Does This "Magic" Broom Really Work?
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I'm testing out this "magic" broom that has been advertised heavily on social media. I'm also comparing it to the Furwell Pet Broom I reviewed in 2020. All of my tests are based on demonstrations in promotional videos circulating for products like this.

This is why we need you. I don’t understand how these products “work” so well on the TV ads, but this is the reality of how they really work. I’ve learned (the hard way) to always, ALWAYS read the reviews and check out the seller if possible. For some unknown reason, I always believe the freaking ads. One thing I’ve learned- if it’s shipping from China, don’t buy it. I KNEW that soy sauce was going to streak! So bottom line, I’ll keep my corn stalk broom, and my Swiffer wet mop.

It arrived 2 months after that - broken. Another time I didn’t get the merchandise and had to involve PayPal. Now I pay attention to where it’s shipping from - although I recently bought a new iPad. There was no going to the Apple store to get it - it had to be shipped. I ordered it in early July but didn’t get it until early September - it shipped from China! I never would have thought that!

Because a real Squeegee costs money to make, and the company is clearly to cheap to do that. I'm sure that would work better, but I still think a traditional broom is a much better idea. That design in general just doesn't work well in circumstances that aren't perfect for them. Kind of like how the cracks between the tiles messed up the whole thing. Brooms work great and don't have that problem.

True, except I did see one guy that bought an electronic item that was DOA and he received no response from the seller after weeks of repeated support requests, yet he still gave the product 3 stars! Not kidding. That's like giving a 3-star review to a mugger. I wasn't sure whether to hate or feel sorry for this buyer, so I did both, but wondered exactly what a seller would need to do to deserve less than 3 stars from them. "This toaster burned down my house and the seller kidnapped me and buried me alive after I requested a refund. 2 stars." 1-star and 5-star reviews are mostly by people that have no clue what they're talking about, so it's fine to ignore them.

Tip, when using a squeegee on windows move in a S pattern across the window, side to side from top to bottom. Much faster, more efficient and you can reach more surface area this way.

Saved me anywhere from $10 - $23. Thanks! I'll keep searching for my wool shedding sweeper - and no, I don't want to get the vacuum out every day for this.

I already have one magic broom, use it together with a mop. I pretty like it because i always do double cleaning for the floor. For me magic broom are good to pick up cat fur, hair and dusk on mozaic (i wet the broom in advance) . After that it is less burden to mop the floor because most dirts already wiped. And i prefer magic broom compared to regular because it is light. 😊😊 I believe the suitability are different for every person

I waited to watch the review and am so thankful I did. Thank you for your honest, helpful review! To the rest of you who left good review, I decided to keep my bank account in tact as it is and leave the cleaning to the old broom which has proven over and over that it can't be totally replaced yet.
No one bats an eye that he randomly had a whole bag of Bailey's fur!🤣🤣🤣
Next time on freakin’ reviews… full size window squeegees 🤣
Thanks, very handy info. 🙏👍
I bought one of the cheap versions from Amazon. I just wanted something to squeegee water from floors and other areas. Works okay for $5-$6.
My parents use the furwell (although that's not what it was called when they bought it) for cleaning their outdoor windows. They don't have close to the ground windows so it works pretty well.
Did you wipe each squeegee off in between wipes? Like you did the hand held one?
I have one similar to that one. It's handle is very short, so it kills my back. And I have a very small one room house, so there's not much floor space to sweep. It does pretty good at sweeping up cat hair, but I have tile floors, and it makes that horrible squeak sound when using it. 😖 What I was hoping to find out in this video, is whether or not it's better to wet the squeegee before sweeping, or leave it dry? I've tried both ways, but wasn't sure if I was doing it properly when wet. It left smears on the floor, so im guessing it's better dry. Was just curious to see how you used it.
Hey what do you have in your back pocket? James: BAILEY FUR!!
