The Dirt Devil Extreme Power Hand Vac doesn't have a pivoting nozzle like the Black & Decker 18V Pivot Vac PHV1810 (*Est. $55) , but owners say its power outperforms other battery-powered hand vacs in this price range. Owners also appreciate the lightweight feel of this vacuum and the flip-down crevice tool. Dirt Devil's three-year warranty surpasses other brands. The only downsides noted by users are that the filter may need replacing after a year or so of use and that the battery life is short.

We did not find any expert reviews for the Dirt Devil Extreme Power Hand Vac or recent comparisons of any budget-priced handheld vacs for that matter. Therefore, we rely on a significant number of insightful owner reviews at Amazon.com.
