Dirt Devil Featherlite vacuum cleaners are a convenient machine for removing dirt and debris from your carpet. Featherlite vacuum cleaners don't have many of the features found in high-end vacuum cleaners, but are a bargain-price solution for homes with low-maintenance carpets, such as throw rugs or rooms with short carpets. In addition, Featherlite vacuums have several attachments for cleaning walls and other hard-to-reach areas.
Step 1
Plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet and press the handle release lever on the back of the nozzle. The handle release allows you to move the handle to a comfortable position for pushing and pulling on the vacuum cleaner.
