This stick vac is worth the money, the 'floor head' removes as does the long handle to use as handheld 'dustbuster' style in a car or truck, it comes with a crevice tool for cleaning corners and between seat cushions, light weight, easy to open and clean out.the filter. Bought an expensive vac for the house, but all family want to use this little gem instead. Does not have a roller brush but does a fair suction clean up of carpets, great on hard floors and pet hair.
Really like this easy and versatile small vacuum. For hard floors and manuvering in tight places like a bathroom its terrific. But finding replacement filters is impossible. Right on the filter cup it says the replacement filter is F113. The Dirt Devil site cannot find F113. Any other retailer insists on substituting the F25 which most definitely does NOT fit. Not even close. I'd have given this vac a 5 star, but once the original filter gets too dirty I'll have to throw the whole unit away. I won't be replacing it with another Dirt Devil for this very reason. It's a shame.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi D10winkel, thank you for reviewing the Dirt Devil SimpliStik Corded Stick Vacuum. We are here to help! Your F113 fitler is available here: https://www.dirtdevil.com/f113-pre-motor-filter/440010561.html#q=f113&lang=default&start=1 Thanks, Hayley - Dirt Devil Team
this is a second one i have purchased, the first one only lasted for about a year, but worked great so just purchased another one. I use it mostly for a quick up in kitchen and for the cat litter- good for these jobs.
snapped together the handle before inserting the pole

honest mistake in assembly but once you snap together the handle assembly it doesn't unsnap. i give it two stars because it is ultimately my fault but i'm docking it for a non-robust assembly disassembly.
I moved to a new university and I found out that I had carpet in my dorm room. I asked my cousin to order one for me since I knew I would need a vacuum. The price is why got me interested and I used it for the first time today and it amazed me how easy it is to use! The assembly is straightforward and in a couple of minutes I was sucking up the chips off the floor. Couldn't be happier!
This is good for small areas. This vacuum can get up small messes but if you have a lot of carpet and really want to clean it I recommend a more heavy duty vacuum not an stuck vacuum.
