The Eureka Maxima is a bagless vacuum that is relatively light weight and durable. It can be adjusted appropriately for longer carpet, wood floors, laminate or tile floors. There are several attachments such as a scrub brush and various extensions to help clean/vacuum hard-to-reach places. It comes with a small headlight that provides illumination in dark corners and closet spaces. I’ve had the vacuum for about four years now and it has been pretty good. It does its job fairly well and was relatively inexpensive. I use it mostly for my medium length carpet bedrooms and laminate floors. In my previous condo, I’ve also used it for tile floors. My wife and I use the extensions quite a bit. We also use it clean our air filters and curtains. It helps clean under the couch and crevices that we miss. The bagless container is easy to dispose but there are some issues with the filter.

Personally, I would never buy a vacuum with a bag (if there’s any left on the market with this feature). If you have pets, the hair tend to clog the filter where the opening and make it lose suction. We’ve banged the vacuum around quite a bit but it’s still working fine. Nothing has broken yet aside from us having to replace the rubber ring that spins the rollers (not sure what it’s called). It is also self-propelling so is easier for almost anyone to handle. Overall, this vacuum is inexpensive but serves its purpose well.
