This is somewhat different than my other Dirt Devil and my
Shark. The Shark has good suction and
decent tools but has no beater brushes.
My older red Dirt Devil has a removable hose and with a custom made, rube
goldberg narrowing attachment I can use it to get into tight spots in my
computers when I am too lazy to get out my computer vac. This vac does not have the ability to remove
the hose and put on attachments. It does
have a more powerful motor and a significantly stronger beater brush.
The filter is washable which is also a nice feature. Emptying it is quite simplistic, just
position your self over the trash can and flip up the release, shake (the
vacuum) and the dirt does a gravity dive into the trash.
Dirt Devil provides a suitably long cord so you are not
tethered on a tight leash. Pick up is
again above average and better than my older model Dirt Devil. While not as convenient as my dust busters,
this sucks infinitely better than they do.
Not often describing a product that sucks is a positive thing but in
this case it most definitely is a positive.
My pardon if the word sucks offends you but searching for a synonym that
as accurately describes the vacuum action was futile.
At $35 on Amazon it is a reasonable price for the
product. Of course Amazon has it priced
at $34.99 which is now $0.01 less than their free shipping event horizon. Therefore to get free shipping try and find
something for two cents to get you over their new and much resented $35.00 purchase
minimum.
I did not ding the vac for having no accessories, it does no
claim to have accessories so how can you complain about that. If you read the description, you should know
that. It did come with a back up beater
brush belt and a tool to help you install it.
I recommend a back up belt for any belt driven tool you use as the
famous Murphy will certainly appear when you can least likely to afford being
beltless. Overall a very nice little vac.
I did receive this for free to provide an honest review and
if I didn't like it, I would not pull any punches. (Don't believe me, check out some of my
other reviews.)
