This thing is great and has pretty much everything I will ever need. Because it’s a stick vacuum, it’s lightweight and easy to carry around – much easier than my old vacuum which I mentioned earlier (the “clunky” one). I was surprised when I turned it on. It’s no ‘shush’ vac, but it’s a lot quieter than my old one. The cord is 15 feet, which is pretty long. I still need an extension cord when I vacuum larger rooms, like the living room for example, but that’s not a problem for me. This vacuum can be put together into a stick vacuum, and taken apart into a hand vacuum. This is such a good idea, and it’s easy to take apart and put back together – no tools necessary. Well, you first need a screwdriver to attach the handle to the stick part, but that’s it.
The switch on the front can be flicked once to turn it on, but if you flick it up one more time, you will turn on the ‘brushroll’. If you look on the bottom of the vacuum, you will notice some bristles sticking out. When you turn on the brushroll, those bristles will start spinning really fast. This helps to sweep up some especially stubborn dust and dirt particles on carpeted surfaces.
Putting it to the test. It’s got enough suction to pick up dust and dirt, but is gentle enough for vacuuming drapes and table cloths. The rug in our dining room has not been cleaned for a long time, and therefore has years worth of dust caked on it. I was pretty nervous about it – after all, that’s asking a lot of one vacuum. I figured there was probably no hope left for that old rug. I was very surprised and pleased to see how the dust just lifted right off. This little vacuum handled it like a champ. Now to say our rug looks like new might be stretching it, but it definitely looks loads better (you can view it in the attached pictures). We will be sure to take better care of it from now on. Actually, my two daughters have been fighting over who gets to do the vacuuming. That probably won’t last, but I’ll enjoy it while it does.
To empty the vacuum, you just have to push the 'release' tab in and pop the dirt cup out. It's easy to empty and mostly mess-free, but still you might want to wear gloves. It can get pretty yucky in there. Also, the crevice tool has been very handy for reaching into small spaces. The only thing I would change is that I wish the crevice tool for this vacuum was as long as the one for the Dirt Devil Simpli-Stik model. It would make it easier to reach further, but other than that, this vacuum is perfect.

It would make it easier to reach further, but other than that, this vacuum is perfect.
Both the DD Vibe and the Eureka are fairly light (both are 4.4 lbs) and they both have a motorized brush roll. Both of them have a rating of 2 amperes. The suction power of the Eureka is strong but the DD Vibe’s is even stronger. The DD Vibe can pick up uncooked thin pasta (linguine) and whole peppercorn off a smooth surface. The Eureka can’t.
You can remove the handle off the Eureka to convert it to a “handheld” but it’s not really a handheld vac because the floor nozzle is still attached. The DD Vibe, on the other hand, can be fully separated from its floor nozzle, converting it into a real handheld vac. It even comes with a crevice tool which is not as narrow (therefore, doesn't suck in as strongly) as the quick flip crevice tool of the Dirt Devil Scorpion SD20005RED but good enough for general hand vacuuming.
The crevice tool can also attach to the handle so I don’t have to go looking for it when I need it. This is very convenient when I’m vacuuming the kitchen floor and I need to switch to a handheld to get at little pieces of debris in tight corners. I used to have to go and get a separate hand vac for this. Now, I only have to put my foot on the floor nozzle (to hold it down) while I press the nozzle release with my left thumb then pull the hand vac part off the floor nozzle with my right hand. So quick! However, I don’t think reaching down for the nozzle release button is going to be easy for people who have problems bending low. I tried lifting up the DD Vibe (so I don't have to bend that low) and pressing the release button with my thumb while the rest of my fingers hold the front of the floor nozzle, then I pulled the floor nozzle off. I was able to remove the floor nozzle without having to bend. However, some people with weaker/stiffer hands would probably find it difficult to press the button while also holding the floor nozzle. It would be easier if you can rest the floor nozzle on some higher surface (mind where you do this because the floor nozzle is dirty!) so you can press the release button without having to bend low.
The cord is 15 feet long. Some people find it too short but 15 feet seems to be the standard length for stick vacs. I usually do one section of the house at a time and just replug the stick vac into another outlet when I move from room to room.
The dirt cup is clear so you can easily see when it needs to be emptied. There’s a clear window over the brush roll so you can check if the brush roll is working or not.
I do a lot of sewing. Threads on the floor get wound up around the brush roll as they do on any other vacuum cleaner brush roll. I turn on the stick vac (brush roll off) then take pointy-tipped scissors and snip along the length of the brush roll to cut the threads and pull them off the brush roll. The cut threads get sucked into the vacuum cleaner.
