Making a clean sweep of things is always a good idea, but it isn’t always fun. Old-fashioned brooms might be fun for Wicked cosplay, but they’re not the most efficient at cleaning house. Fancy high-tech vacuums can get the job done, but often at a high price. No, what you want when it comes to getting the dust off the floors is a streamlined sweeper that gets the job done with minimum fuss (and at a great price of course).

Our pick for a sweeper that fulfills those guidelines is the Kärcher KB 5 Electric Floor Sweeper Broom, which you can get at a current discount of 38% off its original price tag. Using electric power, an efficient rollerbrush and a slick design, this sweeper is easy to use and quick to clean. Let’s run down its features and why it’s a great deal!

Kärcher KB 5 Electric Floor Sweeper Broom, $49.49 (38% off)

What stands out about the Kärcher KB 5 at first glance is its smooth look. No bulging bits of machinery, just a thin handle and a compact box containing an 8-inch brush and a debris collector. At less than three pounds, it’s easy to move around the house, and with its small footprint, it can tuck into a tight corner of your closet. Unlike standard vacuums, which use noisy suction to do their work, the KB 5 relies on its high-speed rollerbrush to snag dirt and other debris (including pet hair) from a wide range of surfaces, including hard floors, tile and low-pile carpets. Thanks to its non-suction operation, it operates at low volume, so you won’t disturb others in the same room while you’re sweeping.

Although the Kärcher KB 5’s handle appears brittle, don’t let it fool you: it’s double-jointed so it can fold in all directions, allowing you to access hard-to-reach places, such as under chairs and sofas. One charge gets you up to 30 minutes of cleaning time, so you can cover multiple rooms in a house. In our experience, the sweeper does a great job of picking up everything from small bits of dust to larger particles (such as bits of food or paper). And you don’t have to worry about getting dusty yourself when emptying out the bin: just grab the edge of the bin to remove it from the sweeper, and deposit the contents into any trash bag or basket.

Dare we say that we’ve found a sweeper that’s fun to use? That’s the case with the Kärcher KB 5 Electric Floor Sweeper Broom, and Amazon users agree. It’s proof that you don’t need to spend large to clean large this holiday season — take advantage while the sale on Amazon lasts!
