I had this for about two months. I have one cat and one dog and grandbabies. So used it quite often. Picked up debris easily, had to work to get the pet hair, but did its job. However, now the motor has stopped after only 2 months. I really thought it should of lasted a little longer than this. Good machine for as long as it lasted.
What's great about it: convenient size, ideal handle, easy to move and store
What's not so great: length of cord, not convenient to empty,longer handle on attachment
This product is or has... Easy to carry, Convenient to store, great color and handle

This is the best vacuum I have ever owned. The suction is amazing and I cannot believe how much stuff this little thing can pick up! It's only 12 pounds which is huge bonus! We have had many different brands of vacuums before this one but none of them compare!! It's so easy to clean the filter and empty the bin. I clean the filter after about 3-4 uses to maintain optimum performance. Definitely happy with this vacuum and would recommend it to anyone who has pets.
What's great about it: Light weight and powerful
This product is or has... Enough suction that a single-pass does the job, Useful tools, A great pet hair picker upper, Easy to carry, Convenient to store

The 12amp motor makes an impact. I have been searching for something to clean up after my two labs and 14 year old. Works wonderful on short carpeting and rugs. Its too powerful for deep carpet and is hard to push and pull due to the suction.

It did a great job of cleaning up after our dog (a beagle) including the carpet and furniture. However, we where done, the filter was so clogged, it was a mess to clean up.
What's great about it: Cleans up dog hair really well.
What's not so great: Filter clogs up.

I purchased this vacuum specifically because it stated that it would pick up dog hair. Well I a glad to say that it does a very good job of it. It is easy to handle are fairly easy to clean. I would recommend it to anyone you is looking for a moderately priced vacuum.
What's great about it: Great for pet hair and is light weight
What's not so great: The additional attachments fall off their storage spots on the cleaner too easily

Bought this because my other $40 vac died. I liked the features, size and the price. First few times I used it, worked great. I don't have a lot of carpet but I have 8 long haired dogs that rotate inside/outside. I vacuum 3 times a week. This lasted less than 3 months. Would have saved money investing in a better vac. Now I have to buy another and I can't find my reciept!
What's great about it: lightweight
What's not so great: suction....well, doesn't suck...

I am glad that I read that other reviews first. The tip about the switch at the bottom of the machine that turns the suction from floor to hose made all of the difference in the world, but I probably would have known that if I would have read the manual first! It was easy to put together & shipped here fast. It has great sucking power, just remember to empty & clean the canister often! The cord is a little short for larger rooms as others have stated, but all in all it seems to do just as good of a job as some of the other higher priced vacuums that I have owned. I have several children & 2 dogs and I clean the floors twice per week. I love this little cleaner. The head is even small enough to fit in between bar my stools! It also does stand up to the Lego, rice, Cheerio, hound hair, & play sand tests at my house :-)
I wish that the cord were longer (fixed with an extension cord).
I also wish that the accessory hose was longer or had a hose attachment that could make it longer.
Other than that it is a great buy.
What's great about it: great value, ease of use
What's not so great: short cord. short hose
I would recommend this to a friend!

liked it so much I bought 2. dispite of the 3 dissapointments Fur catcher attachment is not the greatest, beater bar stops easily . It is not easy to remove the canister top to empty. I wish the cord was 4 feet longer! Dispite this I love the power, easy gliding & compact storage. I have already recomended to 2 friends that bought & share the same opinions as me . . . so this is actually 3 reveiws!
What's great about it: powerful suction
What's not so great: cord too short

I bought this vacuum for a spare for the upstairs so I didn't have to lug my dyson up the steps. Its a good vacuum for the price. I think the rounded handle is uncomfortable and the bagless bin is a little small. (Its a pet vacuum so its going to pick up lots of hair but most pet vacuums aren't designed to pick up tons of hair so you have to empty it every room). I would not recommend this if you are looking for main vacuum cleaner. This is great as a secondary to keep off your main living floor. Also don't get this as a main vacuum if you have two or more large hairy dogs. Its just not designed for it. Also, you have to turn knobs and press buttons to get the hose suction to work. its too complicated. You should be able place the vacumm upright, pull out the hose and go, but you can't do that here.
What's great about it: small, nice attachments, cheap
What's not so great: not high performance, somewhat awkard to use, dirt bin too small
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the first review that I've ever written, so let me tell you, this vacuum must be pretty special! I have a dog that sheds A LOT and I go through vacuums every 6months or so. I've gone through the big and heavy - supposed to be heavy duty vacs - to even borrowing vacs from my mom or friends to see which ones work the best. Most either don't have the power they claim to have, are too big and bulky, or just plain die in a few months. I actually read customer reviews before making this purchase and I am thrilled that this is the vac I decided to go with. It picks up all the dog hair, it's great on the carpet and on the hardwood floors and it's lightweight which is ideal since I'm 9 mo pregnant and don't really have energy to do a lot of work when it comes to cleaning up. It's compact so I can store it anywhere and emptying is a snap. I love that you control the hose or floor function so that you get the best results each time you use it. I would definitely recommend this product and I hope that my review is taken into consideration when a person is shopping for vacs. Like I stated before, I've never taken the time to actually write a review so I wouldn't have done so if I didn't really believe in this product.
What's great about it: Everything! Lightweight, powerful, easy storage, easy clean up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this vacuum for a little over a year and I have always been overly satisfied with how well this thing cleans. I have 3 dogs that shed all the time, and this vacuum picks up hair better than any I have ever owned.
That said I do have a few complaints: 1. The filter has to be changed constantly or it will lose suction, and when you empty the canister you have to clean the filter because it will be clogged. 2. When emptying the canister dirt will get everywhere so do it outside. 3. It is made of cheap plastic and can be fragile. 4. The wheels are held on only by 2 plastic clips that provide tension against the inside of the wheel, once the clips go the wheels fall off all the time.
It was cheap so I didn't expect it to last forever, so I am still satisfied with it overall. The great cleaning power made it well worth it, but I think I will try to find a sturdier version next time.
What's great about it: Cleans like nothing else I have ever used.
What's not so great: Poor design and quality of parts
I would recommend this to a friend!

