It does. A sensor picks up sound or a touch, and the broom leans and sways on its own — the handle is bendable, so the whole length moves rather than the base sliding around. It settles again when things go quiet.
There are small silicone feet under the straw, and they are what keep it upright while it moves. Put it on a flat, hard floor — tile, hardwood, laminate, a concrete porch. On thick carpet or gravel it has nothing to push against and will barely stir.
Two AA batteries, and they are not in the box. Nothing to plug in, nothing to assemble, no tools — put the batteries in and stand it up.
Thirty-five inches tall and about eight across at the widest part of the straw. That is roughly waist height on an adult, which makes it a doorway, porch or corner piece rather than something you plant in the middle of a lawn.
Yes — there is an on/off switch on the piece. It cuts the whole thing, sound and movement together, so if it is going off at the cat at two in the morning you can flip it before bed and it stays quiet.
It is made for indoors and out, and a covered porch or an entryway is where it does best — that is where it gets the footfall that sets it off, and where the floor is flat enough for it to work. Bring it in out of heavy weather.
They are printed on at the factory, not damage. Up close the straw carries a dark spatter across it, and that detail is a lot of what keeps it from reading like a plain craft-store broom once the light is on.
No — a strand runs the full length of the handle as well as through the straw, so the whole shape reads at night instead of just a glow at the floor. Green, amber or violet, depending on which one you pick.
The whole sheet
What holds up
It sits by the front door and every single person who walks in sets it off. It leans and sways and cackles and my six year old screams every time, on purpose. Two weeks in and the novelty has not worn off.
On the tile in the entry it works exactly like the video. I tried it on the living room rug first and it barely moved — that is on me, not the broom. Moved it to the hallway and it has been going all week.
I bought it for the movement and ended up keeping it for the lights. They run the whole handle, not just the bottom, so at night the whole thing reads from the sidewalk. We have it on the porch next to the door.
Two AA and they are not in the box, which the listing does say but I did not read it. Had to run out. Once it had power it was up and going in under a minute — there is nothing to assemble.
Front and back. They do not talk to each other or anything, they just each go off when someone comes near, which is honestly better — you get startled twice in one night. Worth it at the two pack price.
Thirty-five inches is about waist height on me, so it is a doorway or a corner piece, not a lawn piece. That is my fault for not measuring. For what it is, it looks great and the straw is fuller than the photos suggest.
Up close the straw has this dark spatter across it that you cannot really see in the pictures. It stops it looking like a craft store prop. Under the green light it reads a lot nastier than I expected for the money.
There is a switch, which I am grateful for, because it will absolutely go off at the cat at two in the morning. Flip it before bed and it is fine. Sound and motion are on the same switch.
