Kone Handhelds Review – Cheap? or Functional? by Stephen Stein
I recently purchased a Kone handheld Vacuum online, and I love it so much I wanted to write a review to let the world know what a great addition to my ‘House cleaning Arsenal’ this product really is. I’ve used it everyday since I bought it, and I feel like it’s worth its weight in gold.
Whats makes Kone so special, you ask? I’ll tell you.
My expectations for a hand-held vacuum were not very high -obviously it will never have the suction power of my Kirby- but there are many little jobs around the house it would be good for – things like quick touch ups on the stairs, to get the surface pet fur cleaned up, around the litter box, to get up the stray litter, dropped food around the kitchen table, especially things like flour, because my little one loves to bake, dry pet food that makes it way out of the bowl and around Christmas time, stray pine needles. For this and many other small jobs the Dirt Devil Kone has met and even surpassed my expectations.
The Dirt Devil Kone is designed by Karim Rashid and is made to be kept out in the open. I have mine on a table in the family room and it fits in just fine – granted it’s modern look might not go with every decor, but I’d rather have something that can be kept in plain sight and is easy to access and use. From a distance a few folks have thought it was a funky lamp.
Why I like the Dirt Devil Kone is easy to see – the cone shaped vacuum fits into the base, which doubles as the charger – no separate cord to get lost, plus it makes it so much easier to keep track of it, if you put the vacuum down, it might roll away, and it’s easy to notice if it’s missing from the base. What I also love is that because the base is the charger, this little powerhouse is always charged and ready to go – no more grabbing your old dust buster only to find that it is dead.
The vacuum itself is about 18″ long, and weighs less than two pounds. I did have initial concern that the circular shape of the end would limit suction (it’s only about 1 1/2″ wide), but that was based on the fact that every other hand-held vacuum I had always had a wider and more angular front. The nozzle is a bit smaller than traditional hand-held vacuums, but I find that what it lacks in width is made up in power – it has a decent 7.2 volt motor, which is great for picking up pet hair and getting under the cabinets in the kitchen – it also works well for cleaning the stairs.
It did take a bit of time getting use to holding the cone shaped vacuum, initially it felt awkward, but again every hand-held vacuum I had always had a wider handle. After using it a few times I found it much nicer to grasp as I have I have tiny hands. It can also be rotated during use to aid in sucking up the dirt. To start and stop it simply depress the power button located at the top of the unit.
To get the cone in and out of the base you need to line it up and give a slight twist – it only fits one way. To open and empty the vacuum you also twist it. It comes with a removable and replaceable filter cup and the cone shape of the nozzle does hold a decent amount of dirt.
All in all, I know that this product is right for me. I have had it for a couple of months now, and I seriously don’t know what I’d do without it at this point. All my kids use it for their rooms, and my little one’s get a kick out of using it because they think it’s a cool toy. Now they can clean and have fun at the same time. I would recommend this product to anyone who has kids, pets, or just an all around dirty living situation. I plan on buying one for my mom, sisters, brothers and friends this christmas. For the price, its the hottest gadget on the market right now, but don’t take my word for it. Get one for yourself.
