Dirt Devil Quick Power M0896 Bagless Handheld Vacuum

3/5.0

Pros:

Cheap everyday price.  Cordless.

Cons:

Suction is not powerful.  Good for lighter cleaning duties.

Review: Recommended because it is just plain cheap $$.  Good for spot cleaning.  Just remember real vacuuming jobs require real vacuums.

2/5.0

Pros:

It is small and light weight

Cons:

It is noisy, doesn't have good suction, short hose

Review: I don't recommend a product that doesn't live up to the advertising.

2/5.0

Pros:

Relatively inexpensive, easy to clean.

Cons:

Not enough power for most carpets, limited usefulness on hard floors, poor durability, very noisy.

Review: Not recommended because of its poor cleaning ability, poor durability, and very loud motor. For not too much more money, you can get a real vacuum cleaner.

3/5.0

Pros:

lightweight

Cons:

really loud, burns through belts, basically a glorified dustbuster

Review: Buy it if you're a college student for the dorm, otherwise, spend your money on something more durable.

1/5.0

Pros:

portable, inexpensive, bagless

Cons:

not robust enough for normal vacuuming, noisy, no attachments

Review: Because the roommate was not robust enough to handle vacuuming 200-odd square feet of carpet four times in two weeks, I cannot recommend it at all.
