Everyone knows this logo. It’s pretty much synonymous with cleaning products and I’ll be honest, I’ve owned quite a few Dirt Devils over the years. As a matter of fact, all I had in the way of a vacuum in my first house was a little Dirt Devil hand held vac (remember them, with the rotating brush and the obnoxiously loud motor?). I used that little machine to vacuum an 800 square food bungalow for the first three months I lived there. It was a time consuming process to say the least, especially since it required several plug changes and even more frequent bag cleanings, all while on hands and knees.
The world has changed a lot since then. At that time they were still selling big block V8’s and we were all worshiping the marvels that were yet to be called SUV’s. (We just called them trucks back then.) Today we’re all worried about Energy Star ratings and a knock on the door from Eco Nazis hosting some strange television show if we use too many paper towels. Strangely enough, the powered cleaning industry seems to be the one part of the corporate world that has been immune to the cry of environmentalism that has swept the western world of late, or they were until now.
Enter the Dirt Devil AccuCharge. The first rechargeable vacuum to receive an Energy star rating. Now even certified members of the Green Gestapo can happily vacuum their floors, all the while secure in the knowledge that they are wasting far less energy than they would have if they used any other product. The rest of us can happily do the same, but without the worry of that knock on the door.
Well, unless you use too many paper towels…
OK honestly, the above was meant to be a bit on the humorous side. Energy usage is most definitely something we should be concerned about and when something you have to do meets something that’s good to do, why not go with it. Greener is better, but like anything else, moderation is the key.
