Dirt DevilMulti-Surface Extended Reach+ Bagless Vacuum Cleaner, Upright for Carpet and Hard Floor, Lightweight, UD76300V, Red

Year 0, July 5. 1251 hrsThe situation is looking bleak. The move to our promised lands was one that we regarded with joy. Ignorance. We paid no heed to the trials that would await us, and we suffered for it. Look at us now: our tactics aren't working. Our weapons are failing. Morale is at an all-time low. They pick and prod at us no matter what we use-- and they laugh at us while doing so. I have picked off countless of them, but for every one I kill, another three spring up in their place.The enemy that has near driven me and my men to insanity: fleas.We had a weapon before, an effective one. It was not the strongest, but it got the job done. I saw it in my men's eyes, though: we all knew that it was meant to be a temporary measure, only until our footing in the new lands was secure. It is precarious at best at this point, but we are running out of options. I know it is time. We all know.Begrudgingly, I call in for reinforcements.Year 0, July 6. 0756 hrsA communication from the reinforcements came in: they are on their way. ETA is scheduled to be by 2000 hrs tomorrow.My men were staring at me. I didn't understand why, but Cpt Pepper and Sgt Mint were brave enough to answer: for the first time in months, I was smiling.Year 0, July 7. 1318 hrsThe reinforcements have arrived. They did not require much time to prepare, five minutes at most, but we would not march until later in the day. Time was still needed to prepare. Security in these promised lands have to be maintained, and negotiations are constantly underway.Your days are numbered, fleas.Year 0, July 7. 1838 hrs.BATTLE ONE: LIVING ROOMThe time has come, and the reinforcements are prepared. Not intending to give the enemy any quarter, we begin our assault. The reinforcements let out a battle cry that surprised even me, and made me fear for my men: a little too enthusiastic, I feared our border neighbors would think we were encroaching on their territory. As loud as they were, though, they were effective—VERY effective. In all my years in service, I have never seen more effective work. They moved hard and fast, pushing against the enemy, until the territory was cleared of their pestilence. Their work was thorough, with a power I've never seen. In a matter of minutes, the territory was as it was before the fleas invaded.For the first time in months, I dared to hope for a brighter future.Year 0, July 7. 1847 hrsBATTLE TWO: BEDROOM+WALKWAYThe reinforcements moved with the same efficacy as they did in the first territory. They show no signs of fatigue, no signs of performance loss—they are still very much cleaning house against the enemy and then some. It is expected, but no less thrilling.Cpt Pepper and Sgt Mint are nowhere to be found. I wager they're just as spooked about their rally cries as I was. I do not blame them.Year 0, July 7. 1853 hrsBATTLE THREE: STAIRWAYThe reinforcements have run into their first roadblock. I am not used to their methods, and though I adapted as well as I could, there was still quite a lot of ground to cover in this terrain. I may have to consider a special task force for this terrain. They've done what they can, and they've done it well.Year 0, July 7. 1917 hrsBATTLE FOUR: OFFICEThe battleground was a mess. There was debris from all the past battles in here. The land was barely recognizable from what it once was. The reinforcements understood the situation, and adapted with aplomb. In a matter of minutes, the terrain was cleared. We reclaimed the land and the corruption was contained.I'm staring over the results of our battle, and I can only dare to have a sliver of hope.Year 0, July 7. 1925 hrsOur forces have retreated back to camp, the reinforcements now working on maintenance and cleaning. Sgt Mint is settled beside me, shaken by the whirlwind she just experienced, but now relaxed. We are discussing tactics with the arrival of our reinforcements now watching out backs. They were effective before, but now they were a force to be reckoned with. Sgt Mint, for the first time since they arrived, understood my newfound optimism.We have won many battles this day... but the war has just begun.

New review (Edit):I was unfair in my original review of this product. This vacuum is POWERFUL. Once I got over some real life problems that prevented me from returning/fixing the vacuum I ordered, I finally sat down and took it apart and fixed the belt (after ordering new ones). Turns out the belt didn't actually break it just came unseated - probably because of the sheer horsepower this thing has.Every time I use this I'm actually disgusted by the amount of dirt it picks up. 10/10 would probably buy again tbh. It's a very cheap, strong vacuum and is easy to clean. It's worth noting that I've been using it for about 6 months now and I haven't had any problems since putting the belt back on. I did the same thing to the replacement vacuum they had sent and gifted it to my mom. Not sure how both vacuums managed to do the same thing with the belt but they work perfect now.Original review:I used the vacuum twice, belt broke. I asked for a replacement, that came (pretty fast tbh) and did the same exact thing. I didn't end up sending the vacuums back due to rl stressors, but I'm sure the 3rd would have done the same. They were dusty boys though, the vacuums tried their hardest before they pooped out.

It vacuums the carpet well, very easy to disassemble for cleaning and simple enough to remember where pieces go while reassembling. Light weight and easy to move and so far pretty durable (my baby likes to play with it and not so gently sometimes) love the extension handle and ease of emptying the dirt. Suction hose is strong and works well even when extended at max.Dislikes: It's VERY loud, there isn't a way to adjust the height for high/low carpet and I think this is the reason it vacuums horribly on the hard floor. Basically shouldn't be advertised as dual bc it definitely lacks there. The placement of where to wrap up the cord is sometimes inconvenient due to attatment being stored in the way. Also very odd that you have to manually push down on the whole bottom for the recline instead of a simple foot pedal. Sometimes a little hard to push but not too bad. Fat so hard to reach very far under furniture (ie: beds, etc) also bc it's wide it's hard to get anything that's too close against walls or in corners but I just pull out the hose.All in all it is decent and I feel fair for the price. Definitely could use some improvements and a little misleading in description but still would recommend thus far.

Works beautifully. A little heavy to handle, but does a great job.

I bought two of these vacuums in the last year. One for myself, and one for my in-laws. Both had the same issues almost immediately.+This vacuum is lightweight.+Suction is good.+Handy extension.+Filters clean easily.-There is no hard wood/carpet/thickness adjustment.-Handle bends in half if you’re pushing through thick rug.-Handle splits apart, and cannot be pressed back together.-Cord goes over accessory piece and is cumbersome.-Extension hose doesn’t stay clipped, I had to use sticky Velcro to keep it in place.-Upright “stick” seaming to wear quickly. Beginning to fall on it’s own without me pushing with my foot to unlock it from the upright position.-Extremely loud.
