Comments: I absolutely love the kone, it really does get the job done. I am a serious clean freak and I am constantly going around the house vacumming e little piece of dirt with my kone. I recieved it as a wedding gift and do not know how I ever survived without it. I do not know what all these other people are talking about. Mine works great!!!! I would endorse this product to anyone!!!! |

Summary: Poor design, defective battery
Comments: Ours was a gift from my wife's mother. I should disclose that I am not a fan of rechargeable vacuums, since they always seem to be a tradeoff of the convenience of not having a cord vs. weak suction and poor battery life. We tried to return this1however without a receipt, no1was willing to take it back.
The 1st problem, as others have mentioned, is the design. great vacuum design should be focused on function and ergonomic, and this1fails on both fronts.
1st, the vacuum exhaust blows downwards and out. The result is that the exhaust often scatters the dust/hair/dirt you are trying to sweep up. Second, it's actually hard to use. The cone shape makes a poor handle, and the on/off switch is at the top of the cone, which requires you to use both hands (one to hold it,1to turn it off). You also have to pay attention more when putting it back in the charger, since it's perfectly round and if you do not put it back exactly right, it doesn't recharge.
My biggest issue is the battery. It is by far the weakest of any rechargeable we've owned (I have had 2 dustbusters and now this one). We tried to use it this morning and it started dying 30 seconds into a cleanup. Our vac is less than a year old and this shouldn't happen. It's infuriating and our Kone is destined for a landfill.
Finally, the vacuum opening is a round opening and it doesn't have any attachments. It is limiting.
Dirt Devil spent too much time thinking about a "stylish" design and not enough time building a vac that works. It's a plastic cone -- not a marble sculpture -- and function should always come 1st. |

Summary: Worth e dime!!
Comments: I was shocked to read reviews for the Dirt Devil KONE with less than 5 stars. I have had mine for a year and have been completely pleased with its powerful performance. It's perfect for removing hair and crumbs....just sucks it right up. Great for removing my 2 yr old's Cheerios and Goldfish in the car. It's chic, blends in with room decor. Other reviewers stated it was loud. Vacuums aren't meant to whisper. Have realistic expectations and you are sure to be pleased with the KONE. I seriously do not believe it matters whether your right or left handed. My husband and I have no problems with it. |

Summary: loses power so quick!!
Comments: After a few months of use this vacuum only works for about 3 or 4 minutes before needing to be recharged. I am about to throw mine away.
It's a shame because it really is the almost all attractive hand vacuum out there. |
