Konichiwa!

I know it’s been a while and your Sensei has admittedly gotten a little lazy. But, your Sensei is finally back again and here to review the Dirt Devil Kone Hand Held Vacuum Cleaner. It has an intriguing cone shape and your Sensei thought it was a million dollar piece of modern art. Your Sensei was right about one thing, it is a piece of modern art, but thankfully doesn’t cost a million bucks.

Pros
You’re going to have to decide if this is a pro for yourself. Dirt Devil wanted to design a hand held vacuum cleaner that people could keep in their living room. Dirt Devil even hired award winning designer Karim Rashid to design the plate. The result was the Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum Cleaner. Your Sensei will be the first to admit it does look cool. But that’s something I can’t decide for you.

As far as cleaning power is concerned, most people are satisfied the suction power of the Dirt Devil Kone Hand Held Vacuum Cleaner. They’re generally not ecstatic, but satisfied. The Dirt Devil Kone also comes with a self charging station, something your Sensei is ecstatic about seeing in any hand held. (Your Sensei hates buying batteries.) The price is perhaps the most solid pro. Coming in at $39.99 the Dirt Devil Kone is extremely cheap.

Cons
The recharging feature is extremely weak. The Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum Cleaner lasts about 15 minutes per charge, making the Dirt Devil Kone useful for quick touch ups at best. (Try cleaning an SUV or even a 2 door Honda in less than 15 minutes.)

Final Analysis
The Dirt Devil Kone is an okay hand held vacuum cleaner. It seems Dirt Devil spent more time making the Dirt Devil Kone look trendy than it did trying to make the Dirt Devil Kone a hand held vacuum cleaner worth buying. I will say this, at $39.99 it is a cheap vacuum cleaner and I’m surprised it’s not in the $50 or $60 range. The Dirt Devil Kone Vacuum Cleaner earns 3.5 stars out of 5 by the skin of it’s teeth.
