After the first sample eyes I was pleasantly surprised by both the suction power, as well as the noise level. Although I had drawn only two days previously with my admittedly elderly vacuum cleaner Dirt Devil took again some out of dust and dirt from the carpets. The volume was surprisingly pleasant. If compared to my old unit but also no great art ;-)
Also positive is that the "ejected" air of Dirt Devil is not nearly as unpleasant smells like those of many other vacuum cleaners. Regarding suction power, handling and accessories it is thoroughly recommended. So why only 4 stars?
The mechanism described by the tube to save space to install, does not really work for me. Wnn you have the tube with great difficulty attached as described in the instructions, it takes about 10 seconds until the hose from the device pops out and is adjacent to the vacuum cleaner.
Despite this small thing the Dirt Devil is a highly recommendatory vacuum cleaner.
