Genuine Joe Janitor Lobby Blend Broom

DESCRIPTION> This is a "Janitor's Broom" meaning that it is a little larger than a typical household broom. Ordinary household brooms were designed 100 years ago for your 5' tall grandmother or great-grandmother. This is a "man's" (e.g., janitor's) broom, scaled up for a 6' tall man (or a tall strong woman, of course).> Specifically, it is 56" tall. The handle is 1+" in diameter. The bristle end is 11+" wide at the bottom. Note that, it really isn't as large as that may sound. If I hadn't actually measured, I would have guessed the handle to be 7/8 inch in diameter and the bristles to reach 10 inches; wide.> Wooden handle, natural bristles.> The broom I received had a natural-colored handle (not black), with white (not black) stitching.> Greenish tinge to the bristles–probably an anti-fungal treatmentEVALUATION> Well constructed, but designed to be functional, not “pretty”.> Works great. It does what a broom is supposed to do.> Easier on the hands (except maybe for individuals with child-size hands) for heavy sweeping, for example, of a garage, patio, or otherwise a large area, than a standard household broom.> A little heavier and less maneuverable than a standard household broom, but the longer handle has better leverage -- which means that the actual sweeping motion is less strain (at least for individuals over, say 5 1/2' tall).> Works fine for household sweeping, but I still choose my much smaller, lighter, metal-handle synthetic-bristle broom (with a long-handled dust pan) to sweep up small areas.> Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews.

It is a broom. It is sturdy, lightweight and does the job of sweeping. Highly recommend. And the price was right, too.

THE BROOM APPEARED TO BE SOMEONE ELSE'S RETURN! PACKAGING WAS FLIMSEY AND IN BAD SHAPE. BROOM WAS OK.

A little expensive, but I needed them and didn't have the time to shop.Sturdy, tall, full heads.

As described. Heavy duty and firm solid handle.

I like that it was a straw broom but the handle is huge but I still get the job done regardless of how sore my wrists are afterwards 🤷🏽‍♀️

When my broom arrived it was all I expected and some. This broom is well made and sturdy. I know that this broom will laste for a while

Works well worth.the price, the plastic ones break too easily and.when you keep buying them you've paid for this one at the same cost. Just like the brooms I grew up using I'm sure this one will last years!
