| queenofallevil's Full Review: Dirt Devil Broom Vac BV2000 Vacuum |
Cute little golden retriever puppies scampering around the kitchen....leaving a trail of dirt and pet dander. Along comes the Dirt Devil Broom Vac, and like a magic wand, the mess is gone!!! AMAZING!!!
Too bad that's just the commercial.
I too was persuaded by the promise of cleaner floors. The ease of sweeping, with the power of a vacuum. No more messy dust pans....no more fuss....
Yeah. Riiiiight.
Just like many products, this one is too good to be true. It's junk. Plain and simple.
It does NOT pick any dirt or dust off the floor. Sure...it makes noise, it SOUNDS like it should work, but it doesn't. All you can expect from the Dirt Devil Broom Vac is a hunk of plastic-on-a-stick that you can use to sweep up piles of dirt in little circles on the floor.
SURE, okay...let's say you just won't give up on the product. You sweep your floors into little piles of dirt and dust, and then proceed to "stab" at the piles. Maybe.....just MAYBE if you are lucky, you'll get 25% of the junk off of the floor and into the Broom Vac within about 5 minutes worth of work. Consider the 75% of junk that's left (which you have now scattered all over the floor again in the "stabbing" process) and the fact you could have done a cleaner and quicker job in about 10 seconds with a conventional broom and dustpan, and you'll know just how much you'd love to choke those cute little puppies on the commercial who lied to you and caused you to buy such a useless, overpriced hunk of plastic.
Now let's say you want to clean out that 25% worth of stuff you were lucky enough to manage to get the Broom Vac to pick up from the capture container located inside this evil contraption. Holding the broom with one hand, you'll notice there are two separate buttons on each side of the unit which must be pressed in order to open the broom and get to the collection container. Now, while holding the broom with one hand, just TRY to press those to buttons with your one lone hand. If you were lucky enough to be able to complete such a task, you've more than likely spilled most of it right back on the floor again. I swear, Satan himself must have been on the design team for this addition to the Dirt Devil family.
Do yourself a favor, and RUN, don't walk away from the Dirt Devil Broom Vac. Instead, go right out and buy an $8.00 broom and a $2.00 dust pan. Your floors will be cleaner, you'll be finished faster, and your kids won't be subject to new words in their vocabulary. (The ones you don't want them to have.) ;o)
