Description of DIRT DEVIL M0216SPC KURV Cordless Rechargeable Hand Vac (Spice)The Dirt Devil KURV vacuum has a simple, elegant shape that you can proudly display in any room. As the latest design from Karim Rashid, the KURV is a rechargeable, cordless hand held vacuum cleaner with convenience in mind. Use the KURV for daily upkeep and for crumbs and dust and spills that happen frequently. KURV the way you think about vacuuming. Always Charged, Always Ready. With its sinuous curves and elegant keyhole-shaped vents, Dirt Devil's Kurv looks more like a space-age vase than a household cleaning product. And while it picks up crumbs, dust, and spills just as well as your averagely ugly cordless handheld vacuum, the machine's aesthetics are its major drawing card. Created by renowned industrial designer Karim Rashid, the Kurv is stylish enough to leave out on the counter or coffee table, where it's more likely to come into play sooner--before the Cheerios are ground into the Karastan, in other words, or just as the last-minute guests are due to arrive. The cordless design plugs into a charging base for storage, so the unit is always ready to go, and the dirt cup simply twists off to empty, sparing users the hassle and expense of disposable bags. Weighing in at just two pounds, the Kurv also features a replaceable filter and a soft tip, to protect delicate surfaces like hardwood floors or antique furniture. It comes backed by a limited three-year warranty. --Mary Park
Tools and Hardware Reviews of DIRT DEVIL M0216SPC KURV Cordless Rechargeable Hand Vac (Spice)Customer Review: LOVE IT Summary: 5 Stars
I know there are many mixed reviews for the Kurv, (I should know, I generally review the heck out of something before I make a decision especially with online purchases), but I 'bit the bullet' and placed the order anyway. My husband and I have 1 German Shepherd and 3 cats. It goes without saying our house is usually covered in pet hair, within hours of a thorough vacuum session. We used to 'plug in' our shop-vac every other day, and it still felt like we couldn't get to the bottom of the hair mess, so to speak. WE LOVE THE KURV. No it doesn't have a lot of suction power, but it's not a shop-vac, it was never meant to be -- we did not expect it to be able to suck puddle of water or industrial amounts of gravel and what not. It does blow the loose fur a bit around when you get close enough to 'suck it', but so does our shop-vac, not an inconvenience there, you just have to be relatively quick with it, can't move towards the pile of mess in slow-motion like you're afraid you're gonna spook it or something. I am generally small boned, small hands and all, and never had a problem getting a good grip on the Kurv's handle. Bottom line, I use it for 1 or 2 minutes every day when I get home from work, vacuum the random fur bunnies - and I haven't had to plug in the industrial shop-vac in more than a month. My mom came over and for once she was 'shocked' there was no fur hair flying around the house. There are three little 'bad' points, if you're considering the Kurv. Don't expect it to vacuum carpets. We have all hardwood floors and ceramic tiles, therefore it works great for us. It does not really work on the area rugs, but we don't mind that since we generally take those outside for a good 'shake' once a week. It also does not work wonders on cat litter. It works, just takes a little longer to pick up the mess, does not perform miracles as with the loose pet fur. The last down side is not really a down side, as it is to be expected. I wish the little bag that holds the dirt was a little bigger volume wise, as I have to empty the cup after every other vacuuming session. But then again, for what it is, GREAT PRODUCT, LOVE IT.
