First impressions

I tested the wider broom (50cm), which had the longer handle (147cm). It looked smart, well made and not too bulky. It was also easy to store.

Overview of performance

This broom worked really well when the ground was dry and it was good at getting dry mud up – the scraper helped with this, too. However, it didn’t perform so well when it was wet. Some hay does get caught up, but not too badly – I’ve definitely used much worse. It was a sturdy and durable broom – there were no problems there. 

Lisa’s likes and dislikes

I didn’t like how stiff the broom was because it made it harder to sweep. but it’s a durable sturdy broom. The handle was also too long for me – I would have been better with the shorter version.
