The lightweight and compact size make it the perfect solution for quick pick ups and daily cleaning. It weighs less than 9 lbs and features a retractable handle I got myself a dirt devil broom vac KURVE off [..] about a year or so ago and never quite liked it. Sure it picked up some dust and crumbs, but always felt like it didn't have enough juice. Not being one to care whether or not it was cordless or corded, I got fed up and decided to check Amazon for a better vaccuum. After reading the reviews for this model (most are found on the older Scorpion model, but its the same machine overall), I decided to bite the bullet and get it – I mean for the price, you can't go wrong. Got it today, opened it up and plugged it in – used the handy extension and OMG. OMG. What suction for such a tiny little vaccuum. It started picking up things several inches away from the nozzle. Now me, I'm messy when I eat at my desk. I also smoke cigarettes so ash gets everywhere and crumbs get all in the keyboard, etc. A few swipes with this baby and there wasn't a crumb or ash in sight. Decided to go nuts and walk around my entire apartment sucking up the dust and dirt in little corners. This is a miracle machine! Since I have no carpeting, its much better than spending the money on a whole big ol' floor vaccuum. Buy the Scorpion, you won't regret it!. We use it to clean up the stray cat litter that the cats kick out of their box and it does the job. Great product at a great price, how often can you say that?!. I bought this vacuum for quick pick ups instead of hauling out my central vacuum. I use it around the entrance ways that include tile and carpet flooring. Mostly I use it with the brush attachment. It has plenty of power to pull in the dirt without having to hover on top of a spec. I also wanted it to get the spiders from the corners and it does that perfectly. I used in my car, as well. It is simple to pop open and empty the filter. I added a velcro cable manager ([..] item number 906489) to the end of the cord to make it easier to wrap it up quickly. Perfect for cleaning the home, workshop, or car. The Scorpion Quick Flip comes with an on-board crevice tool that quickly and easily flips down to make cleaning those hard to reach areas a breeze. Its long 16" power cord and attachments makes this unit convenient and easy to use. Other highlights include a thumb-activated on/off switch, a flexible hose, a dusting brush for tabletops and bookshelves, and a flip-down crevice tool for getting into tight spots like between couch cushions or along window sills. The handheld vacuum cleaner measures approximately 16 by 5 by 4 inches. No, no, and.. not exactly. See, she didn't want to pretend to clean the house for Mom and Dad, she wanted to really do it. Therefore, she wrote to the Big Guy and asked for her dream gift: a steam mop. Unfortunately, my girls aren't quite as into cleaning, so I'm not counting on them doing anything like this in the near future. On the other hand, they do like helping and they have been known to volunteer to participate if they have a tool that is their size. Committed to developing innovative cleaning solutions their customers value and trust, Dirt Devil has been providing reliable and high quality products since 1983. As well as their cleaning products that adults have known and employed for years, this holiday season Dirt Devil has launched a line of toy vacuums to be sold at leading retailers. Designed to imitate adult products, the toys feature the famed Dirt Devil red styling that are sure to be eye-catching for young and old. But more than just a toy to push around, these adorable mini vacuums have lifelike features such as realistic motor sounds, light-up buttons and actual pick-up capabilities. How cool is that?. Retailing for under $25, I can easily see why a Dirt Devil play vac would be a guaranteed hit for the little one (ages 3 ) who always wants to lend a helping hand around the house. Dirt Devil's Quick Flex 2-in-1 has 12 Volts of power and a motorized brushroll that works for quick pickups on multiple surfaces. As we recently had hardwood floors installed in nearly all of the first floor of our house, I was immediately excited about being able to use this vacuum on any area rugs as well as right on the wood itself. As I began to pull it out of the box, I hesitated thinking that I should have gotten tools out. However, I was instead happy to see that Dirt Devil made it possible to go from box to vacuuming in barely any time at all. In less than a minute, I had the handle unfolded, the base snapped into place, and the battery charging up (I love the red light that shows me that charging is taking place) for use. Couldn't have been easier!. While the Quick Flex charged, I turned to the 2-in-1 Play Upright Vac and found that the assembly was just as easy (if not easier) as the adult version. With quite a few similarities between these two vacuums, it was easy to see that my kids were going to love being able to have something just like Mom and Dad. Each one has two convenient uses and can be used as a standing vacuum or by lifting off the detachable hand vac. Simply push the easy release button.. A built-in crevice tool pulls out of the Quick Flex hand vac to reach deep down nooks and crannies and a dusting brush attachment is great for upholstery and textured surfaces. As for the Play vac? Well, it has beads that whirl around and very light suction that can really pick up!. By clicking the hand vacs back into place, it is easy to push both the Quick Flex and the Play Upright throughout the house for cleaning quick messes whenever necessary. Even better, emptying both vacs doesn't take more than a push of a button as well, as each dirt canister easily releases and can be shaken out right into the trash can. This super fun toy has an MSRP of $19.99 at Walmart (I'm unable to find it on their website and only see it on Amazon) and really will thrill kids with its scaled-down similarities to the Quick Flex. Together, the two make great holiday gifts or just a unique way to kick off the New Year and a resolution to keep the house cleaner – this way the whole family can get involved!.
