Amazon.com Review This 10-amp stick vacuum from Dirt Devil is an unusually powerful cleaning machine with a slim design and a lightweight structure. Weighing only six pounds, the vacuum is great for quick pick-ups, hardwood floors, workshops, dorm rooms, and play areas. It features bagless dirt collection, gathering debris and dust into a transparent cup complete with a filter for the finest particles. The vacuum's 11-inch floor nozzle covers ground efficiently and has a low profile for under furniture and cabinets. To ensure long life and easy maintenance, the machine is equipped with the Motorguard system, which keeps dust and dirt out of the motor. The trim unit is easy to store, thanks to a hanging hook in the handle, and it comes with a 20-foot power cord. Dirt Devil includes a two-year warranty.

For LazyCats I bought this Dirt Devil 12 amp after my 6 amps Eureka broke with three years of weekly use. I was very happy with my original 6 amps of power. However, I decided it was time to fold, since I live with two cats who shed constantly. DD does a great job of taking fur balls, sand, dirt, crumbs, small pebbles and many more of my hardwood and tile floors. Besides a great suction power, the DD is also lightweight and stand on their own. However, there are many disadvantages: 1) Too Loud! I wear ear plugs every time I use this machine (seriously!!). We already know that has 12 amps of power ... not need to hear it! 2) The cable is too short. I am 5 feet 6 inches and I honestly feel that the handle is about 2-3 inches too short. I always find myself bending my back while using this machine.3) The vacuum head does not swivel. I liked the fact that my old Eureka had the ability to rotate it certainly made vacuuming easier. 4) Air flows from the side vents, sweeping what I need to vacuum the floor. It's really annoying because I have to "hunt" I want vaccum.5) Too big to go under my couch. I can not get underneath the empty head. The whole body does not because it is too big. I have to clean the remaining 2-3 feet of space with a faster. Although DD are excellent suction power, I prefer my old Eureka 6 amps, which cleaned just as well without the engine noise! If you do not want to run around your hunting dirt while wearing earplugs, and then let the DD and buy another vacuum. 56 of 61 people found this review helpful. Power Woohoo! By Empyreal I live in a dorm room, so I thin carpet in a very small living space. However, I would 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 specified use for dorm rooms. I figured the price was right, free shipping, and ordered it right away. Dang is this vacuum powerful! It's as powerful as a full-size vac, yet only half the size and weight. Granted it is really loud, but I don't mind that as it takes no time whatsoever to get hte vacuuming done. I got my entire room done in less than a minute, but my floor is extremely clean. I couldn't believe how much it picked up! There's a huge mouse-sized hair ball in the cup, and I didn't even see hair on the carpet! So, although I was a bit anxious about not having a roller bar, I know it's not going to be a problem because of the powerful suction The cup is easy to remove and empty, and it even has a filter in the cup to help. The cord's length is perfect for my room, but I think it would be just fine for any room. It's also very maneuverable, which makes up for the lack of attachments. I was able to get the nozzle in all cracks and corners, and it was incredibly easy to turn around while vacuumingThe only problems I have with the vacuum (but not enough for me to give it 4 stars) is its noise and the weight. The weight is good for vacuuming as you don't have to put much muscle into pushing it around. But, as far as standing it up in a corner, I foresee it falling. If you hang it up on a door with the hook that shouldn't be a problem, but if you're going to stand it up, I recommend standing it near a wall It's a lot of weight on the bottom and just the stick on top. It can stand up on its own, but it's also easy to knock down. 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Sucks so hard it's scary By Calvin Thomas I bought this unit because it had a "reasonable" 12 amp motor. I figured it would.
