Product Description
This 12-amp stick vacuum from Dirt Devil is an unusually powerful cleaning machine with a slim design and a lightweight structure. Weighing only six pounds, the vacuum is great for quick pick-ups, hardwood floors, workshops, dorm rooms, and play areas. It features bagless dirt collection, gathering debris and dust into a transparent cup complete with a filter for the finest particles. The vacuum's 11-inch floor nozzle covers ground efficiently and has a low profile for under furniture and cabinets. To ensure long life and easy maintenance, the machine is equipped with the Motorguard system, which keeps dust and dirt out of the motor. The trim unit is easy to store, thanks to a hanging hook in the handle, and it comes with a 20-foot power cord. Dirt Devil includes a two-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

My thirty year old portable sucker burned out its brushes and started screaming. My wife hated that hands and knees vacuuming method anyway, and BAGS? Fugedaboudit! So we looked for something that would clean our rugs and its contents could be neatly dumped into the trash. Oh yeah, and we wanted to do our vacuuming standing up. This thing is strong and light. It has a long cord that winds up neatly on the two opposing hooks under the comfortable handle And best of all... It is light so we don't fatigue when working with it.
The red Dirt Devil Power stick is easy to hang in a broom closet taking up very little space. It is great if you live in a small apartment, but it is super powerful and sucks up all the grit that gets in my big wool area rugs. My rugs look great after a session with the Dirt Devil.
I should have listed to the reviewers who gave negative review

I was looking for affordable, light weighed and powerful vacuum cleaner for my apartment. I have no pets, primarily wood floor and tiles, several rugs. My apartment is typically very clean and not overloaded with "stuff". In the past, I had Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner for several years (upright model) and was satisfied with durability and quality of cleaning. So, naturally, after some online research, I decided to get Dirt Devil Power Stick - M084100, even though the overall rating was not impressive.
Assembling the product did not take much time for me and instructions were reasonable while not perfect. I turned the power button on and vacuum cleaner jumped. It was first unpleasant surprise. I navigated it to the area with visible dust and before I could vacuum it, the dust flew in the air to my complete surprise. Well, it turned out, the air coming from the bottom of vacuum cleaner approached the dust before the vacuuming happens. Few minutes later I was sneezing and my eyes were getting irritated. I can only imagine what happen in apartments (houses) with animals.
The vacuum cleaner did not work well on the rugs either. After 10 minutes of cleaning I simply gave up because the dust in the air started really bothering and I could not stop sneezing.
And that was the end of my experiment with this product. I returned it to the store next day.
Powerful Motor with nowhere to go

I've had my Dirt Devil Power Stick for two months now. The motor has enough power to suck like crazy but the vacuum's design leaves this an impotent appliance. With the handle positioned high the suction is diminished due to poor design inside the vacuum head's knuckle. I'm tall so this is a problem. The front of the vacuum head is really designed to suck best in the very middle making it hard to reach close to walls or corners. Consequently it does not cover much area. And larger particles stay in the head. When you turn the vacuum off they will be redeposited back onto the floor. My Dirt Devil will make it's last trip today.....to the dumpster.
Pretty good little guy!

I bought this with a gift card I received for my birthday. I said I was going to splurge and buy something just for me that I really didn't need and wouldn't normally spend on myself. So, what do I buy? A vacuum cleaner!! Anyway, it's a pretty good vacuum. Nice and lightweight for quick jobs on floors. Not the most powerful for carpets, but it's not really designed for that. It's just as quick as, or even quicker than a broom and you don't have to pick up the debris afterward. Emptying the debris cylinder is very easy. However, be warned that it's a little loud. Over all I like it and would recommend it.
Too Powerful for its own good

I just bought this and used it two times. Like others said, its very powerful. But the power works against it.

First of all, when I started it up, it jumped out of my hands. The noise is deafening...seriously. It is much, much louder than my very powerful full upright. My ears actually were ringing when I was done.

It also was frustrating because the "exhaust" comes out at an angle that blows around the very dirt you are about to vacuum. The smaller amped Dirt Devil stick vac works much better. I plan to return it for the smaller one.
