Dirt Devil Scorpion Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Corded, Small, Dry Hand Held Vac With Cord, SD20005RED, Red

I read some of the reviews complaining that this item was lacking power. Well, I found that this vac performs great. Plenty of power and easy to use. Much better than battery operated versions.

Cleaning the car & carpeted stairs

Great suction ….love attachments…don’t have to worry about battery dying! Use it for cat litter sprinkles on floor…does fantastic job! Will be ordering another!

My husband and I love this vacuum ... However, it was VERY frustrating when the crevice tool that was attached to the vacuum broke off within several uses. The plastic hinge ball on the tool broke right off and now the tool is loose and no longer attached so it often falls off when using the vacuum. We did contact customer service but their solution was to disable the machine by cutting off the power chord, take pictures and email them, and then they would send us a new vacuum ... All we wanted was a new crevice tool to pop into place. To disable a perfectly good vacuum seems crazy wasteful. !! Hopefully, in the futue, they will improve in that design flaw in a good hand held vacuum.

I like everything about this vacuum. I clean inside my car and everywhere in my home!

Excellent suction and easy to operate and dump out. Picks up kitty litter very well, which was main reason I bought it. But it would be nicer to have the stair attachment, which the msnufacturer told me is NOT available for this model. In hindsight I should have just paid the extra and got the model that did have the stair attachment because this model has only a very narrow pick-up part or opening.

I am pleasantly surprised by the powerful suction of this little handheld vac. I have had other cordless handheld vacs before and wound up getting rid of them because of poor suction. This little Dirt Devil Scorpion does have a cord, but it is quite long, and I can honestly say that I would gladly trade the cordless function of other mini vacs for the power of this corded vac. In other words, this Dirt Devil Scorpion proves that a cordless feature is totally not worth giving up the power of this corded mini vac. This item is great for a quick pickup or touch-up if you dont want to lug out your big bulky canister or upright vac. I highly recommend this product.

After a couple years, it still works perfectly. Screw batteries. If this was battery powered, it would be in a landfill already.

Suction power is good and filter easy to clean. Vacuum is heavier than expected, very loud, and cord was too short to reach middle of my stairs from either end.

This is fantastic for picking up cat litter and food. I have a very and I mean VERY large cat. He is so big he has to go to the vet in a dog kennel and in order to fit in the largest litter box made, his head has to stick out the front. After turning around, burying his recent deposit.....he then turns back around and practically hurls himself from the litter box. Needless to say, he kicks up a lot of litter then finds its way to the floor...all around the litter box. This is a dream for cleaning that up. I run it several times a day around the box (after each new deposit) after I clean the box contents and put them in the litter genie. It has made keeping the area clean, a breeze. Now, in addition to his feline gymnastics, vaulting out of the box), he eats like he is entered in an extreme eating competition for cats. He cant seem to eat and leave things in his bowl...he has to zoom his head around his bowl causing food to fly out. I dont want ants so I want to get it up off the floor asap (though I am not as fussy about it as I am litter cleanup). This works great for that as well (I could put the food back in his bowl but apparently he has some demented version of the 3 second rule. Once it touches the ground, if he sees it go back in the bowl, the whole bowl is contaminated). The sound of the vacuum does not scare him THAT badly but he does not like it. I also love that this came with a shoulder strap, hose and attachment. The only advice I would give is to carefully read this. I thought it said cordless. My mother has one of these and hers is cordless, so I assumed and did not take time to really read this. It is CORDED (though not sure why I am saying that as it clearly states it is corded but maybe others may fall prey to their own slipshod idiocy). You can only go as far as the cord will reach but this works for me. All in all.....I could not be happier
