 This thing sucks Dec 06, 2007
By PhotoGraphics
I got this vacuum for thirty bucks so keep that in mind. There are units out there that cost ten times that. So how does the Dynamite Plus stack up? It sucks! Very, very well. I don't think I have ever used a vaccum that had such powerful suction. I bought a Dirt Devil cordless unit (the one that no one seems to like) about a year ago and it was garbage. I wondered if anyone really needed cordless while in the confines of their own home. Most likely not. Why not trade the dubious benefits of cordless for maximum sucking power? For the price there is proably no vacuum made that is more powerful. So why only 4 stars? Despite a vacuum that seems well built, convenient, light, bagless, portable, etc., there is one thing that is insanely ridiculous about the Dynamite Plus' design. All of that powerful suckiing power shoots right out a front grill of the vacuum. Like a tornado!!!! The first time I used it was in the kitchen it it literally blew all of the photos and notes off my refrigerator. The next time bordered on slapstick comedy if I could have considered it funny. I was vacuuming the hearth of my fireplace and the tornado-like exhaust fan blew ashes from the fireplace all over my living room!!! Who in their right mind would design a vacuum with a jet engine strong exhaust fan right in front pointing at the very dust and dirt you are going to vacuum? Final thought ... the plastic recepticle fills up very fast. I vacuumed what I thought was a clean tile floor in the kitchen and the dirt container was full. I emptied it and vacuumed my staircase and the dirt bag was full. Is this a bad thing? How can it be? The Dynamite Plus is sucking in dirt that I didn't even know existed. That's the whole reason I vacuum. So I would rate this as the best bargain of any vacuum I have ever seen except for that silly design flaw. It's not at all a reason to not purchase this vacuum. You just have to know how to avoid pointing it at things like fireplace ashes. Bottom line is I have never owned a vacuum with as much suction. This thing is dirt cheap for what it does.

 Good for small spaces Jul 27, 2010

You really can't beat the price for the quality and ability of this little vacuum cleaner. But beware, it is little, best for smaller spaces or an apartment. The suction and hose attachment function well. It's very portable and easy to remove the canister. Although getting all the debris out of it takes a good amount of shaking. All in all a nice option if you don't have a lot of square footage and want a light, little cleaner.

 quick and powerful!!! Feb 12, 2008
I have owned this superb vacuum for at least3-5 days and it is a powerful little vac that acts like a big 12amp vacuum.And I have found that it not olny picks up the big clumps of nasty horrfying dirt and grit but also the little specs of dirt that ruin carpets.And the hose never clogs up and, Ifound out that if you take the hose off an actual 12amp vacuum and use that to clean off the heapa filter in the DirtDevil`s dirt compartment it basically makes it look like it`s brand new.P.S.It has really awsome excellent scution through the floor nozzle and hose and the beater brush beats the living heck out of our carpet, so that`s why it`s so powerful ect...

As Good As Recommended Jun 23, 2011
By usgabear
Haven't had the unit long enough to be very critical.
The unit is only 7 amps but seems to pick up dirt like a 10 amp, lots of power to work the brush's and suck up the dirt. So far it seems to be a good value for the money.
**** CAUTION:Amazon recommended purchasing replacement
belt and filter with the Dynamite vaccum except that they recommended the WRONG belt and filter. Having not purchased the Dynamite before I went with what Amazon recommended which turned out to be the F-12 belt and F-1 Hepa Filter which are incorrect. The Dynamite vaccum uses a F-15 belt and a F-2 Hepa Filter so be very careful to order the correct belt and filter if you decide to order this vaccum...do not rely on Amazon's recommendations or their customer service.

super suction, easy to use, but one regret... UPDATED 2011 Jan 09, 2010
By zingingablenessedly
mine is a pinkish purple color, and i didn't read the directions before using it.
unwound the electric cord from their hooks, plugged it in, and right there is the easy on/off button.
all it takes to tilt it is just a little effort on the handle - there's no toe touch pedal to release it from the upright position.
it's light-weight, so with my bad bad, it was a breeze to use. not too noisy. my dogs didn't bark at it after 3 minutes.
i can vacuum a room and a half with the length of the cord.
i live in a 16 x 76 mobile home, and this was the first vacuuming after living in it for a couple months.
and it was very clean before. i had to empty the container over twice. like another poster said, it's unbelieveable how much dirt this thing sucks up!
it's easy to clean, too. no brains for that. i took out the hepa filter, and tapped that for about 5 minutes getting dust out of it, then dropped it on the floor and more fine dust came out.
very easy to put the canister back on. and no paper or canvas bags to have to change repeatedly.
my only regret is that it doesn't have a hose detachment to get small areas, and it doesn't do well up against the wall.
it was actually fun to vacuum!
mine didn't have any attachments to it.
i added some photos. the one with my foot shows after i emptied it, i redid a room, and that is what i got out of it the second time around!
great product! got mine at walmart.
UPDATED JUNE 2011: the fan belt broke. couldn't find one anywhere on-line, at wal-mart, or anywhere. either eveyone has sold them, or dirt devil is the only one that wants to sells them. but the darn vacuum belt should have lasted longer than five months! talked to dirt devil, and the belt was like 30 bucks waiting for more shipment, or they were out of stock. i'll never buy dirt devil again!
i got some other brand somewhat similar, but no vacuum has been as easy to use and clean out as this dirt devil was. this really was a well designed ergonomic machine, but poor mechanical issues.
