Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum Review Summary

Reviewers really want to love the Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum. All agree that the Kone is cute. In fact, the new Dirt Devil looks nice enough to leave out where it may get used more often. There were a number of concerns with the Kone though. For starters, the Dirt Devil Kone does not have a traditional handle. That makes it hard to hold and use. Other consumers say it's a very noisy vacuum. While the Kone does pick up well, the holding area is small. This hand held vacuum must be emptied often. Reactions are mixed, but most reviewers are disappointed in the Kone.

Our Black and Decker handheld vac finally decided to give up the ghost after something like fifteen years. It just stopped taking a charge. I was sick of the old beast anyway, so when I saw the Dirt Devil Kone at a local store, I started considering it. I purchased the champagne colored Dirt Devil Kone... review »

Long story short, bought it, used it, I think it's broken, and I didn't do it.

 Details as follows:

 I'm a messy person with a messy (new) husband, and a long haired cat. The three of us have lived together nearly 4 years, and up until a month ago, had not owned any vaccum. For a wedding present, we...

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...

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...

With children around the house I was looking for something that could clean up small messes with ease. After having a Dirt Devil before I knew this was a product I needed to get again. When I took it out of the box I was happy to see the design and color, but found it to be larger than I expected. Seeing on TV I thought I would keep it out in the open, but now, no. Everyone at this point knows that this is a hand-held vacuum, so I will not put it on a table, despite it's good visual design. Instead, I have it tucked behind a table. When I went to use it I was disappointed to see how clumsy it is... review »

I must admit that I purchased the Dirt Devil Kone for its looks - I like the modern, cone shape that looks so sleek and "clean" - I hated having to "hide" my other hand held vacuum and always have to "dig it out" when needed.

This vacumm is always ready and at my fingertips.  It does the job it is supposed to do - that is - to quickly and efficiently pick up little messes/spills - This is not an industrial power vacuum that is going to suck up every little microbe - it is, however, great for its purpose.

I have a big house, a dog, 2 growing kids and a  husband - there are always "little messes"...

The Dirt Devil Kone is the best thing that I have found for keeping up with my kitties' litter.  I live in a condo with 2 cats, as you can imagine it's a kitty litter nightmare.  I hate having to lug around a small plug in Dirt Devil back and forth in between weekly cleaning and vacuuming time. I needed something that I could use a couple of times a day to spot clean, because sometimes cats track kitty litter.  The Kone is cool looking and is just plugged in next to the litter and the charging light is like a little bathroom night light.  It doesn't have the best suction and the receptacle...

We needed a hand-held vacuum, so I immediately ordered a blue Kone. I loved the way it looked (very cool-looking) and couldn't wait to receive it. After using it for the very first time, we fell in hate with it. The shape is very asthetically pleasing, but nearly impossible to grab hold of for those quick pick-up jobs. At the very least, rubber grips should've been added to make it easier to hold. It's also very difficult to get into proper charging position. You have to keep playing with it and hope to eventually get it in the right spot (you know it's there when a small blue light turns... review »

I got the Dirt Devil Kone a few months back and it has all ready quit working.  I sent an email to the company and the gave me two places that would reapir it.  I told them I had not time, interest, or money for gas to go two counties over to a repair shop.  SO much for standing behind your warranty, only if I do all the work.  I threw it out and will never buy another Dirt Devil.  The look good, mine was sleek and red, but do not hold up to use.

I got this Kone in deep Purple. It looks fantastic and most visitors ask about it because it looks like a modern piece of art when it sits in the corner awaiting its next use!  Function is good and convenient. It stays charged (with a nice pilot light) and then it's easy to use. A bit loud and you have to be pretty close to/on top of  bits you want to pick up, but it does the job of a handvac. Especially good for corners and cars.

I love my Kone!!  I use it every day to clean up car hair and it works great.  I use it to clean up stray kitty litter and to clean up what I miss when I sweep.  It is noisy just like any other vaccuum but for small jobs it is so much more conveinent.

 It also looks very stylish, I keep it right out in the living room and people never even know it is a vaccuum.

I love the look of this dustbuster but it just doesn't hold up. It is so loud and often things it sucks up come back out. It's also difficult to put it back in it's base properly. There is no indicator for how to align in and I find I am fidgeting with it to get it back in the right way. It's too bad, I was really hoping for something stylish and practical.

This vacume is okay, It gets the job done if the job isn't to large. Very loud and small filter which you have to clean about every 2.2 seconds. If i had to buy i again, i would get what my mother used!

looks great, cool "nightlight", inconspicous in my living room.  Difficult to hold.  Sucks up small dry messes well. I would buy again, but would LOVE to see a holding grip.
