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

my grandmother has one and still uses it today. She takes great care of it

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.

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.

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!

It looks like a big toy, but being one of the first clean-air machines it performs fairly well for it’s day.

That is a lovely sounding vacuum cleaner.

I've got a drit devil can vac from around the same year

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.

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?

I had the toy version of this as a kid

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.

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

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 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.

What's red hot, really powerful, and can perk up anything?

My mother had this vacuum before bringing it to her company and leaving it there 😩

That vacuum doesn't suck, it blows tons of dust into the air.

I found a few in the trash that still worked

Is this a bypass or direct air machine? Always wondered?

That vac is so trashy? No hepa, dusty as hell.

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
