I bought this.
Yes, not a vacuum, but still a floor-care product. My Mom is 94 years old with a little bit of dementia, and beginning to get Alzheimer's disease, making t difficult for her to use an upright vacuum, which she insists on doing weekly. She can't remember about the pedal that lowers the upright from locked into operating position, she tries pushing it around when it is upright and locked. So I bought this to satisfy her need for cleaning, and I'll do the vacuuming on the weekends.

Hey, if that little sweeper is getting her up and keeping her moving around at her age, that's fantastic. My dad is 82 and his movement is becoming very impaired because he doesn't move around much. His doctor says his main problem in this area is 'de-conditioning'. But at his age, you can't convince him of anything.

I saw the nicest turquoise Bissel manual carpet sweeper in a resale shop in very fine condition. You know, they are library quiet, and in a restaurant, a vacuum that exhausts dirty air is prohibited to be used by law while they are open for service. | ||

 Nothing wrong with that Rohmell! I have a couple of sweepers and they are great for quick "tidy ups".
I suffer from a bad knee which means that pushing a heavy vacuum is sometimes too painful, and also having severe migraines on a regular basis I frequently have headaches which prevent me from doing anything involving loud noises, such as a vacuum's motor! For those times a wee manual sweeper is perfect for stopping the carpets getting too dirty until I am well enough to get the Hoovers out! | ||

I think Jeff was only making a cute joke, no? The waamulance is a new one for me. I usually slide my thumb across my index finger like a violin. Se' fe' na' Not sure if that's the correct spelling, but it's Sicilian. | ||

Did no one latch on to the obvious sarcasm in the title? Or is everyone pretending to be serious,if its the former then guy,think of it this way: It really makes sense a site bans you because you bought a ,not so well received, product.isnt that a denial of freedom of expression/speech? If this the latter then ignore my post.
Sorry if it came out kind of rude. -Adam | ||

I think what you did was great!!! I've lost a few relatives to Alzhiemers. It's a very sad stage!! Feel blessed that at 94 she is able to be up, around and pushing any kind of sweeper!! Two of my grandparents were in a nursing home for their last years. In their final months, they did not recognize myself nor even my parents, with my dad being their son!! Very very sad at that point in life.
Anything that you can do to keep her happy, motivated, moving around and MOST IMPORTANT staying safe is all that matters. I stress the staying safe because at that age my beloved late grandfather who served in the forces, was a Fire Chief and also a renowned physician for many years, started doing extremely peculiar and unsafe things at home and in the kitchen. That's what made my parents realize that they needed more care than just in-home nurses. God bless and great idea on the carpet sweeper!! At this point if it's safe and she enjoys it, let her do it! | ||

I knew it was scarcasm I am the king of sarcasm. Well that is when I'm not being facetious.
It's just someone's time of the month. They are all bloated and not feeling pretty. Things will be better in about five days.
