I ordered the dirt devil, similar style/power etc. The power head was not heavy enough. Floated across carpet. Anyone have a comment on this?

I don't have the dirt devil, I have the eureka and I have never had the problem the only complaint I have for the eureka is the attachments don't stay on very well when storing. but I can't speak for the dirt devil brand.

the Power head has some good suction, on my smaller rugs, I have to tone it down so it doesn't suck them up.

Just bought a Dyson City Vac. It has a small power-head but seems to have good suction and I love the attachments and the overall versatility of the machine. I liked the Samsung power-head really well for carpets however, the wand of my Samsung broke and they seemingly weren't able to replace it. Samsung has very poor customer service. Friendly but not helpful. We made several calls to Samsung and were refunded for the vacuum. You may want to check them out on the Better Business Bureau website. Dyson is known for quality customer service.

It sound like the filter is doing its job, but the job is too big for the Dirt Devil. You need a large capacity vac, or vacuum more often.

I had a lot of problems with my dirt devil in general...but when I would call the company they were always very helpful. They sent replacement parts a number of times free of charge including a battery, but I could never get the thing to work correctly and eventually gave up and stopped using it. It would work for about thirty seconds and then stop and "beep" a message signal that meant that it was stuck on something....It was not. They told me at the company that my room was too large for it. The room was a 20 X 30 foot area, which I don't consider too large. When it worked it worked nice, but it only worked for a little while. Google the company name and call them.

your welcome. I really hate to leave bad reviews on products but these sweeper heads have been very disappointing since I bought them and after reading the other reviews I realized I am not alone on my view. Hope it helps you to make an informed decision. Have a great day.

Michael, I honestly do not know because this is the first Dirt Devil I have owned. The brushes are very powerful and so is the suction. I can't state for certain but that may be the difference. It is excellent at getting my lab's hair out of the staircase carpet.

WhitneyRead more reviews about power mats. I cannot remember why but i did not end up buying one because of poor quality. Think about it. Does anyone you know own one? Be thorough Whitney :)

Mine also is the DC25, and does not have a lever to adjust the height. My understanding is they are self adjusting. I have a low pile carpet in most of the home but do have some areas that have a medium pile. I see no difference going from one to the other. I have not encountered the problem you describe with my Dyson, so maybe could be the pile. You could try making sure the bristle bar is free of hair, or maybe off the track. Other than that, I would contact Dyson directly and make a complaint to them. I would think the Dyson you purchased should be able to handle any type carpet. Best of luck to you....

The cleaning power is outstanding. The cleaning head is large and clumsy and will not fit under some furniture and the accessory heads aren't much better at getting under low furniture. It is a quiet unit. Cleaning the debris container can be a little messy. The vacuum pole/wand will often not stand on the control head if you walk away for a moment. Bottom line: It cleans very well, the control head is too large. I'm neither happy nor unhappy with the purchase. I would go with a vacuum that at least one of the cleaning heads can get under low lying furniture.

No, there is not. Dirt Devil provided some type of attachment for the attachments, but it did not fit properly and I did not use it. Just don't buy this model. It's horrible.

IMO not at all, these things love power and it takes a lot to get one of these things to really move, I have mine in a custom ported box and it takes 1200 watts rms with ease. its spyder and suspension are pretty stiff considering it's more of an SQ sub. definitely reccommend getting something more powerful for it.

Vicky, if I were you and know now what I didn't know when I ordered that cane, I'd return all of them. They're too light weight. I had mine on the kitchen floor. Walked past it, didn't touch it and it fell over. I tried filling it with lead shot and that didn't even make it heavy enough. Send them back and get the real thing. I didn't because I'm short on funds. So the Hugo just is in my way. I'll probably donate it to Good Will. Good luck!

I dont' have a dirt devil classic but a featherlite, and it works better than the original filter. Much stronger suctions. Suggest you check the model number on your original filter and try to see if this one is a replacement for yours. That's what I did.

I have no trouble with attachments. The power head does slow down or stop on heavy carpet or if you push down but it's great for low pile carpet. The vacuum is great for hardwood or laminate floors. Not the greatest if your entire house is thick carpet. You would need a vacuum with an electric power head for a lot of carpet. The power head on the numatic is air powered.

We threw our dirt devil away. It had little suction and the battery lasted about 5 minutes fully charged. Do not buy.

No it should fit properly. I had "issues" with this machine for the entire time I owned it, finally took it back and bought a dirt devil - which so far so good is running well. Some of my issues: Belts broke twice (only used it maybe 6 times), power head for hand held only worked when it felt like it, machine itself clogged easily (I only have laminate floors and area rugs, this vacuum was not "run" hard). I finally returned it vowing to never buy Eureka again!

The motor head is worse the brush bar barely touches the floor. I have had both the dc59 animal and the dc59 Motörhead and I like the animal much better. Dyson claims the motorhead works better due to its stand alone powered brush bar but I beg to differ. I think they failed with the brush bar itself and didn't put it low enough. Get the animal, it's a cheaper better vacuum.
