I bought myself a Dirt Devil Broom Vacuum for Christmas at Wal-Mart.  I have seen the product advertised on TV – woman leaping across the kitchen floor picking up dirt, marbles, cereal and etc. 

I thought the product looked awesome since I hate using my broom and dust pan, and my youngest child is always dumping food on the floor. 

As you guys know I can be a cheap skate — do not pay full price and will use coupons; so if the vac was not on sale than I would have never bought it for myself.

In addition to my broom and dust pan I do use my house vacuum and/or power surface sweeper, but it gets too noisy — vacuum noise plus wheels gliding loudly over the tiles – it’s just a headache.

These Dirt Devil Broom Vacuums sells for $50, and comes in variety of colors (from traditional black to pink) – I have the pink one.

You can buy one at Target for $49, or you can go to Wal-Mart for $48 to $25 (depending on the color selection).  Luckily, I got mine at the store and paid only $20 plus tax – it’s a steal.

 Despite the fancy and entertaining commercial it does not live up to the hype for me.  If you are curious about the product, and want to know the full spectrum of the product just read about consumer information ratings.  It does pick up cereal, crumbs, cat hair and other little stuff, but does not pick up anything big – e.g. marbles, M&M, and etc.

I have used the broom about five times now, and it does make my life little bit easier since I do not have to sweep up the entire kitchen 10 times a day.

Overall, I do like the product but do not expect a miracle – you still need to use the broom once a week to get all the dirt off the floor.  However, it does make everyday life little bit easier.
