Dirt Devil Ultra MVP Upright Vacuum

[loganvac]

Considering that this vacuum is a classic, I decided to post it here instead of contemporary. Here in my video, I have what I call the crowned jewel of Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners. If you're a fan of classic and rare machines, and this one meets that criteria, then you will enjoy my overview of this interesting vacuum cleaner.

Woops, I thought that I posted this on the Vintage page!

Great video Logan, well done! That model was produced before TTI got ahold of DD. They were good performing vacuums, all the way from the flagship like yours, to the lower end. I have a MVP but the single motor style, has a new brushroll, and I use a microfiltration bag in it, and I'd put it up against any newer clean air machine today in cleaning effectiveness. I had a Eureka Excalibur, kind of similar to yours with the dual motors, but wasn't nearly as comfortable to use, and the nozzle kind of rattled, so wasn't my favorite. Enjoy your new find!

Thank you! The MVP may be a rarity but that hasn't stopped me from using it. It's second to my Sanitaire as a daily driver because of how impressed I am with the perforomance of it. Aside from performance on the floor, this is a vacuum with excellent filtration I think. The Micro Fresh filters stay clean for a good while, even the pre-motor filter. I was also impressed with how clean the suction motor was, which told me that the bag and filters are very effective. The exhaust filter seemed to only have carbon dust from the motor. With that being said, I'd love to make this machine my daily driver, but I'm worried that because it's a rarer machine it wouldn't be the best idea. What do you think?
