Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum

The Kone Hand Vac Is Cordless, Compact And Stylish

The streamlined appearance of the Dirt Devil Kone does not even look like a vacuum cleaner when it is resting in its charger.

With its sleek conical shape, it could easily be mistaken for an artistic sculpture.

The Kone can sit in plain view on any countertop or shelf for easy access and its elegant appearance compliments the décor of the room.

Kones are available in a variety of designer colours, and some of them even emit a soft glow when they are charging, serving as attractive night-lights.

The Dirt Devil Kone Review

Dirt Devil Kone

Features of the Kone hand vac:

• Cordless and compact
• Elegant, artistic design
• Plug-in charging base with indicator light
• 7.2-volt rechargeable battery
• 1½ inch nozzle with soft rubber tip
• Washable, easy to empty dirt cup
• Reusable filter

• Charging indicator light
• Size: 6 x 6½ x 18 inches

The Dirt Devil Kone is extremely easy to use. Simply twist the top of the Kone away from the charger base and switch it on to quickly clean up dust and minor spills. The nozzle is made from soft rubber to prevent it from damaging the surfaces of furniture as it cleans. The tapered shape of the nozzle allows it to clean areas that other hand-held vacuums may not be able to reach.

Advantages

The Dirt Devil Kone is one cordless vacuum cleaner that you don't have to hide. With its stylish appearance and variety of colours it blends nicely into the décor of any room. Some Kones (apparently only the white and champagne colours) even light up with a soft glow while charging, that seemingly appears like magic from the base of the unit. This is a very popular feature that is only available in certain colours.

People like the glow, because it makes the vacuum cleaner double as a night-light. Because the Kone can be placed in easily accessible locations, people are more likely to use it for quick cleanup than a cordless vacuum that stays hidden in a closet or utility room. It is smaller and lighter than some of the older hand-held vacuums and is powerful enough to handle most minor cleaning jobs.

The soft rubber end of the nozzle is a unique feature because it enables you to use the Kone even on expensive furniture without damaging the finish. It fits easily into small spaces that larger vacuums cannot.

Disadvantages

Some people who have bought the Dirt Devil Kone have found its performance to be disappointing. They have found it to be underpowered compared to other familiar brands of hand-held vacuums. It is also quite noisy for its size and has been said to blow dust around while it is vacuuming.

The small size of this vacuum means that the dirt cup does not have a lot of capacity, therefore it has to be emptied frequently. Other complaints about this unit are that the battery doesn't hold a charge for very long and the reusable filter is hard to clean. It is unfortunate that the nightglow feature is not available in all of the colours, because people really seem to like it.

Consumer Reviews

Consumers like: Stylish appearance Variety of colors Lightweight and cordless Charging indicator light so you can be sure that it is charging Some colors light up when charging Easy to use and can be conveniently placed in the room Cord hides neatly under the base when not in use

Consumers don't like: Underpowered compared to similar units Noisy for its size Battery doesn't hold a charge for long Dirt cup has rather small capacity Filter is hard to clean

Summary

The Dirt Devil cordless Kone vacuum does as well as can be expected for a unit of its size. It depends on what you are looking for in a cordless vacuum cleaner. It is not the highest powered hand-held unit on the market, but if it is style and convenience that you want, look no further than the Dirt Devil Kone.
