Bissell Perfect Sweep TURBO Takes Home Top Honors as Best in Category

BISSELL Homecare Inc.’s Bissell Perfect Sweep TURBO, a power-boosted twist on the classic carpet sweeper, was named “Best in Category” of Floor Care Electric's at the 2005 HOMEWORLD Housewares Design Awards held in New York City recently. Two other BISSELL floor care innovations, the Flip-It® Hard Floor Cleaner and Lift-Off® Bagless Upright Vacuum also were nominated in the same category.

Created from the DNA of the original BISSELL Carpet Sweeper that was patented by Melville Bissell in 1876, the Perfect Sweep TURBO is a cordless sweeper with a powerful, motorized brush roll and dual-edge cleaning brushes that maximize cleaning performance.

“It's difficult to improve on a classic but in this case, the original carpet sweeper just needed a turbo boost," said Jim Krzeminski, executive vice president of product development, sales and marketing. "The design being recognized by this award is further evidence of what a good idea our founder had more than a century ago."

Powered by a rechargeable battery, the Perfect Sweep TURBO can be used to pick up dry messes such as crumbs, dirt and pet hair on a variety of surfaces from carpet and rugs to bare floors. It is available at retailers nationwide, including Ace Hardware, BOSCOV’s, The Home Depot, Kohl’s and Meijer, at a suggested retail price of $39.99.

A 129-year-old company, Grand Rapids-based BISSELL Homecare, Inc., is a floor care innovator and international manufacturer of home cleaning products, including sweepers, vacuums, deep cleaning machines and cleaning formulas sold at retail locations nationwide. The company, in its fourth generation of family leadership, is the seventh oldest privately held manufacturing company in the United States.
