Dirt Devil | Gator Series Handheld Vacuum | Review

Since the first hand-held vacuum was introduced in 1984, the Dirt Devil brand has continued to develop clever floor care products that recognize consumers’ needs and solve their cleaning challenges. Included in its comprehensive line of products are full-size, hand-held, bagged and cyclonic upright and canister, carpet cleaners and hard-floor cleaners. Dirt Devil appliances and accessories are available at major retailers and independent dealers throughout the United States and Canada, as well as online at www.dirtdevil.com.

Dirt Devil® announces the latest advancement to the hand vacuum product line with the Dirt Devil® Gator Series™, a unique line of hand vacs designed to make dirt disposal easy. The Dirt Devil® Gator Series™ dirt cup flips open for easy emptying versus the traditional two-piece dirt cup that requires users to take the unit apart and remove dirt and dust with their hands. Now, they can just press the release buttons and empty debris without touching the dirt, saving both time and effort. No parts, no mess…clean hands!

The new collection of products feature the benefits that have made Dirt Devil® a household name and the go-to source for hand vacs for the past twenty five years – the products are innovative, powerful and easier to use than ever before.  “Consumers are seeking out products that will save time without sacrificing a quality clean.  The Gator Series™ does exactly that and at a price they can afford,” says Chris Gurreri, President, TTI Floor Care North America.

The new hand vacs vary in voltage and offer ENERGY STAR approval. They all feature a built-in crevice tool and three-year warranties. Two models come complete with a motorized brushroll that is perfect for pet owners.  The motorized brushroll is also great for cleaning cars and stairs. The Gator Series™ line will be available this fall at Target, Best Buy and DirtDevil.com for $29.99-$59.99.

My time is very limited when it comes to cleaning and I want something quick and easy to pick up, use and then put away. Enter my new Dirt Devil Gator 10.8 v Cordless Vacuum. I was thrilled when I got the opportunity to review this product because the hand held that I was using was just not working. To it’s credit it was getting old, but I couldn’t use it to vacuum anything because as soon as it sucked it up it would spit it right back out. And what did make it to the cup I had to struggle to open just to dump it out.

Not anymore! I love my new Gator Dirt Devil! It is lightweight, easy to use and best of all easy to empty!

Powerful suction for your quick clean up needs! The Gator series hand vacs feature a flip open dirt cup for easy emptying. Dump the dirt without getting your hands messy. A sleek, balanced design with a clear dirt cup makes Gator vacs perfect for large and small jobs.

Features: Gator Easy Opening Dirt Cup, Built-In Crevice Tool, 10.8 Volts, Cordless, Bagless Design, Lightweight – Easy to Carry

Included Accessories: Built-in crevice tool, Charger

I recommend the new Dirt Devil Gator series Hand Vacuums to everyone and they would make great Christmas gifts for those on your list who need cleaning to be quick and easy!

Dirt Devil® has put together some fall cleaning tips for busy parents, to make fall cleaning both timely and efficient:

• Have younger kids help out with cleaning and reward them with points that eventually add up to a special treat any time they pick up after themselves.
• To save cleaning time during the holiday season, focus on rooms where your guests will likely spend more time before cleaning other areas.
• Use Dirt Devil’s Gator Series™ line of hand vacuums as a fast and efficient tool for picking up and emptying debris without ever touching the dirt – or taking the unit apart to empty. With a touch of release buttons, the dirt cup lid flips open for easy emptying, saving you time in dirt disposal.
• Store away clothes, items, appliances and other equipment that you do not need during this season. It creates more space in the home and makes vacuuming easy.
• Since you’ll be spending more time indoors, buy a carbon monoxide test kit or install an alarm system to alert you of any possible leaks.
• Store away items immediately after use, otherwise, you’ll have too much to do when you eventually want to clean up.
• Instead of cleaning your home all at once, which is exhausting, you are better off setting goals to clean one room at a time.
• If you clean up after yourself during the week, you can have a more relaxing weekend with your family. Use a Gator Series™ Hand Vac for quick pick ups during the week to save cleaning time later.
• Create a cleaning schedule where you are able to put down what needs to be cleaned daily, weekly or monthly. It makes you cover all areas in your home and makes your cleaning better organized.
