This is a great canister vacuum! My dad uses one in his professional cleaning business, and it has held up better than any other canister vacuum he has tried. I actually bought this one for him, to replace his old Dirt Devil Canister Vacuum; which is still running. This vacuum was a
remanufactured bargain, at half price.

I works fine and the suction is excellent. Price is good too.
The two cons (-1 star) are for:
1. the cord, it is long but it does not go inside the unit, and
2. the exit filter cover. You can open it too easily, sometimes you try to turn the unit on and the cover falls off.
4 stars is fair.

I don't want to complain about this product that much because it was not expensive.
However,I'm really dissapointed because the nozzle fall off the wand easily when cleaning.
Also,the hose fall off easily when going forward.
I don't want to think what if I would buy it with regular price.
If you would pay this amount for vacuum in Japan,it would be still great and long life to use.

I have owned this vacuum for five years (I think it's five) and I've been totally pleased with it. It's so very light weight and easy to take from room to room. I don't use it on my carpeted floors, just the bare floors and upholstery and it has more than enough power to do everything I've expected it to. I like the clear dirt canister for easy checks on empty time and also the on-board cleaning tools. I'm going to buy one for my daughter for Christmas this year.

I recieved this item and immediately started using it. It has been great for cleaning my hardwood floors as well as small rugs. I even took it outside and vacuumed out the car. I love that it it bagless so I can just dump it at my own convenience as well as remove some little toy belonging to my children. The suction is great, and the whole thing is light weight enough to use on the stairs as well as to get the high ceilings here.

This is my 5th Dirt Devil Breeze canister vacuum I have purchased in the last 7 years. I use them for my business and they are worked hard. I usually pay $100 per vacuum. On my recent visit to Amazon I purchased a Remanufactured one and saved half price. I am totally pleased with it. Other than a few cosmetic blemishes, it is as good as new.

Have been looking for a small wand vacuum to do my stairs, tired of lugging the "shop" vac up and down from the basement, caught this refurbished model on sale and am extremely glad I purchased. IT FABULOUS, light so I can sling it over my shoulder with the included strap to walk up the stairs while I'm vacuuming the treads and the cord is long enough so I can plug it in at the bottom of the stairs and go, gives me enough to even do the landing. Great suction, attachments are easy to use, only complaint is storing the attachments, but other than that...fabulous item. Looked brand new when I pulled it out of the box

Great suction. Horrible way to connect the hose to the vacuum. Wife loves it other than the hose always coming unhooked. I will have to modify it somehow to keep it in place to keep her happy.
The worst canister I have ever own - Review written on August 10, 2008

Rating: 1 out of 5

Dirt Devil could not produce a worst product. It is so noisy that you need ear protection. It's suction is not that of a 12A. motor and its accessories are awkward and hard to manage. My advice is to buy anything else but not this one.

Defective wand and Dirt Devil customer service won't help - Review written on May 23, 2008

This is a cautionary tale. If you have problems with your unit you may not be able to solve them with Dirt Devil. Here's the story:
I received my Breeze vacuum yesterday. It came very quickly (thanks Amazon) and looked spiffy and new even though it's a refurb model. When I tried to put it together I discovered that one of the two plastic wands had an obstruction that prevented it from locking into position.
I called Dirt Devil customer support and after the standard 7 minute wait I got a customer rep. At first she told me that my unit only had one wand. Then after pulling up some more information said that yes, one wand was bad. She told me I had to call a different line and make arrangements to drive to a service center and exchange the wand. She gave me the number. I actually hung up before realizing what she was asking me to do. As it turns out, the nearest service center is 21 miles away. That's a 42 mile round trip! This for a part that is sold by Dirt Devil for $2.68.
I called back. Seven minutes on hold. I talked to another rep. She told me the same thing. I asked to talk to a supervisor. Five minutes on hold. The supervisor tells me they will not send me a replacement wand. I have to drive to a service center. I ask to speak to her boss. She says fine and puts me on hold again. After 5 minutes on hold again I hung up.
Fortunately, Amazon makes it easy to return things. But what a frustrating experience.
This vacuum may be the best thing since sliced bread. I don't know. I haven't turned it on. All I know is that Dirt Devil didn't stand behind their product and didn't care what kind of hassle they caused me. So I'm giving Dirt Devil the one star rating. I don't know about the vacuum. Looks cute.

I searched all over my area for an affordable vacuum that was light weight and powerful. I wanted a canister, but wasn't willing to pay a fortune for just another vacumm that wasn't going to do the job, or would burn out from my heavy use. No matter how much I spent, it seemed none of the machines would hold up. I have pets, a woodstove and a husband. I needed something that would work!
I figured it was worth the gamble to buy a reconditioned machine. The price was right, and it was a well known brand. (Amazon's super saver shipping sweetened the deal) I was pretty surprised at the power of this little machine. It picked up better then the higher priced vacuums and was light enought for me to handle (I am disabled). The ONLY problem I have found is that the hose connection to the machine could be better, but it does hold once it is in place.
I would highly recommend this machine, both for price and function.
Cheap materials, and price - Review written on April 20, 2008

Bought it about a month ago, and used it since. Small, but has power, it can clean. I have a lot of doubt about the material it's made of, just cheap plastic, that can be easily broken. Attachment won't "snap" or lock, so, don't even try, it's just like that. I bought it for $50, because I wanted canister, and it was the cheapest canister I've seen.

