Rated GOOD. Easy to assemble. Convenient to store. We use it to sweep the concrete driveway. Machine works fine in open space but is not useful for corners or where movement is limited. Brushes work well on driveway expansion joints. Leaf bin needs to be emptied regularly for best results.

They need to pack the small screws more securely. There were only 2 left in the box. Thankfully I had enough in the maintenance shop to put it together. Otherwise a great tool and time saver.

It is exactly what I was looking for, brushes are soft, not perfect for stuck on debris, but perfect for garage and driveway cleanup!

Its a piece of crap. Won't pick up saw dust or bits of wood as advertised. Got my money back. Instructions called it a pressure washer.

When I opened the box, half the components were missing when it arrived. I stall cannot mount the front brushes because the hardware package was missing. One of the handle bolts was also missing, so I couldn't even try the unit. I called Home Depot, and they wanted me to return the unit and wait for a different one, or call the manufacturer myself. I called the manufacturer, and they sent only half of what I needed. So needless to say, it hasn't been all that great of an experience......... Rick

I am saving so much time now!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a lot of yards and gardens that have chestnut trees on them, as well i have a lot of pavement and walkways. Every spring, summer and especially fall time the trees and surrounding foliage make for a ton of cleanup. During these seasons i am outside cleaning up for several each day, it is a lot of raking and sweeping involved. I truly adore and really rely on my Karcher S 650, it makes for quick work for me, i am literally just 'pushing' this along. I love that this sweeps up the chestnuts wonderfully and in a snap. I love keeping my paths, walkways and patios beautifully manicured and with this i am literally just sweeping and takes little effort and i am done in no time! My karcher has been essential to me and my home!

    Good Product for Low Maintenance Jobs
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to get this product, however the excitement was superseded by the amount of time this took to put together. It may not be hard for those who are familiar with assembling products, but it took hours for my partner and I to figure out since the directions are bare bones. We had to revert to You-Tube to finally figure it out. Once it was put together it was pretty neat. I love that it's human powered, rather than gas or electric, making it an environmentally friendly and useful product. Literally, you can use this anywhere. It's lightweight and the compartment holds quite a bit of debris. I have large oak trees, and while it picks up the smaller leaves, the larger ones generally got thrown out the sides by the sweepers. If you have small jobs, this is a fantastic product! With larger jobs, this may end up being a little more work than something with purchased power (electrical, gas, etc.). I likely would have rated this 4 stars if it weren't for all the stress of putting it together.

      quick clean up
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this tool is very good at sweeping up decks, garages, sidewalks etc, very quickly. it works like a push sweeper you see at a restaurant - however much larger. the canister is easy to empty. the machine was easy to install. takes up a bit more space than i would prefer but does fold up easily. fairly lightweight. would consider this more of a luxury item than a needed one. that being said its a quick easy way to clean up after doing yard work. i used it in the garage as well, its fall and lots of leaves blow in.

        Nice product
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that Its lightweight so even my kids can pick it up and use it. With it being light it makes it easy to push around. It did pick up grass and small leaves easily but sometimes had trouble with larger pieces. Overall it works well for what i use it for.

          I'm a believer!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a skeptic at first with regards to the "power" of this product. It came unassembled, however, the directions were clear and it only took approximately 10 minutes to assemble. Since I assembled it in our house and we have tile floors, I decided to test it out on our tile floor first. I had only made 2 or 3 passes on the floor before checking the canister for any dirt/debris it collected (not anticipating much). I could not believe the dog hair (we have a small rat terrier mix) and fine particles it picked up. I then moved the S650 outside to utilize it what it was actually meant for and into the garage and on the leaf-blown sidewalks. Again, the S650 was amazing picking up sand particles and other debris and much quicker and easier than any push broom out there. While unassuming due to is size, the S650 was easy to push and would be great particularly for elderly. The S650 is very light weight, which is great for hanging up off the floor and on to a wall hook in a garage or shed. Amazing non-gas powered product.

