Dirt Devil Cone Vacuum Review

The Dirt Devil Kone has been all the rage for a household item that serves both a functional purpose and yet is appealing to the eye. Vacuums have never had aesthetic appeal of any kind. You could easily say they have the attractiveness of a prostate exam but that was until the Dirt Devil Kone came along.

Let's not fool ourselves in thinking that the Kone can pack any power in its vacuum. It is only a hand held device that can sit quietly and attractively in a corner without drawing unnecessary attention to it. But it does what it's set out to do and that is to do some simple clean up when necessary.

The Kone was the perfect purchase for me and my wife as we just moved into a small apartment with limited storage. The need to purchase a full sized vacuum was completely unnecessary but we did need something to do the occasional clean up in certain spots. The Kone would do just that. I can spot clean the entire living and dining room area in less than 2 minutes!

The color options are White, Champagne, Charcoal, Blue Steel , Plum or Pink to allow you appropriately coordinate with your household colors. Unfortunately when we made it to our local Target only Pink and Champagne were made available to us so Champagne was the winner as it was the most neutral color.

Usage is easy. You just simply pull the kone off its stand and it's go time! It is a bit difficult putting the kone back in its place as there aren't any obvious markers to help you align the kone back in place. But that just takes a second or two to figure out.

The filter needs to be cleaned one every six months which isn't bad at all. The filter can cleaned very easily by simply doing a few twists and pulls. The amount of dirt the filter trapped over 6 uses is a testimony to both its power and the level of filth our apartment condition is in! Its 7.2 volt motor gives it enough strength to suck in hair from the carpet and little pieces of dirt from under the cabinets.

This will never replace a full size vacuum but for the quick need to do a spot clean, this Kone will serve you well. A must have for every household!
