Welcome to the Oates Space Save Dustpan Set Review!
Whether you’re a mum to an adorable little fur baby or gorgeous human baby, we all know that life can get a little messy.
That’s why we’re so excited to bring you the Oates Space Saver Dustpan Set review, because whatever mess you’ve got – big or small – clean up is easy with Oates!
Whatever way you look at it, life gets messy and rather than stress, Oates wants you to look for fun and laugh at the mess (#LaughAtTheMess) … the Oates Space Saver Dustpan can help with the little messes around your home so it’s clean and tidy … even if only for an hour.
What’s great is that the Oates Space Saver Dustpan set has a larger size pan than most dustpans. It also has side ridges to conveniently and effectively clean the brush and remove hair (there’s nothing worse than an old dustpan full of hair and fuzz … we’ve all been there).
The Oates Space Saver Dustpan Set brush features an in-built rubber blade and flagged bristles for optimal cleaning. The electrostatic properties of the rubber edges attract and trap more dust and fine particles. The dustpan also has a unique freestanding design that saves cupboard space and keeps storage neat and tidy.

The Oates Space Saver Dustpan is such a great cleaning tool. It is easy to store and so very easy to use. The quality of the rubber strip is so good. It helps with pickup of dust right into the pan in one stroke. I am super happy with it. I do know it’s on the expensive side as compared to the $1 dustpans, but this is like a one time investment. It is great quality, thick and durable. Highly recommended. Go for it.

This Oates dustpan is seriously the best one I have tried. The strip at the bottom actually gets the dirt into the dustpan instead of underneath it. It makes it so much easier to sweep up dirt. Being an Oates brand you also know its great quality and wont break within the first couple of uses. I will never buy any other dust pan again.

I don’t often use dustpans, I am more of a mop and vacuum cleaner girl however it has really helped when I can’t just vacuum a mess or if the kids have spilt something I don’t want to damage the vacuum with.
It’s sturdy and durable and you can even use it when all of the kids are in bed without the risk of waking the little tornadoes

Yes I love this dustpan and so does my son. It’s great that he actually gets excited to clean up the mess he has made. It’s chunky enough for him to use but not too heavy that he can’t hold. I’d recommend this to any parent who wants to clean quickly and efficiently. It has a nice fit against the floor and captures all the crumbs easily.

I have only ever owned a $1 cheap dustpan and broom set because I figured they were all the same but wow I was wrong!
I was so impressed by this, dare I say I actually had fun sweeping with it!
It’s solid and sturdy, and the dustpan stops dirt from being swept underneath it.
It has a section where you can clean the broom and it has a rubber piece in the middle of the bristles which helps trap the dirt too.
The kids loved having a turn with it too.

Living in a place with limited storage, this little gem fits perfectly in our household! The freestanding design makes it easy to store away. Its great quality and the pan itself is sturdy and with the high edges, debris stay inside the pan easily .
Great product and I think all households should own one! Hands down the most practical dustpan I’ve come across. Easy for littlest hands to help out too 🙂

WOW… This Oates Space Saver Dustpan is really great. I do like the feature of it being able to stand upright by itself. Great for small spaces. The high edges of the pan allows you to sweep and carry more stuff, without it falling out.
The rubber edge works so much better then my current hard plastic pan, with getting the ALL the small dirt into the pan with ease.
Overall a great product. Makes cleaning floors more enjoyable, if I do say so myself. Would recommend getting this to anyone looking for a Dustpan Set.

We LOVE the Oats Space Saver Dustpan we have been through a lot of cheaper dust pans over the years that never last or keep the dust and dirt in the pan. We love how that it isn’t made from the weaker plastics the snap easily and how it has a deeper pan. We will be recommending this dustpan to all of our friends and family.

We have all had those dustpans that never seem to pick up every little piece of dirt off the floor, after trying to sweep it up continuously but don’t have the time to battle your dustpan so you try to pick up all the little pieces with your hands, this becomes hazardous when it is required to pick up items such as broken glass, etc. Well not any more, I found a savior in the Oates Space Saver Dustpan, after an incredible sweep with the triple action flat mop, I was able to pick up everything off the tiles with this dustpan, there was not a single piece of mess left. the deep sides of the dustpan ensure the mess will not fall out and the bristle of the brush are firm yet flexible enough to ensure the capture of even the smallest dust bunny. I have since thrown out my old unbranded dustpan and use the Oates Space Saver Dustpan. For its efficiency, easy grip and great value, I recommend this product to others as well as the greatest possibly to repurchase this item.

