The duct tape is just showing signs of wear., February 6, 2003
This review is from: Dirt Devil Vision Swivel Glide Upright (Kitchen)
... The freaking handle broke... the belts have been replaced 3 times and now it is dead. By the way I have owned this vac for 2 years and I am a single 23 year old that NEVER VACUUMS!

Swivel Glide MVP needs to be Benched..., January 8, 2003
This review is from: Dirt Devil Vision Swivel Glide Upright (Kitchen)
I've owned this vacuum for less than 1 year. At first it seemed fine except the attachments kept falling off. Trying to find bags, and belts locally was a true challenge -- sold out or not stocked at all. It took me trips to 4 different stores and about 50 miles on my car to finally find size "U" bags.
Vacuuming on a bare floor is a joke - regardless of the bare floor setting.
Within a few months the suction slowly degraded (won't even pick up fuzz without going over it 20 times). The attached stretch hose started to stretch out so it won't stay on its hook any longer.
Finally, the last straw...the handle fell off! The handle which is held on by only 2 screws which screw into plastic tabs inside the main body. After about 6 months of pushing and pulling this thing the tabs finally gave out - cracked off inside the body.
I have tried contacting Dirt Devil but have been told over the phone that I must have been pulling too much and therfore I have abused the product. I was pulling as much as pushing..isn't that what you do with a vacuum cleaner?
It supposedly has a 2 year warranty. HogWash!
I've also tried contacting Dirt Devil though their web site and they won't respond.
This was a total waste of [$$] and is now held together with duct tape. I for one am going back to Hoover.

Worse vacuum ever, December 20, 2002
This review is from: Dirt Devil Vision Swivel Glide Upright (Kitchen)
I bought this vacuum because it seemed to have it all, boy was I wrong. After only a few short months it was making a whistling noise every time it was on and it didn't suck very well at all. I constantly having to go over the same spots on the carpet just to get it clean. The attachments would keep falling off of it as I used it so finally I got so mad that I just kept those is a separate bag. The caster wheels were nice but to get it to go straight was a challenge. Spend more money and buy a {better vacuum}. I would give this 0 stars if it was allowed.
