Oh. My. God. I found this video again. I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid but could never remember the name of it when I tried searching for it. And now (incidentally after watching another video from my childhood about vacuums) it gets recommended to me. Finally I get to see it again. I don't care what anybody says about this video, I love it, and im so glad I found it once more after all these years.

I liked this when I was a kid and I still do. Even the part where he said “OH CRAP” “DOUBLE CRAP” made me laugh 😂

Coming back and watching this is awesome thank you for making my childhood!

I remember watching this so fondly as a kid, mainly because I was obsessed with vacuums. holy crap did this hit me with nostalgia, I watched it almost 10 years later

I remember watching this when I was 7. It was so weird to watch this again in 2021, at 21 years old. What made me look this up I have no idea.

I remember watching this when i was 5 i feel nostalgic

I remember watching this video, I was about 4 years old at my grandparents house in their computer, just watching vacuum videos because I was obsessed. And then I remember I saw this video and I thought it was scary, but I still finished the video. Now here I am, almost 16, and I just randomly woke up, went on KZfaq, and decided to try to find this video. I tried searching many times before but I could never find it. It almost had me thinking the video taken down. Then once I saw the mini dirt devil I knew this was the video, I clicked on it and there it was. Thank you for this little short vid, because it was defiantly one that fulfilled my childhood vacuum obsession

I remember watching this in my childhood

I watch this video when I was little. So many memories.

i remember watching this when i was way younger and I LOVED IT :D

That Hoover Spirit is in nice shape.

this out of all the vacuum cleaner stories was my fav, damn this brings back memories, and a heep of nostalgia from when i watched this at 5 years old. Time sure does fly.

Thanks for the question: We've collected them over the years. The canister was replaced by the upright. Everyone needs a dirt devil for the steps. The shop vac is for outdoor and really messy projects like deck building, concrete wall construction, etc. And you have to have a broom for sidewalks. I actually did not realize we had that many till someone suggested the project of using vacuums in a video.

I used to be fascinated by vacuums and watched this so many times I even started calling them ours the names in the video haha. Now I repair them :D

When I was a kid, I swore my grandma's Kirby was alive. This vid was too funny...I always thought those inanimate objects had minds of their own!

wow, this video is nostalgic to me! I used to love vacuum cleaners and have been trying to find this video for a while!

I know this might seem weird, yet I got the inspiration of naming vacuum cleaners from this video. I definitely remember this video when I was 8 or 9 years old, always made my day!

I used to be scared of vacuums because of this video 😂

I keep coming back to this! I was watching this since 2012, back when I was 3. Nothing can beat the original sweeping changes, not even the second version. This is 200% quality content :)

Does this look up anybody else’s childhood just like watching this video

Hello! Frequent watchers here too. Pure vacuum genius. My son and I are huge fans.

Stanley:big five we need you Rosie:I wanna help Candice:this may be to dangerous Rosie Stanley:big five big five Big five:you called Stanley:we have a job to do

LOL "BACK OFF STANLY"

I haven’t seen this video since I was 6 or 7, & I’ve been searching for it again for years

I was 5years old when I watched this and when i was 9 I found it again memories

This is the best film I’ve ever seen

I used to watch this video when I was little a lot and I love it! I’m also a vacuum cleaner collector too and this video was good and funny back in the day and it still is today! 😃

I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS (I remember seeing this back when I was 3 or 4), and I just turned 14 on friday. This was such a great masterpiece not even the second version can beat it.

Sweeping Changes 2 is coming out early April 2022 - finally - Yay!

That was so silly when the shop vac hose was trying to do suction on your chest which I think was giving u a kiss

Pure nostalgia! Definitely earns its place in the vacuum hall of fame!

