I have the Dirt Devil acquired because we have a small half-timbered house with a lot of stairs and 4 cats. Since it is very troublesome the vacuum cleaner ever to haul the narrow stairs up and down. With the DD I suck in between every now the floor mats in the entrance area, where you will quickly much cat hair and dirt collects in it. That's very difficult with a normal vacuum cleaner because the mats from sticking while sucking quasi. The DD makes the super and brush the hair gets away super. If you still fast times on the stairs draws the corners, you need the big sucker also only the large, easily accessible surfaces to suck. And even more rarely, since you much in advance - that is floor mats - intercept, because so simple and fast. If you have ever sucked a 4-story cat tree with a vacuum cleaner, will be impressed by the handiness and efficiency of the small devil. However, brush up on even longer human hair that can make the small part rather quickly ineffective. One must then take the trouble to disassemble the brush: Loosen the two screws and the brush can be opened and you can easily take out the roller. I do not mind, but there are certainly other sensitivities. Disassemble brush, remove hair and reassemble takes about 10 min. Without the brush the benefit of the device for my purposes would be worth only 20%. For that, I'll take the effort gladly accept. Better can be technically in this format can not solve. Very simple is to clean the dust compartment, which you have to repeat several times during a suction passage depending on the amount of dirt, since the logically small prefilter quickly clogged with lint, cat hair, etc. and then reduces the effect. The lint must also pick out by hand, as in the case of a dryer lint filter. The solid-looking Feinstaubfilter had not be cleaned up now. The brush attachment can be easily pull the brushless sucking, like a plug from the socket. The unit if you are not applying the standards of a large sucker super.
