LightweightIt’s in the name: simple, ready-when-you-are versatility, compact power, and easy storage – all under 4 pounds. Flex your freshly vacuumed rugs and hard floors with this stick vacuum, not your muscles. |
Hard Floors + RugsThis stick vac performs at its best when tidying up hard floors and low-pile rugs. The nozzle’s hard floor straight suction design will suck up dirt and debris, no sweat. For the even quicker and littler messes, the hand vac tackles dirt and debris from couches to curtains to corners. |
Easy AccessFor the harder to reach areas that need a quick clean, pop the on-board crevice tool on to the end of the hand vac. Now, with great power comes great responsibility. Nothing crazy – we just mean there’s a little F113 filter in your vacuum's dirt cup. Give it some TLC every once in awhile with a rinse to keep your unit nice and clean. Be sure to let the filter dry at least 24 hours after rinsing. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Pros:
- The vacuum is quick to assemble, easy to empty, and quick to clean.
- The filter is washable, so no need to deal with replacements until it gets super worn out.
- The light weight makes it easy to give the floors a quick daily vac. I'm impressed with the suction power. It has no issue with low to medium pile rugs. I can't say anything for high-pile since our house doesn't have any.
Cons:
- power cord is too short to reach all corners of a large room; wish it were 4ft longer
- it's loud; even with noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs, it's a pretty loud machine
- the plastic is light, so if you are rough and smash the vacuum against walls and furniture frequently, pieces are likely to break
Cons: Short electrical cord
As a mother with a young toddler who can be a messy eater. I feel that this light-weight vacuum cleaner has saved my sanity. I keep this Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner in my dining room and kitchen area of our house. Like most mothers, you feel that your house can never stay clean no matter how often you pick up. Personally, I feel that sweeping takes too much time and I am always left with crumbs that were either missed or not able to be swept up by a simple dust pan. I believe that the Dirt Devil Vacuum Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Simpli-Stik Lightweight Bagless Corded Stick and Handheld Vacuum has saved me plenty of time and energy to allow me to focus on other things!
CONVIENCE: In today’s time, most people enjoy convinces of things in life. Personally, I think that this Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner is very convenient to the fact which all I need to do is plug this item in to an outlet and begin to vacuum up messes. My son drops a lot of food while eating so having this quick pick up really helps keep our day going. I know that some may say that the standard broom does the same job and I thought that too at first, but once I first used this vacuum it was less of a hassle to clean up the messes on the floor. This is not used for liquids, just crumbs. I was surprised to see that it would suction even larger items such as a normal vacuum cleaner would. I enjoy not having to try and wiggle out the crumbs that fall under the ledge of the cabinets on the floor. This vacuum quickly sucks it right up with no hassle.
ATTACHMENTS:
The one thing I knew with purchasing this vacuum cleaner was that I would not be using this to clean my carpets, but simply the small messes in the kitchen and dining room. If you are looking to have a vacuum for carpet, this is not the vacuum you would want. If you are looking for easy, quick pickups then this is a great product! This vacuum has a couple different features. It can be used as an upright vacuum, a handheld vacuum, and it also has a smaller attachment for tight to reach placed. This is a simple vacuum that gets the job done without the bells and whistles. I feel that having the upright position is great for vacuuming floors. But, if you want to vacuum out your car or even the couch the handheld option is perfect! The smaller attachment is great for getting in between the pockets of your couch. My one complaint with the features is that converting upright to handheld, you must take off the wheel portion of the vacuum. I find it can be difficult at times to remove that part. Other than that, I am very satisfied.
CORD:
Since I purchased to use this vacuum in my kitchen and dining room area, I am now realizing that the cord could be longer. The cord is 16ft, but even though my kitchen and dining room are in the same room, it still does not reach all sides. I would not say this is a deal breaker for me, but it can be a downfall I see with this vacuum. If you are within reach for the rooms you are looking to vacuum for, then it should not be an issue.
FILTER:
I LOVE that this vacuum is bag less! I have had the older, bulky vacuums that require bags and it is just costly to keep replacing them. I enjoy that the filter can be either cleaned or replaced. The replacements I have seen cost less than $8.00. I have had this vacuum for 11 months and have never had to replace the filter yet. The quick release of a push of a button and you can empty your filter. As this is a lightweight vacuum that can clean small rooms, if you are looking for a vacuum to clean your entire house, this is not for you. This Dirt Devil vacuum is great for needing to clean specific rooms or items.
