Pros
- ease of use
- accessories
Cons
- the heaviness of the vacuum
- doesn’t work on bare floors
This is a very good vacuum made by Eureka. The power of it is awesome. It has a great sucking power and very little effort to draw dirt out of the floor.It has a turbo nozzle which allows me to get the dirt out of any small crack or crevice.
The nozzle can reach under furniture and even in cramped corners. This has often been a problem with other vacuums and fortunately for me and others, Eureka saw the need and now has a remedy in this nozzle.This vacuum also has a duster which spins and dusts any area. The vacuum is easy to put together and use.
It is a little heavy at times but that does not deter from the use.The vacuum is bagless and the filter is very easy to empty. I would recommend that this vacuum be used mainly on carpet. On bare floors, the vacuum seems to regurgitate the debris.
On carpet the suction is great and without fail. However, on the bare floor there is very little suction even though I swept over the same area several times. Overall, I really don’t have any complaints regarding this vacuum.
It performs well on carpet which is why I bought it. It has very awesome suction on carpet. The vacuum was pretty reasonably priced at 89.99. The time it took for me to put it together and start using it was minimal.
The accessories were all handy and useful. The nozzle was long enough for extended reach and the duster really did a great job on my windows shade and blinds. I don’t purchase many vacuums but this one is certainly a useful and economical one. I would definitely recommend this vacuum for general household use to anyone.
Pros
- Wide edge cleaning brush Accessories
Cons
- Can’t disable the brush for bare floors Heavy
Overall, the vacuum has performed well. I was initially leaning towards this model because of its overall ascetics and design, accessories that came with it, and edge cleaning brush. After use for over 2 years, it is still running, which is a lot for a lower priced vacuum.
I have had to clean it several times or it will not have much suction power and performance dramatically decreased but from what I hear, this is typical of many vacuums. Many of the positives revolve around the extra tools. It includes brushes, extensions, corner cleaners, dusters, and attaches all to the vacuum in an attractive way.
Unfortunately, this does add some weight to the cleaner, but overall it is still light enough to use. The extra wide edge cleaner brush is a great addition and works well getting into the corners. I definitely wish that they had provided an option to turn off the brush though for hard floor and tile cleaning.
Most of the time, the brush sprayed the dirt around and was unusable for anything except carpet. The bag-less feature works well and is easy to empty with only one latch. Most of the components are easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning. I did have trouble finding some of the filters at normal department stores and some of them can be costly.
I do like having the filters though as it takes some of the dirt out of the air. The place where the cord is wound up is less than perfect but I have no problem overlooking that problem.
