Hello. I am writing this to hear some stories about early Dirt Devils. Late 90's and early 2000s vacuums are very nostalgic for me, especially dirt devils. I have a 2001 featherlite plus but I would like to expand on that. I put pictures of the Dirt Devils I am looking for, and I would like to hear your stories on them, and yes I know a lot of them weren't that good, but I still want them though.

I recall... Being about 3 years old when we had the Featherlite Vision in that picture. I never really payed attention to how well it performed but I remember we had it for a long time. | ||

I've had a few of these Dirt Devils over the years.
Swivel Glides, Vision uprights, a Vision canister, a Plus, an MVP, an Ultra MVP, the original Featherlite, a Sensation, hand vacs, stick vacs. I was never that fond of Dirt Devils but I did like the Ultra MVP I used to have. The original Featherlite bagless was a decent cleaner too. Better than the larger Vision model in my opinion. The original Visions and Swivel Glides were poorly designed. They always tipped over. Most of the ones I've found have broken handles and handles releases.

The only Dirt Devil we've owned was a red hand vac from the early '90s with a shake-out bag. We used it for the stairs at my dad's house. Having a brush roll made it work far better than using the shop vac on the stairs. We had a Hoover Convertible for the wall-to-wall carpeting. | ||

I've rescued a couple of Dirt Devils from beside the dumpster at the apartment where I used to live--the same dumpster that later yielded my first Kirby Gsix. The two most memorable were a green MVP with swivel casters, which I used for a couple of years and then sold for twice what it had cost me to fix it and a baby blue Featherlight that I ended up donating to my church. They've been using it to vacuum the chancel area once a week for almost four years now.
