Hello, Vacuum community, I am so happy to be able to use a website like this one. I have been interested in 80's-90's vacs on and off for years, and am back in the vacuum cleaner groove. Today I went all the way down to San Diego to get a Dirt Devil Toughmate, because the only article I can find on this vac is on this website, and the user didn't have much info on it. I am here to answer all questions on it. It uses type 4 belts, and d style bags. Very loud, like other cleaners from its time, and half good build quality. The cord hook's clips all snapped off so I just glued it in place and wont be able to turn it to release whole cord at once. It's fine though, because I am used to this from my DD Broom Vac. I am very happy to have a rare hard body cleaner, and love to look at it and use its amazing power. Also, is a Bissell Plus lift off from about the same time rare? Not many people have one, but I assume that is because they all broke and nobody wanted to fix it. It's the Bad kind of rare I guess...

I like the DD they look nice.
The Bissell liftoff vacuum is bad. I got one from parents motor was shot. My wife's co-worker sent 2 for me to look at seen if I could fix them. The motors we're toast. Here's how I told my wife to tell her co-worker about the vacuums. It's like driving a huge pickup truck that is powered by a 3 cylinder Geo metro motor. It's a 12 amp motor my 8 amp compact/ ametek motor is 3 times if not 4x. I have a can vac and a triangle head straight suction royal. The name eludes me now. I also have a number of there handvscs.

I love that hard bodied Dirt Devil. I have a red version of that vacuum without the headlight. |
