Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum — 

When I first saw the commercials for the Dirt Devil Kone, I was incredibly excited. I love cleaning products and I'm particularly fond of hand held vacuum cleaners. I was on my second Dust Buster and both that I'd owned had problems holding a charge after a while. Also, filters were increasingly hard to find. So I tossed my Dust Buster and bought a Kone.

Right out of the box, I disliked it. It looks beautiful sitting on my end table, and I really do love the look of the Kone. But it's very awkward to use without a handle. The suction is pretty good, but the nozzle is so small that it doesn't really pick up anything unless the hole is directly over your crumbs. In the end, though, it does get the job done.

Another aspect of the Kone I have difficulty with is the receptacle. It's small and fills up quickly. The vacuum part is sometimes difficult to take apart to empty and even more difficult to fit back together.

If I could find someone who wanted it, I'd give it away and get another Dust Buster!
