2.0 out of 5 stars Anemic suction/cumbersome to clean..., December 22, 2001

You may get sucked in by the cheap price of this hand vac, but there are better ones on the market.

Some issues:
1) Suction is anemic. Unless you are picking up stuff on a hard surface, you will have little luck. Works best picking up tiny pebbles on rubber mats in cars.
2) Cleaning out the gunk is impossible without spraying dust everywhere.
3) The charge doesn't last long. After a few minutes, you'll be back to the charger.

Unfortunately, with all hand vacs, especially low-priced ones, you have major trade-offs. I've found that the ones that plug into the wall outlets have much better suction, but that can defeat the convenience of a cordless vac, for places such as your car's interior.

This gets two stars instead of one because it can fill a need for someone who rarely needs to use a hand vac and simply wants the cheapest one around.

Just don't say I didn't warn ya!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for hard surfaces., May 10, 2002

This review is from: Dust Devil Rechargeable Hand Vac, Red (Kitchen)

I live in a 3 story house with mostly hardwood floors. This hand vac has been great for slurping up the dust that accumulates on the staircases and for picking up lint and dust on ceramic tile in the bathrooms and laundry. For dense carpeting, it's only so-so. If you have mostly hard floor coverings, this unit should do the trick.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work very well., December 30, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dust Devil Rechargeable Hand Vac, Red (Kitchen)

I was just completely unimpressed with this unit. Was a gift, and it just isn't very useful, can hardly clean up anything beyond a few crumbs on the couch, etc. Wanted to use it to clean the stairway, but immediately realized how foolish this is with this device.
