Dirt Devil M085590 Featherlite

The Dirt Devil M085590 Featherlite is a bagged upright vacuum cleaner that carries the Dirt Devil brand name.

This vacuum is very light for the size and very popular because of its excellent feature set for such a low priced vacuum.

The vacuum itself is powered by a 12 amp motor meaning good suction power as we expect from the Dirt Devil folks.

There is automatic edge cleaning and you can adjust the head of the cleaner to meet your floor cleaning requirements.

The Dirt Devil M085590 Featherlite uses a micro mesh filtration system that is quoted as trapping up to 99% of dust and allergens such as pollen, dust mite debris and other airborne nasties that attack your respiratory system.

The vacuum has an on board hose so that you can easily reach the high areas of your home.

The M085590 Featherlite also features a headlite at the front of the vacuum so you can clean your home without having all your ceiling lights on. Now you can easily see the dirt in front of your vacuum cleaner, and with the 25 foot cord, you shouldn’t have to bend over too often as you clean your home.

What Dirt Devil M085590 Featherlite users liked:

• Cheap at around the $40 mark.
• Good suction.
• Light weight meaning it is an easy vacuum to maneuver around your home.
• Easy to change the bag.
• the bag is actually preferred by some people over bagless.

.. and what they did not like:

• Cheaply made
• Loud
• hose is cumbersome to use
• quite “clunky”
