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.
