"Complete waste of money"
I bought this vacuum to clean my staircase and our cars. I selected this item because of the detachable head with the spinning brush.

Well, to make a short story shorter, it broke after 5 minutes. The brush head just stopped spinning and wouldn't spin again. The belt didn't break, not exactly sure what happened. This occured under light use.

For about 4.5 minutes, I was impressed by the unit, because the filter seems good and the motor/suction powerful. BUT, there is a major design flaw with the detachable head to have broken so easily.

I am really disappointed. I never bought a Dirt Devil product before this one. I had always heard good things about their products. This one is a real dud, however.

I would strongly recommend that you consider another hand-held vacuum, to save you the time and trouble of having to return this one.

"Poor at cleaning pet hair"
The good: Strong suction, long cord, and bagless
The bad: Extremely loud and spinner bar is useless.

If you want to purchase a great little hand held for cleaning pet fur from furniture and stairs, purchase the "Eureka 71A Hand-Held Vacuum" instead. Its brush also slows on surfaces, but it is belt driven and works much better than this Dirt Devil.

"Revolving Brush does nto revolve"
The vaccuum itself works fine, but the 'air-driven' rotating brush is as useless as can be. After one use, it is clogged up with dog hair and does not spin anymore. Even when it does spin, it does nto spin with any amount of force, i.e. you can stop it with your finger or just by pressing it against anything, (like the carpet it should be cleaning)

A better choice is the 'Ultra' model with a powered head. It is cheaper and works far better. But it needs bags.

"Try the Eureka 71A instead......"
I was going to by one of these dirtdevils until I read the reviews. My parents have one of the older models of this unit with the two ELECTRIC motors. A turbo brush is useless. After reading the reviews and searching, I bought a Eureka 41A handheld. That one surpassed my expectations by far and it has a powerful brush (which can be turned off witht the flick of a switch for hard surfaces), it has excellent suction, a crevise tool, and on-board cord storage. It's in a whole different league from the dirt devil for only a few dollars more.

"The Dirt Devil is perfect for stairs..."
The Dirt Devil is great, because it can be used in two different ways. First, it can be used as a bagless hand vacuum making it easier to clean dirt in hard-to-reach places. And, it can be used as a mini-canister vacuum by sliding the power head off to clean stairs, upholstery, or my car.
For tight spaces, the Dirt Devil has a hose and crevice tool.
It has a clear dirt container that is easy to empty. The 20-foot power cord is a nice feature.
My i-Robot Roomba handles the rest of the house, so vacuuming is not a chore anymore!

What our customer's say!

"I'd say it sucks...", But that'd be a compliment. I got one of these as a gift to use on stairs, couches, and corners my upright doesn't reach. The body of the machine is bulky and difficult to handle. The beather head rarely spins freely or at an effective speed, regardless of how clean the head is and whether it's touching something. The hose that allows you to remove the beater head and attach a crevice tool to is too short. The vents on the body of the vacuum blow dirt away from the hose when you try to use it. The vacuum also spins around and doesn't sit upright if you attempt to let go of the handle while using the hose attachments. The hose is clogged about 95% of the time, even if I'm trying to suck up sand or something fine.

This is really one of the most impressively designed machines I've ever used. It's terrible. The long cord is great, but what good is that if you can't use the vacuum??

"WORST little vac ever bought", I wouldn't even give this one star, but evidently for this site I need to include it. Unfortunately I didn't see all these reviews on this website. We have had this vac for less than a year & I primarily have my kids use it to vacuum steps and odd jobs. Well the few times I have used it, I HATE IT. I like to use it for around the edges of the hardwood floor in the kitchen and all it does is blow dirt around so I am looking like a madwoman trying to "catch" the swirling dirt. The effective warranty date on the bottom of the vac says 12/07, which tells me that was probably the manufacture date. Less than a year ago and they were still producing this vac and had it on the market. Look back at all these reviews to see there has been issues with this vac since at least 2005 maybe 2003. If there is a new model it sure took long enough. I hope these are off the market and DO NOT WASTE your hard earned money. I only wish I would have looked here first.

"Worthless - A broom is better!", I owned a DD handvac 20 years ago that was wonderful. Bought this unit last year and it barely cleaned from the moment we opened the package.It has a filter core that immediately collects all the debris around it and clogs which causes the rotary brush to stop spinning and reduces the air suction power to almost nothing. Really bad engineering design. Do not buy this unit! Complete waste of money.

"Absolutely worthless!", I bought this to clean my stairs. It did a poor job the first time around and just went downhill from there. The spinner bar does not work, it's extremely loud and it vibrates so much it's uncomfortable to hold onto. All in all, a complete waste of money.

"Don't waste your time or money", After our older hand held Dirt Devil died (gave us 20 yrs of great, reliable service!) I was sure a newer DD model was what I wanted. I could not have been more disappointed. The brush doesn't spin on carpeting. Dust blows out both side vents. It has very little suction, and basically didn't do a thing.

I need a good sturdy handheld to do our stairs. We have 2 Golden Retrievers so a good unit with powerful suction and a reliable beater-brush is a MUST. I returned this useless vacuum to Walmart and will likely purchase a Black & Decker Retriever having read good reviews about it.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Don't waste your money", Bought this for de-hairing my couch of pet hair. While it did so once or twice withouth much fuss, you spend an amazing amount of time trying to de-hair the filter. They say to just pound out the filter and the debris will fall out. Right.

Worse is that the power nozzle section just up and quit. Try to debug the issue on their website is pointless. All you can do is try to re-align the hose back and forth....no change. So now I have this pointless little mini-vac.

Save your time, money and frustration. Move along to something else. There's a reason why this thing has so many negative reviews.


"So Disappointed!", I needed a handheld with a rolling brush to get the cat hair off my couch. The brush is okay as long as I VERY lightly touch it to the cusions. The problem is, if I put ANY pressure on it at all, the brush stops moving! I even put my hand against the brush and, you guessed it, it stops moving!
This product does not have enough power to keep the brush rotating.
Also, the filter idea is a bad one if you have asthma. The filter gets coated with dirt and hair but the instructions say NOT to "wipe" the filter so you have to vigorously tap it out in the garbage which creates a cloud that gets inhaled.

"Buy the Classic", Buy the Classic Dirt Devil - not this one. The brush is air driven and stops whenever it comes in contact with a carpet etc. Basically a useless vac.

"Blows more dirt around than it picks up", I was initially disappointed in this unit's awkward design and heaviness. I was thoroughly disgusted, however, when I tried to use it on our staircase: it blows so much air out the back I could see the dust and dirt whirl far away even as I tried to vacuum it up. It really has no extra "reach" via its hose because if you turn it around to get the benefit of the length of the hose, that blast of exhaust air is aimed even more accurately at whatever you were trying to clean. Ridiculous!! This vac is a design disaster.

"not very practical", Used it three times & gave it away. the filter clogs too easy. I had an old one with a cloth bag and that one lasted 10 years. That's what you should look for.
