 Perfect for in the kitchen August 31, 2010
Jasmine Freed
I bought the Dirt Devil Detailer after my friend recommended it to me. I don't know what I was thinking, but I looked all over town before I remembered to check on amazon! The little vacuum arrived quickly, but the box was a little smashed up in the corner.
I am really happy with this little vacuum, but it really isn't suitable to use in the car. It just isn't strong enough and doesn't have the right shape. That being said, it is absolutely perfect to use in the kitchen. I keep mine in a kitchen drawer and use it almost everyday to vacuum up crumbs from the toaster and crumbs that get into the different drawers. I have also used it to clean hair out of bathroom drawers. It is quick, easy, and convenient to use. It's fun too. Even my little nieces like to play with it!
 Great Little Keyboard Vac August 1, 2010
Gary J. Kleier (Louisville, KY)
With 8 cats and a dog, you can imagine that fur is a constant problem. I was looking for a mini vacuum to clean laptop keyboards and screens and this little machine works perfectly. It does exactly what the description said it would do, clean keyboards and electronic devices. It isn't going to clean your carpet or suck the dust bunnies from under the bed, but it does a nice job on cat hair and cracker crumbs on my keyboard. In addition, the little brush does a good job loosening dust so the vac can grab it.
Neat little gadget that picks up small messes July 1, 2010

I am amazed by the dizzying array of people that think this is going to be the end all be all of vacuums. By definition this hand vac is a DETAILER, in other words it's made to pick up those tiny messes that don't warrant taking out the huge corded vacuum. Even most cordless hand vacs these days weigh a good 5 pounds, not to mention are more than a foot long. This neat little vac is no more than 8 or 9 inches long and fits snuggly in your hand. It's hands down the most comfortable hand vac I've used.
IDEAL FOR: desktop crumbs, loose dust, and hair. I also used it to clean the filters on the front of my computer and PS3 with the aid of the included brush tool. In about 5 minutes I picked up enough dirt and hair to fill the cup on it, which was a lot. It cleaned my entire desk and entertainment center before I needed to empty it which is also very quick and easy. Unlike most other cordless vacs the battery lasts longer than 10 minutes and it comes with a nice wall charger.
NOT MADE FOR: anything larger than a pea size, thats as big as the nozzle is. I found that it had a hard time with large dust balls and hairs longer than 4 inches. This is understandable again given it's small size. The low power and small size also mean low suction. I found it great for loose dust and hair but not for stuck on dust and grime. It should be noted not even my corded vac gets the stuck on stuff up, you need a damp rag for that.
In closing this is if nothing else a neat little gadget that will also clean you're desk nicely. I like the fact that it's low suction and small nozzle cuts down on the risk of sucking up my papers, pens, and other important items like my tornado corded vac would. This will certainly have it's place at my desk for years to come.
Don't give this item low stars due to your own preconceptions of what it SHOULD do, rate it for what it is made for.
 description is not correct January 22, 2010

the item was so small the only thing I can use it for is to clean my computer's keyboard. The description of the item presents it as usable for car cleaning but I will lose it somewhere if I use it in my car
Not Very Effective, Poor QC January 17, 2010
Doc H
As advertised, small - in effectiveness. Relatively weak suction, the power button stuck "on" when we first used it and frequently thereafter. Seems to be a poor engineering design, accompanied by poor construction and even worse QC. No narrow attachment for getting into small crevices, which could make the suction more effective. Pay attention to the reviews, boys & girls - this is a light (very) duty appliance, suitable for picking up loose dust from your desk top, noisely and with some effort (which could be cleaned with a wipe from a dust cloth), which likely won't last very long.
