Dirt Devil DD150SL

Advantages: Small portable vacuum ideal for samll spaces and tight stowage
Disadvantages: Fiddle to fit flexible long reach hose

...Advantages: Compact, powerful and effective Simple to use and easy to stow, we keep one of these handy little gadgets on the boat. Where electric power is available its so much easier than the traditional dustpan and brush. The brush head rotates as it sucks, driven by a rubber band. It seems primitive but is very effective, even able to draw dust from fairly deep pile carpet and soft furnishings. The black cover on the front is removable to access the rubber band and the drive shaft. Here you can fit a flexible suction hose for long reach and crevices etc. We never bother with this, its simply not worth the palaver! The dust trap bag fits simply onto the back of the motor with a rubber collar and is very easy to fit and remove. It also has the advantage of collapsing down to filled capacity which is very useful for stowing in...

Dirt Devil MVP Swivel Glide Vacuum

Advantages: Brought up dirt I didn't know I had.
Disadvantages: Harder to push than I thought.

...We moved to America around 15 years ago with only 2 suitcases, and shipped 3 tea chests. These were personal items, and arrived 3 months later. We bought a Eureka upright vacuum and it was still going strong 9 months ago. We had seen on television and in the newspapers, bagless vacuum cleaners with hepa filters. We decided that when they came below $200 (£130) we would purchase one. We love to go to "Sams Club", part of the Wal-mart chain, and they had a great offer on. Dirt Devil MVP swivel glide Vacuum M086420 for $179 (£115). The best part of this deal included a free Dirt Devil corded hand vac worth $39 (£25). We jumped with delight and purchased it immediately. My husband loves to hoover. My friends laugh when I say this, as it is a brand name, they say vacuuming. He tried it out. We have 1,700 square feet of area. He...

Review of Dirt Devil DDCYL6

A Devil of a Hoover!

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see op

...Like all the people who seem to write vacuum cleaner reviews on Ciao, I had a Dyson, but with excessive cleaning and general wear and tear, my Dyson began to fall to pieces and I decided to treat myself to a new cleaner. I say treat but as I have very little funds for nice new hoovers I had to settle with what I could afford. I went along to my local Comet, where prices are said to be low all the year round. I looked at their aisle full of fancy and dare I say, quite sexy little numbers!! All colours. I could have coordinated my hoover with my whole house if Id wished!! Unfortunately sex appeal costs and I was left with the choice of one hoover - The Dirt Devil DD6114 Upright Vacuum Cleaner. DD6114 is classic Dirt Devil colour, bright red with black attachments. It is a pretty basic cleaner with hose attachment and upholstery brushes...

Review of Dirt devil

Dirt Devil Pet Patrol...what a (fallen?) angel!

Advantages: Makes quick work of the stairs
Disadvantages: Only seems to be avail at Argos. See updates.

...terrified of breaking it. I think once I have finally managed to finally get rid the dust and filth the previous owners of this house left behind that I will begin to love the little devil once again when I can just use it for the purpose I bought it for which was to do the stairs in a flash (rather than emptying twenty times!). ORIGINAL REVIEW: Having spent years either risking life and limb battling with a heavy vacuum (and associated cables and tubes) to do it or avoiding doing it for so long that I had to climb over a mountain of crumbs and dirt to get upstairs, I finally decided to buy a hand held, cordless 'dust buster' style product to get on top of one of my most hated chores. The main criteria that I was looking at were price, suction and weight. And, although I couldn't find any reviews on this product, I opted for the Dirt...

Review of Dirt Devil DD109

Dirt Devil Vision M086925 Vacuum

Advantages: 12 amps of power for super suction!
Disadvantages: The size is the only downfall here

...How many vacuums can a person go through before they find the one that works just right? Well, for me I went through one to many. I wanted a bag less vacuum with a lot of power and for a fairly good price. I shopped around and compared prices and finally I chose the Dirt Devil Vision Model 086925. Having an ever shedding Dalmatian and a long haired cat, I needed something to get up all that hair and with the 12 amps of power I get from the Dirt Devil; I have finally won the pet hair war. For $149.00 I definitely got my moneys worth. The Swivel Glide is loaded with extras like a non-slip handle because you never know when you may lose your grip and your vacuum and a headlight for when you get the desire to clean in the dark and of course places not well lighted in your home. The dirt container is large enough for whole house...

Review of Dirt devil

I LOVE MY RED DEVIL

Advantages: It's light and easy to handle.
Disadvantages: Larger vacuums do work better.

...When we moved from Edmonton to Victoria we sold our Hoover and bought a Dirt Devil because it was much smaller and easier to use. We bought it from London Drug Store where we always buy our electrical things. We did not look at any other Vacuum Cleaners because I had my heart set on a Dirty Devil. The Model we bought was the "Ultra Model 8230". Our Dirt Devil is red and made of a high impact plastic. This Model is a small hand held one. It comes with a 4-amp motor, the cord is about twenty inches long, a place to store the cord inside the Vacuum, a long nozzle, ( that is at least 6 inches long) and it has a dual cleaning edge that can become a blower when you reverse the switch. There is a built in an adapter, one revolving brush, (for place that are hard to clean), a hose that stretches out, a cloth bag that can we shake...

Little Dirt Devil Does A Great Job

Advantages: easy to use and easy to clean up and store
Disadvantages: none

.... The model number is 8230 and it is the traditional red that only Dirt Devil has! Assembly is very easy of this unit. You simply put the hose into the opening on the nozzle found on the top right hand side and twist to align the tabs to lock. Then you insert the pointed end of the crevice tool into the hose for storage, turn it the opposite when you want to use it. And of course take it out when you want to use just the hose. There is a clip for the hose as well when you are not using it. This unit comes with a bag option (bag type G) if you want to use it. I like this feature because I don’t have to clean the units bag out. I simple take the paper bag out and throw away when full. There is also a belt (belt style 1), which is easy to change. All you do is remove the hose from the unit by rotating the cuff counter clockwise...

Review of Dirt devil

It's a devil alright

Advantages: Looks nice
Disadvantages: Useless

..., which catches all the rubbish. I say ALL and I suppose strictly speaking that is accurate, because this little cloth bag looking thing filters anything it picks up. Now that's the problem????.after charging for the stated period, and removing the charging cable I assumed I was ready to go, and indeed I was. Unfortunately the pretty looking blue plastic Dirt Devil, which was sounding like it could pick up the whole car never mind the small amount of crumbs, was in no such mood. I could hear the little motor whirr away and sounding very powerful, but place it near the crumbs and a few disappeared. I initially thought???you're a guy and haven't a clue how to vac, but then thought heck it can' be rocket science, put the vac to the dirt and it picks it up. As I said it picked up the smallest particles but the larger ones although in...

Review of Dirt Devil DD 039

Better The Devil You Know

Advantages: Excellent suction, cheap
Disadvantages: Heavy, noisy

...and buy a more expensive machine. Again purse strings prevailed and the machine I ended up with was a Dirt Devil DD9002. Opinion on Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners seems to vary dramatically, it would seem people either love them or hate them (a bit like Marmite but with more suction power!) Dirt Devil ?Rascal? hand vacuuming units are well known and I?ve always found them really reliable, but I hadn?t realised that Dirt Devil make full sized machines. Of course the old adage ?You get what you pay for? certainly comes into play here ? this machine is no Dyson but for £78 you shouldn?t be expecting Dyson quality and personally I love it. The two things I was looking for in a vacuum cleaner were that it was bagless and upright?oh and not made by Sanyo after my last vacuum cleaner experience. This little baby fits the bill on those counts but...
