The best vacuum I’ve had.,
I’ve done my research of several brands, and models of vacuums. I couldn’t afford the Dyson brand, and after perusing the reviews of comparable vacuums, I decided to take a leap, and buy it. I am pleasantly amazed of the pickup! I had tremendous amounts of dirt the first time I vacuumed. It seemed like I’d never swept my floor since I’ve moved in my house! I particularly liked the one touch lever to release the dirt directly into the trash. The cyclonic action advertised is tremendously powerful. If you don’t want to plunk down major money on a Dyson, this is definitely the vacuum to buy.

|I love this vacuum!,
I’ve never written an online review before, but I am so impressed with this vacuum, I just had to tell other people about it. Like the other reviews on here, I was AMAZED at how much dirt it sucked up the first time I used it. I had been using a Hoover upright, which I bought about 10 years ago, and I thought it was doing a decent job. Using it 2 weeks ago, something inside snapped and the unit stopped working. Figuring getting it repaired might cost almost as much as a new machine, I just decided to take the plunge and buy something new.
I had been thinking I’d get a Dyson. I had seen their clever commercials and was really motivated to upgrade to what appeared to be clearly superior technology. But I balked at paying $400+ for one, especially since it seemed that Dirt Devil, Hoover, and Eureka have all come out with similar ones for less than half. They may not have the exact same technology as Dyson, but for less than half the price, I decided to give it a try.
I can’t stress enough how impressed I’ve been with this Dirt Devil. Maybe the Dyson would perform even better, but it’s hard for me to imagine that. This Dirt Devil sucked up so much dirt that I had to empty the container after doing one room that had already been vacuumed a couple days earlier. It found hair from my dog that must have been embedded for years. And the dust — let me tell you, there was tons of it. The hepa filter must work well, because I never smelled that normal “dust smell” I used to get with my old vacuum — and I’m allergic to dust, and would always sneeze when vacuuming in the past, but have not had that problem with this Dirt Devil.
But beyond the suction, this is a great machine. I LOVE the rotating stair attachment. When I read about it, I figured it would be pretty lame — but the brush in it really rotates with a ton of power, and the suction is still powerful even when I’ve extended the hose up a flight of stairs. It got a ton of dirt out of my stairs — 10 stars out of 5, in my opinion! There’s another attachment with an angled tip that is great for getting into crevices in the couch, or where the carpet meets the baseboards. I was able to suck cobwebs out of the ceiling vent/fan in my bathroom just by pointing the crevice tool up toward the ceiling. Wow, was I impressed!
Putting the unit together right out of the box was also easy. Another review said the vacuum is heavy, but I don’t agree — it’s a lot lighter than my last upright. It is a little awkward to have an upright on the stairs while you clean them, and given that my stairs are long, I couldn’t leave the base unit at the bottom of the flight and just extend the hose to do the entire flight. I had to move the base until up onto the stairs in order to get to all of them, and it’s certainly light enough to do — but the unit won’t stay put on the stair (since it’s bigger than the stair itself), so you’ll have to keep a foot on it to hold it in place. But this is a problem you’d have with any vacuum, other than a really small one that is designed specifically for stairs (but then you probably won’t get the powerful suction this full size model gives you, either).
Finally, a comment about noise. I can’t compare this vacuum to other new models on the market, but compared to my 10-year-old Hoover upgright, this Dirt Devil is about half as noisy. I was shocked when I turned it on because it was so quiet, I thought maybe I didn’t fully engage the rotor brush or something. But no, it was certainly working, as I mentioned it picked up a ton of dirt in the carpet. So much in fact, I was a little embarrassed at how much dirt had obviously been in my carpet for the past 10 years!
I’ve only had the unit for 2 weeks, so who knows how reliable it will be — but it does have a 4 year warranty, which is the best I could find. So I can’t see how you can go wrong with this machine. I heartily recommend it — you won’t be sorry!
Oh, and back to Dyson. I think it’s human nature to feel like you get what you pay for. I haven’t used the Dyson, so maybe it is a miracle of innovation and is worth paying twice what the Dirt Devil costs… but I just can’t imagine that to be the case. Don’t let the good value of the Dirt Devil fool you — you aren’t being cheap or suffering quality for price on this one. You’re getting an EXCELLENT machine at a really good price. Dirt Devil should be rewarded for making such a good machine with great value, which is what motivated me to write this review in the first place.
