Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With 10-4/5 volts of powerful suction, this handheld vacuum cleaner works great for on-the-go pickups and fast cleaning of every day messes and dry spills. The unit's built-in crevice tool cleans hard-to-reach areas like between couch cushions and along baseboards, while its lightweight, cordless design makes it possible to move from room to room with ease. Use it for everything from soccer-cleat dirt by the front door to cereal crunching under foot in the kitchen. Best of all, the handheld vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a transparent, easy-empty dirt cup, which means no expensive bags to buy. Simply press both dirt-cup release buttons to flip open the lid, empty the dirt and debris into a waste receptacle, close the lid, and it's ready to go--no removable parts, no mess, and no need to get hands dirty. Other highlights include a thumb-activated on/off button, a comfortable-grip handle, a 2-1/4-inch-wide nozzle, a reusable filter that rinses clean, and lightweight construction at about 2-3/4 pounds. A charger comes included (24 hours for a full charge). The handheld vacuum cleaner measures approximately 14-3/5 by 5-3/5 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a three-year parts-and-motor warranty.

I replaced my old handheld cleaner with this Dirt Devil. It is definitely strong and compact. Takes up half the space of my old one. I have been using it for a month and it is also easy to empty. Highly recommend. Hope the charger keeps on working in the same way, my old one would lose power after a few minutes of use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Compact and light, but could be better..., February 26, 2010

This review is from: Dirt Devil BD10100 Gator 10.8-Volt Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Kitchen)

The main reason I wanted a cordless handheld was to clean carpeted stairs, but the suction isn't powerful enough to do a good job on this. It works `a little' if you spend a good minute or two on each step, but even the hose attachment tool on my regular upright vacuum cleaner does a MUCH better and faster job. That was a big disappointment for me.

There is no bag, so the dirt/dust collects inside and can be opened to empty out. There's also a filter that can be changed. The dirt collection area is rather small, so it seemed to fill up very quickly and the filter looked clogged after using it just a few times.

On the positive side, it is lightweight and very comfortable to hold. It's cordless so it's easy to use in places like a car or wherever you don't have access to an outlet. The charge seems to last a long time, so you don't have to keep recharging it after every use.

If you want a small, lightweight cordless vacuum cleaner for some light cleaning jobs such as picking up dust around your floor boards, vacuuming out your car or cleaning crumbs off the furniture, this would probably work fine, but are expecting to do stairs or larger cleaning tasks, you'd be better off finding another hand vac with stronger suction power and a larger dirt collection space.

Great little vacuum, does the job well. Powerful suction - picks up heavy items others can't.