LIGHTWEIGHT:
My experience with vacuums are that they can be bulky and heavy. This is not the case with the Dirt Devil vacuum. This vacuum is only 3.8lbs. Its small enough to just fit in the corner of the room with not taking any space. I love that I can easily take this vacuum without feeling hassled by the weight of this item.
PRICE:
I was blown away when I started using this vacuum because of how much I paid for it. For the great suction, being lightweight, having beneficial features I am simply blown away that it does not cost more! I have been using this vacuum daily, sometimes multiple times a day for just under a year and it still works just as good as the first day I purchased it. This is truly I feel the best vacuum you could get for such an amazing price!
Background:
I like to do a lot of reading before buying products. Hence I had bought in the past a Hoover and a Shark Vacuum. I really like the Hoover Rewind (currently priced at $99+tax, featured as one of the best in Consumer reports in terms of suction and not letting out fine dust or pollen escape from its filter). I am fully satisfied with this vacuum cleaner's capabilities but it is 14 Lb in weight and hence not a good choice for some occasional light cleaning work. Hence I needed a handy vacuum to be used occasionally.
I also have a Shark Pet Perfect II Hand Vac (SV780), currently priced at $60+tax. Good vacuum; i used it for for some time for occasional cleaning work, but then its battery started to get terribly weak and did not hold any charge, It works less than 5 minutes after full charge - not good anymore. In the past, it did a great job, but one downside was that it did not have any good attachments like narrow nozzles to be used for vacuuming car insides. Nevertheless, a great buy while it lasted
Latest Research-work: I read several reviews on Amazon, credible websites and also some news channel clips. Result: I decided to go in for dirt devil one as it was least priced. I wanted something real light weight and good to my pocket.
Experience with Dirt Devil: For $20, we should not have high expectations! This vacuum is like a motorized dirt sucking broom and nothing more than that. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros: Lightweight (2.8 Lb), stands on its own when left in a corner, gets dust from corners of (hardwood) floors effortlessly - am really impressed with this part, ok construction, comes with nozzle crevice attachment that can be used for stairs and narrow spaces
Cons: Below average performance on carpets. You need several passes to pick up cookie crumbs or some food particles. Honestly, Dirt-devil should have put a small motorized brush that could have done a better job. Other cons: its wired!, and it needs to be emptied and filter cleaned almost every time you use it (depending on the dirt on floor)
Verdict: After the Dirt Devil experience, I now wanted to get a vacuum that does better job on carpets, hence I did some reading and narrowed down on Eureka Quick-up Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum, 96H (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LBHGJC). I am returning this Dirt Devil as the Eureka has suited me better (read on)....
Review on the EUREKA:
Based on Amazon reviews, I found this would be a good purchase. For $34+tax, a battery operated vacuum cleaner is a good purchase. The vacuum arrived in 2 days (prime!) and here's what I observed:
Pros: Brush more helps this vacuum do a good job on carpets. You can have a non-brush mode for hardwood floors. Other merits: does a good job, and I could do the entire townhome in single charge and the battery was still good to do some more work (townhome has drawing, dining, kitchen on level 1, a flight of stairs, and 2 roomy bedrooms and 2 baths on level above). Battery capacity was really impressive! I also heard (just heard!) that the charging mechanism does not overcharge the battery, hence maintaining its life. That Shark that I used earlier, was a disappointment as overcharging killed its battery. So I am expecting better battery life with Eureka. Another pro: this is wider than the Dirt Devil one hence takes less effort to clean same area.
Cons: you need to put extra effort to get dust from hardwood or carpet floor corners - with or without the brush spin mode. This was my biggest disappointment. Also, its construction is cheap, the filter takes some effort to be placed back on after emptying the dust collection cup. Also, there are no accessories like crevice tool. So vacuum can only be used with one default attachment.
Final verdict: Owing to the cordless nature, great battery life, ability to be hung on the wall, wider track area, battery operated brush, decent dust collection cup size, I am sticking with the Eureka one and returning the Dirt Devil one. Dirt devil is less priced but it has narrow track clean area, no brush and lesser cleaning capability than Eureka. Also note: both Dirt Devil and Eureka will let out some pollen/ fine dust particles from the filter as they are not the "hepa" filter kind of vacuums - so there should not be any expectations on that.
If a vacuum product manager is reading the review, the only advice I would have for enhancements would be to have an even more suction & a better filter that keeps dust / pollen in. I hope technology enhances to that level soon.
Thanks for reading!

I would be careful popping it open to take the filter out. It's mostly plastic, so that plastic clasp will experience a lot of wear, and too much force might make it snap. I can see that being a failure point.
