Quickies Suck

Yes, you read that right. I'm not talking dirty here, though, I'm talking clean. Well, it's supposed to be clean. It's impossible, though. I'm usually a Libman kind of girl, but Safeway doesn't carry Libman brooms and I wanted a new broom right away. My “old” Libman is visiting Amityville and there were crumbs on my kitchen floor. You know it's bad when you think of wearing shoes before you've even made the coffee. So I got this blue broom, with a matching dustpan. Its called a “quickie” And it's the stupidest dustpan I've ever seen. It completely violates the entire purpose of using a dustpan. Whoever designed this dustpan has some serious mental issues, or maybe they live in an anti-gravity zone or something. I've never been so offended by stupidity. OK, that's an exaggeration but really, I am annoyed. I'll try to remember to post a picture with this, so you can look at the angle of the tip of the dustpan. You have to sweep uphill about an inch or so, at an almost 90 degree angle. WTF? Who invented this? Sure, it snaps onto the handle nicely, but whatever. It's a piece of garbage. AVOID buying the blue and grey Quickie broom pictured here, it will only cause you grief. Not only does the dustpan suck, but there isn't as much strength to the bristles as the Libman has, it's like sweeping with a feather duster. Cleaning sucks enough, and this broom and dustpan manages to make it worse.
