This comment should have been headed with a spoiler alert. As loyal followers know, one can never tell from James reactions, until the very end, how he feels about a product. Seriously, the “Oh,man. This thing…….”, could mean anything!😏😉As I noted in my comment; when that piece of cracker, shot ten feet out the front of that thing, I lost it! 😂
I would rather go to the Dollar Tree and get a mop handle and some of the various heads that they sell to go along with it to help clean your floors. I don't think they have anything with brushes on the bottom but they have broom heads. And it's a $1 25 for each
If you have to go over a mess several times to get all of the crumbs, that would drive me batty!!! If it is tipped over the stuff that was just vacuumed up, and it falls out, is definitely a fail!!! The design is for this vacuum is a big fail!!! Thanks for the video, James, at least you tried to make it work!
it shooting the mess everywhere is bad design but im pretty sure that front brush is suppose to knock the things away from the wall and corner so it can actually get to it.
Yep i had an electric carpet sweeper, with rotating brushes. It worked well cos it had a vacuum and decent motor with a cord to the wall. Anything battery is not going to have grunt, and sooner or later the batts die. Recycled if ya lucky. I dont know bout the U.S. but our recycle dumps are all having mysterious fires. India too.
I got tired of vacuums quit working so I bought an off brand wet dry ShopVac type (5gal) at Walmart about 6 years ago. Got an attachment for rug/carpet on Amazon, (it did come with some attachments). That thing vacuums so well, never fails, always great suction. The bags for it a bit pricey, tho $17 for 3 but they hold a lot. Light enough to carry around too!
I have a similar kind and I think the problem is they do not have suction, The belt broke on my real vacuum so I used the sweeper for the week and when I got the real vacuum working and went over the carpet it sucked up all the crumbs and dirt that was still sitting in the fibers, I filled the canaster in 1 go around the floor, I do have 2 cats who play out in the back yard so they bring in lots of fine dirt. So when you spilled the sweeper on your carpet im sure it pushed a lot into the carpet, I use mine for a 10 min fast tide up when someone calls and say's im getting coffee and on my way over lol I also have the robot vac but the problem with that thing is I have to clean up the cat toys and shoe laces and phone chargers and close the bathroom door because these is a 1 inch drop so when it goes in it can't get out and I have to close the basement door and bedroom doors, So while it works good I find my self using the broom more than any thing.
I used to watch your videos a lot, this is the first to pop up in my UA-cam feed in MONTHS! I checked, and you do upload often, and I’m subscribed and have all notifications turned on. How disappointing that the “algorithm” is hiding stuff from me that I actually want to watch…
My mom uses the swivel sweeper mainly on hard floor and loves it so much she bought me one. It’s basically the same idea but rectangular. I didn’t like it so much and just switched to a regular stick vacuum.
It reminds me of the old swivel sweeper(red model) from the early/mid 2000’s and how bad it was at cleaning. First run it did ok but after it wouldn’t hold a charge and collected more dust than picked up.
I had the same experience with the Swivel Sweeper. I liked it for quick, small messes, but after awhile, it wouldn't hold a charge. I bought a replacement battery, and even that didn't help.
Yeah, the batteries for that thing were the worst. At least with the later generations you could remove the brushes to clean them, but those original ones sucked to try and get hair off of. I would spend more time trying to cut off the hair with the attached seam ripper than I did cleaning with it.
Hi, I really appreciate you being willing to try these annoying products, so I can save my money! There's nothing Zippy about that thing 😆 other than how fast it made a mess! One last comment I promise... You seem to have a great attitude regardless and I'm guessing a lovely character to match. Thank you 😊
I had a corded stick vac from Walmart that cost under $30. It lasted for years. It worked great on bare floors, rugs and carpet. I never had to worry about it losing power. I never had to replace an expensive battery or worry about it overheating. I'm not a fan of cordless products.
I recently bought an O Cedar ProMist MAX Microfiber Spray Mop. The same concept as a Swiffer, but doesn't require constantly purchasing proprietary cleaning supplies. Doesn't appear you've reviewed this, so I'd be interested in what you make of it. I'm pretty happy so far, but it's only seen one floor cleaning to date.
For a real test of this, you should throw down a handful of glitter!🤣😈 It won't show us anything different, but the cursing when the glitter keeps showing up in future videos would be hilarious!
I'm pretty sure the point of the brush at the front is for things like corners or up against walls like how he showed in the coffee grounds. It's *supposed* to kick out the stuff so that you can actually get to it with the other parts of the vacumn. Doesn't excuse that it''s still a pretty bad product but, I just think you overlooked what that feature was for
I agree Shark makes some of the better cordless sweepers as I have two(work and home) of the smaller ones(they also make a large 12in wide version), and I can't speak for thick carpet, but they do great on low to medium pile rugs as long as they don't have really deep thick ridge like a front door rug. Plus they have never ran out of power doing my whole single story house, or building at work with the 1,000 Mah battery that's cheap as chips to replace when they finally die, as least thick cat hair has not been a problem for the unit I have at home.
I am so hesitant buying things that are powered by battery. It's more about convenience then actually doing a better job cleaning. I'd rather hold a cord up and get better cleaning then poor cleaning 😮
The shark cordless sweepers are really good for the money, and pick up way more as I have 2 (work and home) plus the replacement batteries online are cheap as dirt being the same type used in older cordless house phones, and it's 1,000Mah which means they are also easier to recycle as well.
In my opinion, this is a solution looking for the problem. I'd rather take out a stick vacuum for all of these messes and the dirt capacity would be bigger as well.
In 2012 I moved out of my parents house and my mom bought me a $10 hand vacuum. It is one of those old tan ones with the wall mount/charger from the 90s. I still have it and use it to this day, but it only lasts about 15 minutes. Despite all of that... it is still 20x better than this vacuum.
Use the horizontal spinning brush to get debris off the wall and corners. But be aware of the direction it spinning to avoid it "kicking" debris. Then use the flat end. You will get better results.
I bought the “Swivel Sweeper Touchless” 10 or so years ago. Same thing only it’s rectangular, works a little better than this one. I like it around the cat box.😎👍
Not going to get one now after this vey clear demo. Thank you for doing the video, very informative. I was about to buy one, here in Australia they charge $130 + $12 P&H No thanks!
You should do some air purifier reviews. With more and more wildfires and weather changes etc. It would be cool to see some in depth reviews etc on purifiers. They have a few channels that review them. But not very well
Thank you for the great review as always! I feel like these sweeper things have been for decades in various shapes and sizes. Remember when around 2005 swivel sweeper was all the rage?
I got mine from a garage sale. It wasn’t even for sale. I was walking around and saw it. I asked the lady how did it work for her? She said it’s okay, if that’s your thing? I said it seems cool. She said 20 bucks and it’s yours. I laughed as she was looking for the charger. Bottom line… this video is very accurate. An old fashioned broom would work better in my opinion. However! My kids thinks this invention is genius. And they fight over using it. They all want to zippi!! My HUSBAND WANTS TO ZIPPI!! Sigh… what a Godsend. ❤❤❤❤
Ive been using the same model of shark vac for years and its still my favorite sweeper. Its $30, and has a massive trash bin. You will need a vac brush cleaner or pair of scissors to get all the hair out.
Personally I love the commercial. It's guaranteed to make me laugh every time they run the thing over stuff. Because you never see if it actually picked anything up except the one where they probably dragged it along the wall. 😂
On the carpet, that thing sounded like Bumblebee when he got captured by the Feds in the first Michael Bay Transformer movie. It’s a no for me but I always enjoy your review videos!
Your expecting it to be perfect keeping it flat against the floor, but even regular vacuum and brooms have to be lifted at times. Even a regular vacuum might scatter stuff on a bare floor. Why didn't you lift it and then place it down on top of some of the stuff that was left.? I don't think it perfect, but then again, it is ok for the price.
That's about what I figured. And they want $80.00 for it on the TV ads! I wouldn't take one of these things even if they were giving them away. What I want to know is - where can I get one of those Mandelbrot posters on the wall behind him??
The look of it looks like a smart design but as soon as they built a prototype they should have cancelled any further work on it. I can't believe that actually got released.
Review summary: The Zippi sweeper makes a mess and scratches hardwood floors. It will dump out what you picked up in you move it upside down. Overall score: 1 out of 10.
That thing was aggravating me and I wasn't even using it 😂

