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

Dang, this thing has some power behind it! I was originally in the market for a cordless model, but after seeing lots a reviews on loss of power and weak batteries, I decided to go for this corded model. I made the right decision! I was honestly pretty surprised by the suction power. I also love the little flip down crevice tool. So convenient. Emptying it is super easy too. Yes you pop out the filter and maybe that gets your hands a little dusty as other reviews mention, but its so simple and there are a pleasant lack of moving parts to it all, so its worth it. Highly recommend. It wouldve been great to come with something to hold the extra accessories, but hey, thats minor in the grand scheme of things.

This is fantastic for picking up cat litter and food. I have a very and I mean VERY large cat. He is so big he has to go to the vet in a dog kennel and in order to fit in the largest litter box made, his head has to stick out the front. After turning around, burying his recent deposit.....he then turns back around and practically hurls himself from the litter box. Needless to say, he kicks up a lot of litter then finds its way to the floor...all around the litter box. This is a dream for cleaning that up. I run it several times a day around the box (after each new deposit) after I clean the box contents and put them in the litter genie. It has made keeping the area clean, a breeze. Now, in addition to his feline gymnastics, vaulting out of the box), he eats like he is entered in an extreme eating competition for cats. He cant seem to eat and leave things in his bowl...he has to zoom his head around his bowl causing food to fly out. I dont want ants so I want to get it up off the floor asap (though I am not as fussy about it as I am litter cleanup). This works great for that as well (I could put the food back in his bowl but apparently he has some demented version of the 3 second rule. Once it touches the ground, if he sees it go back in the bowl, the whole bowl is contaminated). The sound of the vacuum does not scare him THAT badly but he does not like it. I also love that this came with a shoulder strap, hose and attachment. The only advice I would give is to carefully read this. I thought it said cordless. My mother has one of these and hers is cordless, so I assumed and did not take time to really read this. It is CORDED (though not sure why I am saying that as it clearly states it is corded but maybe others may fall prey to their own slipshod idiocy). You can only go as far as the cord will reach but this works for me. All in all.....I could not be happier

It may be small but it is so powerful it gets ever speck of dirt from the seats and floorboard of my car. Highly recommend.

I love this little vacuum! It is perfect for getting spots I can’t get with my big vacuum. It is very powerful and I’m sure it will work great to clean out the interior of the car! In my opinion, it’s perfect,!

What a great purchase! I am a 67 year old, retired apartment dweller that likes to keep my place clean and I just wasnt happy with the way my regular vacuum cleaned using the accessories, so I purchased the Scorpion. The first day I went crazy around my apartment. I pulled all the furniture to the center of the room and went to sweeping around the baseboards. I had to clean out the dust filter three times just in the living room! This little vacuum has tons of suction and picked up stuff I never knew was there. Then I did all the furniture. I usually drag the shop vac out to sweep the car, but no more. The Scorpion did a great job except the flip down nozzle is a little fat to reach down into some tight spots. That wasnt a big deal though. It sucked up gravel easily. I couldnt find anything wrong with this little vacuum. There were some comments about the odor and smelling hot. Not to worry. I used mine for a total of three hours the first weekend and that smell went away after a short time. I would guess it was just an over abundance of lube on the motor bearings or something. Others complained of the noise. Noise equals power. It isnt THAT bad. The cord is long enough for any job around the house, but not handy for storage. I coil it up and stick it through the handle. What hasnt been stated is that it has a place on the back of the handle so the unit can be hung on a hook. That is pretty handy. I am going to purchase extra filters because I had to dust the first one out several times and rinsed it twice. Snapping in a clean one would save some time when you are into the cleaning mood as I seldom am!! I highly recommend the Scorpion. It came very close to 5 stars!!

Love it

Powerful little device. We are in the midwest, invaded by Asian lady bugs Suck them up is major part of fight. I have 6-8 vacuum apparatus up until this one, I compared their performance by body count. This one leaves only porridge.

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.

My husband and I love this vacuum ... However, it was VERY frustrating when the crevice tool that was attached to the vacuum broke off within several uses. The plastic hinge ball on the tool broke right off and now the tool is loose and no longer attached so it often falls off when using the vacuum. We did contact customer service but their solution was to disable the machine by cutting off the power chord, take pictures and email them, and then they would send us a new vacuum ... All we wanted was a new crevice tool to pop into place. To disable a perfectly good vacuum seems crazy wasteful. !! Hopefully, in the futue, they will improve in that design flaw in a good hand held vacuum.

The side vents that blow air out just blow hair around everywhere. I use this for the hard to reach places and small areas of my home and when I vacuum one thing, it just blows everything else around so I try to tilt it so it will only blow one side. (vent son both sides) The suction is great though and its super easy to empty.
