Title: Works great at first, now it's garbage after one year.
Review: We bought this a year ago, and I was happy with it at first. It picked up dirt well, and also worked on a multitude of surfaces (carpet, linoleum, area rugs). There was no way to turn off the brush for bare floors, so it had a tendency to shoot the dirt out of the back when you used it.The next thing we noticed was the HEPA filter needed to be replaced much sooner than expected, and those things are pricey. It was also a messy chore to empty the dirt container, forget doing that in the house! It took a trip outside to bang the filter on the sidewalk to get all the dirt out.Finally, after one year of regular use, our Dirt Devil was done. It started tripping the circuit breaker every time we used it. We had it looked at, but now it's in the trash. I won't be buying another Dirt Devil.