Totally frustrating! Horrible!
Imagine prototyping that design and going "yeah, that'll do." 😂
I'm sure "that'll do" is all they were aiming for so, Great Success!!
Yes! By the time he got to the sprinkles in the corner I was arrrrrrrrgh😂.
It amazes me how the design processes work in some of these companies 🙄
"What about this whole on the bottom? Things seem to fall off of it"
"We'll call it a feature! It's so the dirt can 'breath' inside"
Usually it's not a "that'll do" but a "the investors don't care if it's not ready, you'll release it NOW"
Looks like the tried and true broom and dust pan win again. 😊
Or a vacuum cleaner, ain't no need to fiddle with this triangle on a rod.
Another great review....they save me $$ to squash the hypes on tv & see how a product REALLY works. TY Bailey for your contribution.
if this doesn't make it to the "honorable mentions" (if not on the actual list) for the worst of 2023, I would be surprised.
It's certainly in the pool of contenders thus-far!
I agree. This item looks terrible! It's a great concept that ended up being a terrible one.
Nothing beats the good old dustpan and brush.
I love all your pet hair gadget reviews!! Bailey is such a great product review helper ❤
My fav is his pet hair on his clothes lol.
We love Bailey!!! ❤
She such a good girl.🐶
This isn't a pet hair removal tool
She contributed without even knowing it. 😆
I'm glad you tested it, but it's definitely not worth $60. I wouldn't even pay $20 for it.
I'd just use a broom and dustpan looking at that mess it was making.
i would not want that even for free :D
I would rather go to the Dollar Tree and get a mop handle and some of the various heads that they sell to go along with it to help clean your floors. I don't think they have anything with brushes on the bottom but they have broom heads. And it's a $1 25 for each
$60 for this. Save a extra money and get a cordless vacuum on sale for ~100 to ~150$.
don’t tell me or anyone else how to spend their money. do you understand me?!
Or a broom. Lol. Would work better then this junk of a “sweeper”. 😂
@@Nonchillantea broom won't do much on carpet. A black and Decker cordless vacuum is under $100.

