Hoover Outdoor Sweeper

Hoover vacuums is taking its cleaning expertise and brand power to the driveway, patio, garage, sidewalk, and swimming pool area with the SpinSweep™ hard-surface Hoover outdoor sweeper.

Forget the broom or blower when cleaning outdoor hard surfaces. The versatile, lightweight Hoover SpinSweep (Model L1400) outdoor sweeper keeps properties well groomed by sweeping up debris such as twigs, excess mulch, grass clipping, pebbles, and even empty aluminum cans in its 21-inch cleaning path.

“The SpinSweep from Hoover hard-surface outdoor sweeper is a natural extension of Hoover’s commitment to owning home cleaning – both inside and outside,” said David Baker, vice president - diversified products. “The Outdoor Sweeper is also ideal for light commercial use. It gives our brand an additional presence at retail -- in the lawn and garden section -- and opens up a new category that means incremental business for retailers.”

With a retail range of $99 to $129, Hoover SpinSweep provides an economical, simple and effective way to keep asphalt, concrete and other outdoor hard surfaces looking neat and attractive. It’s quiet and environmentally friendly, too, operating without a motor or batteries and using no fuel. Because it doesn’t have a cord and weighs only 13 pounds, it offers a fast, convenient way to clean many different areas and can be easily transported. Molded plastic hand grips make it comfortable to push.

Here’s how it works: A worm gear on the two swiveling wheels beneath the cleaner drives large nylon brushes that rotate toward the center of the unit. As the brushes rotate, they sweep up debris. A third wheel provides balance for the unit. Traction is achieved when the user pushes the unit, putting weight on the wheels. The SpinSweep outdoor sweeper even adjusts to accommodate smooth or rough surfaces as well as to clean fine debris and larger items.

Unlike a blower, this latest offering from Hoover eliminates litter at ground level, sweeping it into a large self-contained bin – not raising plumes of dust or blowing it into the air or swimming pool. When the job is done, the user can detach the collection bin by just releasing a latch and carrying it by its handle to a trash container for emptying. Hands never touch the mess!

The Hoover SpinSweep outdoor sweeper can get dirt from crevices, thanks to its wall guides – tabs on both sides of its hood that position it flush against a wall. And, the cleaner is easy to store. It will stand upright or can be hung flat against a wall.

Fashioned from tough, high-grade plastic, the SpinSweep outdoor sweeper’s combination green casing is fade resistant and durable enough to withstand the outside elements. Assembly is simple and requires no tools.
