Upright Broom And Dustpan Set With Extendable Long Handle

The set stands 38.18 inches as it comes, and an optional extension rod takes it to 50.39 inches if a taller handle suits the person sweeping better. Four rows of dense bristles do the work, and the rubber lip on the dustpan sits flat to the floor so there is no thin line of dust left behind on the last pass. Teeth along the dustpan rim comb hair and grit out of the bristles with one pull, which is the part that usually gets done by hand. The broom head clips into the dustpan and the pair stands upright on its own, so it takes one narrow slot instead of falling out of a cupboard. Made with 20 percent recycled material.

Why we picked it

Almost every broom in a house is the wrong length for whoever is holding it, and almost every broom falls over. This set answers both, which is a low bar that most sets still miss. The clip is the real feature: standing the pair up as one unit means it lives in a narrow slot by the door instead of sliding down the back of a cupboard every time something else is taken out.