I read several reviews here before buying. I have now had the vacuum 4+ months. I use it frequently because my cat sheds more than one cat really should. This vacuum is great. It's smaller than I thought it would be, but the handle is adjustable, and the smaller width of the floor suction portion is great for getting underneath chairs, without having to move the furniture. It's also light weight, but I do not find it to be "cheaply made," as one reviewer wrote.
I read that some users had problems with it blowing dust away when used on bare floors. I do not have this problem, as long as I changed the setting to bare floors. There are two switches you can use to change the settings for the hose, bare floors and carpets. When used correctly, all is well. The vacuum picks up cat hair and dust so well, that I have to clean the filters with each use. I used another reviewer's advice and use a small toothbrush and pipe-cleaner type brushes. It's well worth the extra work to have the floors and carpeting clean for once.
The Paw tool works well on upholstered furniture, and just okay on the furniture that the hair especially loves to cling. I do wish the hose were just a little longer, and that it had a little more suction. However, this is by far the best vacuum I've owned, especially for the price.
What's great about it: Picks up the cat hair and dust, light weight, small enough for tight spaces
What's not so great: Filter needs frequent cleaning, but this is a good problem to have
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the weight (12lbs.)...makes it easier to do quick vacuum jobs as well as vacuum the stairs. No need for a stair hose, just run the vacuum along the stairs from side to side. The attachments are great...should be standard with all vacuums, though you do need to flip a switch when using the hose, but it really isn't a problem. On / off switch for using on bare floors.
The problems I have found and contacted Eureka about are: the dust cup & filter: way too messy. You have to clean the filter EVERY time you empty and the dust and etc doesn't come out very easy. By the time I'm done, I'm covered in the dust that I just sucked up from my house. DEFINATELY AN OUTSIDE JOB. Discovered that the plastic back wheels do not move easily and have a ridge down the center of each wheel and therefore have been scratching my wood floors....kind of makes this useless to use on 'multiple surfaces'. I tried covering the ridges with wide rubber bands, but they fly off. I'm working on a 'wheel cozy'. We'll see how that works. The electric cord is really too short. I can only vacuum the room that I'm in and then unplug and go to the next.
My house is approximately 2400 square feet & it took me 1 hour & 45 minutes to vacuum floors, furniture, stairs, base boards, etc. Not bad I thought. I used to have a Boss 4D and while it worked well, it was just TOO HEAVY!
I would recommend with reservations. I would like to see an improvement with the wheels & dust cup. Eureka tried to steer me to their Comfort Clean, but it didn't have the on/off brush roll (that should be standard as well)
What's great about it: EXTREMELY lightweight (12lbs). Makes for easier use especially by children
What's not so great: dust cup & filter...a complete mess to empty & clean
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have a 16-year-old long haired kitty who sheds like crazy. I have always considered myself a pretty decent housekeeper, and my little Dirt Devil vacuum was wonderful and lasted around 10 years before it finally bit the dust last week. My husband did some research before we headed out to purchase a new vacuum, and after reading up on it, we decided to give this one a try. I am SO happy we did. It picked up SO MUCH hair... I can hardly believe all that my Dirt Devil missed! (Not knocking Dirt Devil...as I said, this one was around 10 years old, so the poor thing was probably just worn out!) This Eureka vac worked wonderfully for our kitty's bedding, his throw blanket, our area rug, the lamp shades, our carpeted stairs...you name it, it did the job. To give you an idea of the suction power on this thing, it actually picked my rug up off the floor when I was cleaning it. I was shocked! It even did a great job on our hardwood floors. Can't beat it for $79.99! It's a bit smaller than some of the regular uprights we saw, but still has the same power as the larger ones...12 amps. It's compact enough that you can store it just about anywhere. I did need to stop once and clean the filter, but it was fairly easy to do. (It had been over a week since I'd been able to vacuum after our previous one died, so I had a lot to clean, otherwise I may not have needed to stop and change the filter at all...) Assembly was also very easy. Not trying to give a sales pitch or anything here, I'm just a very satisfied customer! We've had nothing but good results. 2 thumbs up!
What's great about it: Does exactly what it claims!
What's not so great: Can't think of a single negative...I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased this because of the reviews posted. Should have looked further in to it. Lightweight, quiet, easy to put together are all good, but it did not pick up the cat hair from the rugs. I have yet to find a vacuum the can keep up with the 3 cats and baby we have.
