Okay, I found the memory card for the camera so I will demonstrate.
Here's the tiny Bentley brush/broom I like
http://i1.tinypic.com/selird.jpg
This is how it's used I assume http://tinypic.com/sec014.jpg, and what
I meant with the wrist facing inwards, I am finding that using it
doesn't strain the wrist, I even cleaned an entire room with it,
starting with the intention of cleaning the details first and then
using a standing full length broom, but found myself content with just
sitting down while listening to some audiobook and using it for all.
As you can see it looks good, and it's inexpensive (=A30.49).
This is a more conventional brush/broom, it is a wrist killer, but I am
finding that it's much easier if I just keep the wrist still and just
move from the shoulder. I do not like this design, I much prefer the
angled brush/broom like the above.

This is the Bently angle full length standing broom. As you can see, it
is angled, it's good looking, it's very light, and it's inexpensive
(=A31.49).
http://i1.tinypic.com/seccq1.jpgIt also seems to generate static when
used and thus it attracts the hairs and some dust.
I really like brooms now. On my way to the kitchen I noticed some stuff
accumulating on the floor. I then picked up the full length broom and
broomed it off, and then found myself keeping on and within minutes I would
covered a significant area. I do not think I can stand vacuum cleaners
anymore for regular cleaning, though I may use one once a blue moon if
need be.
