Customer Reviews

Good choice for the money

I started researching vacuum cleaners after my wife talked about spending $550 for a Dysan pet hair vacuum. I read the Consumer Reports assesment that gave two Kenmore vacuums very high ratings and this Eureka was rated fairly high and was much less expensive. So I purchased it.
As most others have stated, this vacuum: has powerful suction, a useable suction powered stair tool, an inexpensive replace-able bag, a replaceable HEPA filter.
Drawbacks? It is a little heavy. The handle release pedal requires a very heavy push. There is a .5 inch section of the roller (where the belt rides) that leaves a track on the carpet unbrushed.
What I would change: A longer hose would be helpful. Find a place on the vacuum to store the "power paw" as some have called it. The cord reel could be designed to be used more easily (You have to work around any attachments that are stored on the vacuum.).
Hint: The extension tube appeared to be totally unusable until I read in the manual that the tube comes in two parts, nested together at the factory. They were nested so tightly that they appeared to be a single piece until I used a hammer to separate them.
I am hopeful that this unit will hold up better than our previous Eureka, that has been operating with duct tape holding it together.

GREAT VACUUM

Vacuum has a lot of power! I did research and consumer information did recommend this vacuum. However, the vacuum I received from Amazon's supplier did have some mechanical problems. I had to take it to the repair shop within a week of purchase. (Repair cost covered by manufacturer) I am hoping that the bad connection is the only problem that will occur. It is truly an amazing cleaning tool. Amazon is willing to swap it out if I have another problem.
So, don't worry. Be HAPPY! And clean your house! :)
