I have one of those too. I like it to play with from time to time. Mine is the burgandy one but I have the red power head with it ( thanks Andy Weder) I also have the electric hose with it. It is a powerful little vac with 1400 watts of power but it's downfall is the bags are way to small and for some reason it will NOT stay on it's wheels. Every tile I vacuum with it the thing stays on it's side or upside down. I used to fight it but I gave up, so when I use it it's always being drug around upside down ( only on carpet) I would never let it get scratched. |

Before any of these vacuums leave the staging room for the big room you must give all their rubber bumpers and bodies a going over with Magic Eraser. I really like the idea of uprights two deep with the back ones on a raised platform. Or three rows if you can manage it. I do understand how plans change as the dream takes hold and just about anything is possible. :-) Dave |

Speaking of green Dirt Devils, I found this on craigslist in California. I didn't have the money, and they probably would not ship it anyway, so I didn't get it. |

They did groom nicely,I found one in the trash with nothing wrong but a full bag and dirty,hardly a scratch,it really groomed my carpets good for about a year b4 it found a quarter I dint see. I found a MVP in black in the trash the handle had a crack right at the base where it screwd into the main body. I glued and screwd the bast I could and gave it to my aunt and her plush carpets fluffed up nicely too.

Im not sure about the green.I think the green was made for certain stores and/or dealer/vac-shop so they could say "exclusively at..." as far as the black ones they did say deluxe on them but the only real difference was the color IIRC. And yes the green that you remember was slightly brighter than the Pro-series i think. |

And the uprights hand a ton of names. This "profile" is an example. |

I never seen that one,Id love to get my hands on one =),or atleast see it lol. And I forgot about the plain black profiles and other names they had. They used the Classic tag alot to didnt they? I know now TTI hads the classic hand vac. It looks like the 'Classic" but I bet the hepa filter chokes quickly and it looks like it could be a screamer. Im sure someone can fill me in on that? |

Thanks Eric,I love it. My parents and I are race fans so I don't know how I ever missed this in the stores. I sooo want to get the Jeff Gordon and Dale robot vacs but they are/were 200 each when I seen the a year or 2 ago. I remember the DD Car vac I thought sure it would work better than a reg 12v car-vac. The car vac I have now looks similar to the DD and it works just as good as the 2amp the tools dont suck to goo though,but not bad for the in between like today its 23 degrees and snow and ice is still on some roads and my driveway so I will touch up the car with it this morning b4 my aunts funeral cause were using my car as the family car behind the hurse. Lucky me. Again thank you Eric for showing me the pic I will post a pic of my DD imposter car-vac when I get a min. |
