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.
