Maximizer Heavy Duty Upright Debris/Dust Pan, Yellow, for Indoor/Outdoor Debris Collection

Okay, so let me get this outta the way: I cannot STAND idiot reviewers who rate things like the shipping speed, some bizarre circumstance specific to themselves, etc. People reading a review, I maintain, care about the product, not the reviewer's sense of entitlement as to how FedEx should have put everything up to and including organ transplants on standby, that their loofa (which they were so desperate for, but have now paradoxically downvoted with a 1-star review) might arrive the very same hour (before) they ordered it. Hence my 5 star review. Allow me to briefly touch on what you likely care about: 1. It's freakin' 'uge! I'm a woodworker; I bought this because the plastic children's snow shovel I HAD been using for sawdust had cracked (seriously), and I hoped this would be a superior sawdust transport mechanism. It's good at that. Really, really good at that. Granted: every time I pull it out, I expect to see a seemingly-impossible number of clowns begin to climb from it, but... well, put it like this: I can not only use a push broom to fill it, I can PUT THE PUSH BROOM IN IT WHEN DONE. Freakin'. 'UGE. 2. I have not experienced any of the "won't sit flush with the ground" issues some reviewers have lamented. Albeit, the concrete of my shop floor was apparently levelled via frisbees being thrown at it by an blind, inebriated, kangaroo on a trampoline with half its springs missing, so it's possible, I suppose, that the "waves and bends" others describe just happen to align with my floor, but, if so: GUYS! This dustpan aligns with the floor I just described above! THAT floor! In EVERY ORIENTATION! It's a topological masterwork! 3. Yes: I got the handle. No: there's nothing wrong with it. Yes: the dustpan will hold enough liquid to extinguish a medium-sized fire pit. No: I would not advise a large fire pit. Yes: it's sturdy enough to beat a kodiak bear to death with. No, a grizzly will take it away from you, chase you up a tree and then beat YOU to death with it. Then use it to collect several dozen POUNDS of berries. TLDR: Yes: I think it's worth the money, and it's arguably the best dustpan "technology"(?) the market has to offer. BUT... With all of that said: I happened to see the UPS guy the day of its delivery (it had been backordered when I purchased it, so this was a few weeks later, and I, being somewhat prone to shop online, had no clue it was due). He was struggling with a 4-foot long, medium sized box, and another one. A much, much larger one. I was CERTAIN I hadn't purchased a chest freezer. Or a water heater. Or a Buick. I ran out, and together we muscled the two to my porch. Baffled, I set about opening them, then and there, so the poor man could at least see what the hell the kerfuffle was for. The 4 foot package was an unrelated blanket from the wife. HOWEVER,. the Homeless Barbie Malibu Multi-Story Mansion with 4-cart garage and real working, deluxe boot-burnin' barrel proved to be The Dustpan, swaddled in a small deciduous forest worth of that brown paper, in what I can only imagine was an attempt to fill the 86 cubic feet of empty space in the box (and increase the package weight to a hair under a metric tonne). Incredulous, then swearing, the UPS guy stomped off. A dustpan box shouldn't be hard to ship, let alone to move. My wife helped me carry the box inside. It was one of those "we both had to watch our fingers on the box vs the door frame" scenarios. Finally, sweating, we manhandled it into the living room. I walked back out to the porch to retrieve the dustpan. By the time I returned inside (circa 9 seconds later), the box was inhabited. And while it was a very fair price for God's gift to dustpans AND a rocketship/time machine/transmogrifier/whatever it had been repurposed to, still: A dustpan box shouldn't hold two children AND a 60-pound Standard Poodle. It took a few minutes to explain to my wife that "yes, I'd ordered this", and "no, I wasn't starting a recycling center in the living room," and "yes, I remember what happened last time I did," and "hey look how cool the dustpan for the shop was," and "no, if you want one for the house, we'd best wait until next week after the recycling was picked up, assuming we wanted somewhere to sleep until then." I sighed as a swirl of leaves blew past my ankles. Inside. We turned in unison, trying not to picture the horror we knew we'd find. All three of the CATS had discovered the furlong of butcher paper that had been carefully cushioning the BLOODY INDUSTRIAL-DUTY, SOLID-PLASTIC DUSTPAN, and, having evidently worked out SOME system that succeeded in providing both the ticker-tape AND the confetti required to celebrate the arrival of a dustpan with apropos pomp and circumstance (best guess: two lay on their backs with 20 claws extended straight up each, while the third grabbed one end and dragged the whole mass through. Twice). A dustpan box shouldn't contain more extraneous paper than a CVS receipt. "Peyow! Peyow!" went the box. "*Rustle*Shuffle*Mrrrrrrowr!" went the brown paper spaghetti pile. Upstairs, went the wife. I went and got the push broom. Fortunately, I had this sweet new dustpan. ...and I FILLED that sucker. ...four times.

