Will Not Buy Dirt Devil In the Future
»
We bought this vacuum a year or so ago and I didn't like it from the moment I used it. I had already thrown the box away so I couldn't return it. Lesson learned. It never worked well on tile floors and although it picked up dirt on carpet, I never felt like my carpets were really clean. My husband just bought me a Dyson and we vacuumed with the Dirt Devil first and then the Dyson and it was amazing how much dirt was picked up in the Dyson. It sold my husband immediately. It was totally worth spending the extra money and it was alot to purchase the Dyson.

Built Like a Tank, Sounds Like One, Too!
»
I've had my Dirt Devil Breeze for (3?+) years now (Obviously an older version but based on what I see from the picture nothing had changed much.) Bought this as replacement to a previous vacuum cleaner which had the "fan" (not sure if this is the correct word for it) that was in the path of the dirt (I believe that was a hoover). I used it to pick up some solid object and got stuck in the "fan" which caused it to break on me. The design of the breeze was a lot better since the filter catches objects before it gets to the suction mechanism. Overall, does what its supposed to do.
Cons:
- The exhaust out in front was definitely a design "duh". But you wouldn't realize it till you use it for picking up light material (e.g. small bird feathers).
- Is there an easier way to switch from bottom suction to the onboard tools?
- Emptying the canister is definitely a hassle (but sames me money in the long run)
- *LOUD* And I cannot say this enough. My unit is a little older and I swear this thing gets louder with age. I swear, I was two houses away and I thought my wife was using the table saw. If you want to tune out the rest of the world or not want to hear somebody nag at you, though, this is definitely for you.
- No height adjustment (tough to use on thick carpet)
Pro:
- A definite work horse. I think this thing will last a lifetime. This is the first vacuum cleaner I will get rid off that actually still works.
- As mentioned above, design was better than other vacuums
- Cheap

Good for the price
»
Good: Low price, light weight, floats easily over the carpet, good suction power. Does a nice job cleaning carpets.
Bad: Need-ear-plugs LOUD, switching inlet hose between carpet and attachments is a pain in the you-know-what, lacks a wide carpet attachment such as you would use under beds and sofas (fortunately, my Bissel Green Machine wide attachment fits the Dirt Devil's hose perfectly; save your old attachments).
As much as the annoyances annoy me, for the fifty bucks I paid, a good value.

Too many problems for me
»
This vacuum does a fine job at what's intended for. It will get your floors clean. However, it has several problems that are so frustrating that they detract from the things that I do like about the vacuum.
The main problem is that the suction pipe to which you connect attachments, does not lock in place when not using an attachment. This means that it frequently disconnects from the main head of the vacuum. I'll finish a section of carpet, and then realize that it's been disconnected the whole time and have to redo that section. It would have been so incredibly easy to prevent this by simply putting in a quarter-rotation lock of some kind. This is a critical flaw in my opinion.
Another failure is the way that the canister that holds the waste opens. You depress a button to open it, but the door is spring loaded, and when you do, it showers dust and lint all over the place. I have to open it into a plastic trash bag, or out doors, to make sure it doesn't mess up the floor I just cleaned.
I agree with another reviewer that this vacuum is very noisy! Much noisier than the old Kirby I used to have, or even the cheap, off brand vacuum I keep in my basement.
On the pro side, the vacuum is light, works well when the suction pipe isn't disconnected, and costs a lot less than more expensive brands. Unfortunately, this instance, you really do get what you pay for.
