Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Convenient and portable, the lightweight Dirt Devil Scorpion picks up spills and small messes with ease. The 7-amp motor suctions everything from soccer-cleat dirt to cookie crumbs. Constructed of durable, black plastic, the small vessel features a 16-foot chord, optional hose with upholstery brush attachment, and a shoulder strap to ease carrying. Distinguishing itself from other Scorpions, this model offers a convenient flip-down crevice tool enabling immediate access to tight spaces--and preventing misplacement of the tool. Emptying the vacuum requires no bags; a dirt cup and filter remove easily and can be reattached with little effort. Measuring 12-1/2 by 5 by 7 inches, this product is backed by a 3 year warranty on all parts. -- Amy Arnold

Somewhere between a heavy duty floor vac with attachments and a wet towel, lies the Scorpion. This niche ideally would be filled by the Dustbuster, but as others have lamented, Dustbuster like devices don't last long enough to really complete most jobs. Cleaning depends entirely on the size of the mess, so its difficult to predict how long a vacuum need be run. With a corded vacuum of small size, one can clean as long as needed, until the dust bin fills up. The trick is to get the right size and weight to make a corded vac as convenient as possible.
Dirt Devil has achieved that mix in the Scorpion. Its strong vac makes short work of cleaning, and carried by shoulder strap while using hose allows cleaning of most areas easily, and rarely is the crevice tool really needed. Its very good for cleaning tight places, especially cars. Cleaning a non-disposable dust bin is a mess with any vac, but can be done with less mess by pre-covering the filter with a sheet of kleenex before each run, then mopping up when needed with a disposable lint roller.
Constructed of good quality plastic, this vac is well worth its $20.
Cons:
No stowage for cord or attachment

in picking up hair and animal hair. Crevice quick flip makes it easy to use for hard to reach places, picking up the dirt! Downside is the small dirt container but that is minor vs. the power this small machine has.

We are fostering a rescue cat for a few months and need to keep it separated from our other cats, so we have a litterbox in an area we would prefer not to. Despire trying to keep the area clean, litter was getting tracked around a little bit, and would inevitably end up collecing just out of reach under the baseboard. This vacuum, with its little pointy flip-tip, gets into those kinds of nooks and crannies and sucks out the litter. It is pretty powerful for its little size, and has a nice long cord, which makes up for the fact that it isn't battery powered. I'd never expect this kind of suction from a battery powered vacuum anyway.
On top of everything I was expecting, it also comes with a brush attachment and a flexible host about 18 inches long. This really lets me get to areas I wasn't really planning, like behind appliances, toilets, etc.
I would purchase this again, or purchase it as a gift for a friend.

Too Loud
This thing is way too loud and the exhaust fan blows too much.....it makes it too hard to clean.

Unusable.
Don't waste your money and time with this piece of garbage. It blows the dust through the ventilation. Badly engineered. Those guys got their degrees in a box of cereal.

Helpful Hand Vac
This vac is much more powerful than the typical battery powered hand vac. But, it is also loud and the air blowback is significant (watch you refrigerator magnets go flying! Read more
