Dirt Devil KURV

The first Kurv delivered to me was DOA- the internal battery wouldn't take a charge. Through Amazon's return policy I had a new one in just a few days which works perfectly fine. The vacuum itself looks… great sitting in the corner and the charging indicator light is a nice touch. The chocolate is a great color to disappear in my home but when guests do notice it they are very interested. I chose this handheld vac based on its size as it's aimed to clean up small areas in my living room and my chinchilla cage. Speaking of cage duty, it sucks up their small poop just fine, but the larger clumps of bedding can get stuck. The small size of the Kurv is great for getting around in there and the small inlet is perfect for hitting just the right spots that need to be cleaned. I do feel that it's a bit lacking in power because it seems like I have to get it much closer to things than I should before it picks them up. I suppose it's a trade-off between aesthetics and power, but it does feel weak at times and I didn't buy it just to look nice. Still, compared to the dismal competition in the "dust buster" class of vacuums, I'm happy with my purchase.

This product will not replace your broom or your regular vacuum. But that is not its intended purpose. I purchased this vacuum to suck up dog hair tumbleweeds that form on my hardwood floors. It does… that without any difficulty and the vacuum has also impressed me with its ability to clean up other debis that is tracked into the house from outside. It's not a full power vacuum and don't expect it to be. But it does not have any problem picking up loose dirt, debis or pet hair off of the floor or other surfaces.

I got my Kurv about 3 weeks ago and absolutely love it! During my research of different hand vacs, I read some negative things about the Kurv so I went out and bought the Dirtdevil Extreme Power. I brought… it home, got it out of the box and realized how ugly and heavy it was. I returned it and decided to take my chances with the Kurv. I have to say I am beyond pleased with it. I have 3 young kids, a dog, and a cat so there are constantly little messes that are easily cleaned up with the Kurv. This saves me from having to drag out the big vacuum. The suction is quite strong and it does the job quickly. The angled end also makes going around edges super easy. Also very important for me is that it looks so nice sitting out on my bookshelf... a great hand vac and a great piece of art!
