Dirt Devil Vibe SD20020 Vacuum Cleaner
Verdict
The Dirt Devil Vibe 3-in-1 is a very lightweight, budget stick vac that delivers strong suction and handy handheld versatility for quick cleanups in small spaces like dorms, art rooms, or pet corners. It is best suited for light everyday messes rather than whole-home deep cleaning, but for a cheap, compact second vacuum it feels like good value.
