Picked this little guy up at the local thrift store for $5 awhile back. From what I have heard, the green color is very rare compared to the classic DD red color.
This little machine runs pretty good, and works wonders on pet hair. I kinda like it.... :)
It looks almost mint green in the video, but it's actually more of a teal/turquoise color.

I have one of those that I just got from a friend who owns a vac shop. It is currently in the cleanup mode but should be up and running with pictures very soon!

The hold up of the situation is that while unscrewing the bottom plate, the plastic screw housings broke. So they've been cementing on and I really really hope that it holds!!

That happened to me too!

I was taking mine apart to clean it, and one of the posts for the baseplate screw broke off. 1 tap job and 1 machine screw later and it's back in business. I guess that the plastic gets brittle after awhile.

There is an old thread here about different colour Dirt Devil hand vacs, its interesting because I only ever saw the red ones, and used the red UK model 240V 50Hz  DD150Z at work to clean billiards tables with for years.

One sold on Ebay US a few weeks back for $24, and it seems like its a model 08510, made in the mid 90's.

Very nice looking hand vac.

 

I found that the motor belt drive spindles wore out fairly quick on these hand vacs, although I was using them for commercial use.

That's so cool in teal/green! I have a standard red 150.
