Dirt Devil Swerve Upright Bagless Vacuum Cleaner First Impressions Review

$99.00

Easily maneuverable, compact and only $99, the Dirt Devil Swerve may end up being a solid entry-level bagless upright when it goes on sale this fall. As soon as a production model is available, we're hoping to get one in our testing lab for a thorough scientific evaluation.

Introduction

Chicago may be best known for tall buildings, deep dish pizza and bovine arsonists, but right now it's been overrun by vacuum cleaners and other home appliances at the International Home + Housewares Show at McCormick Place.

That's where Dirt Devil gave us a sneak preview of their latest vacuum, the Swerve. Expected to retail for $99 when it goes on sale this fall, it's a bagless upright with cyclonic filtration and a flexible brushhead that allows it to turn corners easily.

We got to spend some time with a preproduction model of the Swerve on the show floor in Chicago. Though we'll have to wait to get a production version in our lab to conduct a full scientific test, we can say that the new Swerve is compact and maneuverable and will likely attract attention in the entry-level upright segment.
