Dirt Devil
question: What is the brand?, context: This hand held vacuum cleaner by Dirt Devil gets into tight corners of my home so that I can clean every square inch of my flooring--not to mention the moldings all the way up to the ceilings (as long as I get on a ladder)! It lets me clean upholstery, too. That's great. Although it's a bit heavier than I expected; this is a minor quibble because it's still light enough for me to be able to maneuver it. The Dirt Devil comes with a battery charger and the easy and quick ability to empty the dirt into the trash or garbage is another plus indeed.However, there are a few disappointments. First, it takes a long time to charge--hours, in fact; and then the suction began to decrease and lose steam after only 10 minutes! In addition, I specifically bought this to get into tight cracks along the tracks where the windows slide open and shut in my home. The windows have to slide along tracks with narrow inch deep nooks; and the Dirt Devil simply doesn't do this well. I thought that the suction would be strong enough to pick up dirt particles from the bottom of the nooks and tracks but it doesn't; what I have to do is dislodge the dirt using lightly dampened tissues or a paper towel and then vacuum it up using the Dirt Devil. Another disadvantage is that the exhaust fan is so powerful that it can blow some of the yet-to-be vacuumed up dirt or hair even further all over the place!I just wish this machine had enough suction to clean the dirt particles from the tracks along which my windows slide open and shut; the nooks are only about inch deep so that's a disappointment. The exhaust fan could use some reworking; and it takes a while to charge although it works wonders on upholstery, moldings, tight corners of flooring and more.I recommend the Dirt Devil for relatively light vacuuming jobs. If you want truly powerful suction and better quality construction, continue looking for a better made handheld vacuum cleaner.
