Well, I have been looking to solve a problem and think I have found it with a Dirt Devil vacuum. Now I am a vintage vac guy but believe that the modern vacs are interesting as well. I vacuumed my second floor this weekend with a Hoover Model 51 tank and a Hoover Model 69 Convertible and found them to perform admirably. My particular problem was quick pickups in my laundry room for a twice-a-day problem - my old dog, Ms. Bridget who loves to spread her food all over the floor while she picks through it, hard and soft food. I really didn't have the energy to pull out the central vac hose or a canister which is what it takes to pick up the clumps of soft food and the hard food. Here she is in action. |

It is interesting that there was some talk about the Dirt Devil Broom Vac, because I had ordered one before the discussion on the forum and it arrived today. It performs great. It sweeps up all the big stuff in one fell swoop. I think it is a great solution to a very particular problem. We will see how it works in the long run!

I had one of those. Its was called a broomy in the UK. I had a red one like the one on the packet and a black one which my granny has. Its quit good for a small upright. With it having a brush roll I found it cleaned better than a straight suction cleaner. Might take a photo of it when I go over to see her next week. James:-)) |
