Get swept away with the people-powered Haaga 696

We understand if you've been putting off outdoor clean-up; no one likes pushing a broom to clear debris on patios, driveways, paths, and walkways. But it's getting warmer out now, and let's face it, it's time.

If you'd rather not kick up dust and allergens with the old broom/dust pan combo, Haaga sweepers can grab dust particles, litter, and other debris in a single pass. Large models (like the Turbo shown above) are great for sidewalks, storefronts, and parking lots, but you can also opt for a smaller unit  (CleanSweep) to tidy walks and drives after mowing or weeding. They'll pick up sawdust in workshops and garages, and can work on carpeted areas as well. (Video of the thing in action after the jump)

Maintenance-free motorized brush drive and dust filters (plus sealing lips) allow for dust-free sweeping. The new Haaga 696 can be operated manually or driven, as it comes with a rechargeable battery. All other models are completely people-powered, with the smallest unit (CleanSweep) weighing in at 13 lbs. with a sweeping width of 22 inches and the largest (MasterSweep 696) at 42 lbs. with a 40-inch width. All models store vertically.
