Dirt Useless! Noisy,engine cuts out, bad suction

Advantages: Looks like it Works!
Disadvantages: Doesn't Work!

Dirt Useless! I bought the DDCYL5 on 9/12/2007, I returned it to the shop 2 days later, dead & v.disappointed. Not easy to use because of the filters , & brushes becoming blocked in the 1st hrs of use. I bought it for a friend, I have a Henry, myself for over 8 yrs & although it hadn't broken down, I thought I'd buy something different, that appeared to have more power. Surprisingly this model doesn't come close to the cleaning power of a Henry, ...
...to Henry's 1200w & DDCYL's 340 air watts vs Henry's 240 air watts, the suction just stops intermittently due to filter problems, the turbo tool stopped turboing. The extremely noisy engine, overheated, & stopped every 2 hrs of use so I had to wait 2-3hrs to do the next 2 rooms. The only positive I can say was it looked like nice. I bought a new henry instead its much more reliable & everyone I know has had theirs for over 8 years. £69 for something ...

Review of Dirt Devil DDCYLBG5

Dirt Devil Hoover

Advantages: extremely light and easy to use
Disadvantages: you need to remove hair from hoover accessories

...stairs and holds alot of dirt before emptying. You could say its a bit pricey at £50's and over but once you use it, its more than worth it! The huge amount of great accessories you get with this hoover, for the car, pets , stairs and wooden floors is overwhelming! The only complaint is that if you have animals and are using the wooden floor brush, which also brushes carpets by the way, you need to clean the head as its long and the hairs get caught ...

Review of Dirt Devil DDCYL6

Durability

Red Devil Cleaner

Advantages: Cost and efficiency
Disadvantages: A little lumbering, filters a pain to clean

...most frustrating. Whilst a dirt trap and a filter may seem appealing (and even spare filters are supplied with the cleaner), the removal and clean up of same is a work up in itself. The pictures show just rinsing said filter under the tap. In your dreams.......much more vigorous sloshing and water everywhere is the truth. This needs to considered against the cost and convenience of just throwing away a paper sac. Otherwise the cleaner is well made, ...

Review of Dirt Devil DDCYL2 Bagless Cylinder

Durability

blockages every five minutes on the Electrolux Vitesse

Advantages: looks nice and has decent suction
Disadvantages: blocks up very quickly because of its design, requires frequent cleaning of filter

...picky but that's exactly what Electrolux told me when I complained to them. You have to clean the filthy, dusty filter every week, and you have to unblock the hose every five minutes .... Emptying a bag from a bag vacuum cleaner is infinitely more hygienic than maintaining this machine. Don't even consider buying one of these, it's frustrating and Electrolux customer service don't care. 'No-one else has complained about it' they said, insultingly. ...

vax life cordless upright cleaner

Advantages: cordless and powerful
Disadvantages: none that i know off

in my opinion the vax upright cleaner is lightweight and very easy to use. this stylish cleaner is ideal especially for people who feel ordinary cleaners are to heavy to push around. it has a re-chargable battery that lasts long enough to clean the whole house without running out of charge. i think for such a lightweight and cordless cleaner it is very powerful. the suction is excellent and it is very easy to empty. most of all i like the fact that ...
