 Rating Disclaimer
Reviewing products, like reviewing movies or restaurants, is arguably a subjective process (even for well-funded consumer groups) based on the review criteria (what the reviewer considers important) and the unique perspective of the reviewer. Thus, when considering The Healthy House Institute's reviews, please do not use the numerical product ratings (e.g., "9.5 out of 10") for direct product comparison purposes since these represent the unique 'take' of each reviewer, and will often vary qualitatively and quantitatively from product to product.
Do rely on the text of the reviews for issues to consider when purchasing similar products, and do consider the scientific data supplied (for example, information from the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval-related research) that will help you in your decision making process. We believe the "truth" about products can only be discovered by weighing, then averaging, a number of factors and credible viewpoints based on available resources and science, then making buying decisions based on what is important to you.

I was very impressed with the FilterStream DirtTamer Supreme. It comes with three of its own special attachments to aid in several areas of cleaning (a 13” flexible crevice tool, an upholstery tool, and a squeegee attachment). The DirtTamer Supreme is HEPA filtered and claims to capture 99.97% of .3 micron dust, pollen, bacteria and allergens.

The FilterStream DirtTamer Supreme easily picks up both wet and dry spills, absorbing up to nine ounces of wet spillage and/or 12 ounces of dry materials. This handheld vacuum's suction is much more powerful than other handheld vacuums that I have used before.
The DirtTamer Supreme's battery life was significantly longer than other handheld vacuums that I have used in the past. I tested the FilterStream DirtTamer repeatedly by allowing it to run for 15 - 20 minutes at a time, each time it easily maintained its suction capacity for the duration of the test.
I especially appreciated its bright dirt finding headlight as well as its charge and low battery indicators. On the negative side, I did find the DirtTamer Supreme to be a bit heavy. However, this is a fair trade-off for the added features and power this handheld vacuum has to offer.
In my professional opinion I would highly recommend this handheld vacuum.
