Dirt Devil Reviews

I've been using the Dirt Devil hand held vac for at least 12 yrs., I would not be without one! I'm going on my second now, mine just died. The paper bag adapter is essential, it beats going outside and standing there beating the bag against the wall being engulfed with dust. With the bag adapter you just simply toss it out and replace it. Also, it lasts a long time between changing.

I just got this vacuum. It was missing a wand, the screw, or whatever, that holds the top to the bottom, and the petal that allows you to go to different heights was broken. I also didn't get any instructions, or warantee card.
HOWEVER, I did use it to see if it was as good as all the Amazon reviewers reported. It is!!! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and it sucked up all hair and then some. I only wish that it had come in better condition since my old vacuum is broken, and I really don't want to go without a vacuum for another two weeks.

With 7 cats and 3 dogs in our household we have our share of pet hair and dirt. When the DIRT DEVIL PLATNIUM FORCE vacuum arrived I had just vacuumed with my upright EUREKA. I decided to put the Dirt Devil Platnium Force to a test, it passed with flying colors!!!! I was amazed by how much dust,dirt,pet hair was collected in the dirt cup, even though I had just vacuumed. The carpet was visibly much cleaner after using the Platnium Force .It has teriffic suction, and I love the no bag design and the fact I do not have to worry about belts breaking. I especially love the 32 foot power cord, I can go from room to room with no problem! I also tried in the kitchen on the tile floor and it did a great job there too, it sucks the dirt in , unlike the Eureka that tends to blow it around instead of sucking it up. The fact that it is a reconditioned machine is not at all visible, it looks like a new machine, runs like a new machine and comes with a one year warranty.It is a little heavier than most machines but I find it to be more stable, ( it did not tend to fall over like lighter weight machines I have had). It is a nice looking machine. I feel the price makes it an excellent value. It is easy to remove and empty the dirt cup, and has nifty clips to hold the attachments securely. I have owned Hoover and Eureka vacuums both uprights and canisters , Dirt Devil is by far the best.Dirt Devil has done it again!!

I tend to be one of thoese bachelors who breaks their vacum and every 6 months, and this one has already passed the test. From first use you can tell this Dirt Devil is very powerfull, and when you turn on the brush, WOW!I really doubt I will need to buy a new vacum soon, and the price I got on amazon saved me an arm and leg!

It does the job. Use it to pick up dirt, hair & things. Keeps a charge fine. Nice slick design. Handy little dustbuster...good value for the twenty dollars I spent. Huzzah.

It's true value for money.Quite handy and easy to use on Sofa,bed where you do not want to use your regular vacuum.It's pretty light weight too.With the two select speed you can use it with other surfaces too.Won't replace your bigger vacuum but handy,easy to clean,light weight.

Good to have it as a second vacuum.

This vacuum cleaner is ALWAYS getting clogged. It was difficult to assemble. That makes replacing the belt extremely frustrating (yes, in one year it has needed several replacements). The onboard tools fall off.

Dirt Devil should pay me for the time and trouble this awful piece of junk has caused me. Buy something else.

I had the dirtdevil swivel glide for a little under a year. Before my misfortune I had been satisfied with this product and really did enjoy cleaning my home. However, a month ago and for some strange reason the vacuum picked up an odor that I just could not stomach. As any housewife would then do, I elected to have it serviced. I was told the vacuum only needed a belt and some general cleaning. Although,Low and behold when I went to pick up my very missed household helper I was told my vacuum cleaner was given to another customer in error. Was I ever furious. The dealer even had the nerve to ask me if I would settle for a used replacement. Using another person vacuum was strickly out of the question. I am certain you already know what my respone was to this suggestion. All I want for Christmas is my own vacuum or a new Dirtdevil swivel glide with the same features if not better, and no negotiation for a used subsitute, nor do I wish to bargan for a lessor model.The mistake that was made is not my problem. Doing without my vacuum cleaner is my problem. This is a situation that needs to be resoved ASAP by given me a new vacuum and not offering me a used replacement. Don't you agree? I welcome your comments.

I don't know why this vaccum has gotten these bad reviews. The people must be vaccum abusers or something. I've had this vaccum for years and neglect it often and it is still doing great. If it clogs they are super easy to get out and just today, about 4 years after I purchased it do I need to buy a new belt. For the price you won't find anything better. The attachments are great and it keeps my house nice and spify. We allmost sprung for a new one but I popped the hood and it was just a belt that needed replaced. (It's the first time I popped the hood after 4 years too) To get a clog out of the tube you can just take it off and give it a shake, if that doesn't work I put the end of my broom through it and the clog is gone. For a cheaper vaccum this one really does the job!!! I've even sucked up legos! This is the only one you will need.

The Dust Devil by Dirt Devil worked great for the 4 months I was able to use it. It suddenly stopped charging and eventually ran out of juice.

I have put this into my "Do not buy" list for breaking after an estimated 30 uses.

I live in a 3 story house with mostly hardwood floors. This hand vac has been great for slurping up the dust that accumulates on the staircases and for picking up lint and dust on ceramic tile in the bathrooms and laundry. For dense carpeting, it's only so-so. If you have mostly hard floor coverings, this unit should do the trick.

I purchased this product because of my Grandchildren and found that it works great. It picks up all their cookie and bread crumbs and my Grandson thinks it is great fun to do it himself, an added bonus.