That little red "Rosie" reminds me of one of the most recent posts in KZfaq history, not only about vacuums, but about anything that anyone could have posted. The video, itself, does not have much KZfaq history, yet, but the man who posted it speaks very highly of his little red 1992 Dirt Devil machine. He says that the little red machine still does him good, even today, this many years later! Nobody ever advertises that level of quality in cleaning machines, anymore. These days, it's all about big suction, no loss of suction, big amperage, no need to replace bags, and many other things that are so overrated. Bear with me if I sound harsh, but I wish that department stores sell more of those such quality machines as the above said little red Dirt Devil and even older vacs that still do people good, these days. I have had enough with these throwaway quality machines that they still make, these days! That above said man is a vacuum expert with the skills, necessary to refurbish a little red Dirt Devil and have it running like a champ again and now, it sounds like it has been through a time machine after having just left the factory that was there in 1992. Now, you have to go to a small vacuum shop if you want a true quality machine like that and they are WAY overpriced! Oh well. You only get what you pay for, right? When I see that little red "Rosie," I think of a machine that does more than just small spill clean-ups. Not only could that thing go in tight areas, where the big "Stanley" would not fit without its tools, that little red "Rosie" could go in there, equipped with a brush roll that had BEATER BARS! That thing could agitate the carpet, beat the carpet, loosen the dirt in the carpet, clean the carpet, lift the carpet, and groom the carpet, where the larger machines will not fit. I can just imagine seeing that little red thing go the necessary meters it takes to go from the first floor to the second floor, then double that amount if your house had three floors. That big "Stanley" would have been a hassle to use in those areas without its tools and its brush roll would have been too large. Those large brush rolls are only for large areas. Also, that robo vac is way overrated if you think it can replace all those machines, since it is not designed to clean carpets, but only solid floors. Imagine if you can shrink the size of a 1982 Hoover Convertible, shorter than two feet tall, with a six inch brush roll, and a small two amp motor. Given the same exact designs, that thing would begin to excell where that little red "Rosie" excells...in small carpeted areas, where those large machines do not fit and it would agitate and groom the carpet. Try to beat that, robo vac.

I love the noise it makes when candice turns on

I love sweeping changes, watched this when i was 3, now i’m almost 14, thanks 4 the memoriesssss!!

everybody gangsta til your vacuum plot against you

This is one of the first videos I ever watched on KZfaq

A classic I watched this when I was only 2 years old.

Why am I’m watching this at 2019 when it was in 2007

Big five LOL

I remember watching this when I was 8 years old I still like coming back to it once in awhile because with my original KZfaq channel you are spired me to start making a KZfaq content and it is a reminder every time when I come back to this video I have started on KZfaq 😀

Candice and big 5 is my favourite characters

My son LOVES this video! Thank you!!!

5:00 man seeing that then hilda come made me feel so good Idk why

pretty cool, nice to see one of those old Hoover Spirits still in use too!

Yeah, Stanley's a real look! And Big 5 is such a hunk. Thanks for watching.

What age groups would the vacuums fall into (mental age not physical)? Mainly because it appears that Stanley is rather young (I’d say he’s a teenager, based on his actions and dialogue), Rosie is a young child, Big 5 is another teenager, Candice is an adult, and Hilda is a senior.

I was already set to produce Sweeping Changes 2 - I wrote the script, learned some green screen techniques, I learned Blender software (for special effects), etc., but then other life events got in the way. Then I re-read the script, and I did not like it anymore. So, I've written a new script with a new modern twist. I hope you all will like it.

My wife & I controlled the vacs. It's a matter of framing the shot. You'll notice the very tops of the vacs/broom are never shown unless they're still. For Big 5 rolling in, we placed the vac at the ending position, then gently pulled the cord to move it off camera. In editing, we ran the footage backward, giving the appearance of it rolling in by itself. If want to see one of our goofs, pause the video at 4:43 & step through frame by frame. You'll see a hand at the very top for a few frames.

Vacuum alert vacuum alert we have a vac attack

You should make an updated version

i like the normal looking vacuum best

Dyson is the ONLY vacuum that has cyclone technology actually, so Stanley can get his facts right next time.

