Dirt Devil Power Swerve Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner

I am 87 and unable to push my vacuum cleaner. I like to keep the cat hair off of the furniture and floors. This is my 3rd one.

This is a good little vacuum that works nicely, and the fact that the roller bar pops out is invaluable for keeping it maintained. My older dirt devil brand vacuum is still going as my backup vacuum after 6 years, while a fancy Ryobi was born, had to be repaired, and died all within a 2-year window during that time. My only critiques and tips on this vacuum are: I almost returned it because I thought it was defective with the wire stuffing mechanism. But after watching Youtube videos, it just is that way, and you have to just stuff it and man-handle it and it's fine. And you only do that one time for the first assembly. Secondly, it's overall made of a delicate sort of chintzy plastic. It may be prone to chips breaking off, if you're not gentle with it. And lastly, the vacuum head doesn't have an adjuster pedal, so it gets stuck in either the floor position or the "up" position, rather than just being flexible-- you have to press the whole head down with your foot while vacuuming, pretty frequently. But it has great suction action and is easily maintainable. Cleaning it off thoroughly after each use and being gentle, I think it should last a long time.
