Sturdier and more durable than past offerings from Dirt Devil, the Dirt Devil i M130000 upright vacuum cleaner costs a substantial bit more than the manufacturer's standard entry-level fare. Part of the cost can be attributed to the HEPA filtration system designed to attract, trap and remove small micro particles from the air. It comes with four seasonal scented HEPA filters.

In spite of its higher price, this model is not full size. Instead, the Dirt Devil i M130000 offers a sleek, non-bulky build that makes it easier to store than many of the oversized uprights currently dominating the marketplace. As a smaller model, the M130000 is streamlined and has a fairly small cleaning path of 13 inches. For this reason, cleaning with this model will require more a few more passes to completely vacuum a sizeable room. Other small vacuum features found on this model are a lighter-than-usual weight of just 19 pounds and a fairly short cord length of only 25 feet.

Equipped with a powered brush, the Dirt Devil i M130000 effectively agitates fibers to release soil, while a handy on/off switch provides easy access for stopping the roll for hard floor cleaning. The typical tools come along with this model and include the standard dusting brush and crevice tool. Some step-up features include a stretch hose instead of the usual fixed one and the addition of a turbo tool for upholstery and stair cleaning. With a long warranty and desirable HEPA filtration, Dirt Devil's i M130000 is made for cleaning small-to-moderate floor spaces.
