Dirt devil three and one vacuum work great for small  messes in my living room.  It is very light weight and easy to carry from room to room.  I like that  the handle  can be detached so I can use it as a handheld vacuum cleaner to use it in my car. I also like that I can use it from my hardwood floor to my carpet. It is very easy to clean. I don't have to worry about buying replacement filters. It does a wonderful job cleaning up small messes around my house.