I'm glad I watched this video , before purchase. Changed my mind. 👍Thanks! For the info.
it shooting the mess everywhere is bad design but im pretty sure that front brush is suppose to knock the things away from the wall and corner so it can actually get to it.
but its kinda funny that it does it even when its not at the wall making it harder to clean.

My grandma had one of these in the 90's but it was manual. It had the roller things and youd push it around like a carpet swiffer.

I agree...the design is great, it swivels and the shape should get the edges & corners.

You have to clean after you clean 😂

Thanks for taking one for the team so to speak. You just saved me from pointlessly spending money on a sub-standard product.

Thank you for doing the video, very informative.
I was about to buy one, here in Australia they charge $130 + $12 P&H
No thanks!
Would you consider doing a video comparing vacuum mops?
No, I think I'll go with that great invention called "broom and dust pan"
Me: GD that's loud af
FR: Not too loud, that's good!
Lol...must be louder on camera.
I'd be 80 by the time I finished cleaning a room. Deng, that thing is slow. I'm happy you test this stuff before we make the poor choice of buying.
Back to the drawing board on that one.
You should do some air purifier reviews. With more and more wildfires and weather changes etc. It would be cool to see some in depth reviews etc on purifiers. They have a few channels that review them. But not very well
How do manufacturers think a product like this will work correctly? I was laughing throughout the video 😂
Thanks for showing us what not to buy.
Thank you for the great review as always! I feel like these sweeper things have been for decades in various shapes and sizes. Remember when around 2005 swivel sweeper was all the rage?

The triangle of sadness.
Have you tried Socket Fan? Something to review maybe. Sorry if you already did that one.
They should change the name to The Crappy Sweeper!
Zippi huh? Wow! They must have spent minutes thinking up that name 🤔 how original 🙄 Great video as always James Happy Sunday
Seems like an old fashioned broom would be more efficient and cheaper
You did your best to not call it a piece of junk. But face it, that's what it is.
I love this channel so many honest reviews.
I feel like a regular brush would be more efficient, much cheaper, way more eco friendly and also quiet! XD
Great review, thanks James! ❤
Looks like the old school Fuller Brush Sweeper works better. Why am I not surprised.
Please do a review of the iWoly vacuum. It really surprised me.
Imagine this guys yard sales
People tested, roach approved 😏
This is like a triangle version of the swivel sweeper
Yeah, no lol. I had a Bissell Perfect Sweep for several years and loved it. Ended up buying one for my mom and sister, too.
Ive been using the same model of shark vac for years and its still my favorite sweeper.

What a perfect gift for my enemy. Right when i thought it couldn't get worse, it did. This was hilarious, haha!!

I don't think it perfect, but then again, it is ok for the price.
The brush is designed to go along the wall to kick the dirt away from it so it can vacuum it. That's the way robot vacuum do it at least
😂😂😂😂😂Thanks for reviewing this!!!! Can you return it? That's why Amazon is great - easy returns.
Nice job Bailey girl.. ur fur helped out. ❤❤❤😊😊
Ok, scratch this off my list of possibilities.
That's about what I figured. And they want $80.00 for it on the TV ads! I wouldn't take one of these things even if they were giving them away. What I want to know is - where can I get one of those Mandelbrot posters on the wall behind him??
Thank you for your videos.
One of those ' found a factory in China that'll put my brand on a thing' products?
The look of it looks like a smart design but as soon as they built a prototype they should have cancelled any further work on it. I can't believe that actually got released.
Classic as seen on TV... even using old battery technology. No over charge protection? Top comedy.
thanks for another great review...I'll stick with my cheap, but paid for, stick vac
Thanks for doing these videos that sweeper is a piece of junk in my opinion,
I wonder if he actually posts a review on the amazon product page with detailed findings or just a link to this vid?🤔
