Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dirt Devil 091020V Vibe Bagged Upright
Customer Review: great product!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had a dirt devil before, but it was probably more than 10 years old, and it still worked great. So when I moved and gave away the old one, I wanted another dirt devil. Please note that I was looking for just a vacuum, not the fancy carpet shampooers or the steamers with the vacuums. I believe one specialty in an appliance is more stable.
Anyway, I don't like the bag less vacuums, because of the flying dirt and the pain of allergies when you have to manually empty out the plastic bags. Also, light ones are very flimsy and usually are not powerful enough to get things like hair off the carpet. This was exactly what I was looking for: 12 amps (powerful enough), with bags (I just pop them out when full and throw them out), a very long cord and wheels (so I eve drag it outside to car and vacuum the seats sometimes). Best of all it was half off when I found it at Amazon. For 40$ I couldn't find a better deal. I have had it for almost 6 months, and am very satisfied.
Customer Review: Very good vacuum, GREAT DEAL
Summary: 4 Stars
It's hard to admit to even a teensy complaint when you got a $90 vacuum for $30 and it arrived THE NEXT DAY. FOR FREE. But... yes, it is very heavy/hard to maneuver and noisy. And as someone else said, the long cord--while great for using the vacuum over large areas--requires a lot of babysitting while you're vacuuming. However, it works well and shows up pretty much fully assembled.
Here's where it loses a star: 1) The weight... women, especially small ones, be warned. 2) Instructions are worthless. Like there's a dial for different carpet thicknesses, but no explanation of what the settings mean. They're just lines. I gave up setting it on one line, moving vacuum to see what happens... trying the next line, moving vacuum to see what happens... etc. And there's nothing in the instructions to explain it (unless I'm a total idiot, which I'm not ruling out).
But all in all, I'm glad I bought it.
Customer Review: Great for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually stopped vacuuming to enter this review! For $40.00 (with free shipping!) this is a great vacuum. It has amazing suction--especially on rugs. I was able to move seamlessly to my hardwood floors and it does a good job. I agree with previous reviewers that it does throw up some dirt, but my old vacuum did too, and didn't have anywhere near the suction of this one. It is a bit heavy, fine for me, but possibly more than some finer boned folk would want to heft around. And the cord is a little obnoxious (it anchors low on the unit, so I often run over it). Not a major minus, though--I just hold it up more carefully. More plusses: it has a HEPA filter that you change once a year. The instructions were very simple and it feels like I'll be able to maintain the vacuum easily. Overall, I am very very pleased and feel like I got an outstanding deal!Customer Review: A great Vacuum under $100
Summary: 4 Stars
we just bought this vacuum at the right time judging our shift to a new apartment. Cleaned really well the old home where carpets really dirty and there were many unused areas with accumulated dirt on it. And back the new home, where the carpets are new, but had some dirt toppings. It was easier to get them off, especially we liked the adjustments for the floor hight. Sound: ask the next room mate 'did you hear anything?'. An absolute calm operation!!! good.. So works well as thought, and we got in a discount, so a great vacuum under $100[we got much below this price].
A suggestion, so keeping 4 stars: the manual for use/assembly really few sheet of papers. Recommend to be like a hardcover book,to preserve.
Customer Review: Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner
Summary: 4 Stars
This vacuum cleaner was a very pleasant surprise. Since it was so inexpensive ($60), I wasn't expecting a vacuum with so much suction. It is much more powerful than my Hoover and cost half as much. There are two negatives I can easily live with: 1) the cord comes out of the vacuum very low to the floor and can easily get run over with the vacuum; and 2) when using the hose extension attachment, it falls off easily and is a bit of a nuisance. I particularly like one feature, which is that the attachments are used when the handle is in the upright position, and the down position is for carpet vacuuming. In other words, no manual setting is necessary.
