Dirt Devil Reaction All-Surface Cyclonic Bagless Upright Vacuum

I am a vacuum junkie. I go through vacs like some women go through purses. Not that I am hard on them, I just get tired of them and want something new. This looked promising. Sharp looking, talks a big talk, but the preformance is unforgivable. WASTE OF MONEY. Those cool looking shiny spears are actually a cheaply coated plastic. After a few uses they will flake and be very ugly. But that is just the tip of the iceburg. Right out of the box, a routine vac, didn't even make it through HALF of the room before it clogged and instantly shut off. What did it clog on??? No socks, no belts/ribbons..... nope, it clogged on about a quarter size amount of DUST. DUST. Can't even begin to think what would happen if it sucked up a real mess like pet hair or cereal crumbs. It took nearly completely taking it apart to reach the TINY area where it feeds into the dust cup, which is where the clog was located. It wouldn't start again for nearly 2 hours after it "cooled" back down. This baby was cleaned up, taken apart, put back in the box and returned for a refund. Ended up with a Bissle Lift-off Pet. That lived up to expectations. Save your money and buy ANYTHING but this Dirt Devil.

I bought this vacuum since it was Dirt Devil and it was $50.00 off the listed price. I was concerned about the reviews talking about belt problems but for $100.00 I took a chance. First of all the vacuum does perform very well, better then my old Dirt Devil it replaced after 5 years. I also liked the function which allows you to turn off the rollers for all surface cleaning. HOWEVER, this is the problem with the belt breaking! It has a design flaw where the device pulls the belt up to turn it off, rubs on the outside of the belt! If you buy this vacuum, expect the belt to break after a short time. I have had this vacuum for 2 weeks and after checking the belt I found it to be worn and pieces of rubber inside the roller assembly. No a good design from Dirt Devil

At first I loved this vacuum! It sucked very well, and was a refreshing change from cheap vacuums. But 6 months later all kinds of dust and particles began blowing from the vacuum. It went down hill from there. The vacuum is horrible. What a waste of money. The same thing that happened in the previous review happened to mine. For all of those with positive reviews, give it time. I am sure (just like me) you loved it at first. BUT you will see that in less than 1 year you wasted your money and will be searching (yet again) for a new vacuum.

I recently purchaced this item and I am thankful I did! I vaccumed my living room with my older vaccum twice then vaccumed it with this one and it sucked up so much dirt. I vaccum everyday sometimes twice a day and it pickes up alot of stuff that I could'nt even see or feel! Dust balls accumulate in it and lots of pet hair! It's amazing and it shows just how dirty your carpet really is. Easy to clean as well. Very powerful.

I like this dirt devil it really seem to pull the 'stuff' out of the carpet and because I have allergies I appreciate the hepa filter. I also like the fact that there are no bags to keep up with. The extension seem to work really well also. Now lets see how long it lasts since I have only had it for a month
