Hi, I have ordered my Dirt Devil in March 2013, and it was working fine. But early September it stopped charging. Do I have any option on fixing it?

It comes with a 3-year warranty. You should have gotten a warranty card in the box. Check it for phone number or website. Otherwise go to dirtdevil.com for help with your device. Good luck.

Your battery may not be dead! IT'S PROBABLY THE CHARGER. I purchased a second battery so we can always have power regardless and found that the charger was just not charging. I unplug the charger for about one minute and plug back in. It then will fully charge the batteries. There are many times I don't get a full charge and unplugging the charger and allowing it to reset works every time. We use the vacuum daily and the original battery is at least five years old and works just fine even today. IT'S PROBABLY THE CHARGER.

When I got mine that didn't happen.About 7 months later it did stop charging tho. Id return it or have someone look at it. It might just be the charger, you never knew!

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

I am far from qualified to answer but here goes. That has happened to our Riccar (very expensive vacuum that was constantly in repair, hence buying a cheap Dirt Devil) and every time it was the power cord. Usually it somehow came disconnected at the point where the cord enters the vaccume. Because Riccar is made entirely if metal parts excluding the frame it was cost effective, to a point, to have it repaired. The wonderful little Dirt Devil costs less then 1/10 of the price so, IMHO, you may as well buy a new one.

Yea, I noticed the same thing. I got a unit in September and a month later in October I had to replace the battery. I thought that perhaps the original unit sat on the shelf for a while and that the battery was bad. Unfortunately the weather turned for the worse since October so I have not used it since and I do not know how this next battery is going to hold up.

You may have a faulty device. I have had mine for about 7 months and still works great. I've never had issues with it not charging, and always lasts quite a while. Reach out to Amazon or the seller for a replacement. Best of luck!

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

There is an issue that lots of people are having but Google seems to be ignoring it. I began suffering slow charging about 6 months into ownership. Didn't happen every time but enough to be very annoying. I did find a mickey-mouse solution on your tube. When plugged in, remove the usb cable from the charger and re-insert like 4-5 times. It seems to work...so, that being said, I don't know if the issue is with the charger or the device itself.

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

I have the dirt devil and found a pair on line that are also washable to provide extended life. If you type in Dirt Devil F1 you should get a few options. They are much less expensive than buying then at Target. T

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

We threw our dirt devil away. It had little suction and the battery lasted about 5 minutes fully charged. Do not buy.

Mine worked 3 months last year. I went to start it this year in May and the battery is shot. I finally got in touch with WORX and paid $28.00 shipment for a replacement battery and charger. The charger here and I'm still waiting for the replacement battery.I'm paying $30.00 a week to have my lawn cut weekly and have a $350.00 lawn mower that don't work with a new charger. I would find another brand of electric lawnmower if I were you. Good luck Dave

I had the same problem. It would never fully charge my new motorcycle battery. It would say that it was charged but it would not even turn over. So the charger went in the trash. Sorry I couldn't help.
