Old fashioned carpet sweepers?

Sadly our old Ewebank. called a push me pull you, died I could not get spares. Himself bought one in Argos, a more shadow or the original and it went to Charity recycling.

The old ones were always the best, and that just not nostalgia speaking.

Not a carpet sweeper [obviously] but I bought a spin dryer a few years ago and use it all the time when I have a small amount of washing.

I have had one for years and we have a pale carpet in our sitting/dining area which shows everything. The old carpet sweeper picks everything up, no flex, no plugs and just a nice useful swish sound. It is invaluable.

I love my Ewbank for a quick tidy round

The last chap I worked for had one, and it was excellent.
My mum always used hers, every day.

MIL still has hers.
Even though she has dementia
She still has a sweep around with it.
Its light and safe no plugs or wires.
We empty it as she doesn't remember that bit

I have my mothers' sweeper. A chargeable Dyson is all very well until I forget to charge it! If I don't fancy putting my knees through using a dustpan and brush the sweeper comes in handy.

I had to explain to my 20-something DD what a carpet sweeper was last week when there was a woman using one on Call the Midwife

Yes I have one it is so useful and quick. Mine is German from John Lewis and really efficient as you’d expect
