Kone Review

When I was looking for a hand held vacuum for the house, one of the most important criteria was how well it picked up large crumbs. I have two crumb crushing kids and after each meal it looks like a bomb went off underneath their chairs. We've tried a few Dust Busters but their average lifespan was pretty short.

So when I got my Dirt Devil Kone I put it to the test. Could the Kone handle breakfast in my house? Watch the video and find out.

Like most other vacuums, the Dirt Devil Kone has replaceable filters. And if you're like me, you'll want to stock up on a few of these filters in case your Kone lasts for years. Maybe years from now, they'll have space age magnetic vacuums with no filters or something very Jetson-like. The stores won't have your plain old filters anymore. And even if you take great care of your vacuum and empty it after every use, at some point you will still have to replace the filter.

Now if you read some of the Amazon reviews, you may hear people complaining about how quickly these filters get dirty. Yes, that's true they do get dirty quickly but they still work fine even though they change to a dirty colored gray instead of the pure white that you see in this picture. The Kone has enough suction that a gray filter really doesn't slow it down at all.

Here's a handy list of a few important links for all Kone owners to keep, just in case something goes wrong with their Kone.

In case you've never heard of the Kone, this TV commercial will give you a good idea what it's all about.

The folks at ExpoTV have posted a nice demonstration of the Dirt Devil Kone. I like the part where she vacuums up the M&Ms. It's a powerful little vacuum. Nice demo.
