Dirt Devil Vacuums

The Cheapest Of The Cheap Vacuums

The name may be whimsical, but Dirt Devil vacuums are a very recognizable brand now and bring to mind extreme affordability for a lot of consumers.

Although the actual 'Dirt Devil' name did not come on the scene until 1984, its parent company, Royal, was manufacturing and selling vacuum cleaners since the early twentieth century. Read consumer reviews written by other visitors to this site, or submit your own.

What ultimately became known as the Royal Vacuum Cleaner Company started in 1905 when company founder, P.A. Geier, began assembling household appliances in a garage behind his Cleveland, Ohio home.

During World War II, the P.A. Geier joined the legions of other US companies and suspended production of its regular line to support the war effort. In 1953 the Walter E. Schott investment group purchased P.A. Geier and changed the name of the entire product line to Royal.

The Royal Dirt Devil, a corded handheld vacuum cleaner was an instant hit. Eventually the Royal name was dropped completely, and the world embraced the Dirt Devil with open arms.

Over the years, the Dirt Devil line expanded to include a stick vacuum, a line of bagged and bagless upright vacuums, carpet shampooers and extractors.

Today, the Dirt Devil brand name and the distinctive red color can be found on floor care products of all kinds, including machines specifically designed for pet owners who are look for something to keep pet hair and pet dander under control.
