Hello, Vacuum community, I am so happy to be able to use a website like this one. I have been interested in 80's-90's vacs on and off for years, and am back in the vacuum cleaner groove. Today I went all the way down to San Diego to get a Dirt Devil Toughmate, because the only article I can find on this vac is on this website, and the user didn't have much info on it. I am here to answer all questions on it. It uses type 4 belts, and d style bags. Very loud, like other cleaners from its time, and half good build quality. The cord hook's clips all snapped off so I just glued it in place and wont be able to turn it to release whole cord at once. It's fine though, because I am used to this from my DD Broom Vac. I am very happy to have a rare hard body cleaner, and love to look at it and use its amazing power. Also, is a Bissell Plus lift off from about the same time rare? Not many people have one, but I assume that is because they all broke and nobody wanted to fix it. It's the Bad kind of rare I guess...
