From 1991 and it's still a better vacuum than many sold at Costco today. Crazy.
I wish Dirt Devil would reintroduce this as an anniversary special. I had the MVP model this and I loved it. That was one of the best vacuums I ever had along with my Hoover power drive
I actually still have a white anniversary - edition model 7205 that I bought in 1992...But yes, I too would love it if they re-introduced this style again just for retro - effect!
my grandmother has one and still uses it today. She takes great care of it
I just got one and we’re can I buy bags for it
These take Dirt Devil type C bags. I would check local vacuum shops, ebay, or online sellers. I actually found 4 packs of new bags just recently at a thrift store, so you may get lucky and find some cheap!
@@VacTech1 i just got this with all its tools extra bags and everything paid $20 for it. im having a hell of a time taking it apart to clean its motor
@@VacTech1 I could use some help I have this same one but it's giving me issues the brush sounds horrible
@@TheVacuumWizard the brushroll could have tied up or bad bearings? Does it spin smoothly? Are the plastic ends or the base plastic where the brushroll sits damaged?
I’ve seen plenty of these in the past and these are my favorite Dirt Devils and yes indeed they are pretty quiet for Dirt Devils and so easy to handle.
My mom used to have one back in the day! It was a good vacuum!
I remember my mom picked one of these up from Costco (Price Club back then) when I was in elementary school for use in our finished basement. It was the first upright we had ever owned and I thought it was genius to have tools on board. It was the best of both worlds because we had only owned canisters and central vac up until that point. One of my brothers took it to college a couple of years later and that's the last I saw of it.
Growing up, I thought the on-board tools on these looked brilliant too. Although the hose is short, the vacuum doesn't fight you at all when using them, so they worked quite well!
Also, just a suggestion on your cleaning-experiment... Ive found that raising it up a notch or two will make it pickup better. The lowest setting tends to "crowd" the brushes against the carpeting and they can't sweep properly. I could tell this was the case on your 2nd pass... When I saw some rice rolling along the rubber strip instead of being swept under the brush. But you've no doubt already figured this out! 😉
Love this machine, there’s something about its style. I’m sure we had them over here in the UK for a brief period but I’ve never seen one in real life.
I like the look of these older Dirt Devil Deluxe style Uprights, I had the Deluxe 8201 version of this which had the stronger 11 amp motor, and I loved it. I believe these older Dirt Devils are much better built than what they make today. I'd sure take one of these over a Featherlite.
I think they look cool too. Almost toy-like to me. Pretty fun to use.
@@VacTech1 This essentially is that toy vacuum in real life.
oh wow i had the toy version as a kid,the one that actually picked up with the little white cloth bag inside! but i never been able to find the real one sadly here in the us.man id love to have one and its the same year as my birthday!
I've always wanted one of these, I also had the toy one when I was a kid.
It looks like a big toy, but being one of the first clean-air machines it performs fairly well for it’s day.
lol I think dirt devil realized this, they actually made a real toy version of this same vacuum called the dirt devil junior
@@cdmaniac6004 i remember those!! had one as a kid
That is a lovely sounding vacuum cleaner.
I like it too. It's not too noisy, and has a unique sound.
I've got a drit devil can vac from around the same year
Nice! Keep it tuned up and put to use!
I remember these well! My AunTie bought one in 1993, except hers was the Deluxe, not the "upright", although, I don't think there was any difference besides the name. She bought it because she had bought a brand new Regina Housekeeper and HATED it!! So the Housekeeper disappeared!.. LOL
I bought a beautiful condition one on let go . I refurbed it I got a new brush roll cleaned it out and it worked great ! I wanted a rainbow vaccum so I sold it and bought the rainbow . I should of never sold it :( it had all tools too and clips on handle
The MVP model of this with the 12 amp motor was so much better it had so much suction to the it was amazing. Like I said I wish Dirt Devil would reintroduce that model the MVP with a 12 amp motor as an anniversary special
Pretty good vacuum. I’d like to try one out along with the sebo automatic x4
Congratulations to Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners 😉👍
I hope to see a video of the Dirt Devil Broom Vac. I had two of them when I was a kid.
