Why buy anything else?
All right...here's the skinny.
Two weeks ago I ordered a Dyson "Animal" handheld from Amazon after agonizing about which handheld to buy. I need something for my carpeted steps. My little Kone handheld wasn't doing the job, and my big Dyson is too bulky to maneuver up and down the steps. The Dyson handheld pulled up that cat hair like whoa.
But the Dyson has this stupid, stupid design feature, which is that there's no on/off switch. Instead it has a trigger-like thing, which you have to keep held down in order to keep the vacuum powered on. If you let go then it shuts off. Trying to maneuver that heavy handheld around the steps without letting go of the trigger was near impossible. I emailed Dyson about it (surely there must have been a trigger lock somewhere?) but when they failed to answer I sent it back to Amazon and ordered this Dirt Devil.
The Dirt Devil does just as good a job as the Dyson, AND it has a proper on/off switch. The cord is...
Good Suction, Small Dirt Cup
I like the suction on this little handheld vacuum cleaner. It really picks up.
What I don't like about it, however, is the very small dirt cup. I have a large dog, and I have to empty the cup every 4th or 5th step when he's shedding heavily.
It also gets very hot, and doesn't really get into the corner of the stair. I've tried the attachments, but could not get them to work well with the lack of instructions that came with it.
All in all, it's a good handheld, but it's not perfect.
Great for picking up Pugs shedding!
When I first looked for this on Amazon, it was not available, so I bought it somewhere else. I love it. I have 3 vacuum cleaners but nothing would really get all the pets hair off my dark carpet and sofa.The Purpose for Pets worked like magic. After taking it out of the box, my capet and sofa were clean in 10 minutes.
