Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum Review

Although vacuuming is not a fascinating chapter in my personal book, I must confess that I was intrigued with the Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum from the start.  Finally, I caved in and bought one in a beautiful shade of gray from Drugstore.com.  I still like the Dirt Devil Kone but I have come to realize and accept that it is what it is -- a handy appliance for small clean-up jobs.  This is perfect for those occasions when somebody spills the popcorn but that is about the extent of what it will pick up unless you want to stop in the middle of the task and empty the receptacle.  It also seems to have a small, focused pick-up area which tends to maximize the effort you have to put into using it but it does get small jobs done without having to get out and plug in the major vacuum cleaner.

Another drawback is that it took me a while to get used to the fact that the cone itself is its own handle -- it just seems strange to pick it up off of its base and use it like a wand.  Somehow the handles of the old DustBusters (of which I ran through a couple!) seemed to offer a more secure grip ... but this may be an illusion and if I used the Dirt Devil Kone more, I might get used to handling it.

In one area, there can be no doubt that it has delivered what it promised -- I'll be darned if my Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum is not one of the prettiest home appliances I have ever purchased.  Unlike the DustBusters of old, the Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum is elegant enough to sit in my wall unit near my flat panel television and both have afforded me hours of viewing pleasure!  As silly as that may sound, for that alone I would recommend it!
