Dirt Devil Purpose for pets M140000 Reviews

I bought this little vacuum cleaner at Wal-mart on sale for $48.00.  What a deal!!!  It is fantastic for cleaning up pet hair from my two little white papillons and a white cat who shed constantly on my dark green carpet.  I do have to keep the little sponge filter cleaned.  I sometimes do this by rinsing and drying it.  Sometimes, I have another little canister vacuum cleaner and I vacuum it clean.  I try to do this every time or two that I use it and it works great!  The hepa filter (the thing that looks like an accordian folded white paper fan in the black plastic) also needs replaced...

Dirt Devil should be ashamed to put such a bad product on the market. The vacuum claims to be the "perfect pet for pet owners." Well, maybe if you have a hairless dog or cat. I saw the claim and thought I found the solution to our dog's hair problem. We bought it at Wal-Mart for $85 and it was broken after 3 cleanings. The hair from our Sheltie got caught up in the shoddy-built floor roller and burned it up. Big chunks of plastic kept spitting out of the roller since it was froze up. Since it is a new model, the local vacuum repair store didn't have a replacement roller and needed to order one...

I bought the Dirt Devil Purpose for Pets upright in April of this year.  In June, the ends of the roller disintegrated into tiny pieces.  I contacted Dirt Devil about getting a new roller.  I was told that the roller was not covered under warranty and that I would need to purchase a new one.  I was also told that I needed to remove the roller each time I vacuumed and clean it after every use!  I had cleaned it once since I purchased it, and let me tell you, it is so difficult to remove to clean!  You would think that if Dirt Devil makes a roller that needs to be cleaned after every use,...

We have quite a large pack of 8 dogs we love them all but we hate the hair. Even though they are all short haired Pointers and Dachshunds it truly is amazing how much hair can get all over everything. I hate that our home has rugs which seems to act as a magnet for the hair. I have spent years looking for the perfect vacuum. One that would be easy to handle, economical, and be a bagless system. You get all that and more with Dirt Devil Purpose for pets M140000 The best things about this vacuum is that the filter is removable and washable and the cup that catches the dirt and hair is quite large....

The Dirt Devil Purpose for Pets was given to my husband and I for Christmas in 2008. We tried it out by sweeping all of the rooms with our old sweeper (not for pets), and then we went back over it with the Dirt Devil Purpose for Pets. We picked up TONS more hair and dirt than before. The little attachment for fabrics works well too and gets the pet hair off of the furniture. We have six cats so we know about pet hair!

I would recommend this vacuum to anyone with pets. Cats or dogs. Especially if you multiple pets who shed lots of fur, often. It would also be good for people without pets because...

With 2 Golden Retrievers, I need a vacuum that really does the job.  This machine does NOT.  My mom was a loyal Royal fan and I had an old hand-held Dirt Devil that was an amazing workhorse.  So I thought the brand was still worthy of my patronage. 

 I can't tell you how disappointed I am in this vacuum.  It picks up beautifully, yes.  I feel the cleaning power is probably excellent. 

However, after only 7-8 uses, the beater brush seized up and started smoking.  I called Warranty Service and they told me (great news) that the beater brush was one of several parts not covered.  But they...

The Dirt Devil Purpose for Pets M140000 from Wal-Mart seemed like a good deal - only $79.99, picks up pet hair, no bags, just use a filter...After using it 2 times, the brush roll melted on the ends and the vacuum won't work anymore. I thought - OK, defective roll, so I bought another one online for $20, in the meantime, I got a hand-vac for about $20 to clean things up while I was waiting for the part to arrive (we are up to $109.99 now).

The part arrived, and I replaced the old brush roll with the new one. Well - after only 1 use it stopped working again - this time the brush roll melted on...

I have 2 dogs, one is longer haired.  The hair gets caught in the roller assembly.  This causes the roller to melt into the PLASTIC brackets that hold the roller in place.  This Happens VERY Quickly, as soon as you smell the rubber burning smell, its too late.  This renders the vacuum useless.  The roller assembly replacement is NOT covered in the " unconditional One year Guarrantee"  When I tried to purchase a new roller assembly, the part was back ordered, probably because EVERY ONE that has one of thses "purpose for Pets Vacuum has burned it up.  The manufacturer blames "owner Abuse". ...
