I bought a cheap floor vac before (a Shark brand) which was "ok", but wasn't nearly as good as using the bare floor attachment of my larger vacuum. I wanted something simple that I could use to clean my bare floors without having to lug the big vacuum out. It's bare floor attachment requires a microfibre pad that has to be clean after each use, and it's just a hassle to use on a regular basis. I did some window-shopping in Amazon and came across this one. The reviews were good, and it was one of the cheaper options so I took a chance.
And I scored.
This floor vac has an amazing amount of suction despite it's size. It has no bushes, but frankly I don't think it needs them. By suction alone this Dirt Devil gets everything off the floor that doesn't require scrubbing with a mop. It can get large particles too, and is really good for cleaning around the cat litter box. I also like the bagless design which works out well. It can be a little challenging to put back on, but once you figure it out it's very easy to reattach. Overall, I like it a lot and I think it was a good investment.
One note, it is "loud". When you use it everyone in the house is going to know it. The motor is high-powered, which is why the suction is so strong. Unlike other stick vacs it's not cordless, but that's not a deal breaker there. You don't need to worry about a non-replacement battery going bad on you in a couple of years.
If you want a simpler vac for linoleum and hardwood floors that gets the job done, then get this one.

Strong suction and easy to clean dust bin
I'll try and talk about what I like most about the SD20505. I've included a picture of the filter assembly which is completely detachable from the "body" of the vacuum cleaner and can be taken apart individually to clean. Why this was so important to me is because my previous vacuum(s) all had difficult to clean dust bin / filter(s) that would eventually hamper the effectiveness of the vacuum over time. The design of this particular vacuum allows easy access to the dust bin to not only empty dust through the trap door at the bottom, but to completely remove the individual components that make up the assembly for deep cleaning. That means after a few sessions of running the vacuum I can simply take apart everything and give it a through clean with hot water without having any nastiness stuck in between the little grooves and crevices. Anyone who's had a foul smelling vacuum in the past knows that a hard to clean dust bin / filter can develop mold or bacteria growth if left unchecked. Pre-filter(s) are also cheap and plentiful here on Amazon and the recommended life change of one is 6 months.Other than that I will echo the other statements made by reviewers here that the vacuum is indeed very strong and quite loud. Definitely not something you can use very early in the morning if you don't want to wake everyone up. I also see no reason why this vacuum could not power though stiff "cut pile" carpets; just keep in mind it has no roller brush on the bottom for hair but should work well enough for general dirt and dust.I'm really happy with my purchase so far; I'll update my review down the road if any mechanical issues arise.
