Dirt Devil Express V6 Cordless Hand Vacuum - BD10200



Handy!
Im a college student and needed a little something for my dorm to keep it clean. I've never bought a vacuum before so I was timid about it because of that. I must say that I am absolutely pleased and I use it whenever I get the chance :) cleans the entire floor with great power, and gets to those nooks and crannies that normal sized vacuums can't.
I would have liked to know if the filter needed replacing at any point in use but that was easily remedied when I received the product. It can be replaced but it looks like it can also be washed. Overall, the perfect dorm vacuum.

Good at what it does!
In looking at a hand vacuum, I'm generally interested in three criteria:
1. Is it powerful enough?
2. Is it easy to charge?
3. Is it easy to empty?

The answer to all three has been yes.

1. The Dirt Devil Express V6 has picked up everything I've needed it to, even stray bits of exceptionally light styrofoam floaties that are virtually impossible to pick up by hand and are difficult for some hand vacs to capture as well.

2. Unlike handvacs I've had in the past that rest on obnoxious charger stands with poor charging contacts, the power cord plugs right into the handle of the Express V6, creating less clutter and a more efficient charge.

3. The Express V6 empties in two simple steps. It doesn't hold a lot, but emptying is so effortless that it really doesn't matter.

I don't consider myself a handvac expert, but the Express V6 has met all of my needs with ease. I'm quite happy with it.

Very little suction power, very limited usefulness.
I bought this to use in spaces where my broomstick vac will not fit, and to use in the car. It has so very little suction power that I cannot use it in the car. It will vacuum small grains of sand, tiny flakes and specks, but that is it. It does not come with a charging stand, so you plug it in to the charger cord in the same way you would a cell phone or other electronic device. I found it a bit of a challenge to find a suitable location to use for charging it. The dirt cup is very, very small and the filter is flimsy. Empty it often.

On the positive side, it does reach small crevices with the flip out nozzle. It is easy to empty the dirt cup.

If I had it to do over, I would not purchase this item.
