Dirt Devil Handy Zip Review

Dirt devil handy zip DD150XL is a hand held vacuum cleaner which is ideal for cleaning especially inside cars or vans, stairs, tables, etc. It weights very little but still packs with some decent vacuum suctions (180 Watts motor - not bad for these type of products) + long power cord and also has the wall mounting ability thus making it easier to store as well.

The out-look appearance isn't that good looking (darker Red with dirt devil logo all over the place, etc) but still who cares the look if it is cable of standing up to its promises!.

So as usual, lets talk some of the main hardware details first.

*. The good thing about it is that it's not a battery powered vac (even though there are pretty good cordless ones available too like this oreck bb100 for instance) and has a very long power cord which is about 7.5 meters or 30+ft in length. Very impressive and useful.

*. As said before the wall mounting ability for easy of storing.

*. Durable rotating brush for deep cleaning carpets, rugs or car seats (upper or the under sections, etc).

*. Uses bags to keep the dust and has a washable outer cloth bag.

*. Has an extension cable, crevice tool and a dusting brush as usual for the accessories.

Some User Feedback

The rotating brush is even capable of removing decent amounts of animal hair from the carpets and rugs as well. And the very unusually long power cable will be pretty useful while using on cars or vans by letting you reach deep inside them without having to worry about unplugging from the main outlet. The belt that drives the brushes has to be cleaned and may need replacing after using for some time.

However don't expect very strong suctions and feels more likely a electric sweeper type utility anyway (well, it is not supposed to replace a commercial vac). So, for a cheaper price if you want something that is easy to use and cleans well for its size and caliber then the dirt devil handy zip is not the best but a pretty decent hand-held vacuum cleaner nonetheless.
