Dirt Devil Handy 150

Well, i was on gumtree browsing expecting to find nothing but i was wrong! I saw this for a tenner and the very nice seller wanted £5 for delivery. So....of course me being me £15 later and she's mine!

This was/is in amazing condition. They did state that it's hardly been used but i didn't really think that was true. But wait until you see the picture of the commutator

Only a few scuffs and scratches on the sole plate but just very lite usage marks.

Also, it came with the user manual and "quick parts guide". Ill get pictures/scans of those one day. It also came with 5 bags 2 of those are genuine and a pack of 2 genuine belts. Thats saved a bit more cash in my pocket!

So anyway enough of me blabbering on here is the before pictures as usual then the afters. Enjoy!

Nice! Must be an early one, I have 2 and neither have a date stamped motor housing!

18th November 1992 that was made.


That is converted to be used with paper bags if you remove that black panel you can use it as a shake out bag and I would say the bag inflates much nicer.
