Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dirt Devil Rechargeable Broom Vacuum
Customer Review: Not worth the effort
Summary: 1 Stars
This product's reviews should have a section dedicated solely to battery failure. I'm obsessive about following the instructions for conditioning rechargeable battery devices, but following the instructions is no help here. This power system of this product is defective, period. If I could persuade all you five-star reviewers to post your experiences a year after purchase, this page would likely tell a different story.
In addition, a visit to Dirt Devil's factory parts page give no chance for replacements to fix the problem. U R on ur own!
Customer Review: Good broom. Poor battery life.
Summary: 2 Stars
We purchased the broom in early '08. It worked fairly well for our wood and tile floors. About what we expected. However, after about 18 months the battery went. There is no way to replace it yourself. The factory gave me the number of a repair shop. They said forget replacing the battery, it's less money to buy a new one. There you go. If you think the price is worth maybe up to two years of use, buy it. We did not think it was worth replacing ours. The old broom and dust pan are pretty inexpensive.
Customer Review: WARNING - Can't buy replacement gasket!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this broom vac a year ago and it works so-so. After using it for about 3-4 months the rubber gasket between the motor compartment and dirt container rotted and cracked losing all it's suction power. Royal WILL NOT sell the gasket by itself! You have to spent $35 to buy a whole new dirt container. So all I can use this thing for is a 10 pound broom. Save your money and your patience and buy something else from a company that won't rip you off on replacement parts. Sheesh!Customer Review: Love this vacuum broom, a great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this to clean my new bamboo floors in my kitchen and dining room as well as my bedroom. I followed the directions to fully charge the broom when I got it for 24 hours. I then proceeded to use it after meals to clean up, and to suck up dust in my bedroom and I love what it does. It has great suction and lasted for a weeks time of using and I just plugged it back in to charge it up again. I highly recommend this for wood floors for cleaning up crumbs, dust, & hair.Customer Review: better off with a broom
Summary: 3 Stars
pluses:
1) bought the refurbished version for something like $20.
2) pretty good suction (but it can't quite pick up litter).
3) good design makes it fairly easy to empty dirt.
minuses:
1) over time the filter gets clogged with small particles and suction degrades a bit.
2) waste of electricity.
conclusion:
you're better off with a wide broom, which will actually do a better job and do it more quickly.
