 don't buy this vacuum January 5, 2009
M. Filippi (Lancaster, NY)
I received the vacuum as a Christmas gift and the first time I used the vacuum a small plastic piece near the spinning brush cracked. Packed with your vacuum paperwork (instructions, registration etc.) is a piece of paper that says if you have a problem with this vacuum, don't return it, call 1-800-282-2886, so I did. I explained to the customer service agent what happened and they told me to take it to a repair shop for warranty work. Niether the vacuum repair shop, nor the eureka customer service dept. will guarantee me that this repair will be free. They will fix it first and then tell me if there is a charge. I am unable to return it, because I used the vacuum. I have since talked to 4 different people at eureka about getting this virtually new vacuum repaired under warranty and as of yet the warranty department will still not guarantee the repair will be done at no charge. The part is still cracked, the vacuum works, it probably will not get repaired because I am not going to sink any more $$ into a vacuum that broke on its first use. I will never buy eureka again, the quality of the vacuum is poor and their customer service is even worse.
 Decent vacuum, bad Power Paw December 24, 2008

Pros: Good suction power, lowered cost of bags and filters because most are water washable, well balanced (doesn't tip over easily), main vacuum head can get very close to edges, wide vacuum path.
Cons: Having 4 cats and vacuuming 1-2 times per week, I have to clean all the filters every time I vacuum. I got this vacuum primarily because of the power paw, we live in a tri-level, so we have the equivalent of 1 flight of carpeted steps (14 of them) and after vacuuming the steps twice with the power paw, it quit functioning. I took it apart to find that the pet hair had gotten between the bearing type surface of the metal rod and the plastic side retainer on the drive belt side of the power paw. I tried cleaning it out to no avail, so I got a warranty replacement. I had to wait 6 weeks to get the new Power Paw, and I had it in my mind that I would make this last and clean it every 7 steps. Well, that was 2 weeks ago. The new Power Paw is now junk. :( I'm going to have to find a different vacuum.
Overall: It is a good vacuum, and well priced for its power, BUT if you need to clean stairs or an area smaller than the typical head, look elsehwere. I'm afraid I'm going to have to buck up and buy a Dyson. I hope this helps everyone.
 Great vacuum! December 3, 2008

I'm very impressed with this vacuum! Easy to assemble, easy to go from vacuum to add on tools. Great suction power! Was absolutely amazed at what my old vacuum wasn't picking up! All the tools fit nicely on the unit. Mine, which I purchased at Sam's Club for $129 also came with an extension hose, so I can reach the top of the stairs! The unit seems to be well balanced- haven't had it tip over when using the cleaning tools.
Defintely worth the money!
great vacuum August 20, 2008

We upgraded to this model from a another Eureka upright. For what it's worth Eureka has redesigned and improved this over our older one.
Works great on bare floors and our small area rugs. Pet hair brush works well but could be larger - takes a while to vacuum large areas. Hose is long enough to reach without dragging the whole unit around, electric cord is extra long. Dust brush works OK. Machine is bagless and it works OK. You will have to dump the bin and wash out at least two filters and maybe a third before you use the machine again. Not a big deal, saves on the cost of bags.
Note that this unit is heavy! If you drag you vacuum up and down stairs you may want a lighter model.
