Amazon Reviewers Swear By This Tough, Industrial-Strength Dustpan
As much as we love vacuums, some messes — like coffee grounds, wood ash, broken glass, and dust — can be made worse by spinning brushes and blowing air. Luckily, we found a dustpan that addresses both of these issues, plus it has an extra-long handle that will save your back from hunching over. The Yangbaga Long Handled Dustpan is made from heavy-duty stainless steel that’s lightweight and durable, with a non-hinging design that stands up on its own. That way, you can use both hands to sweep every bit of your mess into the pan.
According to nearly 1,000 positive reviews on Amazon, the industrial-strength item is helpful in cleaning up both inside and outside the home, with users loving it for everything from yard work to keeping a barber shop clean!
“Dustpans don’t last very long in our house,” says one reviewer. “This is an industrial-strength dustpan you would see in a janitor’s closet. Good weight, sturdy, and I can see this lasting a lifetime.” Another fan of the Yangbaba bought it for her husband to use outdoors. “He would always take my kitchen broom and dustpan for outdoor cleanup. He always ruined them. I saw this metal dustpan with the long handle and it was perfect! He loves it and no longer takes my kitchen broom and dustpan.”
The basin of the pan measures roughly 10 by 10 inches. It has a solid build that won’t bend under heavy loads and a thin edge that makes it easy to sweep extra-fine particles into the pan. “I have five dogs and a wood stove, so sweeping at least twice a day is a must,” one customer shares. “The large capacity pan easily holds however much debris I sweep up, and it sits so snug to the floor it all goes right into the pan, not underneath like my other dustpans.” The surface of the pan has a nonstick coating that, in the words of one reviewer, is great at keeping “dirt, hair, crumbs, broken glass, and any debris you can think of from escaping.”
When comparing the Yangbaga to a traditional plastic dustpan, one happy customer reports that “it’s much easier on my back. Very sturdy and easy to assemble.” The Yangbaga’s 39-inch handle breaks down into three removable sections, so you can customize it to your desired length or take it off completely for cleaning up low-clearance areas like fireplace hearths, tables, or desks. The detachable design also makes it easy to store between uses. “The height works well for me at 5′ 0″ and is just as good for my husband who is a bit over 6′ tall. I’ve been keeping it next to the trash can so it is close at hand when I need it,” another reviewer says.
If you’re looking for a trusty, sturdy dustpan for your kitchen, front halfway, workshop, or garage, chances are the Yangbaga will stand up to whatever you sweep into it and be ready for the next job. As one reviewer says, “It’s the best dustpan I’ve ever owned!”
