Title: Why do they sell junk like this?
Product review: I share the same frustrations as everyone else. For Christmas, I asked my dear MIL for "A Dirt Devil" thinking of the classic, plad-bagged, rip-the-skin-off-the-back-of-your-hand-if-you-got-it-in-there vacuum that my mom has. I have Berber carpeting on my split-entry home's steps and it was an awful choice to begin with for stairs that act as an "entry rug" for the home (even though there is one), but this vacuum's excuse for a "power" beater bar is terrible. It won't even vacuum the easiest stuff off the steps. It is certainly not helped by the tight-looped varied level carpeting - it can't get any good suction on it, or comb the fibers. If i wanted a junky dust-buster, I would have asked for one. This "vacuum" has tainted my opinion of the hand-held "dirt devil" vaccuums being the best as far as little vacuums go.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