I purchased this vacuum for use in a private club i work at. Once delivered, I had to test it out in my home first. Maybe i am easily impressed (never have been told that) but this vacuum is awesome for the $.
I use a Kirby for the carpet areas, so i am use to some serious suction. The Vision Breeze is a keeper. Yes, the one attatchment needs to be firmly put on, but it works great on hardwoods and tile.
I do own a small canister Dirt Devil vac that is approx. 15 years old, is used frequently and is still working like a charm. I just placed an order for a 2nd Dirt Devil Vision Breeze as i am tired of trying to find replacement bags for the older model.
Its a great deal.

I was a little skeptical with this re manufactured item priced so low, but after receiving the item and using it for 2 weeks, I found that it works great. Good suction and plenty of maneuverability. If your looking for this type of vacuum you cannot go wrong with this model

Excellent value for price - Review written on March 28, 2008

Rating: 4 out of 5

After a couple of weeks experience, I'm happy with the vac. It is light and compact and has reasonable suction. As a remanufactured item, it was very affordable at about $30. Minuses so far, it takes a little extra time to get cat hair off the carpet. The carpet attachment is held by friction only (no latch) so it sometimes falls off when you lift the hose. If it gets worse, it will be annoying. A plus and minus: mostly plastic construction makes it feel disposable but also makes it very light weight.

I wish the cord were longer on this Dirt Devil, and although the filter works great and picks up dog hair, etc. well, it is a dusty and unpleasant job to clean it out.

Cheap Wand - Review written on March 18, 2008

Rating: 2 out of 5
1 customer found this review helpful, 1 did not.

Although I bought this vacuum at a very steep discount, I was immediately disappointed with the flimsy construction. Built like a child's toy, the wand is held in place with weak tabs, the carrying strap is a joke, and the nozzles easily fall off the wand when cleaning. Dirt Devil really should have spent an extra $5 dollars per unit for a decent wand and attachments (and charged their grateful customers $20 more). On the other hand, the suction seems good and the canister is easy to empty. However, it's impossible to overlook the low quality of the accessories as most of the vacuum falls apart and almost breaks during use. If you can get this vacuum for, say, the price of the filter, it might be worth it. But, after the nozzles fall off a few times and the hose twists, you'll still be aggravated with Dirt Devil for selling something so obviously and unnecessarily shoddy.

This little vac has great suction and a very nice base. However, the hose and attachments are made of thin, cheap plastic. I bought this for our basement and to sweep up pet hair on a bare floor, so it's fine for that...as long as I am careful with the attachments. They really need to be made of heavier plastic. Separately, I'd probably give the base 4.5 stars and the hose/attachments 1 star.

I wanted a vacuum that would be easy to pull out and use, yet powerful, and able to get into the small, tight corners.
This one does all that. Its small and easy for manouvering, as also easy storage. I actually like vacuuming now, because I hear the dirt being pulled in and then see the dirt in the canister. I had a dog visiting for several weeks, plus two cats. I am talking plenty of pet hair! To actualy see the hair in the canister, feels like finaly I am actually getting the house clean (I have carpets). The filter is very easy to clean. The vacuum gets into the spaces that the bigger guys just never seem to be able to get into. Great buy :)

I have enjoyed this vaccum for a number of years. Great suction & works well on hard surface floors. I have even given to several friends and relatives, as I think it is excellent for the price and would seriously pay significantly more. Doesn't take much space and stores in small space.

I have purchased re-conditioned and factory new ones, all working quite well.

The hose constantly comes apart. The attachments fall off. It is quite the pain to use. If you want a $40 vacuum, then you get what you pay for, but this is definitely NOT worth $120. It will pick up surface crumbs on the carpet, but it really doesn't get the lint or fuzzys or hair off the carpet. It needs a motorized brush head for that. Works great on the hard floors (if you don't mind stopping to re-attach the hoses and attachments severaly times) If you buy this, you also might want to buy duct-tape to keep it all together!

So far so good. It really picks up pet hairs from rugs. Good features: it has a long cord, it's small and easy to store, it's easy to empty out the dirt cannister. If it lasts me a year I'll be happy.

I really like this vac. You can see all the dirt picked up through the bagless system. It really has suction. The only this wrong is that the bottom piece with the nozzle doesnt stay on, it doesnt have a latch to hold it in like the rest of the attachments. It is easy to clean too. And small enough to go anywhere.

I have been very pleased with it. It sucks up a ton of stuff easily.

The only 1 negative?
A very goofy and cheap plastic end piece to clean the floors with has no way of locking into the tube...I suspect that will wear out first.

Would I buy again?
Yes.
