lift the SS to move/dump, the debris that's picked up falls out all over.

This was illustrated beautifully by one of the panelists on the View: Joy, a sweetheart with a lovely sense of humor.  She picked up cheerios with the SS and then lifted the SS off the floor.  Cheerios fell out all over her clean floor.

I've been known to make fun of vacuum manufacturers who choose to be innovative lazy.... and there's plenty of them.

Hardsell,

I have one, but never used it much.  I uses 4 AA rechargeable batteries, it is no powerhouse.  It has no wheels so it’s omni directional.  It comes with a sewing seam (thread) ripper, you will need this to remove much dog hair that gets wrapped into the brushes.  I should mention, I have not used other sweepers.        DIB

Consumer Reports in October 2008 rates the Swivel Sweeper at $35 a CR Best Buy for sweeper/broom vacuums.
