Upright Vacuums Reviews

This is the 2nd Dirt Devil I've gone through in under a year. Like all of the other reviewers state, this vacuum spits dust and debris into the air while you vacuum.
While vacuuming with this machine you will be standing in a dust cloud in your house sneezing up a storm from all of the dust and allergens.
Then, after vacuuming, you have to go around and wipe down all of your tables and everything else with a feather duster because this vacuum simply transfers the dirt from your carpet into the air.
I can't believe this thing actually made it to market!

I have to echo the comments of others this vacuum has its exhaust right in front down low so it really would work better as a leaf blower as the exhaust pushes everything out of the way before you can get close enough to get it....I have never seen such a poor mechanical design as this ...and am totally perplexed as to how this ever got into production and out the door ...dirt devil should be ashamed of themselves, I will make it a point to tell others about there poor design and function...good luck dirt devil your days are declining

This is our second dirt devil. The first one gave us a few good years of solid service, so when it finally gave up, we didn't hesitate buying another dirt devil. This was a mistake! As other reviewers point out here, this vacuum literally makes your cleaning job harder. It blows crumbs and dust around in front of the vacuum BEFORE they can be vacuumed up. It COMPLETELY defeats the purpose for which it is intended. We returned ours after a few days of pulling our hair out and bought a more expensive model. Avoid!

If there were a market for disposable vacuum cleaners, this would be the perfect product. It is powerful, but not designed for longevity. Starting the day I took it out of the box, it regularly overheated after several minutes' use and switched itself off, unusable for at least an hour while it cooled. The manufacturer even mentions this in the owner's manual, as though it's a feature. The Shark consistently clogged with pet fur because the opening in the dust receptacle is too narrow, leaving the opening packed with debris while the majority of the receptacle is empty. Finally, it died completely after six disappointing months. There's a reason this is one of the cheapest hand vacuums--it's low quality, amateur engineering and won't last. If you need something more, look elsewhere.

This is an excellent vaccuum when it can be used. We have used our mainly for our stairs where using an upright was next to impossible. It picks up very well. We have had the belt break in it after only about three months of use. We have not been able to locate a replacement belt anywhere for it. The website for the company doesn't even offer a replacement. The manual doesn't even show it as a component. So be prepared for the same struggle that we are dealing with!!!

I have had my Euro-Pro Shark Cyclonic Bagless Handheld Vacuum for a year or so and love it.

This hand vac is only good for one thing but it does that one thing very, very well: cleaning cushions and upholstery.

It saves me much back pain and does a great job on cat hair.

These bags are a good buy here at Amazon although the bags are way overpriced by Bissel. You get the best bargain in a very good vacuum then you pay through the nose for the bags. Plus the bags are very difficult to find in general department stores ...

Knowing the fact that with baggless vacuum cleaners you have to empty the canister more than you probably would a bag I am very satisfied with this vacuum. It was picking up stuff that my neighbors Kirby did not even touch. A++++

After researching every vacuum possible, I settled on the Whirlwind based on good reports and price. My sister bought the Dyson Animal. I can't tell any difference in how clean they get the carpet. The Whirlwind actually pulled a half of a canisiter of concrete dust up through the carpet in our bedroom that had been carpeted over during the construction of our home. We had been breathing that every night! It's a bit heavy for my bad back, but lighter than my sister's vacuum and easier to manuever under and around furniture. I want to get the furniture attachement. I picked it up on sale at Amazon, plus a coupon for a total (free shipping) $130. It's the best bargain I've gotten in years! Worth it even at full price.

I read the reviews on the product before I purchased it and the only thing that concerned me was the weight. Other than that, the vacuum works great. I'm very happy with my purchase. It's easy to clean, but not so easy to go up and down stairs with.
