CONGRATULATIONS
You are now the proud owner of the Dirt Devila Swivel Glidea Vision, with Power You Can See"!
You'll never buy another bag again with the unique bagless design that includes a see-through
dirt container for retrieving lost items. You'll also enjoy superior cleaning performance with
amps of Maximum Vacuum Power.
Allergen sufferers will benefit with the exclusive Permafilter" with CleanStream" Filtration
located inside the dirt cup and
HEPA exhaust filter that prevent over
99%
of dust and allergens
from escaping the vacuum and re-entering the room. Other features are included that make
vacuuming easier such as the Swivela Casters for easy maneuvering, and tools-on-board for above
floor cleaning.
We are very proud of our products and hope that you are equally satisfied with their quality and
performance.
