This vacuum is very lightweight and looks nice, but it is very weak. I got this to replace my dirt devil hand vac and it seems my hand vac was about 5 times stronger. Where I would only have had to make one stroke with the hand vac to pick something up, I have to run this thing over it 5 times. It won't pick up anything minutely stuck to the carpet (a string). It picks up makes clumps of hair, but doesn't suck them in, so it gathers on the rim and I have to pull it out. There is no bag so when you open up the lid it's very messy and dust goes everywhere. This vacuum would probably work best to pick up little crumbs, but if you plan on using it for anything else, get something else! I recommend a hand vac.

Nice looking product, worked OK for awhile. Rather quickly started falling apart. Burned through many belts, seems to clog really quickly (and is a pain to take apart to unclog). Probably fine for very light work.

This vacuum is more than it's worth! I just got mine today and vacuumed my whole apartment and picked up everything! That is very impressive since I haven't vacuumed in months! Not only is it powerful, the bagless feature is perfect for easy clean-up. It's lightweight and yet gives a heavyweight performance. Excellent!!

I LOVE this little vacuum!! I wish i could buy another one. I have had mine for about 13 years!! No joke. Im 20 and i bought it when i was about 7. Yes i was one of those kids. However i am still using it to clean my apartment. It has been used so much that the brushes on the beater bar are almost wore off. And yet it still pulls thick, dusy, lent like fuz out of the carpet. It is always full of pet hair, and dirt. You just wash out the inside of the canister and the collection filter every once in a while and it runs like new. It really does surprise me how much unseen crap this thing pulls up. I love it...and honestly i'll be sad when i have to get rid of it. Its had a great run though.

I am a student living in a small apartment, and I bought this vacuum cleaner hoping it would do a good job cleaning my new carpet. Having used this unit several times, I realized that the name "Devil" only refers to its noise-producing capacity and not to its suction power. It did a lousy job cleaning my carpet and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. My grandmother, who lives nearby, once borrowed the cleaner, only to return it back the next day saying she'd rather use a wet rug than this vacuum cleaner. So save your money and buy a better (even if heavier) vacuum cleaner!
