I have been reading reviews on this little vacuum that I just have to buy one. I ordered today, can't wait to receive it. I have a sharp now, need something for the kitchen.
UNTIL I PLUGGED IT IN AND THE DIRT AND DUST BLOWS OUT THE SIDES NON-STOP....FILTER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi JustWendyNow! The exhaust is located on the sides of the vacuum. Air will escape from the exhaust area. If there's dust escaping, we recommend cleaning the filter. To clean the filter, simply tap it against the inside of a waste basket. We hope this helps!
I bought a Versa vacuum at least 10 years ago for my cleaning business and I love it. I use it every day in my home. When I needed a new upright vacuum a year ago, I knew I was going to buy another Dirt devil. I was happy to find the Power Max and I love it too. Does a great job on my carpet, and wood floors. I wouldn't getting buy anything else. I turned 3 of my friends into buying one and they are very pleased also.
Every time I pick it up, the bottom canister falls off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi BC55! Whoa, that doesn't sound right. We want to help. We recommend ensuring that the dirt cup snaps securely into place when assembling the unit. If further assistance is needed feel free to reach out to us via Facebook or Tweet us @DirtDevil. We're here for you!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third one. I only bought a replacement because I couldn't find a filter for one. Annoying! This one has changed a bit, I like it because it's great for a spill on a bare floor. It's light and not too difficult to whip out. Parts should be available, however. The directions tell you to change the filter periodically but it's difficult to find one.
