rachelk Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I am thinking about buying a dirt devil hand held hoover to do the stairs in my house think it will make the job much easier than using my upright all the time . Has anyone got one or similar and are they any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Looks alrite, but make sure you get one with a beater brush type head like the Dirt Devil Gator IMO the normal cheap handhelds like the Handimate aren't really very good on getting the stairs properly clean, so you end up redoing it with a proper vacuum cleaner in the end anyway.

I have a Vax Gator Handheld Vacuum Cleaner, it got a good write-up, but I dont think it would cope with regular usage for the stairs. http://www.vax.co.uk/gator-handheld-vacuum-cleaner?gclid=CjwKEAjwxoG5BRCC7ezlzNmR8HUSJAAre36jTt4-d7w89-GuTq9DXa_lWC5BF52lkGOvp0vtPZFHFxoCurPw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackK0 Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think Dirt Devil has been making these hand helds for years they have a good reputation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
