Dirt Devil Breeze Bagged Upright Vacuum, UD30005B

LIghtweight...Affordably priced..feature rich..some assembly required
The Dirt Devil Breeze Bagged Upright Vacuum, UD30005B was easy to assemble, has okay suction, is lightweight @ approx 13lbs. Using the carry handle, it is easy to carry it up & down the stairs. The vacuum features a headlight, rotating brush, an allergen media bag that traps 99% of dust and pollens down to 5 microns & it automatically adjusts to your carpet height. With a 10 amp motor, it has full-size power. (my Sears vacuum has a 12 amp motor). It also has a full bag indicator window which changes to yellow or red when the bag needs to be replaced.

On-board, handy tools include a crevice tool, extension wand, upholstery brush & turbo tool. The air-powered turbo tool does not have a motor; a belt turns a rotating brush. Because it doesn't have its own motor, the brush stops rotating if there's any pressure on it.

My experience using the Dirt Devil Breeze, UD30005B:

You have to choose
There are two type of vacuums in the world. Ones that will cost you a ton of money and worth every penny or cheaper ones that wear out after a year or so and you replace. The Dirt Devil is in the 2nd category it feels somewhat cheap but does a good not great job of sucking up items on the floor. I have taken it to my office and it is used twice a week. I have a small area and the bag is emptied about once a month. There are times I go over the same larger item two or three times but I don't expect much based on the price. This is my third dirt devil in 4 years for the office they do the job until one day they die. I have had a dyson for 10 years at home and it does a much better job at 10xs the price. If you are looking for a nice light vacuum that will not be put to use on a daily basis this is a great deal, if you keep your area somewhat clean and the vacuum does not have to work too hard this is a great deal. If you think this is the last vacuum you will ever own you are...

Nice basic vacuum
I received this product free for my review. The Dirt Devil Breeze came with instructions for assembly. For the most part, the instructions were clear, though it did take some careful reading and studying of pictures to be really sure I knew what I needed to do. One instruction I disagreed with was the statement that either a flathead or phillips head screwdriver could be used for assembly. Going from past experience, and because the screw wells were so narrow and deep, I would strongly suggest just using a phillips head. It is easier to maneuver in small areas, and you will know whether or not you are damaging the screw head. Another item of concern is that the side hose to the vacuum does not lock into place but needs to be firmly seated to the connection, or you will have dirt in piles on your floor. Once you know that, the vacuum is pretty easy to operate. I must say that for such a lightweight vacuum, it has a lot of suction. I was pleasantly surprised. The sound it made was not...
