Owned the DirtTamer "Deluxe" now for about 4 or 5 years. Needed to replace the rechargeable battery once about a year ago, but that is fairly par for the course, considering that I use it nearly everyday in my office, and in the car. Suction power is pretty amazing for a cordless, and better than the Dust Buster I tried. Also, easy to clean, which is nice. While it won't match the suction power of a plug-in-the-wall type vacuum, I think this is as good as it gets for a cordless.

Stands head and shoulders over the normal hand vac. We keep it by the fireplace for daily use in the winter....for all the rug & hearth debris. Great power, pulls up everything, large or small, has solid weight, useful tools tucked into its dock. It doesn't discharge air sideways when cleaning, returns to a dock for recharging and its next use. (We keep it flat on the floor right to the side of the woodbox). It's a high 5.

We have an 8 year old V2100 model...and it's great. Nearly daily use, never replaced the battery (which I see is lead-acid, not NiCd) which still holds a charge fine, and still a strong vacuum. But, the last few months it doesn't reliably turn on. So, while I'll probably pull it apart to see if I can fix it, I'm also looking at their newer models. We had a Dirt Devil before the V2100, the DD was so useless I quickly gave it to a thrift store and picked the Dirt Tamer randomly...extremely pleased with it. I wouldn't consider another brand, and glad to see this quality hand-vac company is still making them. Engineering wins over marketing! American automobile companies will never understand this.

Followup: Got the new model for house use, the old model with the wonky switch retired to the garage. The new model is even better: stronger vacuum, LED light, seems a little lighter, includes HEPA filter. Filterstream improved on an already great hand vac.

Followup 2: Finally replaced the lead-acid battery in the old model with a new, similar battery from a local specialty store. It was easy to do, just remove some screws and unclip the battery leads. Now the old model works great in the garage! So not a bad switch at all. Reinforces my prior opinion that this is a great vac from a great company.

Absolutely love this product, especially the wet/dry feature. It does a great job in the kitchen with all sorts of spills and works well on pet hair.

I got the FilterStream V2400 in December 2010 and love it. With an active toddler I use this thing multiple times a day for after meal/snack clean-up or when we come back from play time especially sandy or dirty. I have the charging station mounted on the wall in my kitchen and can easily grab it whenever it is needed. It is so much easier to use the FS instead of dragging out my big upright all the time. I also like how easy it is to clean and rinse out the mesh holder and foam filter. I try to clean it at least once a week since it only takes a few minutes.

I'm a bit sad about the brief 8 minute run time at full suction, but otherwise this thing is awesome.

The battery did conk out on us recently (after about 6 months), but FilterStream Customer Service got a new one out to us under warranty ASAP. Installing the new battery was fairly simple and it is charging for the next 24 hours as I type this.

I am so impressed with this mini vac that can be substituted with your typical upright heavy vacs. I purchased directly from the vendor, 'KillDirt' who shipped this product quickly enough (took 4-5days, free shiping+$5 off Amazon price). After initial 24hr charging, the vacuum met my high expectation as other Amazon reviewers raved. I have a dog that sheds a lot and anyone can easily spot on my hard floors in my bedroom and living room. This super compact machine sucked right about all hairs around floor and also picked up dirt so quickly saving my time. It is lightest on the market now also as cheap as any vacs can go but it does better job and is much quitter than those cost more than this powerhouse does. I can now finally throw away my DirDevil looks like the fist humongous computer ever built. I love my FilterStream so much and it makes me happy! I recommend this to anyone who wants to save time, energy and who likes to save their back and arms in small apt/house.

I must admit I had my doubts about this product when ordering it but decided to take the plunge & give it a try. I am so glad I did. This handy-dandy item is easy to operate, easy to clean & picks up debris in a jiffy & none of the debris falls back out of the cleaner. I can't imagine my life before buying this machine. It turned out to be the most useful item I own & it sure beats having to get my full-sized vacuum out for quick pick-ups. This is an item every household should own. I am well-pleased with my purchase & the only regret I have is that I hadn't bought it sooner. It arrived within the normal shipping time, was well-packaged & all the instructions & parts were included. Even an extra filter was included. A very reliable product.

We bought our first DirtTamer four years ago. We used it daily for quick cleanups around the house. It worked great for cleaning up messes left by a preschooler and baby around the house. The battery gave out on the original as well as some other parts were starting to show their age. Decided to replace our DirtTamer. The new one looks and works just like the old one. Very satisfied with the DirtTamer.

I purchased this hand vac almost one year ago to replace a B & D that was worthless. This has the best of both worlds. Wet and Dry. I am getting ready to purchase a second one to replace another old B & D upstairs in my house and will probably try the newer model out of curosity. Highly recommend this to all. It has great suction and the light makes it easy to see in dark corners. I use this at least once a day.
Happy Cleaning:-)

I was searching for the DirtTamer I already have (lower model, I guess, because it does not say Deluxe or Ultima) and have used for at least 5 years now if not longer. It has been amazing, and I would never buy another brand--most especially Black & Decker, whose products are universally horrible. I never lost battery power, and I never had to replace the battery. The only reason I want to replace it now is that it has developed a glitch--when I turn it off to save the battery and then try to turn it back on relatively soon, it won't come on. If I wait a little while, it will be all right again and as strong as ever. It's a little annoying but is still a great cleaner. I cannot understand the negative reviews at all--unless the company has started downgrading its products recently.
