Product Description

Amazon.com Review

With its sinuous curves and elegant keyhole-shaped vents, Dirt Devil's Kurv looks more like a space-age vase than a household cleaning product. And while it picks up crumbs, dust, and spills just as well as your averagely ugly cordless handheld vacuum, the machine's aesthetics are its major drawing card. Created by renowned industrial designer Karim Rashid, the Kurv is stylish enough to leave out on the counter or coffee table, where it's more likely to come into play sooner--before the Cheerios are ground into the Karastan, in other words, or just as the last-minute guests are due to arrive. The cordless design plugs into a charging base for storage, so the unit is always ready to go, and the dirt cup simply twists off to empty, sparing users the hassle and expense of disposable bags. Weighing in at just two pounds, the Kurv also features a replaceable filter and a soft tip, to protect delicate surfaces like hardwood floors or antique furniture. It comes backed by a limited three-year warranty. --Mary Park

5.0 out of 5 stars KURV is fantastic, January 13, 2008

This review is from: Dirt Devil 0216CHL Kurv Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Choco-Latte (Kitchen)

I have had a Dirt Devil hand vacuum for 3 years and really like it. When the new KURV came out, I couldn't resist trying it. It works great and has a lot of power. I never use a broom. So far, the KURV hasn't run out of power before I finish the kitchen, utility room and 2 bathrooms (the rooms without carpet). It is the first hand vac I have had that doesn't start running out of power and slowing down before I am finished.

2.0 out of 5 stars Aesthetics good, performance poor, June 1, 2008

This review is from: Dirt Devil 0216CHL Kurv Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Choco-Latte (Kitchen)

The vaccuum looks great, and it has decent suction. That's the positives.

However, I find it difficult to hold, at the shape is more designed for looks than ergonomics. The design also vents the outgoing air from a band around the middle, which tends to blow dust and crumbs and such all over as you're trying to clean. The tiny nozzle helps to increase the suction but reduces the aea convered, meaning you spend a lot more time making tiny passes over the area compared to wider intakes on traditional "dust buster" units.

This review is from: Dirt Devil 0216CHL Kurv Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Choco-Latte (Kitchen)

For interim use between the weekly haulings out the massive Dyson animal, (Dyson DC07 Cyclone Animal Upright Vacuum, Purple,) I looked at the Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum (7.5 volt) and this, DD's newer, more powerful, 9.6 volt vac. Having two "house" dogs who have little more to do every day than lie about like couch potatoes and shed, I got the Kurv in luscious choco-latte and I'm glad I did. I leave it in the living room, charging and ready to go. And go it does!
Quickly, easily, powerfully.
It's an intriguing decorative piece - prompting one Boomer buddy to inquire - what's that? A Bong?

NO Wait! GET THIS: Dyson DC31 Handheld Vacuum Cleaner - wait `til they have the animal version back in stock. It's much better! (review amended 3/15/2011)