It’s like all of your vacuums were causing chaos in your house

Yes vacuum cleaner

THANKS TO EVERYONE over the years that got us to over 1,000,000 views. It was unexpected but really appreciated that people seem to like this quirky comedy. I hope you will also enjoy Sweeping Changes 2 (and any of my other videos) THANKS FOR WATCHING.

Your welcome. I'm glad he enjoys it.

My childhood has returned

Vac vac attack

I remember being super scared of this when I was 5

I wish there was a part 2

Talking Vacuums

That kinda looked real

This was my childhood i’m so happy i found it again

The shop vac is my favorite

Ive watched this atleast once a year since 2011

1:40 Mighty Dirt Devil

Do you still own any of the vacuums in this video? What do you own if not?

Love the smart vac!

I used to be so fuginn scared of vacuums after seeing this

Wow just came back to this video and I'm glad to find you planned filming for yesterday! When will it be live? :P I agree the Dyson hose splitting is quite annoying, luckily they're VERY easy to take apart, the hose unclips from the ball, they usually break when the hose is overstretched. Do you still like the Dyson overall? I'm wondering if you ever heard of Kirby vacuums, those are built to last

3:57 Big Five voice sound like Storm Trooper from Star Wars

I still enjoy watching this even though it’s sad

Those vacuums are talking that's so cool

he is skrewd.

I remember when I was younger and watched this

I'm just curious I have a few questions if you don't mind: 1) What made you get a Dyson? 2) What model is it? 3) What do you think of it compared to your other vacuums? 4) Would you consider doing a 2020 version of this video? this managed to get a lot of views and since it's an older video, older videos don't get as many views as videos that be uploaded in recent days I really look forward to hearing your responses :D

This video is the reason I always wanted a Eureka Smart vac, after 16 years I finally got one!! I love it so much 🤩 How is Stanley the Eureka doing?

R.I.P Rosie the vacuum

Talking vacuums

Sweeping is a hard shit

wow I am getting old I remember when this was brand new 11 years ago

To all my fans of this quirky video, I'm sorry to say that Rosie died a couple years ago :-(

Please make a sweeping changes 2

CameronCandace is my favorite vacuum cleaners

Where did you buy big5 my faviroute vacuum

Got to love that dirt devil hand vac

I am so sorry 😢

maybe they should’ve gone with Candace’s plan and asked Hilda for advice, then this would have never happened 😂

How did big five get up the stairs?

