Dirt Devil HandiMate Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, 6 V, 0.4 Litre, 50 W, Red [Energy Class A+]

More powerful than expected given some of the other reviews. It handles everything from cat hair to heavier items like cat litter well. Brush attachment is needed for pet hair on soft furnishings and you might need to go over them a couple of times as it isn't really designed for pet hair. Charges fast enough. Doesn't have the longest use time between charges but it isn't designed for cleaning the whole house. If you want something to quickly clean a spill, get to a difficult to reach area, or clean your car, this little Dirt Devil will do the job. I got it to help with cat hair between main vacuum days and clean up the "presents" (dead spiders) my cat likes to give me and it is perfect for that.

Great cordless handheld vacuum for countertop messes, spills and the like. Not so great for vacuuming the stairs as the suction isn't powerful enough. Easy to use and empty. It is also light weight. Not pricey, excellent packaging and delivery.(Product is as described and pictured on the Amazon listings).

Impressed with hand held dirt devil hoover ideal for cleaning stairs also cars. Good quality. Value for money

I bought this as our cat likes to dig & dig & dig in her litter tray, scattering litter across the floor as she does so. This just about copes with picking up cat litter from a wooden floor (it often needs a bit of encouragement!) but certainly doesn't have the suction to cope with anything more demanding than that. It doesn't cope well with carpets etc. I'd half-heartedly recommend it to pick stuff up from hard floors but don't ask it to do anything more arduous than that. (Although to be fair what does one expect for £20?)As an aside, I also find the design of the on/off button a complete pain - doesn't work easily & needs quite a bit of brute force.

Terrible vacuum cleaner - do not buy!! I had it on charge for 48 hours and as soon as I took it off charge you could hear the suction depleting instantly. It couldn’t even pick up one grain of cat litter or a leaf! The reason I bought it was to do a quick once over on the car and to pick up stray cat litter which they had kicked out their litter trays. It couldn’t do either, at one point it did get a few bits but it fell back out again once I put it down.Returned and full refund for this - excellent service by amazon though.

The media could not be loaded. This vacuum is small and reasonably light, and is easy to use in tight spaces, such as car interiors. However, the suction power is fairly weak. It’s okay in picking up small crumbs that are loose on the floor, but does a poor job in trying to remove hairs, strands of cotton, dirt ensnared by carpet fibres, or larger, heavier crumbs.The manual claims about 14 minutes per complete charge, which is okay for small spills, but is pushing the limit if you try to tackle a larger job, such as cleaning the interior of a car. I’ve found that the power starts to dwindle after about ten minutes, so the last few minutes are pretty useless.Emptying is a bit messy because fluff is prone to clog in the filter hole, reducing the performance. So I have to pull this out with my fingers.The colour is slightly more magenta than suggested in the vendor’s photos on this page. It’s a colour that looks very plasticy. The two halves of the handle are screwed together with a join that is quite noticeable, and I can feel the two halves independently flexing slightly when I hold the handle. It’s only a very slight flexing, and probably benign, but it leaves me wary of the quality.

Brilliant! Ive got an 18 month old and was sick and tired of lugging my dyson out every time she ate anything. So handy for after meal times for a quick-clean-up!! Ive also got two cats and it works great on there beds to pick up all the excess hair and other bits they bring in from outside. I also use it to freshen up my sofa every couple of days its picked up dust and bits that i haddnt even seen!! Definately recommend for all the mamas out there!!

Was a bit unsure because of the bad reviews I read but the price did attract me so I ordered it anyways. Arrived on the next day and I was impressed! Easy to use! I bought it because my room is always full of my long hair & it does the job perfectly. Sucks in all small dirt and hair, great vacuum for good price :)
