Genuine Joe 12" Heavy-Duty Plastic Dust Pan – Durable Black Design for Home & Commercial Cleaning, 1 Count | Ultimate Pickup for Debris & Small Particles | Convenient Storage & Long-Lasting

Dustpans, I use everywhere. In the home, on the porch and patio and garage. For my outdoor use, I wanted a plastic/rubber pan. For heavier work, a metal galvanized pan is needed. I also try to purchase USA made products.This Genuine Joe dustpan is designed and made well. It is USA manufactured. Although it is constructed of a type of plastic, it is heavy-duty and It gets the job done. The Genuine Joe has a broad (12-inch wide) beveled lip and a deeper larger capacity pocket for holding swept up debris than my favorite 40-45 year old Rubbermaid (10-inch wide). The plastic lip on the front edge, with a little downward pressure, seals to the floor and makes it easier to sweep up finer debris than a metal edge. The handle at its connection to the pan has some structural reinforcement to make the pan longer lasting. In one corner are ridges that can be used to clean the dust from the broom's bristles. It is a nice added fixture. The handle width is larger than the Rubbermaid, probably to assist carrying a heavier load. Men may like this feature. Will it be more durable than my older Rubbermaid one? Probably not. But i still bought several Genuine Joes to last me into my future.Pricewise, the price varies dramatically from $3.50 to $7.00 on Amazon. The Orange DIY box store seems to have the same price range but offers free shipping with its purchase.It is fall season now and I am doing leaves. I was looking for a pair of "leaf mitts" to help pick up piles of leaves. I have been bitten by ground-nesting bees and developed poison Ivy rash from my encounters with tiny young plants in flower beds. "Leaf mitts" are expensive and have limited use and poorly rated on most reviews. I tried a pair of dust pans, one in each hand and they worked very well for picking up piles of leaves. I can use dustpans all year long. Hmmm, this is a no-brainer.If you are looking for a 12-inch heavy-duty galvanized pan, they seem to be overpriced in many stores. Price is usually $12 to $17. range. However, a heavy-duty, well-designed dustpan in manufactured in the USA by Fulton Corporation. It is sold and SHIPPED by the everything big local superstore. It was NOT available for pick-up at my store. Price is $6. (This is not from 3rd-party sellers) Shipping was free with a $35 order.All prices mentioned in this ENTIRE review are current prices from 11/2024.Please, remember, that we are ALL Americans. Support American / USA Manufacturing. Peace to All in these trying times.If you find this review helpful, please give it a Thumbs Up or hit the "Helpful Button". Thank you

This is great! This listing says heavy duty, and this dust pan is exactly that. Such a sturdy product, very easy to use and clean. My only complaint is that it doesn’t clip onto my broom, but it’s nice enough for the price that I don’t mind. It’s comfortable to use and designed well. 10/10!

I like how sturdy it is, that it's wider than most and how the front edge is flush with the floor so debris easily sweeps inside but it's not very ergonomic. The handle is wide, square and made of hard plastic. It doesn't snap onto my broom for easy storage either. I have to set it down next to it which means it falls down a lot. I could deal with that but I really wish the handle was round and made of silicone so it had a comfortable grip.

Well, it's a dustpan.It works like a dustpan should.It is sturdy, so that's a plus.

i keep this dustpan in the backyard for sweeping up leaves and fruits that fall off the trees. Build quality feels solid and there's built in feature on the corner that helps clean the bristles on your broom too. Since I leave it in the yard, I hope it will last long as it's out in the elements everyday.

I love this dustpan. It's sturdy, durable and wide