Lemme just *writes every word* *music* *calendar flashes* *paper flashes* *cutely makes coffee* *yawn* *sip* *sip* *calendar "Sarah returns **1:30**"* *clock noises* *rushing to get house clean* Tim: "aw, crap!" Tim: "Aw double crap!" Tim: "Theres gotta be an easier way to vacuum." *robot vac ad* Tim: "Thats it! I think i have time to get that before she arrives." *candace and stanley go into closet* *trips and falls cutely* *closet door opening* Stanley: "Candace, get out here. We've got trouble!" Candace: "Hold your cyclone vac, I’m coming!" *they both get outside, and roll to the carpet* Stanley: "I can't believe he wants to replace me after all I've done for him!" Candace: "I worked for him for years until i was closeted, then he got you..!" Stanley: "This is different.. i got all the cyclone suction and filtering (hope i heard that right), i got attachments on board, light, and i’m easy to handle! Why would he want to replace me with a robot vacuum?" Candace: "A robot, really? I’m a sucker for those younger vacs.." Stanley: "Don't give me that..! If he replaces me, he’ll replace you too. There's not enough room in the closet for all of us.." Candace: "I never thought about it like that! I surely don’t want to go to the old vac storage shed..! I’ve seen that place.. the others don't do anything all day.. but sit there and stare it the window!" Stanley: "Yes, it is sad, but i’m not ready for that now." Candace: "We should ask Hilda what to do! She and her advice-" Stanley: "No! I’m tired of her advice, besides.. there’s something spooky about her kind.." Candace: "Well, what are we going to do then?" Stanley: "I’m not sure, but i think we'll need some muscle. BIG5 WE NEED YOU!" Rosie: "i wanna help!" Candace: "this may be too dangerous, Rosie!" Stanley: "BIG5, BIG5!" Big5: "You called?" Stanley: "We have a job to do!" *spooky music* *tim wakes, and closed the closet door* Tim: "Huh?" *All the vacuums turn on, and abunch of fighting noises* *Hilda hops out* Stanley: "oh, bugga!" *hilda smacks big5, Rosie, and Stanley* Hilda: "What is the meaning of this?" Rosie: "It was Stanley’s idea!" Stanley: "Shut up Rosie!" Hilda: "Quiet!! Candace, what is happening here?" Candace: "Well Stanley here, thinks he'll be replaced by a robot!" Hilda: "Big5?" Big5: "Thats what i was told." *hilda turns to tim* Hilda: "it looks like you've gotten yourself into a little mess, but i can get you out of it, okay?" Tim: "uh huh!" Hilda: "do you promise to not replaces these tired excuses with a cleaning machine?" Stanley: "HEY!" Hilda: "Back off Stanley! Do you, do you?" Tim: "uh huh, uh huh!" Hilda: "good, Stanley and you other clowns, do you promise to leave the man alone?" All vacs: "uh huh.." Hilda: "good.." *hilda begins to open off* Stanley: "just like that, it takes all of-" Hilda: "yeah, just like that, but not because i say so, because (idk) says so, i felt threatened when new electric brooms came alone, but i know my strength, and since all of you came along, i’m still the easiest, and quickest to use on hard surfaces, i know my place." Hilda: "like Rosie knows her place, as a small clean up." Hilda: "No-one does better on stairs than Candace here." Hilda: "for cleaning those places that no-one wants to go, big5 is the one to go to." Big5: "uh huh" Hilda: "and for you Stanley, you'd become the standard! There is no robot, that can do as well as a standard." Hilda: "on the other hand, if i ever see you do this again, i will go in personally invite that robot to this home! Is that clear?" All vacs: "uh huh.." Hilda: "Good!" *hilda hops off* *tim crawls to his place* *tim wakes up* *he chuckles* Tim: "Talking vacuums.." *he grabs the paper* Tim: "Friday? Its always a day late!" *he tosses the paper* *he gets up and starts walking, the camera zooms into a mark on the back of his head* THE END! R.I.P ROSIE! :(

Thanks. I'm writing the sequel and talking with special effects people to have better action. I hope you'll like it.

You had some crazy sleep

I just got a comment the other day that said: "My 4 year old son is gifted in some areas, and he is obsessed with vacuum cleaners of all things! He LOVES your video and watched it quite often. He has named all of our vacuum's at home after the names in the video (Rosie, Big 5, etc..) and reenacts the video." I'm glad to entertain folks, but I did not expect this. Maybe some day we'll see a version with his vacuum instead of just mine. Thanks for watching.

Did he say double crap lol good replacement for cussing

I watched this when I was 6 and it scared me lol

I loved watching this in my childhood

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Vacuum Genius? LOL. You might also like "Vaczilla" one from a friend of mine, which was done for the same contest. Since they won't let me put a link in here, search KZfaq for "detfilms Vaczilla" - it will be the first to come up.

Vacuums can talk!.

ok i have a idea for sweeping changes 2 the husband replaces the vacuums with a dyson or robot vacuum and the vacuums that he thrrew out will come back after him but the new vacuum will stand up for the husband

Make a sweeping changes 2 make it like they find a dyson dc19 for carpet a Henry turbo for the stairs a dyson V8 for hard floors a Henry coordles for big five and dirt devil canister for Rosie
