Carpet and Rug Beater, Rattan Carpet Beater, Manual Rug Beater Rattan Paddle, Durable Handmade Dust Beater, Must Have for Pet Owners

I was looking for a rug beater for several years until I found this one. I like the size of the paddle and the handle. Even after vacuuming a rug, I can use the rug beater and get a lot of dirt and dog hair out. The only challenge is to hang the rug to properly beat it and that isn't the rug beater's problem. Would recommend to anyone looking for an alternative to vacuuming rugs. I now also use it on our dog beds, indoor and outdoor mats and runners.

Exactly what I wanted! Works great.

The fairly high price of this item made me hesitate to buy it but I finally broke down and made the purchase. I am glad I did. This rug beater is solid and will not break no matter how much force you use to clean rugs and upholstery. It's very rewarding to see how much dirt and dust is removed even after vacuuming. I also use it on my couch cushions and pillows. Obviously, the work needs to be done outdoors unless you don't mind dusting your entire house afterward. I gave it four starts because the wrapping on the handle came apart after the second use but it doesn't affect the integrity of the beater.

I just returned from a trip to Lancaster, PA (Amish Country) and this was shown to me at an Amish house where this is a Amish Rug beater. I tried to find one to purchase and could not find until I returned home on Friday and found one on Amazon, so I ordered on Saturday and received it tonight (Monday). I have lots of rugs at my beach house and usually use a broom to beat the sand out of my outdoor rugs, so I think this is ideal. Can't wait to try it.

It's lightweight and good. It's made pretty well. Though it will splinter and crack if used frequently or intensely.

I bought this for my Wife, under condition that she will not use it on me. I asked her what she thinks about this item. She feels that it's not sturdy enough. She is afraid to trash the rugs hard, so it will not brake. This defeats the purpose of owning it...

I was looking for something like that, when I do general house cleaning, I take the area rugs , sofas cushions outside and beat out the dust and they look good and refreshed. Good product!! Thank you!!

Durable being the key positive here! It needs to be durable for the purpose I bought it for. High "marks" for this product.
