this might be the best vacuum i've ever owned and i usually go thru one per year. i have children, grandchildren, cats, dogs plus i'm an arts & crafty person. this vacuum needs no bag. you can see how full it is. easy to empty. picks up big pieces of junk with no risk of damaging engine. no belts to snap. very strong. long hose and attachments go to ceiling and ceiling fans. great also for catching bugs. very highly recommend.

Terrifically efficient product for lifting dust and dust bunnies off hardwood floor and other rugless floors. Works well on light rugs too. Have not used on denser rugs. Attachments are easy to put on and remove. Light weight with long cord. Easy to store. Highly recommended for small apartments.

Recently had the house tiled, so we needed to replace our upright with something easier to use. After doing some research, we settled on this Dirt Devil 082500 canister. It has impressive suction, and is easy to use. The hose, fittings, and dirt cup latch are all very flimsy and we are worried about the long-term. So far so good. On sale, it seems like a decent purchase.

I bought this shoddy vacuum for those hard to reach places around the house. We all have such places, and it's a true shame to watch dust, bug particles and other unwanted detritus accumulate and grow ever unsightlier. So I figured I'd buy one of those old fashioned wand sweepers, similar to the electrolux owned by my parents. Having owned several Dirt Devil products in the past and having been quite pleased with their quality and performance, especially on the pet hair infested carpeted stairs, I decided, in my naivete, to purchase this product. Bad idea. These are all rather old, as is my trusty Kirby, so I was a fresh initiate into this whole "bagless" craze sweeping the vacuum world. A bagless sweeper, it turns out, has a simple plastic catcher in which the dust is stored, a container which, when you open it, spews foul smelling dust into the air and continues to spew as you empty it. Add that to the overall weakness of the motor (I have been compelled to physically place dust into the maw of this machine, finding it rather weak-willed and lethargic) and the awkwardness and poor construction of the plastic wand, and you have yourself a lousy and expensive piece of plastic rubbish. I compare it to my older DD products and weep at the clear decline in quality.

I purchased a Dirt Devil Breeze Canister vacuum based entirely on what other pet owners and professional cleaners had to say about it. I have had it for 3 weeks and am wildly enthusiastic about it's light weight, sucking power. I have 8 cats, three of whom are Himalayan long haired lovelies.This little machine is very easy to use, has a long hose,follows well, and is easy to dump out when full. It gets into corners, underneath furniture,is great on blinds, shucks I even used it to clean cobwebs and dust off of my covered patio. So far it has exceeded my expectations.
