This review is from: Dirt Devil Breeze Bagless Upright Vacuum, M088160RED (Kitchen)
Our big and heavy Dirt Devil Platinum Force quit after 5 years of service and we decided to try something lighter and much less expensive.
The Breeze arrived in 3 days, even with free shipping - thanks Amazon! Assembly was a breeze, just 4 screws. We have over 1500 sq ft of carpeted areas and steps so I put the new vacuum to work. Pros: -- Price (and I also used a gift certificate) - sweet! -- Lightweight! What a difference it makes. -- Very powerful. It sucked a full dirt container from our house. -- Thermal protective device - according to the manual this will shut off the motor to prevent overheating (what our old vacuum did not have) Cons: -- No HEPA filter out of the box but the next time I replace the filter I can get a HEPA filter from Amazon -- To use the hose (on the steps, inside car) I needed to detach the main hose and connect the special hose. But it's cool how you plug-and-twist the hose in place. -- Warranty is only 2 years. But for the price I paid that's fine. So really, no negatives yet. Happy with this purchase.

The Breeze is a mixe bag(less) of good and not so good,
By
This review is from: Dirt Devil Breeze Bagless Upright Vacuum, M088160RED (Kitchen)
First off, how do you say "mixed bag" about a "bagless" vacuum? Well however you say it, here is my opinion on it - the good and the bad. I purchased mine as a second vac, and despite past nightmares with entry bagless vacs, wanted something I could empty after each occasional use vs. store away with a partly filled bag.
On the pro side: This unit is VERY light in weight. Great for those with arthritis or anyone who is carrying a vacuum up and down stairs. What is not lightweight is the power - it definitely has good suction. I also like the slightly narrower width whem compared to most other vacuums - 13" wide vs the more common 15" wide may not seem like much, but this fits in narrow places yet is still a full power vac. On the neutral side: Emptying is easy, but like most entry level bagless units, the filter is a mess to deal with. Best bet is, from time, use a second vac to clean this units filter, or used canned air outside upwind. Attachments are okay - connecting the hose is akward. Just a note - the height is actually simply fixed, not "automatic", but it does lift the beater bar up when the handle is in the upright position to prevent carpet damage. On the negative side: This is a very loud vacuum cleaner. On a scale of 1-10, this is an 11. Pickup can be tricky, as it wants to spit items back at you - and with the exhaust blowing downward in the front, stir up dust ahead of you. Note - if you have problems with dust and allergies, avoid this or have someone else clean the filter for you. Overall: The negatives are strong issues against the positives and neutrals on this vac. Also keep in mind that with the low end bagless vacs, the money you save on bags is more than spent on filters. Almost like buying a printer - the printer is cheap, but they get you on the ink. Here they get you on the filter. All in all, this makes for a handy and powerful second vac, a lightweight vac for those who can't handle a heavy vac, and a vac to consider if you are really stretching the dollar. But be careful not to think bagless is going to save you money.

Built Like a Tank, Sounds Like One, Too!,

This review is from: Dirt Devil Breeze Bagless Upright Vacuum, M088160RED (Kitchen)
I've had my Dirt Devil Breeze for (3?+) years now (Obviously an older version but based on what I see from the picture nothing had changed much.) Bought this as replacement to a previous vacuum cleaner which had the "fan" (not sure if this is the correct word for it) that was in the path of the dirt (I believe that was a hoover). I used it to pick up some solid object and got stuck in the "fan" which caused it to break on me. The design of the breeze was a lot better since the filter catches objects before it gets to the suction mechanism. Overall, does what its supposed to do.
Cons: - The exhaust out in front was definitely a design "duh". But you wouldn't realize it till you use it for picking up light material (e.g. small bird feathers). - Is there an easier way to switch from bottom suction to the onboard tools? - Emptying the canister is definitely a hassle (but sames me money in the long run) - *LOUD* And I cannot say this enough. My unit is a little older and I swear this thing gets louder with age. I swear, I was two houses away and I thought my wife was using the table saw. If you want to tune out the rest of the world or not want to hear somebody nag at you, though, this is definitely for you. - No height adjustment (tough to use on thick carpet) Pro: - A definite work horse. I think this thing will last a lifetime. This is the first vacuum cleaner I will get rid off that actually still works. - As mentioned above, design was better than other vacuums - Cheap
