This product is not nearly as versatile as its competitor, the Hoover Dustbuster. The triangular "crevice tool" can hardly be described as adept at reaching into narrow spaces. Further, I don't recommend this product for asthmatics; the filter, at risk of tearing, is almost impossible to clean by hand without raising a dust storm, and the filters are not readily available in stores. I do like the retractable brush feature, and the suction is satisfactory. I guess some would consider the clear display of sucked up dirt a plus feature, but I find it rather distasteful. I'm on my way out to buy another Dustbuster!

No power. Doesn't pick up cat litter. Can only use it for 5 minutes at a stretch. I'm really regretting purchasing this.

I have a Black and Decker Versapak dustbuster that eats this one for lunch. I like the "floor stand recharger" so I bought it for the upstairs. But when I compared it to the BD, the Dust Devel went back to the store.

I do not recommend this product.

I have an older model, but the product seems about the same (IE recent reviews state similar problems).

1. It hardly holds a charge. I don't find it convenient since it only works for a few minutes. I realize it's not supposed to replace a full vacuum, but I'd still like to be able to go around the baseboards of more than one room to pick up dust bunnies.

2. It doesn't suck much. It picks up very light dust bunnies, but little else.

3. The retractable brush is only about 1/8 inch deep, and mine got stuck in the out position.

4. The attachements are of no value.

5. The battery can not be replaced, so there is no opportunity to improve the poor "5 minutes only" charge.

Forget this product. My parents have a similar product from a different manufacturer and it works MUCH better.

i like this one. It picks up the dog hait off my furniture without having to drag the big vac. out for the price its well worth it.

It only had any real vacuum power when quite new.
I can't get filters here in Canada, and I also read the (poor) NiCad battery is not replaceable.
This one's only a few years old, cost too much money for its performance and short useful life.
Yet the hardware and motor are all in fine shape as I toss out this nice looking red machine. Pity.
What a stupid waste. It's a landfill-generating design. Based on this experience (read: getting screwed by the Corporate Greed Machine) I will never again touch this company's products.

This Dust Devil rocks! It is lightweight, quiet, and powerful. However I have found it to clean more effectively on bare floors than carpeting. I store it in a convenient spot in our kitchen, in the corner right next to our refrigerator.

I use this vacuum mainly in corners, on our furniture, to pick up crumbs underneath the kitchen table, and even on the stairs. I have been very satisfied with its performance.

The biggest pain with this vacuum is emptying the dirt cup and cleaning the filter. Dust flies everywhere, then I start sneezing!

Overall, this heavy duty sucker is worth every penny. We haven't had any problems with it yet!
