Dirt Devil: Power Max Pet (Troubleshooting)

[@Verflair]

I would love to meet whoever at Dirt Devil made the design for this thing so I can challenge them to a fist fight.

[@uirusux]

Impossible to screw the tube back in. Literally.

[@loridonmyer854]

@verflair Im next after you !! Everytime I vacuum I gotta clean everything. I bet even if I didn't have pets, I'd have to do this !!

On god

😂

Mine breaks about once per week. I have to take it apart. the rubber band is smoking out of the machine.

[@kirbyvacuumingchannel]

U guys need to add really stiff brushes on the brushroller so it deep cleans carpet better

[@takealeftatthelight5284]

My mom had a Kirby for over 20 years. If it wasn't so heavy and clunky, I'd buy one.

[@kirbyvacuumingchannel]

@@takealeftatthelight5284 kirbys are good machines they are heavy but that's why they have a transmission people are too dumb to notice that

[@chadclark6364]

Turbo claw stops spinning as soon as it touches upholstery using new vacuum. What's the issue?

[@LoneLeeGH]

Sooo where do I get this particular belt?

[@nullmorningstar5052]

What about the entrance pipe behind the brush is clogged

[@Sam-oc5ee]

I'll add, I've had my DirtD PowerMax for more than a year now and it does still work, but the quality of how it was made or the plastic used or maybe even the thickness has had me having to take it apart over and over and over again. And I'm thinking it won't last much longer with the way the wheels flay out. It's like the base can't really support the weight of the vacuum. Not to mention, the belt guide broke within the first 2 weeks of use. Soooo... yeah... maybe try to design the parts (like the whole base) in a way that they are significantly sturdier, thicker, better plastic, or whatever it takes. I'm not saying they should be built to survive a rock guitar smash or anything, but maybe I should be able to push it across the floor on its recommended height setting and not break the base on its 5th use?

[@FnaFFanSince2016]

Please bring back bagged vacuums

[@Autismking420]

This said nothing

[@brendadouglas5269]

What about the curved white hose ... that is always my problem

[@SuperWhoPotterLockerOnYouTube]

the powermax pet that i have doesn’t have an accessible exhaust filter. the panel is smaller and there’s not tab. is there a way to remove this and clean the exhaust filter?

[@Dom1a]

i’ve took the whole thing apart and didn’t find a way to get to that filter. you can pop that grey cover off with a butter knife but getting the filter still is a challenge

[@MrGoth88]

Why doesn't the dirt go in the container?

[@snoopysrc]

You guys coming out with new vacuums for 2023?

[@elle366]

Listen I don’t have 24 hours to let a filter dry when I have to suck up a spider in the corner of my ceiling! Used this vacuum for a month and it does not suck up even a piece of lint!

[@Alexie24Alexie]

I don't wait 24 hours either I blow dry it until completely dry. And make sure to always empty and clean inside it could be packed with dust and stuff. Works for me hope this helped

[@stephen3654]

Just put it back in, it still works

[@BrendaHernandez-cn7xt]

😊

[@Sam-oc5ee]

I'm just saying... they could have covered all of what they said the first go round... "clogged? Do steps 1,2,3, etc.. low suction? Let's start over and do the same thing and record it and add check for clogs in there again. Doesn't turn on? Do steps 1,2,3,etc..... brush won't spin? Check for clogs! If it still isn't working, you may want to check to see if it's clogged approximately 10 more times." 🤦‍♀️ It was almost helpful in the beginning I guess..

[@johnortiz3290]

I did all of this it not starting????

[@vacuuminfo3526]

I have one, it is a terrible machine. It feels cheap, and cleans poorly and the brushroll agitation on the carpet sounds annoying. I have a $20 dynamite one from 2008 and it is miles better but still had room for improvement

[@stephen3654]

It's £40 hello

[@takealeftatthelight5284]

These crap machines only last a year and then fall apart. I'm never buying a Hoover or Dust Devil again. I could have gotten the fancy Dyson for the money I spent every year on crap vacuums. No one is taking business from these companies. Their raggedy products ensure they lose business.

[@maxwellcatlett3653]

I got a good 4 uses before this piece of junk shut off. 4 stars
