Some Maintenance Required

 

I've always been a sucker for bagless vacuums. Its very convenient to be able to flip a lever, remove the catch bin, empty it, and resume vacuuming. The hose can be quickly detached from the body of the vacuum to capture debris in corners, near base...

I have seen so many bagless vacuums in the garbage because many people don't seem to know how to maintain their bagless vacuums. Besides the catch can, there are usually 2 to three additional filters that must be periodically removed and cleaned to...

Pretty bad

 

After the issues above started occurring, we ended up using our hand-vacuum instead because this one was essentially worthless. Put your $80 towards something else.

It will clean sufficiently for a short period of time ; The duster is a nice touch (while it works)

It never cleaned exceptionally well, even when it was brand new ; It seemed to start losing suction after just a handful of uses ; This thing started smoking after about eight months of pretty light usage. Reading reviews on other sites showed that...

Really cool. The built in duster thing really works

You have to push it around. It should be remote controlled

This Vacuum Sucks - (Lean and Mean Write Off Sweepstake)

 

I got an old Hoover vacuum from the early 80s that still haven't conked out yet, but it was getting harder to find bags for it. We've been emptying it out, but this time the bag ripped in places we just couldn't repair. Looking at ...

Performed great when new.

Lost suction in 3 months, spiting dirt back onto the floor.

Pass on this one....

 

I bought this vacuum in April of 2006 thinking that for the price it had some impressive features. It went out to the curb on March 25, 2008. Eureka should have spent the extras on suction instead. The duster is worthless, it doesn't even spin ...

Powerpaw was cool until it stopped spinning. A cat& kids were too much for it.

Too many to list. Get a Dyson!

Hate to Say it But...

 

This vacuum is terrible. Out of all the disappointing vacuum cleaners that I have had, this one takes the cake. First of all, it is very heavy. A lot of people complain about vacuums being heavy, and I feel that they are just looking for flaws. ...

Pretty Appearence

Heavy, poor suction, tools no good

Eureka! I Have Found a Sub- Par Vacuum Cleaner

 

Shopping for a new vacuum cleaner on a trip to Lowe's one day, I found there were many similarly- priced vacuums from brand names that included Hoover, Dirt Devil, and other reputable brands. Unsure which one was best, I made an impulse decision and ...

Bagless technology ; Easy to empty

Low suction ; Doesn't do well on bare floors ; Duster doesn't perform as claimed
