Casabella Onda Broom and Dustpan by Karim Rashid, Black

I purchased this set for the horse stables. My last Casabella upright sweep set that I got like seven years ago did the job, but was smaller and finer and had its downsides. But I didn't appreciate how handy it was, till it was broken last week and now I was using a shovel or short dust pan and a selection of lame brooms to clean up with. I hate to sweep. Sweeping is my least favorite chore and it quickly becomes torture when having to use awkward, heavy or inefficient tools to do it with. So I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and effortless it is to use the Onda broom and dust pan. The broom is light, with ergonomic hand holds and the bristles, while soft, are resilient, working all the sawdust and debris out of tight areas that other brooms didn't reach or weren't effective in. The dust pan is shaped like a tapered scoop and reaches mid thigh. It's easy to move, hold in place and meets the floor, so everything swept toward it ends up inside instead of underneath and stays inside while being carried. Good capacity too. It takes up a very small foot print, fits perfectly in the wasted space between the wall and garbage can AND it's stable. Doesn't fall over once stored. No sudden movement. No precariously stacked pile of shovel, dust pan and several brooms shifting the garbage can and hitting the floor in and ungodly clatter at any hour of the day. The horses are _really_ happy with the Onda broom and dustpan. I am too. Worth every penny.

Purchase this back in 2015 because our new kitchen had no closet to put a broom. It lives in the corner, never tips over and looks like a piece of art. Many people comment on how cool it looks. We use it every day to sweep the kitchen and it still looks great. I would highly recommend it.

This broom is great. I was exceeding skeptical because of the price point but a friend recommended it so i decided to give it a try. We just got wood floors throughout the house so I needed something. This baby catches everything, the smallest bits of dust etc. The bristle part is very very flexible which is probably why it holds the dust, pet hair as well as it does. The handle is a great height and has a large hole for hanging which I recommend due to the softness/bendability of the bristles. I am very happy with it.

This product is great for small tasks like spilled dry cereal or cleaning up a studio or efficiency apartment. Definitely not a heavy duty broom to be used outside or for a larger home. Its more of a perfect companion to any vacuum. Especially if you don’t own a hand held and the job is too small to fire up the upright. (obviously to use on non carpeted floors)…With that being said heres a more detailed account. I admit it! I bought this purely for the esthetic. If there was a sleeker more compact design out there I would have probably bought that one. This item seems like a concept that went straight to production without any testing or research. My apartment is small and its ok for what i need it.My only real disappointment with this product is the type of surface or finish on the plastic. Even after grooming my dog on the regular she still sheds so I try and keep up with the odd hairs here and there. What I noticed the first time I used this product was not only how dusty my apartment gets but also that dust clings to the broom and dust pan. So, after sweeping they both need to be cleaned which is kind of annoying and probably a deal breaker for anyone planning to use this to sweep a dusty apartment like mines. Also, I tried using the cheap paper towels I keep under the sink to clean it up but it only moved the dust around so I had to use Bounty instead. This broom set has expensive taste I guess. Also, it took a really long time to be delivered. It wasn’t a problem for me since I placed the order way before moving into my new place.So in conclusion, this is not a broom set a house keeper would appreciate. Yes, you will be paying mainly for the design… and I guess the name of the designer which I must say this is not his best work. Not terrible but not amazing either.

It certainly is beautiful, and looks nice standing in a room. Other people seem to be saying they got used or damaged brooms, but mine was nice, new and clean. The broom is good for sweeping, and I'll probably keep using it for that. Problem is, the design of the dustpan is such that the air movement caused by sweeping particles into it is trapped by the high back of the dustpan and just ends up blowing particles back out.
