I had a dirt devil vaccuum for about 5-6 years and it worked great. If finally stopped working a couple months ago so I went out and decided to once again buy a dirt devil. This particular one is called a Dirt Devil Ultra Vision Turbo with a Hepa Filter. It was advertised as a great allergen reducer and 33% more sucking power than the leading competetors, well I beg to differ. At first when I got it I would vaccuum than use the hose to do the sides and corners,as well as the stairs but after vaccuuming I would always notice stuff still in the carpet....so I would try again.....same thing. I tried changing the different settings to see if anything would work and it was always the same. The problem is, that you have to pull the hose out from the base of the unit so when you are using the hose the bottom vaccum part is still spinning and spitting stuff out through where the hose is generally connected to. So I called the customer service number on the back of the unit and told them my problem, they said to set the vaccuum higher off the ground when using the hose and this wont happen.....so I did. It didnt change a thing. So now I have to vaccuum then use the hose than vaccuum again or dont use the hose at all. It is not an allergy reducer at all, if anything it puts more dust particles in the air than before i vaccuum.

Today I took back the dirt devil to walmart. The guy helping me turned it on to test it, took apart different parts to find the problem. He could not find anything noticeably wrong with it but agreed it definitely didn't work right. It had no sucking power and the height adjustment didn't adjust. Needless to say he returned it for me and offered me a different unit. I ended up with a Eureka and it works great!!!
