Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

When you first get this, it's great, hence the many glowing reviews. However, after having this for a year, I'm disappointed to say that it's yet another example of cheap disposable junk sold to us by a company that cares more about a quick buck than making quality goods. The problem in this case is the battery, which is clearly a very low quality, low capacity NiCd battery. A charge used to last about 10 minutes, now after about one or two the vacuum quickly loses power, becoming almost useless. It's sad that our economy is becoming increasingly based on us having to rebuy the same shoddy plastic crap because nothing is made to last. I'd rather pay three times as much for a vacuum that would last. But in case anybody from Dirt Devil is listening: this is the last product I buy from you. I'm sick of throwing things in land fills because you guys think consumers are too stupid to know when we're being had.
