The Wisp Foot-Pinned Dustpan, Yea or Nay?

File this under “Why the heck didn’t I think of this?” The Wisp is a broom and dustpan combo where the dustpan has been designed to sit flat on the floor, and stepped on to keep it from moving.

Then you can simply sweep up the broken wine glass shards from your family’s holiday-get-together-turned-political-brawl without having to bend over or squat down. Well, I mean, you still have to get down there to pick the thing up.

…Come to think of it, you have to bend over to initially place it on the floor too. Unless you just throw it on the floor the way your uncle knocks the phone book off of the counter when you start talking Supreme Court Justices.

Okay, so we’re looking at, with the Wisk you go down to drop the pan then come back up, sweep into the pan, then go down to get the pan and come back up again. Versus with a conventional dustpan you go down, sweep into it, then come back up. That’s one down-up versus two. Heck, should I just get one of these?

Well, now I can’t decide which is better. In fact the only thing I can be sure of is my political views and how they are unquestionably 100% correct. If you’ll excuse me I need to return to the parlor; I just thought of the perfect comeback to my uncle’s argument-ender from 15 minutes ago.
