Dirt Devil Vibe 3-in-1 Stick Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight Corded Vacuum with Included Tools, Bagless, Ideal for Carpet, Hard Floors and Home Surfaces, Corded Vacuum Cleaners for Home Use

For the money, this is a very good little vacuum. I wish the cord was longer. For a small apartment, on Hardwood and carpet it does good job. No bags to replace but has to be emptied often The cord is cumbersome to Rewind. Easy to store.

This is about to become my primary vacuum for picking up (short) hair from the dog. It works great on stairs (hard wood) and reasonably well on shorter carpets. What’s nice is that it has enough power to pull hair from a few inches away, so even if you don’t get right over the hair, you can still get it. Another nice thing is that it’s so small that I was able to partially vacuum the space behind my laundry machine. Convenient enough to easily transport to the office, where the custodial staff basically never vacuum. I tried using the handheld configuration with the crevice tool to dust off other surfaces, and it worked pretty well.Not so great on the shag shower mats in the bathroom. Also doesn’t seem to pick up all of the small, dense, granular dirt on the floor, but I haven’t got a big problem with those in my house. The lack of an upholstery tool or something to vacuum the window blinds means it can’t be my only vacuum cleaner, but I think I will be using it a lot.

I received this yesterday and just tried it out on two large wool rugs, two water hog runners, a wool runner and cat litter.The Vibe did a great job on the wool rugs and wool runner. The water hog runners are an unfair test for this really because of the deep channels in them, but this did okay on them... on the surface. The channels had rock salt in them from salting snow. The vibe couldn't suction all the salt. That is understandable. I always have to shake those out or pull out the big guns Oreck canister Vac. Without the salt being a factor here, the Vibe did a fine job on the surface of the water hog runners.As for the cat litter, it did great! I left the beater brush on even though I was vacuuming a Pergo floor... all the litter was picked up. 👍👍When I first took this out of the box, I had to laugh. It really does look like a toy because it's so small. It's definitely not for deep cleaning and I bought it just to vacuum up non stop cat hair in between cleanings.My one MAJOR gripe is the ridiculously short cord length. I couldn't even do my entire 8 x 10 living room rug from one plug which is centrally located in my living room. I'm definitely adding an extension cord. That's why I took away a star.Just from the four rugs and runner, the beater brush had to be cleaned. Between my hair fall and my long haired cat's shedding, the brush was quite full. Make sure you check that after each vacuuming because if it gets full and you don't know that, the brush will stop turning and will burn out the motor for it... so keep it clean.Emptying the canister is easy. Just remove the filter, dump the canister and clean off the filter. Simple enough.This will do exactly what I bought it for... vacuum cat hair in between cleanings. I'm glad I bought it.

LATEST UPDATE ON MARCH 18 2025 - I thought I had figured out a way to make this toy vacuum keep working. I unscrewed the part of the vaccuum that holds the motor where the turn brush is. After unscrewing the 8 small screws on the bottom of the machine, and carefully pulling the top portion off and around the battery and roller mechanism: I was able to see where a ton of hair had wrapped around the base, impossible to see unless you take it apart as I did. I did this with success recently and thought I had found a way to extend the life of this toy vacuum beyond the few months it had worked well. Today this pos toy vacuum again stopped working, so I again took it apart to clean out any hair / debris that needed to be cleaned. Put it back together, and it worked for 30 seconds before the roller just stopped working again. I will be throwing this pos toy vacuum in the trash and will buy a real vacuum next time. One that does not crap out after a month's use. Dirt Devil used to be a good brand in the past. Very disappointed in this purchase.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE DIRT DEVIL VIBE VACUUM UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE MORE HOURS CLEANING THE DARN THING THAN CLEANING YOUR ACTUAL FLOORS OR RUGS.UPDATE - SUCCESS! I got the rolling mechanism working again by taking off the top of the vacuum via the 6 screws located on the bottom w/a phillips screwdriver. There was a ton of hair wrapped around the rotator bar inside the lid on both sides of the spinning bar. After cleaning this on both sides, the vacuum works again. I just googled 'dirt devil vibe rotator stopped spinning' and quickly found an instructional online for this.I have only had this vacuum for 8 months, and the spinning mechanism on the roller has stopped working. I cleaned everything and washed and dried the filter. When I turn it on, the roller will only spin for about 10 seconds before stopping. The vaccuum still has power, but the the roller won't spin. The suction is also very weak. I want to return this for a refund, but I no longer have the box. I'm really disappointed. I don't have a lot of money, and this is a bummer. I've only used it maybe once per week on a oval 4 x 6 short height rug.I will update my review if I have any luck with a return from Dirt Devil for this Dirt Devil Vibe stick vac. Sad face here.*update: no luck with a return, and the vacuum is still broke. Picks up nothing. Was only used very lightly on 1 small rug, and broke after 8 months. I do not recommend buying this.

I've used Dirt Devil for years and haven't really had an issue with them. I'm genuinely disappointed in this one. I still have my non beater-brush DD and it's suction is phenomenal! But that one is also 5+ years old. So I think quality has taken a dip. I had one of the older beater-brush models from years ago and gave it to my dad who has a small apartment and it's just him and his cat. So I got this one. Man has it changed! The cup latch needs focus because it's flimsey. Don't even bother with it if you have pets. It doesn't do a great job on fur. If you're just using the base unit, you must use the funnel attachment or you almost have to smother what you're trying to vacuum up.If you have no pets or kids and just need it for very light cleaning, it's worth it. But otherwise, go with a different brand.