I’ve been a custodian for over a decade. This tool is by far the best dustpan I have ever used. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: -Versatile! It’s great for indoors and out. The lip is direct contact with the ground, making it ideal for small particles like dust and dirt. The pan is large enough to hold voluminous matter like leaf piles. -Heavy duty! All of the parts of this tool are high quality and sturdy. The only potential issue I see is the rubber lip coming undone; time will tell. -Convenient! The subtle accessories found all around this product make using far more convenient than your typical dustpan. The angled handle, bucket locker, a set of wheels and an indentation on the back of the bucket, and finally the rubber lip. Cons: Color scheme is boring. The yellow and black go well with other custodian tools but I want a different color scheme for my personal dustpan.

I have bought 5 or 6 of these heavy duty dustpans and they are marvelous and make my work much easier and I highly recommend them. However,1 problem , after a few months of use, every dustpan has lost 1 or 2 rubber plugs in the bottom of the dustpan. My property was hit by a wildfire a few months ago and I am trying to sweep up black carbon dirt & sand but every time I move the dustpan that is missing plugs, I have a black sand trail following the dustpan, making these dustpans almost useless. I would like help getting 24 replacement rubber plugs to fix the dustpans I have and some for spares. Thank you in advance. BTW, these dustpans are rated 5 stars when both plugs are present.

I expect better from the name Rubbermaid. I’ve had this dust pan a little over 6 months. The bottom pan-strip has warped terribly. IT SHOULD HAVE A METAL PAN-STRIP. Initially, this item was exactly what I needed for outside cleanup. It’s big, sturdy, wide opening and easy to maneuver. Now, I can’t sweep anything small like leaves, twigs or dirt. It all goes under the pan-strip. IT SHOULD HAVE A METAL PAN-STRIP. It seems to be warped more on one side so I’ve tried standing on it, to keep the strip down, but it goes all over my shoes. What a disappointment. PS I live in Tucson Arizona. Summers can reach 112 degrees. If the heat warped it, and Rubbermaid knew that, it should have come with a Buyer Beware notice. IT SHOULD HAVE A METAL PAN-STRIP!

This is larger than expected, ( I need to read descriptions better). It will work cleaning the garage and driveway. Not a bad design and speedy delivery.

Finally a butler that takes and sweep brooms fit into. The plastic is slick smooth so items slide right in and the butler is surprisingly both light and strong. The locking mechanism so far has worked flawlessly as well. I use it for yard work.

I have a large cafe and you cannot use the dust mop style brooms do to the type if flooring. This broom works amazing and does not fling the debris around like a normal push broom. It is very sturdy and has support arms to support hard pushing, without breaking at the end.

Works great, definitely worth the money spent

Great for gathering wet leaves, handle could have been a bit longer though.

Best push broom ever. Creates much less dust than traditional broom. Worth the extra cost.

If you want a great broom for your garage or shop ..look no further. This is the best I have ever used, nice and wide ..so not all day to clean up the dirt and rust from the floor. Best purchase so far for my garage. Yes pricey; but as they say, you get what you pay for.

Just received. Looks and feels like a QUALITY unit... however... Be careful putting the handle and brush head together. The rivet does not allow easy assembly and can easily break the needed threads. ... like with mine.
