You may be reluctant to get a hand vacuum cleaner because you had one in the past and it just seemed to blow dust around. Well, the great thing about the M0100 is that it has a HEPA filter on it that is going to trap nearly 100% of common allergens and dust, so you won’t have to breathe pollutants in.

Another great thing about this machine is that it has a long cord for a hand vac. At 20 feet long, you can plug it in an outlet in your garage and clean the whole car without any problems.

This hand vacuum is not lacking in power. It has twice the power than the original Dirt Devil Hand Vac, so you won’t have to worry about whether or not the machine is up to the job.

Are you juggling your vacuum cleaner trying to clean your stairs? Well, stop doing that and get the Dirt Devil Classic. You can plug it in at the top and do the whole stairs in one go.

“I used it on our carpeted stairs that I just had steam cleaned last week and was surprised at all the junk it sucked up.”

A lot of people buy the Dirt Devil Classic Hand Vac because of the pet hair that they have on their sofas. A lot of Amazon.com reviewers state how great it is for picking up this hair.

If you want to keep pet hair off you furniture get rid of your pets or get a Dirt Devil.

Ok, so the M0100 must have some problems, right? Of course, there are some features that are a bit annoying with this machine that are going to overshadow the benefits. One of the most complained about thing is the noise.

A second problem is that the filter is difficult to clean, so if you are going to use it often, you might want to pick up a spare that you can pop in if it gets clogged.

Here is what one Amazon reviewer had to say about the problems for this machine after giving it a 5 star rating for being able to pick up all of the cat hair that he had on his furniture:

“Yes, it is noisy – nearly all vacuums are. And, yes, the dust cup is very small, but it is not intended for vacuuming your entire house; most people have a full size vacuum for that. This brings me to the biggest complaint that most people seem to make – the filter clogs. Yes, it does.”

Are You Going To Find This Hand Vac A Classic?

If you are wondering whether the Dirt Devil Classic Handheld vacuum should be your next portable cleaner, you are going to want to go for it. There doesn’t seem like there is a better product out there for the money.