Looks like he has a broom vac in the background.
I love these dirt devils I have one from 1992 but it’s black and it’s the pro series
My aunt owned this vac in the early mid 90s she loved it so much she purchased a second one once the other stopped working they could still be found brand new up until late 90s also believe the one she had was all black. watching this gives me so much nostalgia but also realizing how it wasn’t great of a performer and had low suction although good for the standards of that time period. Any idea what retail price would’ve been on these?
They were reasonably priced. My guess would be $129-$149 (just a guess). This early 7 amp model had lower suction and little airflow, but the later 12 amp versions of this model were more powerful.
I had the toy version of this as a kid
Me too!
I would say that these uprights/deluxes/and MVPs are my favorite dirt devils and the only good dirt devils other then the Ultra MVP/Magnum MVP.
90s made in USA Dirt Devils are the best. The Dirt Devils now are all cheap made in China junk sadly...
My grandma had one like this but she let it sit in a closet for a few years and the bearing in the motor was rusted really bad and the brush roll was locked up
The vacuum cleaner equivalent of “running when it was parked.“ 😎
im trying to find a dirt devil we probably had around 2000 i remember the end of the hose was red and cylinder style shape like the one in this video
Wow! I just stumbled upon this video, and it's almost EXACTLY like my model 7205 white "Anniversary - Edition" that I bought in 1992. I still use it, but can't find any bags locally. My belt also recently broke and I'm hesitant to buy a replacement online because I can't find any original Royal 1-720310-001 Style 4 belts. Any suggestions on where to purchase bags & belts for my model?
That's a great question! Have you tried any local vac shops? They're often called style 4/5 belts too.
That’s a decent sized hose for a vacuum of its time
You should review a Miele u1
I subscribe you Buddy, I got vacuums
Anyone know where to get a light bulb
One just gone on ebay. Lots of broomys about but not many of these ones.
Nice! Hope you like it!
What's red hot, really powerful, and can perk up anything?
A bottle of tabasco sauce?
@@alexhoule1824 Guess Again
@@NigelMontezuma It's the Dirt Devil Upright Deluxe.
My mother had this vacuum before bringing it to her company and leaving it there 😩
RockstarBonnie79 this was in the 90s. She left a long time ago!
RockstarBonnie79 yea, I wish I was who I am now to tell her to not do that. I was born in 2004 🙁
That vacuum doesn't suck, it blows tons of dust into the air.
I found a few in the trash that still worked
People often abandon vacuums that need just a little TLC.
So true most of the time they are just clogged or need a new belt
@@scottdunn4506 I agree. I've seen it many times. I love finding a quality curbside vac!
@@VacTech1 I have found an estimated 40 vacuums in the last seven years in my huge apartment complex. Most I have been able to salvage. The ones I don’t keep or give away I give to the Goodwill. I hate needless landfill.
@@nonelost1 that's great! So often they just need something simple and can be put right back to use.
Is this a bypass or direct air machine? Always wondered?
This one has a bypass setup.
@@VacTech1 is a Hoover Turbo Power hard bag casing upright a direct air? I found one from 1997 in trash and it works but it needs a restoration still when I have time to tear that down to clean it. All i know is it uses type A bags
@@mattmaverick703 if it uses Type A bags, it's a direct air machine. Hoover did use the Turbopower name on clean-air vacuums too. There were bagged Windtunnel uprights, but those used type Y bags. I'm not sure if those were on the market yet in 1997.
@@VacTech1 I own a old skool black tempo styled Windtunnel commercial upright and I believe it's a bypass but seems very powerful more like a direct air not sure on those either those do use type y bags
@@mattmaverick703 Nice! Those are very powerful bypass machines.
That vac is so trashy? No hepa, dusty as hell.
hey nigga
It’s from the 90s, what do you expect?
there 4 of this one with edge clean one that say mvp one with out edge clean and a white one with no head lghit
This vacuum is now 33 years old lol
