Hi all,
This is a heads-up regarding the top-selling Dirt Devil "Kone" rechargeable hand vacuum. The model in question bears "L" in the code on both the machine and its box. It seems Consumer Reports has discovered that this particular model may spew sand or broken glass toward the user's face. TTI the maker of the Kone, did tests itself and acknowledged the problem. Another Kone bearing "J" in its code does not have this flaw.
Though claiming that no complaints have been reported, the company will provide replacement filter adapters free of charge to Kone L owners to eliminate the problem.
Shoppers interested in purchasing a Kone may want to check the code on the box before buying. See the following link for a complete article and video.
