I urge people NOT to buy anything from dirt devil, especially anything that is cordless/rechargeable. The batteries don't last very long and once they die, there is no way to replace them, so the products are cheap (low quality) disposable garbage. They are not only bad for the environment, but to make matters worse, the customer service is extremely poor, so calling them results in a very unhappy experience.
She suggested I buy a new one which I think is ridiculous, why should I pay for your merchandise was defective. I feel your company should replace the whole thing. She also informed me it was SE3238, MFG, Code HO3A,made in 2003.
I never expected to have a vacuum blow up on me. The little aluminum fan blades disintegrated and a few came out. Scared my wife of course. Customer service said it was one year past the warranty . Gee.. dirt devil doesn't stop working ...it blows up. The oofered me a $25 coupon towards another vac, but I had to pick one right then while on the phone or no deal. I said NO WAY. I never touch another dirt devil again.
It has finally stop charging.
We always have used your products because of their dependability.
Please advise for we want a replacement....Thank you!
"I bought your vacuum cleaner on May 2012. 2 days ago while I was using it, its wand broke and the wires in it were exposed and started to hit each other in the air. Not only it almost got fire but I was almost electrocuted. I haven't seen any dangerous design like this. I am so terrified right now that I don't even know if I want it to be repaired"
