Rubbermaid Commercial 12 Inch Corn Whisk Broom, Yellow, Flagged Natural Bristles for Multi-Surface Sweeping, Remove Dirt and Debris from Porches/Floors Decks/Driveways/Sidewalks

I needed a little broom to sweep the grass cuttings off my pants and shoes. I can keep this out on the porch and it does the job well. Fits my hands well and is nice and light, yet sturdy to use.

Great quality. It is exactly like the old-fashioned whisk brooms with full bristles and a good price point.

Just what I needed to keep the area around my woodstove tidy. Looks good, too.

Quite handy for small jobs. I keep it in my Class B Sprinter. Works well for sweeping out sand dirt and pet hair quickly. Well made.

Not much to say, other than it does what it is made to do and does it as expected!

I bought this to brush the grass off of my pants after I use the weed wacker. It works well and gets almost all of the grass off so I can put them in the wash. I usually wear sweatpants and so much grass would stick to them and it wouldn’t shake off. It’s well made with stiff bristles.

Good old Rubbermaid doesn't seem to put its name on anything substandard. Nor anything particularly superior, but reliability and trustworthiness matter, and most of what they sell is mundane, quotidian household implements not easily innovated. This is an excellent example: once upon a time you could buy a serviceable natural whisk broom in any dime store. Today, all innovation seems aimed at making them cheaper, either using cheap plastic materials, cheap robotic construction, or simply skimping on everything. Rubbermaid still offers a substantial, real whisk broom. It's nothing special except by being good while nearly all other whisk brooms seems to be rubbish (or expensive boutique items).

This was definitely not the cheapest whisk broom I looked at before making my decision so I can’t say “you get what you pay for”. I thought the Rubbermaid brand would add some respectability to the product. Not so.I ordered this because I felt like my vacuum wasn’t quite getting all the dog hair off of my stairs. When I was a kid (and I’m not that old), I’d whisk our carpeted stairs and it always did an amazing job. I’d just vacuum everything up at the bottom.Well, it took me quite a while to get through about 5 stairs and the broom wasn’t really working. I think a big drawback is the way it was wrapped. Several pieces of straw kept digging into my hand at the top which made it extremely uncomfortable to hold.I actually found the one I already owned from 15+ years ago (don’t know the brand) and there’s no comparison. My old one is wrapped well and is very sturdy. Nothing digging into my hand on that one.I’m sure I’ll find a purpose for this one in the future so I’ll hang onto it. But I wouldn’t buy another. I think this is a product to buy in person, if you can.
