Zippi Sweeper Review: Worth the Hype? Real-World Test! 

That thing was aggravating me and I wasn't even using it 😂

Imagine prototyping that design and going "yeah, that'll do." 😂

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.

Looks like the tried and true broom and dust pan win again. 😊

Another great review....they save me $$ to squash the hypes on tv & see how a product REALLY works. TY Bailey for your contribution.

I'm glad you tested it, but it's definitely not worth $60. I wouldn't even pay $20 for it.

Nothing beats the good old dustpan and brush.

$60 for this. Save a extra money and get a cordless vacuum on sale for ~100 to ~150$.

I love all your pet hair gadget reviews!! Bailey is such a great product review helper ❤

Thank you so much for all of your reviews. I use your videos all of the time to shop for things that will help me around the house

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.

Can't beat an old fashioned style vacuum.

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 used to watch your videos a lot, this is the first to pop up in my RU-vid 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…

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great review as always. Disappointed that I didn't get the "hiyah" when he threw the coffee grounds on the floor.

I'll go to Dollar Tree and get a 1.25 dustpan and brush lol, thanks for the review.

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.

This is a hard pass! I still love my Shark Vac-Mop. Doesn't do carpet, but it's great on hard floors.

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.

I wonder if the companies watch his reviews.

You must test the cooling belt Sparkle Tornado. Semes awesome.

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!

I'm glad I watched this video , before purchase. Changed my mind. 👍Thanks! For the info.

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 😮

I love this channel so many honest reviews.

Thank you for your service, testing this things for us👍😎

Great review, thanks James! ❤

Would you consider doing a video comparing vacuum mops?

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

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 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 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.😎👍

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'm so glad you tested this and shared the results. I would hate to have wasted $79 for nothing.

Back to the drawing board on that one.

Got one on qvc a long time ago. Long hair winds around the brushes but it works pretty good and has lasted for years. Nice review. Thanks.

Hi James, there are several other/newer versions of the Ninja Cremi, can you please review one or more of them? Thanks

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'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.

My shark handheld is wonderful for small messes, and it has actual suction!

How do manufacturers think a product like this will work correctly? I was laughing throughout the video 😂

Please do a review of the iWoly vacuum. It really surprised me.

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. ❤❤❤❤

This product reminds me of the swivel sweeper that my parents bought when I was younger. It too also didn’t work well

Zippi huh? Wow! They must have spent minutes thinking up that name 🤔 how original 🙄 Great video as always James Happy Sunday

You have to clean after you clean 😂

It tossing cracker crumbs was so hilarious 😂

Nice job Bailey girl.. ur fur helped out. ❤❤❤😊😊

Thanks for the review, that one goes right to the no waydsection

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!

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 your videos.

Have you tried Socket Fan? Something to review maybe. Sorry if you already did that one.

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.

This is like a triangle version of the swivel sweeper

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.

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?

Not all heroes wear capes. My OCD was triggered after this. Thank you!!

Yesterday I watched a video from Techmoan about a pocket sized record player. It's kind of the same picture.

Fantastic job with the stuff you picked for messes. Great review, shame it didn’t work better. 😢😢😢😢

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.

Can you try the new 3rd generation Dirt Devil Broomvac?

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

GOOD VID.THIS IS WHY I LOVES YOUR VIDS.

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 completely reminded me of Melanie Griffith from the movie Working Girl.... 💪 ✔️

Thanks for showing us what not to buy.

Thanks for spending the time and money so we don't have tooooooooooooooo!

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!

Walmart has a corded ionvac its 20 bucks and great for pet hair on hard floors

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.

Me: GD that's loud af FR: Not too loud, that's good! Lol...must be louder on camera.

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. 😂

He needs to try the dirt devil version

nothing beats a good broom 😂

Heh, yeah.... I kinda get what they were going for, but it's just a bad idea. At first, when I saw the thumb I thought this was going to be a self wringing triangular mop that I've already seen in some places... but this is basically putting together the part I hate the most on broom style vacuum cleaners and multiplying it by 3. xD I'll often just use a portable vacuum instead of the broom just to avoid having to clear hair from those brushes. My guess is that they tried to do a multi-directional broom and dustpan combo all in one.... but that's a bit like designing a product that doesn't understand the principle. Mashing stuff together to see if it works. How a broom and dustpan, or one of those circular brushes work, is by using directionality in it's favor. Some of the dirt gets pushed up into the dustpan or a vacuum tube, some stays on the floor but gets pushed together in the same dustpile, which grows and makes it easier to gather. If it's coming from all directions, this doesn't work, and you end up spreading stuff around. That spinning bush in particular was an even worse add. I don't even like those in robo vacuums, but they are meant to dislodge dirt and dust trapped in corners, compensating for the round design that most robo vacuums have. This being triangular and not a vacuum it doesn't make much sense for them to be there. It just flings stuff around because, well, that's the only thing it can do. Just that there is no vacuum being pulled to get at least part of what is being dislodged. The triangular mop is weird but perhaps a better idea? Have you seen those James? The corners fold inwards to wring the cloth. Haven't tested them myself, the system I like the best so far is the rectangular mops with a hollow square attachment on the side... I was using those with a special cleaning and wringing bucket, but despite working well they are just less practical... it's a hassle to clean the bucket.

Ok, scratch this off my list of possibilities.

No, I think I'll go with that great invention called "broom and dust pan"

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.

😂😂😂😂😂Thanks for reviewing this!!!! Can you return it? That's why Amazon is great - easy returns.

Seems like an old fashioned broom would be more efficient and cheaper

Broom and a dustpan would take seconds. With that you make multiple trips. Had to edit, cuz you said it at the end too. Haha

The news when you did the sprinkle test I noticed the floor was scratched. Did the sweeper do that?

People tested, roach approved 😏

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 triangle of sadness.

i have a shark vac vx2 i use it a lot for my room.

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 another great review...I'll stick with my cheap, but paid for, stick vac

Classic as seen on TV... even using old battery technology. No over charge protection? Top comedy.

The great part about this is that if you’re a procrastinator, it will get you started cleaning just one area, but by the time you finish you’ll have cleaned the entire house trying to finish what you started.

My 30 year old Kirby would run laps around this. So spend a 100.00 and get a older Kirby

They should change the name to The Crappy Sweeper!

Imagine this guys yard sales

Thank you for this review. Really hink that should have performed better being it was $60.00.

Looks like the old school Fuller Brush Sweeper works better. Why am I not surprised.
