Dirt Devil Featherlite Bagless Vacuum

Dirt devil featherlite is an upright vacuum cleaner that has a wider cleaning nozzle (which helps the user to cover more ground with ease and fast at the same time), low weight (just above 6kg), HEPA filters and fold-down handle when done takes a significantly lesser amount of space ... perfect for a tightly packed storing needs.

Here are some of its main hardware details first...

*. Weight of 6.3 kg is not the lightest as the manufacture claims to be but for an upright this is "light".

*. The wheels that holds the weight is unusually smaller but they are quite smooth.

User Feedback Section

When considered the weight and few of the nozzle attachments that comes with the featherlite, if you have stairs or some upper section cleanings to be done then this product might come real handy for you. The HEPA filters can be maintained with ease (easy to remove and insert).

To switch between heights use the lever at the upper section. Where the wider nozzle doesn't fit the crevice tool with the hose extension can be used. There is no headlight, which is not  a big thing but can be useful in darker corners or under beds for instance. It is not the most powerful one but does make some noises though.

The dust-bin is not the best of its kind. Meaning that even though they claim it to be an easy to empty one, but the users confirm it otherwise. So if you're allergic to dust and want a vacuum with safer disposal method then this may not be for you. Anyway, if you want a vacuum that is easy to use, light in weight, moderate suctions and is okay with the higher noise levels, then the Featherlight 088520 is a pretty decent product. But not a top quality one anyway.
