Dirt Devil Gator Review

dirtdevilgatorDirt Devil® just announced the latest advancement to the hand vacuum product line with the Dirt Devil® Gator Series, a unique line of hand vacs designed to make dirt disposal easy.

The Dirt Devil® Gator Series™ dirt cup flips open for easy emptying versus the traditional two-piece dirt cup that requires users to take the unit apart and remove dirt and dust with their hands. Now, they can just press the release buttons and empty debris without touching the dirt, saving both time and effort. No parts, no mess…clean hands!

Key Features

  • Gator style disposal of dirt
  • Built in extending crevice tool
  • Optional roller brush attachment for carpets
  • Reusable and Washable Filter
  • Energy Star qualified battery charger

Our Dirt Devil Gator Experience

In three minutes I’ve covered several features of the Dirt Devil Gator along with a little surprise cleaning demonstration. You’ll never guess where I found my toddler’s crumbly stash.

Overall, this has quickly become of my favorite quick clean up tools in the house. The roller brush attachment makes it really easy to pick up dog hair left behind on carpets, rugs and even some odd places like under our entertainment center. The Gator is also really easy for my oldest child to use when I enlist his help in straightening up.

What We Like

The crevice tool is extremely handy for getting those areas that our upright vacuum misses. Being cordless makes it much easier to get those nooks and crannies without having to drag an upright vacuum all over the house.

What We Don’t Like

I don’t care for the recharging plug, which is simply a plug you place in the wall. It’s not nearly as convenient as having an actual docking station that you can plug in and hang on the wall out of the reach of small children.

Gators for Every Budget

The Dirt Devil Gator series offers several options to suit your needs and budget. Each cordless hand vac features the unique Gator Action dirt compartment emptying process and a powerful suction to make clean up easy.

Gator 10.8V Hand Vac priced at $31.99
Gator 15.6V Hand Vac priced at $41.99
Gator 15.6V or 18V Hand Vac with Brush Roll Priced at $49.99 (Amazon priced at $49.07)

    This would be handy for me to use for crumbs around the daycare kiddos table. Especially after a cookie snack. I bet it would also work good in the car.

    Very nice!, I like being able to just pop the roller brush on and off and extending edge cleaner.

    How long will it run before you have recharge! Have you tried cleaning the car mat? wondering how good of job it would do.

    This is great, and your review says it all. It looks great for picking up dirt and crumbs between thorough vacuuming jobs. And it looks easy to empty and take apart. It certainly seems like it’s a lifesaver for cleanups.
