i believe was made to compete with the hoover elite,since the elite model sold thousands.dirt devil didn't sell as many as the elites,as the elite won america over in the 90's.sorry,no pic,but i sure do wish i had one!

It was actually called the Dirt Devil Upright Plus XF. It had a set of vent louvers on either side of the bag door towards the top, which made it a little bit like the Dial-A-Matic, although nowhere near the quality. Behind those vents were foam filters for slightly better filtration. I picked one up in the trash about a dozen or so years ago with a burnt-out motor, so back into the trash it went.

These machine are a combination of Chase (vacman117) and Mine. When we had a mini meet we took this picture of all of our 90's Dirt Devil's.

My Dirt Devil Lite, which is probably the prime example of the Hoover Elite knock off.

My mother had a "Dirt Devil DeLuxe" as pictured above. My grandmother had one of the little ones as on the far left; it sort of looks like a baby Royal. The DeLuxe was a big pile of "meh"; the motor eventually crapped out and we got rid of it; the little one lasted much longer as it was always a backup vacuum for when you couldn't be arsed to use a full-size one; one day long after my grandmother passed away one side of the brush roll got so hot it melted the casing, and that was the end of that. Still have about a million bags for it, though.

I used to have a vacuum that look just like the roommate but was a litle bigger with an on board hose. What would that have been? It never worked and went the trash after some time. It was almost like a full size vacuum but was a room mate on steroids
