Sucks so hard it's scary
I bought this unit because it had a "reasonable" 12 amp motor. I figured it would actually pick up dirt even without a beater bar. I was right more than I ever expected, in fact thats my only complaint. It is so powerful, that the outbound air often hits your legs with a high velocity blast of warm air and bounces around your work area moving the dirt and dust devils around. Other than that it is great. Light, extremly powerful, and easy to maneuver into corners. Be aware however, the motor ...

Don't forget your earplugs!
I just purchased this vacuum and I'm quite disappointed. I'm generally hard to disappoint too. I bought the vacuum b/c it was 12 amp - "as much power as a full size upright!" I figured it would be nice to have that much power in a lighter vacuum that I could easily use for quick pick ups and stairs.
It's powerful all right! Hold on tight when you start it up. The torque nearly pulls it right out of your hand!
Then there's the noise... You'd think that a jet engine...

Totally Worthless
I bought this vac to replace an older Dirt Devil stick vac that I had for about ten years. I really liked the old one and thought I was getting a more powerful version of the it. The new one is more powerful alright, but all the power is situated in one tiny section of the floor brush. If you don't aim that section right onto what you are trying to pick up - forget it!
I agree with some of the other reviewers on the noise level. It's so noisy I feel I should be wearing ear plugs. ...

Great suction power but my ear is ringing!!
I purchased this 12 amp Dirt Devil after my 6 amp Eureka broke from 3 years of weekly use. I was very happy with my original 6 amps of power. However, I decided it was time to double up since I live with two cats that constantly shed. The DD does a great job at picking up furballs, sand, dirt, crumbs, small pebbles and many more from my hardwood and tile floors. Besides a great suction power, the DD is also light weight and stands up on its own. However, there are many drawbacks:1) Too L...

All the energy seems to go to the noisecreator
If the almost painful noise was anything to go by this machine would rip up the nails fastening the carpet to the floor. Instead, it leaves the carpet almost as it was before I vacuumed it. It seems to get rid of the dust, but everything bigger than a breadcrumb is above its capability. I regret the day a exchanged my mini Black & Decker for this underperformer.

Woohoo Power!
I live in a dorm room, therefore I have very thin carpet in a very small living space. Nonetheless, I would still like it to be clean. So, I came to dilemma of whether to buy a full size vacuum or go for something smaller. My family has always bought Dirt Devils - from a full size vacuum down to the small handheld Scorpion, and we've always had excellent results. Great power, long life, sturdy, etc. So, in my quest for the perfect vacuum, I found the Power Stick. What caught my eye was the sp...

Best bare floor vacuum EVER! A pet lovers dream! SWEET!
I can not say enough about this little thing. I searched for hours for a great vacuum for bare floors, especially Pergo. I was torn about reviews and what brand to choose. I narrowed it down to this one and could not be happier. First, we were using the dirt devil Swiffer vac. We have had it for about 8 months and never abused it but the motor is not running right and it NEVER picks up everything, only pushed it around. You would have to vacuum the house several times, buy all those expensive pa...

Great little vacuum
First of all, a caveat: this little boogur is as loud as the sound effects in "War of the Worlds," but who cares? It sucks the area mats in our kitchen right off the floor along with the dog hair and Rice Krispies.
We use this mainly on the tile and Pergo floors where our 2 dogs leave tumbleweeds of hair on a daily basis - we're in Texas, it's July and it's 108 degrees (no kidding). You'd be shedding your hair in this heat too, if you could.
E...

Beware!
I agree many of the other reviewers -- this product is dangerously loud! I frequently attend concerts and like my music louder than anyone I know and still find this product painfully loud -- so much that my ears ring for hours after use. Aside from this, this vacuum only sucks things up in the 2-3 inches straight down the center of its path. Sweeping along the edge of a wall is useless unless you approach the wall perpendicularly, going back and forth incrementally down the length of the wall. ...
