Dirt Devil Multi-Surface Total Pet Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, UD76410V

Verdict

For most households, the Dirt Devil Multi-Surface Total Pet is a workable budget upright if you can find it around 100 dollars and do not mind a fussy assembly process. The on-board turbo and combo tools, easy one-touch bin emptying, and solid hose reach are handy, but the short wand, awkward handle screws, under-furniture limitations, and proprietary tool fitting make it better suited to basic whole-home cleaning than demanding above-floor work.

Pros

  • Filtration / Dust Containment 1 review 4.5
    An extended life filtration system locks in dirt and debris and limits particles blown back into the room, helping improve indoor air quality for households that are sensitive to dust or allergens.
  • Maneuverability & Handling 1 review 4.5
    Its relatively light body makes it easy to carry from room to room, and combined with onboard tool storage and hose reach it feels manageable for whole-home cleaning without causing as much fatigue as heavier uprights.
  • Suction & Airflow 1 review 4.5
    Reviewers find the Multi-Surface Reach Plus delivers powerful suction for its price, pulling embedded dirt from both carpets and hard floors so it can handle everyday debris and typical pet hair in most rooms.
  • Emptying & Mess Control 2 reviews 4.3
    A one-touch dirt cup release lets owners dump debris quickly and with minimal hassle, making emptying feel more convenient than on many basic budget uprights that rely on multiple latches or awkward bin handling.
  • Pet-Ready Features 1 review 4.0
    Marketed as a Total Pet upright, it combines strong suction with a multi-surface head so budget-focused pet owners can manage shedding on carpets, rugs, and hard floors without needing a separate premium pet vacuum.
  • Accessories & Tools 2 reviews 3.8
    The Multi-Surface Reach Plus includes a click-lock tool kit with a short extension wand, a 2-in-1 crevice and dusting combo brush, and a turbo tool that store on board and lock securely so they will not fall off mid clean, though the proprietary fittings, limited wand length, and the fact that some units lack a separate upholstery tool mean its above-floor reach is more constrained than on some full-size uprights.
  • Bin & Bag 2 reviews 3.8
    The 1.5 L bin capacity limits interruptions during whole-home cleans, and a front release with bottom door and one-touch emptying make debris disposal straightforward once you know the controls, though the release button can still be easy to bump and the hinge may feel stiff on some units.
  • Overall opinion 2 reviews 3.8
    Overall, the Dirt Devil Multi-Surface Reach Plus is portrayed as a versatile, powerful budget upright that can handle whole-home cleaning with deep suction, extended reach, and simple controls, making it a reliable everyday option for cost-conscious households, though some owners also mention fiddly assembly and prefer to buy it around 99 dollars rather than pay full MSRP.
  • Price & Value 2 reviews 3.8
    Owners often see it as a strong value pick around 99 dollars, and recent reviews promote it as a best budget upright thanks to its solid suction and tool kit, though build compromises and basic tooling still make it feel less compelling at higher list or sale prices.
  • Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup 2 reviews 3.8
    A flexible hose and click-lock extension wand give decent reach for stairs and furniture, and the combo tool and turbo brush help with above-floor cleaning, but the wand is very short, uses a proprietary fitting, and some packages omit a dedicated upholstery nozzle so high corners and long reaches still take extra effort.

Cons

  • Cord management 1 review 3.0
    Standard upper and lower cord hooks with a quick-release lower hook and cord clip keep the cable organized, though the black lower hook can be hard to see and the brand-new cord tends to kink and fight you until it loosens up.
  • Accessory compatibility 1 review 2.0
    Dirt Devil’s proprietary tool connection at the hose end means many third-party or older Dirt Devil attachments will not fit, limiting upgrade and replacement options beyond the packed-in tools.
  • Assembly and Setup 1 review 2.0
    Assembly is more finicky than average, with a handle that must be wrestled into a small tab, top screws that are easy to strip if you are not careful, and a post-motor filter the owner has to install manually before first use, so taking it slow with a proper screwdriver is important.
  • Under-Furniture Pickup 1 review 2.0
    The tall cyclone stack keeps the body from lying fully flat, so the cleaner head lifts as you recline it and it struggles to reach under low furniture compared with lower-profile uprights.
