drinkd reviews Dirt Devil SD20005RED Scorpion Quick
Product works exactly as advertised. Vacuum is very powerful, and easily gets into tight areas thanks to the flip open crevice tool. Attachable hose is soft and pliable, and therefore does not put up fight when you are trying to maneuver it into small areas. Before purchasing, I read where several people complained that the unit is very loud when operating. For a hand-held vacuum that is SUPPOSED to provide powerful suction, how people could honestly expect that it would be extremely quiet is beyond me. I find the unit to operate at a normal volume for this type of an appliance. For the amount of suction it provides, the electric motor has to spin at a high RPM to achieve such good performance, and by doing so it creates a comparable amount of sound for the work it generates. If you want something quiet, buy a feather duster. If you want something that will help you get your cleaning jobs done, buy this product.
Because of the powerful suction created by the product, the electric motor is going to create some heat while operating. Therefore, expect to experience the normal electrically generated odor that is associated with the use of device like this. The odor does not mean there is anything wrong with the device, as this is considered a byproduct of regular operation.
The power cord is heavy duty, pleanty long, and easily wraps around the device and clips back to itself for storage.
There is one thing of importance to note. Since the unit is small and convenient in size, the dirt cup cannot hold a tremendous amount of debris. Its a good idea to clean out the dirt cup after each use, and to order an extra dirt filter with the purchase of this unit. I'm very satistied with my purchase of this product.
I got myself a Dirt Devil KURVE off [...] about a year or so ago and never quite liked it. Sure it picked up some dust and crumbs, but always felt like it didn't have enough juice.
BalasHapusNot being one to care whether or not it was cordless or corded, I got fed up and decided to check Amazon for a better vaccuum. After reading the reviews for this model (most are found on the older Scorpion model, but its the same machine overall), I decided to bite the bullet and get it - I mean for the price, you can't go wrong.
Got it today, opened it up and plugged it in - used the handy extension and OMG. OMG. What suction for such a tiny little vaccuum. It started picking up things several inches away from the nozzle.
Now me, I'm messy when I eat at my desk. I also smoke cigarettes so ash gets everywhere and crumbs get all in the keyboard, etc.. A few swipes with this baby and there wasn't a crumb or ash in sight. Decided to go nuts and walk around my entire apartment sucking up the dust and dirt in little corners. This is a miracle machine! Since I have no carpeting, its much better than spending the money on a whole big ol' floor vaccuum. Buy the Scorpion, you won't regret it!
I almost didn't buy this vac because of the 2-star review, but I'm glad I got it.
BalasHapusIt's powerful, small and the attachments are a great plus!
Perfect for me since I just need it to clean the little corners and hard-to-get-to places in my home, but it might not work for someone who really needs portability .
It makes big cleaning jobs seem small.
I actually own two of these hand vacs and use them frequently. Make sure you order the filters because the vac works best with a clean filter. Powerful and easy to use.
BalasHapusThis is the most powerful little vacuum I've ever had, The most ingenious invention is the little retractable crevice tool. In my whole life I've never attached a crevice tool even when I needed it just out of laziness. This just sucks up dust immediately in between anything. It doesn't hold alot of dust so after each use I just take an old dish/pot brush and brush off the filter.The dust sticks to the cloth filter and will not come off just by tapping it along side your garbage pail like the instructions say. Takes a minute and is well worth it as this is more powerful than my canister vacuum. I started to use it on a small area of my living room rug where lint always sticks at the entrance and ended up doing the whole rug and went on to other rooms. You'll love this powerful little sucker and end up writing a great review like I just did!

BalasHapusThis product is superior by design. I am not a real fan of some of the Dirt Devil products but they really got this one down pat. The vacuum is superior to any other that I have ever had in this category. The nose in the front that flips down gets into all those tuff places in your car seats. The filter is easy to clean and there are replacements available. I do like the very long cord that comes with this vac. Some others have a little cord that really is a sorry way to do things. The attachments work well for different applications. A great little vacuum is all I can say!
