Redecker Split Horse Hair Broom

This is a beautiful broom! The handle and head were different colored woods and arrived separately in excellent condition. I noticed a bit of shedding the first time I swept and am hoping that the shedding won't be a problem moving forward. It is light and works really well picking up very fine dirt/dust. I am looking forward to seeing how it holds up over time.

Sweeping the floor with the Redecker Split Horse hair broom, is like a new form of transcendental meditation ;-) The energetic and vibrational qualities of the hair and wood, together, as the broom glides across the floor seem to instill quietness and peace, and now, my house keeping has been elevated quite a few notches. Instead of the daily "chore" of sweeping flying dog hair, horse hay and boot droppings, sweeping has become something wonderfully pleasant. I walk around my house looking for something to sweep! "I'll get it" I say. "Let me get the broom!' I love this broom. It should be called something else besides a "broom"; something more elegant than that. My dog likes it too, a pre-cautionary tale. She follows the broom around trying to "catch" the horse. I must secure my beautiful broom out of reach from her or I know it will end up in her sharp-toothed mouth.

Added with the broom, I indulged in the Redecker goat-hair duster. I spent an entire day dusting. I hate dusting. My house shows that I hate dusting. But now, it's dusted. Everything is dusted and swept. Redecker products are heart-felt, heart-warming and I find them extraordinary and actually healing me and my home. How cool is that? There is finally the right tools for a job well done. You won't be disappointed.

i actually GASPED when i opened this package. i wanted to kiss this damn broom. it is absolutely going to hang like art in my home. how wonderful that something so beautiful is also so useful - grabs cat hair better than any synthetic broom. it felt crazy to spend $80 on a broom but it's worth more. i'm the queen of domesticity now, thanks helen.

This broom is beautiful and well made! I was looking for a sustainable option to choose instead of the plastic brooms available at most retail stores. This broom is obviously more expensive than a broom from a big retail store, but I have found it to be well worth it. The horsehair is soft and the wooden broomstick is nice in the hand. In addition to the broom, I give Helen Milan's customer service a five star rating. The broom head and the handle came to me in separate packages; the head delivered successfully, but the handle did not. I emailed customer support and Helen quickly responded and opened a ticket with the delivery service. While it took extra time to get the handle to me due to circumstances outside of her control, the quick and professional correspondence with Helen was a wonderful experience. I recommend this product as well as this store in general!

I have other Redecker products but was a little worried about spending so much on a broom. It's actually smaller than I expected, but it turns out when you have a good quality broom this size is perfect. It takes up less room in the utility room and is quite beautiful.

As far as the utility aspects of the broom, I literally had swept our tile floor the day before the new broom arrived, so I was sure I would not actually sweep anything up, but I wanted to try it anyway. I was wrong. There was a lot of fine dust on the floor I didn't know was there, but this broom swept it right up.

The broom is soft and quite pretty. I have a new outlook on sweeping, It's less of a chore with this well made tool.
