This is a replacement for "The Breeze" I had before..which I probably had for 5 years or more..I love this machine..it is lightweight and easy to manuver around..I have a Dyson and it is excellent too..but harder to use for quick cleanup..altho, this unit from Amazon was reconditioned..it appears like a new machine..I would highly recommend for the low price.

I bought the refurbished/re manufactured one thinking dirt devil would stand by their product - fixing whatever was wrong. boy was i wrong. the powered carpet head does not work. it basically works on suction - so no good for rugs. the suction is so weak that i can barely clean my kitchen floor with it. and the hose is flimsy. i wish i spent some extra money and got a good vacuum. oh well - lesson learned

Very powerful machine, but most of all it is light weight and very comfortable for stairs vacuuming. Nevertheless, the price is unbeatable. Highly recommended.

This is great little vac and it works well with long haired dogs. I have been looking a long time for something just like this. It is a shame it came with a very serious looking warning; one which was not included in the description on the website. I would not have bought it if the warning had been stated on Amazon. Would give it a 4 but for the horrible warning. I did not see the warning until after I had used it several times. Best to read all the literature that comes with a product.

"WARNING:THE CORDS, WIRES AND/OR CABLES SUPPLIED WITH THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS, INCLUDING LEAD OR LEAD COMPOUNDS, KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM.WASH HANDS AFTER USING." EeeK!!! It is made in China; you might know. I can always wear cheap surgical gloves until I can afford a replacement. Not sending it back as I need it. Wish there were more info on this. Can products with such warnings legally be sold in the USA???

We use this vac for almost a year now.
It is very light and has great wheels so that it moves effortlessly, has very powerful suction, and the extensions are great.
I think this is the best canister vac we have ever had.
As always there is some room for improvement; the hose could be slightly more rigid for such a powerful vacuum. Every now and then, when bent too hard the hose collapses, but it corrects itself while running when hose position is corrected.

very powerful-who needs the powerhead. I bought this for pet hair and it is fantatic. I have yet to attach the pwerhead, It looks too annoying to attach and detach. I bought this on sale and I am delighted but I guess is I paid regular price and wanted a power head my rating might be lower,

For some odd reason, Amazon dropped their price for this refurbished Breeze when I bought it. For <$30, I figured, why not?
I AM SO GLAD I JUMPED ON THIS DEAL! I'm always a little skeptical of refurbished items, but I received the product today and quickly put it to work. It picked up so much hair and dust in just my room and my hallway! The attachments fit pretty snugly, and the powered carpet piece is very powerful.
I hope this lasts as long as a new one would. But regardless, it was worth every penny, and then some.
I am not sure I would buy the refurbished for $100 since the new one is only $130, but if the price drops to half that of a new unit, I would go for it. It really works as if it were new.

I've always like small canister vacs (I had a great collection of Eureka Mighty-Mite Bosses back in the 80's & 90's. Wonderful design, assortment of colors and best of all, they worked well.) and came upon this little treasure; smallish, quite(ish), and inexpensive. It went to work as soon as I got it: home and apartment-building duty. The powered-beater-brush works well (maybe just a little too light but very easy to move about). I use the shoulder strap when hitting all the stairways. The bagless feature is typical - stand back when emptying but be prepared to get hit with a cloud of dust no matter where you stand. Also, if you have other 1 1/4" fittings and extension tubes you can use them with this vacuum. Mine was forest-green British-racing-green?) in color.

Get's the job done and what a price. Vacuum seems brand new and no mechanical or physical defaults. Add free shipping from Amazon and you can't go wrong.

I sweat the thing seemed new when I got it. A bird, a cat, a dusty house, a mechanic roommate - all of their mess gets swept up by this without a problem. The power nozzle thing is a little annoying to attach because you have to put these cord holders along the plastic tubing, keeping me from really using the attachments as much as I should, and one of the attachments wasn't in the box (didn't really bother me because it basically did the same thing as the power nozzle), but this is really a great vacuum. I had horrible allergy problems when I got it, but now I can breathe again! I didn't realize just how bad my old vacuum was until I got this.

Edit: February 2012
The vacuum finally bit it. Had it for over 4 years and I loved it. Eventually it just lost its suction. It went through a lot in its 4+ years: all of those aforementioned pets of mine, yet ANOTHER cat who likes to destroy everything, a very messy husband.
