Dirt Devil Scorpion Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, Corded, Small, Dry Hand Held Vac With Cord, SD20005RED, Red

After wasting so much money over the years buying rechargeable DustBusters, I decided to get a corded one! This is the BEST purchase I could have made. I have 3 huskies and it’s great for the couch crevices and stairs. When I’m feeling lazy, I can suck up all the “husky hair” (the clumps). For me, this is the perfect compliment to my wet/dry vac. Enough about dog hair……. this truly has amazing suction, decent size “dirt cup” (that’s why they call it) and the crevice tool is great for corners. The ONLY thing I wish is that the cord was just a little longer so it would reach all the way up my stairs. There are others that have a longer cord. (I think)

Works well. Has good suction.

This little vacuum arrived in the mail today about an hour ago. I just finished cleaning the stairs with it and I am pleased with how much cleaner the stairs are. It is easy to use, lightweight, and has decent suction. HOWEVER: This little baby is delicate. I am not blaming the manufacturer for this, but 2 pieces of this vacuum have already broken off. First, that red rectangle in the picture is supposed to be attached. It flips down for getting into crevices. Cool! But, I thought it was just an attachment that slides off. So, I slid it off. And to my astonishment, it came off so easily that it took me several moments to realize that it had actually broken off and is not unusable. So, I will have to do without that little flip-down crevice thing. Second, that small black rubber rectangle in the pic came off as I was emptying the receptacle. Again, I was astonished because at first, I thought it was something I had vacuumed up. But, no. It came off from the inside port where the gunk goes into the receptacle. Can I reattach it? Not a chance. So, again, hopefully it is not necessary because I will be doing without it from now on. Again, I am not blaming the manufacturer, but it would be nice if it didnt fall apart with ease at the carelessness of the user. It is a vacuum, after all, and when people are cleaning, we are not always careful; we do not expect our vacuums to be so delicate. The main parts of it seem to still work, but just keep this all in mind. I mean, it was the cheapest stair-cleaning handheld vacuum available. You get what you pay for :)

The Dirt Devil Scorpion that I purchased is great! Works like a charm.

Has great suction power. Its designed for a roller attachment for stairs, but this didnt come with it. If youre buying this for stairs, theres a version with the attachment. I bought 5 extra filters on ali for cheap.

The only drawback I find is the instruction booklet does tell you a rotating brush exists though not included. It has the power contacts at the opening to operate one. The problem is locating one. Otherwise, it IS a great unit for pet owners (cat litter, cat & dog hair) and for general light cleanup. Perhaps an accessory should be easily available or the booklet amended.

Very easy to use and is very powerful. I was looking for a corded unit for parents assisted living facility. Didn’t want to deal with having to recharge it or with something that eventually would have to have a replacement battery. Perfect for our needs.

I really like the suction power of this little vacuum. It is kind of mediocre to use it without the extension or the hose adapter because of the distance from a surface to the opening. I dont know why it was built this way but as long as you know that its best to use it with the attachments you will be happy. Since it is small is easy to get to tight places especially inside cars. My wife cleaned her big suv with it and really liked the suction and cleaning ability of this vacuum. I cleaned my small car and really like the maneuverability with the hose attachment. It did not get extremely hot even though I used it for about an hour. This is my first small vacuum so I dont have any other experience to compare it with, but I was hesitant to buy it because I believe my big shop vac would be better but this is easier to maneuver, take out, and clean. I dont know how long the filters will last but they do get dirty fast. In the hour that I used it it got very dirty and I had to clean it before also since my wife had finished using it. The suction power however I believe did not change.

Very powerful for that size Im happy with its suction.

Excellent suction and easy to operate and dump out. Picks up kitty litter very well, which was main reason I bought it. But it would be nicer to have the stair attachment, which the msnufacturer told me is NOT available for this model. In hindsight I should have just paid the extra and got the model that did have the stair attachment because this model has only a very narrow pick-up part or opening.
