Not all new broom sweeps clean

The Leifheit 45057 Allround brush already differs at first glance from the innumerable, mostly nameless Billigheimern among the broom. He hastily put together and right out of the one notices the broom, the excellent quality of materials and workmanship on it was the catch that with one click simple but at the same time connects the handle firmly and securely with the broom head or the functionality of the telescopic rod, by the broomstick to the desired length can be adjusted. The bristles do a very sophisticated look. Robust he acts and also is not easy in the hand, so the first impression is to the point: durable!

Unfortunately, we could not convince the broom in use. As to the product illustration can easily be seen, the brush head has a crescent shape. Along with the "innovative bristle shape" should be possible as an even faster and more thorough cleaning. Unfortunately we have but done exactly the opposite experience. Although in fact dirt particles of all kinds are (coarse, fine, light, heavy, dry, wet, etc.) recorded good when sweeping in the forward movement, even if not significantly better than that of other high-quality brushes, which we hitherto in use had. But unfortunately failed the broom in this respect quite in the backward movement, so if you do not just return to the front (in quasi "arrow"). This is probably due to the position of the bristles, which are not designed to slip backward movement. If you want to exploit the backward movement habitually, is the return to a test of patience.

One wonders what this is - a broom that returns only one direction?

Thus, it is of course more difficult to turn in tight spaces, or rauszuholen dirt out of corners. Since it is almost not at. The crescent shape of the brush head is indeed an exception and quite possible there is a reason has proved perhaps because the straight, or rectangular shape is valued for thousands of years? Innovations are a great thing, but they should also bring an improvement.

So but the bottom line for this broom in a word, unfortunately, "impractical"
