Dirt Devil Power Express Lite 3-in-1 Corded Stick Vacuum SD22020

THIS IS PERFECT VACUUM FOR: = Prefect for Elderly person who has problem with lifting and pushing heavy vacuums. I got it for my elderly neighbor who is super sweet and kind and she always struggles with her old upward big heavy and noisy vacuum cleaner. She was moved to tears by the gift after she used it for the first time. She said this is exactly what she was looking for and did not k now how to find it. It is very light but it does great job picking up things. It has motorized roller brush so that is the whole difference between the other light small vacuums that are junk because you still have to push them hard to move about. This puppy runs itself and you only control where it goes. Picks up dirt wonderfully. = It is perfect for anyone who is WEAK or ILL or otherwise does not have strength to operate heavy vacuum cleaners. Again, the magic is in the motorized roller that propels this thing so you only help a little to direct where do you want it to go. Also because it is SO SUPER LIGHT, like a feather that you really don't need to strain your heart or muscles or skeletal system to make it go. = It is perfect for young kids some 8 plus who can already help around the house and are ready to move on from a little kids broom to serious tool but are not quite into the management of a big and powerful vacuum cleaner. It is so much fun to work it and see the clean room behind. = It would be prefect for anyone who has a small space and need a quick and easy pick up tool now and then. So here is my bottom line.. DEFINITE PROS: - It is feather light - It can do great job on hardwood and carpet - it is easy to clean as all you have to do is open and empty little container, just shake it off into the trash. - it is two in one, just as it is a stick vacuum it is also a hand held vacuum, you just detach the hand and you have a handy small hand held vacuum. - the brush is motorized which is not only easy to maneuver as it propels the vacuum but also does great job picking up stuff from the carpets and hard wood floors and anything in-between. - does great job with pet hair but you will have to clean the roll now and then with scizors to cut out the hair that will roll on it but unless you have bug bucks vaccum every vacuum has the same issue. CONS: - If you consider the job it is meant for then there are no really any cons. - It is NOT designed for big mess or very dirty carpets as it won't penetrate the carpet as deep as the huge vacuum with huge suction power but for normal day to day carpet dirt pickup it is perfect. - it fills out after few days so you need to shake out the little compartment but not a big problem just one click. Overall it is PERFECT light feather vacuum that is ideal for anyone, a handy work horse modern broom really. Read more

I have an older model dirt devil stick vac and wanted to buy a newer one for the carpeted second floor of our new townhouse (and keep the older version for my first floor with hardwood). Holy Moly! I couldn’t believe how much this little powerhouse can pick up! It is fantastic on the stairs and so lightweight! I am loving it. I have a robot vacuum that I run daily on our carpet, as we have two pets who shed. Even with running the robot daily, this vacuum still gets tons of dirt and pet hair. It is oddly satisfying to empty that cup each time I use this amazing machine. Phenomenal. What a great buy and I never thought I would actually look forward to vacuuming, lol. Highly recommend.

Dirt Devil Express Light Stick vacuum is a keeper! A great lightweight utility or spot vacuum usage. It can't be beat. Can be used as a hand vacuum or floor vacuum that actually has working rollers. Common Sense design (with excellent functionality) and easy to set up and use. I have a big old school Kirby upright vacuum that is great as my primary vacuum, yet hard to get around nooks and crannies work for simple spot cleaning or cleaning for one or two rooms quickly. Recently my 100% indoor cat somehow got fleas... and I wanted a separate vacuum to do daily vacuuming (+ baking soda) treatments. Although the vet treated the cat successfully, I still needed to SAFELY break the cycle of frea eggs growing to mature adult fleas in the carpets and furniture. Look up flea treatment for carpets on YTube for details. The Dirt Devil was perfect for this. I could easily "clean the dirt out of the after each use". My primary upright (old school Kirby) bag vacuum would have cost me $$$$ in additional replacement bags. Converting to the hand vacuming option easily allowed me to vacuum the upholstery and other chairs that the house. I will update this review in case there's any more to add overall. So far things are great Thanks to the Dirt Devil Power Express. GENERAL (common sense) TIPS: • CLEAN the rollers from time to time, especially in the corners where any vacuum rollers would eventually bind up. • EMPTY & CLEAN it after every use. • I'm not sure of the duty cycle, yet limit your usage to 15 minutes at a time and you won't put a strain on the motor. PROS: • Lightweight & easy to maneuver under furniture. • Great bang for the buck! • Rollers are decent (be sure to clean rollers). • Has a clear top roller base so as to see and monitor the rollers in use. • Quieter than a full-sized vacuum. • Cord length is average (it's quite Ok). • Will stand up in closet, or hang up with attached hanger hook. • Great way to teach children and grandchildren (when old enough) how to clean the house, buy them their own. • Great for older individuals who require a very lightweight utility vacuum for typical cleanups around the house. CONS: None if you use it as a lightweight utility vacuum. PLEASE NOTE: For comparison's sake, it's not a $600+ Dyson vacuum... that actually COSTS OVER 12 times as much as the Dirt Devil Power Express "Lite" stick vacuum. Some reviewers complain about the noise, cord length, roller base does not lock when vacuuming or the rollers stop working (if you don't clean them occasionally). REALLY? Vacuums are not hard to maintain, yet easy to abuse if you neglect them... IMHO. Read more

I still like this vacuum but after buying a 3rd one as a gift for my brother, I have to update my review. Both my son and brother liked the vacuum but after about a month of use it stopped working as well as it did at the beginning. The brushes wouldn't turn when on the correct setting. They each bought replacement units. For the past week, I've been having the exact same problem. The tiniest bit of thread wrapped around the roller makes it stop. I guess I am more patient, I keep cleaning it and using it. I can't complain too much because of the pretty low price, but I won't buy another of this same model. Great little vacuum with a lot of functionality, especially considering the low price! This is the second one I've purchased, my son took the first one to his college apartment. It's so light weight and easy to use, vacuuming is quick and easy, much less of a chore than dragging out the full size vacuum. Highly recommend! Read more
