Dirt Devil Razor Pet Steerable Bagless Upright Vacuum UD70355B

I don't normally write reivews, but I absolutely had to for this.OKAY. So I just got this bad boy. L I T E R A L L Y just got it like 20 minutes ago. My friend had lent me her vacuum when I moved in to my place back in April since it had carpet and I was super broke, and I contented myself with it because hey! its a vacuum I can use. It was kinda hard to use, and it kept spitting all the garbage back out the minute I'd even try to lift it a little and it was annoying, but I dealt with it. Fast forward some months, and I'm super sick and tired of strategizing my vacuumming to always end at the kitchen so I can sweep whatever the thing spat out, and so I go looking for some cheap options, and I find this little dude. I'm still on a tight budget, but I thought heck lets go for it. Everyone seems to like it, maybe it'll be worth spending a little more on a unit but waayyy below the $400+ Dysons.WELL.As of right now, I'm SUPER impressed. I'm both disgusted at what came out of my carpet and absolutely satisfied. There was stuff in the cannister I didn't even realized existed in my carpet, which then leads me to shudder at the thought of my lying down on it from time to time since it was in fact EXTREMELY polluted and might explain why it always felt so stuffy in here.Needless to say: I hated vacumming before, but I got excited to do so immediately when I cracked the box open.First off, it moves like a dream. You wouldn't think a vacuum could move so smoothly, but it does. I even started dancing with it a little as I had my music playing, which I could still here even over the sound of the vacuum. Its by no means quiet but it was enough that it didn't make my hamster freak out like the old one did. The suction is intense; I don't even have a pet (yet) that sheds but I got it with that in mind for the future and I can definitely see this thing haul pet hair like a pro. I mean it got all of mine, and I didn't even realize there was any hair laying around.That photo is from the first pass. That's nothing compared to what the old vacuum would pick up. In fact, that's actually more than the 6 months combined and I kid you not, because I still haven't thrown that cannister out cause it never sucked anything up! I showed my friend and she doesn't even want her own vacuum back LOL!!! My favorite part though, was the dumping of the gross. One button that opend up the cannister at the bottom. Didn't have to get my hands dirty, didn't have to touch anything or wrestle it out or shake it, just open and it all comes out. A++ design. Super into it.Anyway. I'll update this if it changes, but for now, I'm absolutely in love with this vacuum!!!

My husband and I purchased this vacuum from Amazon on June 2nd and it arrived approx. 2 days later with Prime shipping (great - yay Amazon!).The first three times we used the vacuum it was good (although it's quite heavy and can be a little tricky to move around... it will also just randomly fall over when you stand it upright because of the swivel design). However, the forth time we used it, it started making groaning and grinding sounds. Turns out the plastic end on the right hand side of the beater bar had melted into the piece that allows it to spin freely...so it ceased to work. It was annoying but I figured I would call up Dirt Devil and ask for a replacement piece. This is where it all got weird. Instead of simply sending me a new beater bar for the machine, they insisted that they send me a new vacuum. Ok... I won't decline a new vacuum, maybe they thought the model would have additional problems after this?? Who knows. BUT, in order to send me a new vacuum, they also insisted that we cut the cord off the old machine with the broken beater bar (I guess so we don't resell it - fair) and to send a photo as proof and then they would confirm and send a new vacuum. Long process but ok! We cut the cord off, send the photo, get confirmation that they will send another vacuum and then we wait....and wait...and wait. It took them 3 weeks to SEND the new vacuum to us (just got it in the mail today) and GUESS WHAT. It's not the same freaking vacuum. Instead of sending us the model that we spent $200 for (retails on their American site for $129.99 - so $175 CAD which is what we paid through Amazon with shipping added on afterwards) they sent us a model that retails for $73 USD (or $99 CAD). To add insult to injury, the new vacuum sucks (and not in the good way).I am EXTREMELY disappointed in Dirt Devil as a company and will be phoning their customer service the minute it's open tomorrow for a refund.Long story short, I would avoid buying Dirt Devil products if I were you...UPDATE: July 16, 2020I called Dirt Devil the next day to ask why we went sent a lesser model and their response was that the warranty allow you to be sent a new version of the same model or one of comparable value. When I pointed out that the model they sent us was $75 cheaper and asked where our money went she did not have an answer for me and asked if I wanted to take another warranty out. She mentioned that we could get the vacuum that we had bought originally with that warranty but we would have to wait until September because they were backordered. When I asked for a refund they refused and said to take it up with Amazon.I called Amazon immediately after and explained the situation. I didn't get the name of who I called but she was fantastic - so kind, patient, and understanding. I believe it was a one-time thing but she allowed us to return the original vacuum (with the cord cut off) for a full refund. I am SO thankful that this has been solved BUT I still would not recommend a Dirt Devil vacuum to anyone I know (which is why the 1 star will stay the same)

As a previous Dyson pet vacuum owner I was quite skeptical about this vacuum. We have 3 large furry dogs plus long haired cat that destroyed the Dyson is short order. Not wanting to shell out another $600 I took a chance ( for a fifth of the cost) on this vacuum.To all you people that are considering the Dyson SAVE YOUR MONEY!! This vacuum not only out performed the Dyson it has cleaned carpets that I though were uncleanable.I’ve used it now for a couple of months and am completely happy.Now having the experience of the two units I feel cheated by the Dyson claims and will never waste my money on a Dyson again.

I was hesitant to buy this but figured I would as it was $110 and my older Kemore vacuum is big, bulky and on its last legs. I thought this would be an economical temporary solution until I could buy a Dyson V10 or similar. Well, I don’t need one now! I was SHOCKED at how amazing this vacuum works! The suction is unbelievable, and the maneuverabilty is fantastic! At first I thought that the vacuum would be too small, but it’s great at getting into small spaces, and because the suction is so strong, I don’t need to go over the same area a bunch of times, as I did with my older vacuum. I love that it’s bagless, and I can see the amount of dirt in the canister.I had just vacuumed two days prior to getting it, then again when I got it, and I couldn’t believe the amount of dirt in the canister! Only my family room has carpet, and the dust that was obviously trapped in there was unreal! It also helped the carpet fibres stand up and look refreshed again. I feel better knowing there is less dirt underfoot now (dirt I had no clue existed). The attachments and hose nozzle are easy to use as well for cleaning couches etc.Although it’s marketed for pet owners, I do not have a pet.I definitely recommend this vacuum, even my husband is impressed with it and likes using it!

Do not buy if you have an animal with long hair. Even if you do your due diligence and clean the removable parts the hair easily gets tangled in everything. A couple of months in and the belt is broken. FYI warranty does not cover the belt. Fine no problem except you cannot find one even on the companys website.
