Vacuum Reviews

Okay, so you want to buy yourself a Dirt Devil hand vacuum cleaner. Fine, but which among the many models of handhelds made by Dirt Devil would you choose?

Finding a Dirt Devil Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Fortunately for you, it is easy to search for a Dirt Devil hand vacuum. One only needs to go to Dirt Devil’s website at www.dirtdevil.com, or through e-commerce websites like Amazon (www.amazon.com).

In choosing your handheld cleaner, pay close attention not only to the features, but also to what previous buyers of the products say. Since you are unable to test the item, these comments give you a glimpse on the actual features that the cleaner is likely to exhibit. Sellers, after all, would say anything just to make sure their products are bought by consumers.

User comments are available from different sites, like Amazon, as well as Epinions (www.epinions.com) and ReviewCentre (www.reviewcentre.com).

Looking at the product’s specifications is also important since it can help you decide whether or not a specific Dirt Devil hand vacuum model is the right one for you.

Enough about that. Let us now take a look at what options you have in your search.

Dirt Devil M0100 Classic

An improvement over the original Dirt Devil, the M0100 handheld cleaner packs more than twice the power of its predecessor. With its 7-ampere motor, a motorized brush unit, and a five-piece tool set, this Dirt Devil hand vacuum cleaner can be used to get rid of dirt and debris from a variety of surfaces including drapes and upholstery, among others.

Its tools include a 24-inch hose, an extension wand, a crevice tool, and dusting and upholstery brushes.

Unlike most handheld vacuum cleaners, the M0100 Classic has a 20-foot power cord making it ideal for cleaning a wide area using just one outlet alone. It comes equipped with a HEPA system that traps dirt and allergens into an easy-to-empty dirt cup.

08220 Scorpion Quick Flip

Convenient for cleaning the whole house, the 08220 Dirt Devil hand vacuum cleaner comes with a shoulder strap that makes it easy for you to carry the cleaner around the house. With a shorter power cord – at 16 feet – than the M0100 Classic, you get a lesser range but not less than the power. It carries the same 7-ampere motor that the M0100 Classic carries.

The 08220 comes equipped with a flip-down crevice tool so you could reach into places you wouldn’t normally be able to reach. Its flip-down design also makes sure that you do not misplace the tool in storage-an ideal feature for those who are always in a hurry. Other tools include a hose that has an upholstery brush attached to it.

Like the M0100, the 08220 Scorpion is bagless, which means it uses a dirt cup to store the dust and dirt trapped by its filter system.

0213 Kone

This cleaner is part of Dirt Devil’s KONE series, which features a distinctive conical design which makes it ideal to second as a display piece aside from being a vacuum cleaner. Its innovative design is made by award-winning fashion designer Karim Rashid.

Unlike the earlier two models, the 0213 Dirt Devil hand vacuum cleaner is not powered by a motor, but instead it has a 7 and 1/5 voltage rechargeable battery.

Similar to the other two Dirt Devil hand vacuums, the KONE uses a washable dirt cup that is easy to empty for storing its filtered dust and dirt. This means that you have to get your hands messy by changing bags or cleaning the dirt cups.

The KONE cleaner comes in a variety of colour finishes: plum, blue and pink, among others.