            Keeps my garage clean!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a caliche road, and my Jeep is always tracking it into my garage. Now we don’t get tired sweeping it with a broom, this sweeper has solved all our problems with a dirty garage!

              Super easy!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and am happy I did. The S 650 is super easy to use and lightweight. It allows you to sweep large areas in no time at all and easily empty the tray into the trash.

                Nice, clean walkways without the sore back!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Karcher S650 for free in exchange for an honest review. My uncle owns a small landscaping company and he also does my weekly lawn maintenance. Usually, he trims the lawn and the bushes and then uses a leafblower to gather up all the clippings, then sweeps the clippings into a bin for our city to compost. This week, I had him try out the S650 and he loved it! It saved so much time and we didn't have to listen to the noisy leafblower all morning! The sweeper was very easy to assemble and I love that it can fold up to be compact when not in use. My uncle is 6'3" and he was able to use the sweeper without having to stoop down and put strain on his back. As far as performance, it picks up leaves and twigs with ease. Some of the fine dirt and smaller grass clippings got left behind even after a second pass, but it was easy enough to sweep up with a broom. The sweeper is so easy to use and it really saved a lot of time. Plus, it's better for the environment than a leafblower! And I really love that the S650 actually picks up the debris into a container so that you can mulch or compost it, rather than just sweeping/blowing the mess into the street or into another neighbor's yard! It's great to have for you home and I highly recommend it!

                    Like a mini street sweeper
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty nifty sweeper broom. Very easy to assemble and use. I used it after I mowed my grass to sweep up all the grass trimmings that were all over my driveway/sidewalk. It swept up all and disposal is very easy. Bigger items like leaves do to get stuck in the brushes, but anything smaller, like ciggerette buts or loose gravel, dirt, grass trimmings this works perfectly for. No need to bend over and use a dust pan so anyone with back issues, I would recommend. Great product! Even my kids enjoy the chore of sweeping with this.

                      Great for cleaning small debris from my pool deck. Watch out for leaves, though. I started using it in September, and the leaves were already coming down. They fill up the bin, and then the sweeper leaves a trail of dust. Otherwise, happy with it.

                      Looked pretty good, but had to return it. For it was missing parts (two handle knobs and one side brush) don't know how it could be missing that many parts and still be shipped? Home Depot reordered it for me, but I told them to deliver to store this time so I can check to make sure all parts are there and don't have to make another trip to the store. I will update my review when I receive the new one and tried it.

                        The first one did not have all the pieces, It was missing one front brush. I returned it and got another and it was missing some hardware. I will keep it because I can make it work with hardware I have on hand.

                        So much easier then using a broom and dustpan. The first thing I noticed was the weight, surprisingly light. Assembly was super easy took about two minutes. I was actually surprised by how good it does, I was expecting to have to go over a few times, not the case. empting the waste bucket is just as easy. My favorite part is that it folds up and stands on end for easy storage.

                        Once I shipped a "new" unit, it was great
                        The first unit I received arrived in a damaged box . When I opened it, the enclosed sweeper had obviously been used and returned since it still had debris in the bin. Then, I discovered it was missing some parts. When I called Home Depot to initiate the return, the representative offered to send a new one and pay for expediting the replacement unit. Unfortunately, it was still shipped via ground and took another week to reach my home. I will say, the second sweeper was easy to assemble, and works beautifully. In their defense, Home Depot did offer me a discount as an accommodation for the issues.

                          Simplicity at its best! Noise free and no fossil fuels needed
                          I was like a kid on his birthday, ripping open the box and setting up in minutes, all the time excited to trying my new toy! I was able to sweep the entire driveway, patio and all the walks in minutes and never stopping to use a dust pan to pick up debris. I have used a broom to do this job my entire life and I was able to do the job in minutes with the simplest of ease and at the end to just empty the collection bin and I was done. Wow! The makers used new technology to create a product that is so simplistic and low tech to perform a very simple job with the simplest of ease. I feel honored to use such creative machine that uses nothing than the power of a push. Well Done!
