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.

Other Reviewers werent kidding!! I have 3 children, a pet, a sandbox (outside although you might disagree once they and their little friends all come inside) and hard floors....needless to say, a dust buster is a must in this house. I have tried various styles from legitimate quality trusted brands but I sill need a new vac every year (the last hasnt even made it 6 months). Within the first two minutes of use (even after full 24 hour charge) the motor audibly slows to a sad little whine :( I dont abuse them, change filter regularly, and do a real/full vac of the house weekly... These days, we simply cannot afford to keep replacing appliances at the rate they fall apart so I decided to widen my selection pool and go with customer-approved tried & tested....amazon and all of you. I was hesitant about the cord but I figured that the power level is the issue and the constant factor has been the re-chargeable battery so I had better go with something that will fix that problem once and for all so..... its back to old-school ;). I have never bothered writing reviews before but I tried my vac this morning and put it down to do so! Im in power heaven.... Like a previous poster, I started moving around the house just to see what else I could pick up - lol. As the kick back wind blew my hair wildly, I thought hmmm thats nice - even when youre in 98 degree summer heat sucking sand and unidentifiable bits out of car seats, the breeze just cools you right off.... In fact, its so awesome, I might be able to get my son or husband to try it so I can watch them then move around the house and I didnt even have to ask! It is quite loud but it makes the little ones run and I kinda like that too ....ah, mom finds a minute of peace and quiet (even better, the task is actually complete and Im done! - a word I dont use much). Theres a 3 year warranty, the price is right (10-15 LESS than the junk), and it comes right to your front doorstep (eeek!). My advice. Plug in & go old school....

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

This item does a great job...has great suction power.

This little vacuum arrived in the mail today about an hour ago. I just finished cleaning the stairs with it and I am pleased with how much cleaner the stairs are. It is easy to use, lightweight, and has decent suction. HOWEVER: This little baby is delicate. I am not blaming the manufacturer for this, but 2 pieces of this vacuum have already broken off. First, that red rectangle in the picture is supposed to be attached. It flips down for getting into crevices. Cool! But, I thought it was just an attachment that slides off. So, I slid it off. And to my astonishment, it came off so easily that it took me several moments to realize that it had actually broken off and is not unusable. So, I will have to do without that little flip-down crevice thing. Second, that small black rubber rectangle in the pic came off as I was emptying the receptacle. Again, I was astonished because at first, I thought it was something I had vacuumed up. But, no. It came off from the inside port where the gunk goes into the receptacle. Can I reattach it? Not a chance. So, again, hopefully it is not necessary because I will be doing without it from now on. Again, I am not blaming the manufacturer, but it would be nice if it didnt fall apart with ease at the carelessness of the user. It is a vacuum, after all, and when people are cleaning, we are not always careful; we do not expect our vacuums to be so delicate. The main parts of it seem to still work, but just keep this all in mind. I mean, it was the cheapest stair-cleaning handheld vacuum available. You get what you pay for :)

I love this little vacuum! It is perfect for getting spots I can’t get with my big vacuum. It is very powerful and I’m sure it will work great to clean out the interior of the car! In my opinion, it’s perfect,!

This works great for grandma as she struggles to push a heavier vacuum around. She is able to clean up debris including most of the down feathers shed by her birds.

Although I have a Dirt Devil, I was looking for a vacuum that would maneuver more easily in my automobile. This portable vacuum was the perfect solution for my needs. I am able to reach the tighter spaces in my vehicle that I was not able to vacuum with my Dirt Devil. Lightweight and portable make this vacuum a must for keeping my vehicle clean.

I would say this was exactly what I needed it for if it didnt blow everything all over the floor if Im not careful. I bought it to vacuum up my swept piles of dirt,dust, & dog hair my house accumulates daily. I thought this would be easier than sweeping each stair as well, but my back disagreed with that short cut. The suction is great and surprisingly it sucks up way way more than I thought it would before getting full. The problem is the thing blows my piles of swept hair,dust, & dirt all over the place if Im not careful holding it... this doesnt make it useless bc I still am able to get the piles sucked up like I intended to do with it, I just have to make sure I hold the thing without the air vent blowing in same direction of pile which isnt that big of a deal. The canister empties well & the filter is washable & thats worked out fine so far. I am sure glad I read most reviews before buying this otherwise I wouldve definitely broke the extended red piece already. Be careful with that part. I barely even use it bc its so delicate.

I really like the suction power of this little vacuum. It is kind of mediocre to use it without the extension or the hose adapter because of the distance from a surface to the opening. I dont know why it was built this way but as long as you know that its best to use it with the attachments you will be happy. Since it is small is easy to get to tight places especially inside cars. My wife cleaned her big suv with it and really liked the suction and cleaning ability of this vacuum. I cleaned my small car and really like the maneuverability with the hose attachment. It did not get extremely hot even though I used it for about an hour. This is my first small vacuum so I dont have any other experience to compare it with, but I was hesitant to buy it because I believe my big shop vac would be better but this is easier to maneuver, take out, and clean. I dont know how long the filters will last but they do get dirty fast. In the hour that I used it it got very dirty and I had to clean it before also since my wife had finished using it. The suction power however I believe did not change.
