Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaners

Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners are said to be the most popular in the USA, and have a large range of products, including the usual upright and canister designs. The Reaction is one of the better and more popular upright models in the USA though Red Devil offers others for lighter or heavier cleaning work. The range varies from the advanced cyclone technology of the 'i' model, to the simplicity of the Dynamite which is lightweight and suitable for quick pick-ups of occasional spills.

There hand vacuums are good for upholstery, and also for the car, and find a lot of use in cleaning up minor spills. But it is the vacuum brooms, or stick vacuums, that are preferred for small areas like home offices, bathrooms or dressing rooms and similar small areas.

The following are some of their major positives and negatives:

Pros

• A good range of products suitable for most requirements. Some say it is too wide, but the final word rests with the customer.

• The advanced Dirt Devil 'i' range maintains suction power due to the bagless cyclonic action of dust collection. It is the flagship of the range, and suitable for both hard floors and carpets. The rotating brush is great for pet hairs and stairs, and the 12 amp motor provides a reasonable amount of power.

• The Power Streak bagless canister also has a 12 amp motor, and is more reasonably priced. This also has a motorized brush and a hand-tool that is great for stairs.

• The Vision bagless canister cleaner has a power nozzle that is up to any cleaning job asked of it. The wands are long to allow easy access to those high curtains and pelmets and also to remove cobwebs from the corners of your ceiling.

• The Swift Stick is a cordless and bagless cleaner excellent for cleaning up occasional small spillages.

• The hard surface cleaner is a good option for keeping hard surfaces looking clean and spruce. It saves you getting on your hands and knees and does an excellent job.

• The Kone, designed by the famous designer Karim Rashid, is so attractive that it can be left on a table, or display unit, without looking out of place. It is also a very functional and powerful hand vacuum cleaner that comes in a variety of colors, and quietly glows when it is being recharged.

Cons

• Noisy: they tend to be slightly noisier that some other vacuums.

• In some cases the filters tend to clog up with a fine dust. This shows that the vacuum is doing its job, though the filters sometimes need cleaned while being used.

• At 12 amps, the most powerful model is still a bit weaker than other makes can offer, important for such jobs like lifting pet hairs.

Apart from the flagship 'i' series, exemplified by the M130000 which list for over $260, they are very reasonable priced. If you shop around you will be able to find them well below the list price. If you are looking for a general purpose domestic vacuum cleaner, the there is little wrong with a Dirt Devil.
