This is a wonderful product. The suction power is incredible and the vent/fan is placed high enough. Sometimes, it still manages to scatter the dust around, but no more than most other cordless products.
The Quick Flip crevice tool is truly handy and a great addition.

I purchased this primarily for picking up cat hair, dust, and scattered litter and it's really doing a great job picking it up all up.

Very easy to clean. Just pop it open and empty into the trash can and you're done! The filter can be washed if the dust build up becomes too much.

We used it lightly. Just general clean-up. That's what it was made for. Had it 4 months and it gave up the ghost. Made a horrible death rattle before it's final demise. Now it's just junk fit for the landfill.

Manufacturer claims a 3 year warranty, but just try to collect. You'll be wasting your time. Dealing with "Customer Service" is an exercise in futility.

The Dirt Devil Scorpion is a decent hand vac in the sense that it picks up more than the average dustbuster, however I don't think it's the best hand vac you can buy out there on the market. The flip down crevice tool is a convenient feature on this, since you don't need to store it elsewhere. Nice idea. My main complaints on this model are the fact that the suction hole is very small (about 2"x1"), making it hard to pick up an area without going over the same spot 3-4 times. Also you can't rinse out the inside filter cup without destroying it, and the manual tells you not to do so. You can only shake the dust off or brush it off, which isn't so easy to do. It is very light and portable, however & easy to hold on to. Not the best, but not the worst.

The Scorpion was a waste of my money. I decided to go cheap and I got exactly that. Mine didn't even last four months. It could be handy when it worked, but after the first month it made a horrible grinding sound, especially when you tilted it. Then it would start to smell, like an electrical fire. Eventually, it just stopped working. For a few more dollars, you can get one that actually works all the time.

I had a Black and Decker which failed after about 6 months so I decided to try the Scorpion. The suction is pretty good, I guess, but the opening is so small that it gets clogged up immediately - a couple of cheerios get in there and you are sunk! Also, there is this little flap designed to keep stuff from falling back out - it doesn't work half the time. The dirt you just vacummed falls right out! The crevice tool seemed handy at first, but I have trouble snapping it into place and then unsnapping it. This vac is such a hassle, I'd rather use a dustpan and brush. I'm returning it to the store.

This hand-vac only worked for a few months before the motor started crashing up against its casing resulting in a stench of burning plastic and a horrible screeching noise. Before that happened, the hand-vac was much more adept at blowing dust around rather than sucking it up. I've never written a negative review about anything before, but felt I should post a caveat emptor for this wreck.

Quite a nice vac, but only good for small jobs. It doesn't have a big nozzle to pick up big things and the crevice tool helps for small things. Has a lot of power and sucks up everything well. Great with NO CORD!

Poor suction power, doesn't hold much of a charge, difficult to get it to sit just right in the base, so that the contact will charge. It does work, but definitely not worth the money.

Nice while it worked but after using it a dozen times, the turbin started chafing against the housing and it stopped working: after opening, we concluded it was a very poor design.

This model is only useful for vacuuming dust and very small crumbs. The vent placement is poorly designed because it blows stuff all over the place. Battery life is not all that great either. If you are going to use this type of vacuum cleaner daily a seriously suggest to invest more money into it.