Because we’ve been home schooling my son, it gets really silly sometimes trying to choose what else can he do. So I came up with this imaginary play and asked him if he’d like to help an old lady… Lol he said yes and there U go. He literally cleaned up the whole balcony using this amazing Oates spacesaver dustpan. He had so much fun. I guess I’ve got help now. Love it

Yes so I would recommend the Oates space saver dust pan to others and have already done it to my friends and family members here. Special note to how easy it is to use.

The Oates spacesaver dustpan is lovely. I have 3 at home. One for the floor, one for the kitchen bench and one for everything else.
It is sturdy and durable. you can even use it for all those little wall skirtings. It does a great job picking up crap from the sides. It is my go to for any kind of cleaning. The front strip is just awesome. Does a great job.

We’ve been using this dust pan and brush for a while now and still love it as much as when I first used it. Grips nicely to the floor so you don’t lose any dirt under the pan. Also the brush has a plastic blade which helps to push the dirt into the pan. Easy to clean hair off the brush with the teeth on the dustpan too. Would highly recommend.

This dustpan did what it promised to do. It picked up the dirt of my floor. When I saw dust bunnies had collected on the brush’s bristles, I was able to remove them easily by running the brush over the bumpy edge of the dust pan. The rubber blade made sure that no dirt escaped under the dust pan. I like that the brush handle fits snuggly into the dustpan handle. This is a handy and effective dustpan and brush 🙂

I absolutely love the Oates space saver dustpan set! I use it all the time and find it to be so useful, super easy to use and it also holds a lot of volume which is great and means less trips to the bin. With a toddler, a 9 year old and a cat I’m constantly cleaning up messes but having this dustpan means less times using the vacuum as this is simply for cleaning up small messes. I also have a cheap $2 dustpan which I find doesn’t pick up all of the mess on the floor and gets stuck on the edges of the rim, with the Oates space saver I haven’t had that issue and find it to be extremely effective!

After flick and swish with my Oates mop, I needed to follow through with my Space Saver Dustpan Golden Snitch. The dust really collects in the Castle. Especially with 7 Gryffindor’s in the house.
Dustpan was easy to use and empty. Even the youngest wizards can use it. It’s now hiding away until next Quidditch Game

My initial reaction, OH MY GOODNESS it has teeth! I’m pretty sure I went to housewife heaven the moment I saw this. Let’s face it, I am a mum but I definitely don’t have the strongest stomach so touching things like built up dust or dirt on my brushes just isn’t up there with my favourite things to do. The fact I don’t need to touch that stuff anymore, it’s like Christmas has come early!!!

At first I was a bit unsure if this was going to be worth its price however after using it a few times I definitely believe it’s a good purchase. I love it’s freestanding design – makes for easy storage. I love the wide pan and the high quality materials used to make both the pan and the brush. It’s great for cleaning quick messes up (which is all the time with a baby ????) and I use this product multiple times a day and love it!

This dust pan is the best of the best. I’m forever cleaning food crumbs off the floor, this pan picks all of the crumbs up in one go unlike other ones I’ve used. I like that the brush has rubber in the middle making it easier to pick the dirt up. Also like that the pan is wider aswell.

Every house needs a dustpan. I used to think the vacuum cleaner could suck everything up – but it can’t. Not so those bits of food that your baby or toddler throws on the floor. Which is where the dustpan comes in. It’s easy to grab and sweep up all those messes. The Oates dustpan is easy to hang in the broom closet and the ridges on the side are great to clean the bristles out of anything that gets stuck.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.
I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
What a great help for busy Mommas like us. From the style to comfort and convenience, this article really put the best for our kids. Not to mention the added info about safety on what these lunchboxes were made of! I am also impressed about the organisation function of each, it seems small but woooh could put so much…thanks for sharing this article