The DD Vibe uses filter F77. I usually buy a spare filter so I can swap a filter in when the other one has been washed and is waiting to dry. On the Dirt Devil website, the F77 is $2.10. The price on Amazon starts at $11.29 (why?). On cleaning the filter, the owner’s manual says: “Hold filter under running water to rinse. DO NOT use soap/detergent. Tap excess water out of filter. Allow filter to COMPLETELY DRY for at least 24 hours before replacing in dirt cup.”
Just “hold the filter under running water”? That must be a very clean filter. In my experience, dirt/hair/debris on vacuum cleaner filters don’t just fall off by themselves. They cling really tenaciously. I usually have to tap the filter on some hard surface and also use an old toothbrush to remove the dirt. The manual doesn’t say why detergent shouldn’t be used. Does it have some special coating that’s going to be removed by detergent? Don’t you just hate it when someone says “don’t do this” but doesn’t tell you why (and the reason is not as obvious as say “don’t touch the soldering iron bit when it’s plugged in or hot)?
The DD Vibe, with a 2A rating, is already a lot better than most other stick vacs which have much lower ampere rating. I wish though that manufacturers would make stick vacs with higher power rating. My Dirt Devil Scorpion handvac is 7A. Why can’t they use that same motor on a stick vac with a motorized brush roll?
There are 4 small rollers on the bottom of the floor nozzle. They roll easily on smooth surfaces (wood floors, stone tiles). However, the floor nozzle doesn’t glide well on rugs. I have super low-pile entryway, kitchen and bathroom rugs. Pushing the stick vac forward doesn’t help. It “sticks”. What works for me is lifting the stick vac, then setting it on the rug and then pulling it back. I repeat that all over the rug until I consider the rug sufficiently cleaned. Using the brush roll also fluffs up the bath rug (You know when bath rugs look so flat after so many feet have stood on it) and makes it look fresh again.
Except for the handle tube (metal), everything is plastic (the brittle kind). I felt a bit of apprehension when I looked at the plastic handle and the two screw holes I have to use to screw it to the metal handle tube. There’s just very thin brittle plastic between the metal screws and the metal handle tube. Be careful when you assemble the handle. Don’t overtighten or you can crack the plastic screw holes.
The end of the plastic handle doesn’t have a hole. It may not be important to some but it is very important to me. The Eureka is similar to the DD Vibe in that it also has a plastic handle and a metal handle tube. However, the plastic handle of the Eureka is thicker and has a hole. I use that hole to hang the stick vac instead of just standing it at some spot and having it fall to the floor when it gets bumped by someone or something. To compensate for the absence of a handle hole, I stationed the DD Vibe near a narrow post on which I hang a looped Velcro cable tie. I slip that loop over the post and DD Vibe so that the DD Vibe doesn’t just fall or slide down the floor.
My DD Vibe was shipped by Amazon Logistics. They didn't use any shipping box at all. They just slapped the shipping label on the product box (that doesn't have any protective packing inside at all) and shipped as is. Amazon cutting corners - hate it.

El manejo que le doy principalmente es en pisos duros, no la recomiendo para uso en alfombras porque su función es mas que nada de juntar basurita, morusas de pan y pelos de mascota (razón por la que yo la compré) de los pisos duros. Claro que la puedes utilizar en alfombras pero la potencia no es la misma que con una aspiradora tamaño adulto (jeje) y aparte de que tendrías que estar limpiando el mini filtro a cada rato.
Es buena para limpieza rápida, deshacerte de los pelos de tus mascotas y para darle una pasada a tus muebles, también la puedes convertir en una aspiradora de mano para aspirar tu coche o lugares donde no puedas usar la aspiradora mientras está en modo de rueditas y cepillo. También puedes utilizarla como aspiradora de telarañas si le dejas el tubito de extensión y le quitas la parte que tiene las rueditas y cepillo. En fin, excelente mini aspiradora!
**ACTUALIZACIÓN** 3 de Junio-2016
La aspiradora sigue funcionando al 100 después de un poco menos de un año, lo unico malo es que la canastita/filtro que se tiene que limpiar se está rompiendo de un lado (lo que es la tela), la rotura es pequeña pero estoy seguro que esto se debe al hecho que cuando la voy a sacudir para quitarle el polvo la golpeo contra otra superficie y pues esos impactos son los que poco a poco han ido causando el daño, en realidad la culpa la tengo yo por flojo y por no enjuagar la canastita con agua como debo hacer. Obvio ya la limpio como es debido pero a todos aquellos que hacen lo mismo (golpear la canastita) les aconsejo que ya no lo hagan, ya que al romperse la tela del filtro comenzará a pasar todo el polvo al motor de la aspiradora y pues se puede descomponer, estoy seguro que no sería difícil reparar el daño, pero ya aprendí mi lección :). Fuera de eso la aspiradora sigue funcionando bien, aunque ya subió de precio de 475 pesos de cuando la compré hace un año sigue siendo un buen producto. Saludos!
