It seems awfully expensive ...

Assuming that Oster hasn't gone Singer on us, expensive is the way to
go -- we finally found a place to buy carpet sweepers, bought the
cheaper model, and it's almost useless: falls apart every time I pick
it up by the handle, and just barely sweeps.

We got rid of the carpets except for the stairs - Things live in carpets and
spread to stashes (or is it the other way round?) - and I just sweep the
hard floors with a broom. Everyone* said it would be cold and noisy, it's
neither.
