A definite homerun in a home vac!! Highly recommended!

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015

I'm occupying the lowest floor of a townhome, living with family, and on the mend from some major surgery. My activities are supposed to be limited, so I bought this stand up and a small corded vacuum to keep my living area clean and neat. I also have three cats and a litter box to keep clean, so these new vacuums have been a godsend. The features on this are tremendous! It's very easy to maneuver, cleans like crazy, and the touted "short vacuum path" of the dirt is quite noticeable. For the price, this is the best vac I've ever used. Easy to empty, easy to adjust, pulls a great amount of suction without slowing down. The only con I've found so far is that the extender tube falls off any time the thing is moved. I've tried to use rubber bands keep it fastened and still accessible, so far with no luck. The plastic friction-type tube holder is just too loose and flexible. But the automatic cord rewind is wonderful, never had one on a home vac before, and will never go without one again.

2nd look: I figured out a good way to keep the tool extender attached to the vacuum body (pics to illustrate). I cut two small pieces of adhesive Velcro, one for each side of the tube "holders." Then, a thin strip of the other "side" of Velcro, which I wrapped around the tube at the level of the holders. I used extra strength Velcro, since that was what I had on hand, but I'm sure regular strength would work as well. Now, the tube stays stuck to the vac until I want to take it off.

Useful extras, light weight, very powerful, convenient to use

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018

This is my honeymoon review. Thus far, this has proven itself to be a heck of a value. Lots of suction, lots of useful extras and it is relatively light weight considering how powerful it is. The only complaint I have thus far is that the attachments are not secure and fall off during use. The hose it has is long and has plenty of reach but still packs up small and is secure on the vacuum.. The attachments work well for their intended use though I don't really recommend keeping them on the vacuum itself. Store them elsewhere if need be. This thing picked up dirt I didn't know was there. It also lifted the linoleum floor up in my kitchen and bathroom of my apartment that wasn't glued down, so it's too powerful to use in my kitchen and bathroom. It consumed the cobwebs from the corners of my ceilings with ease using the wand attachment. It is easy to use, inexpensive and very powerful. It's simply amazing bang for the very few bucks.

I would buy it again in a heartbeat, but the manufacturer was a bit slow to ship.

Great vacuum for the price

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2016

I've had this vacuum for about a month now and I think it was a very good value. My last two vacuums in the last ten years were both $400 Dysons. I liked them very much, but eventually they each had something wrong like something stuck in the wand that wouldn't come out. They are so expensive to fix or buy parts for, that I decided if I'm going to buy a new one every 4 or 5 years, I should spend less.

This Eureka, at only about $100, picks up dirt every bit as well as the Dysons. It is very powerful and has some convenient features. In particular, I love the automatic cord rewind button and the special spinning brush attachment for cleaning the sofa and stairs. Also, it is made of much thinner, cheaper plastic which is good because the vacuum feels lighter to lift than the Dysons. Of course, it looks cheaper, but who's looking?

Some cons: the plastic is much thinner and cheaper. I know I said that it is a "pro" but I have a feeling it will break much more easily. So far it has not. There are three things I don't like about it, but they are minor. First, there is no handle on it to lift the whole thing up. I have to use two hand to lift it over the two stairs into the hallway. Second, and this one is more irritating, switching from the bottom suction to the wand is much more effort. In my Dysons the top handle just lifted right out and became the wand with no fuss. With the Eureka, you have to turn off the vacuum, switch a knob on the side from floors to tools, and then unwind the tube and attach the wand and then turn it back on. So I'm finding I'm too lazy to use it as much I did before. Third, some of the attachments won't stay put on the vacuum body when not in use. On my Dysons, the tubes and brushes were locked in until you took them off. On the Eureka they often (every time I use it) fall off while I'm working. It's just not as well made.

Let's see how it goes. But if this one breaks in a couple of years and I have to replace it, I'm still ahead cost wise and my house is just as clean. I would definitely buy this again.

Could not push it across the floor.

The number one thing I liked about this vacuem was the dirt cup. This dirt cup is 100 percent washable, comes apart and is extremely easy to clean. No dirt or hair collects at the top of the cup and the filter easily can be washed as well. It also does not need dumped after every room. This company got this part 100 percent right.

I also loved the swivel head and just tilting it back to release the handle.

I had to teturn this vacuem and i truly wish i did not have too. I returned it because it had no height adjustment control. Because of not being able to adjust the height, the vacuem was extremely difficult to push forward or backwards. I had to use all my energy just to vacuum and was sweating profusely as if i had just ran five miles. It literally would not glide across my floor. I read the directions and opened the vent completely but it still would not quit getting stuck on my carpet. I have berber carpet in my entire home. Even without the machine being on, i could not get it to slide across the carpet. I was so dissapointed in this.

The suction power of this vacuum was amazing and picked up more dirt than my previous vacuum ever had.

Now onto the attachments. The hose is way to short even if using it with the handle. The vacuum cleaner constantly kept tipping over. The extra attachments also kept getting knocked of the vacuem by the hose hitting them when using the other attachments.

I truly loved this vacuumes power, swivel head, dirt cup and washable filter. I wish i could have kept it.

I like it. One use and it confirmed I needed a new vacuum

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018

I thought my old vacuum was doing a fine job. It was just heavy and sounded like it was starting to die. But I thought it was cleaning.

I got this new Eureka and was immediately disgusted by how much extra dirt it sucked up on what I thought were mostly clean carpets. I mean seriously gross how much this picked up. (In a good way for the vacuum). I had to empty the canister 3 times doing 2 floors of carpeting. And it's not a small canister. It holds quite a bit. My rugs were just that dirty and this vacuum didn't mess around.

After vacuuming with the new machine the rugs just felt cleaner under my feet. They felt like new carpets. I had apparently gotten used to what grungy carpets feel like.

The attachments are fine except the mini vac with the spin brush. The spin brush doesn't spin when in contact with anything. It's powered by the vacuum suction, not a drive belt. So that's normal. I've yet to see one of those things that worked properly.

But the main upright vacuum is great. It maneuvers easily. It's medium light weight (It's not featherweight, but it's not an industrial shop vac either). The light on the front is nice. And it pulled dirt out of the rug you don't even want to know you have.

The canister is REALLY easy to empty. And the upper plastic filter (not the sponge one) is easy to clean all without ever having to touch the giant dust bunny in the canister.

Great value but has limits and cheap bits.

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2016

This is a cheap vacuum. Expect nothing special but great suction and some nice convenient features.
The plastic clip that holds the little turbo tool broke the first time the vacuum fell on its side.
The tools fall off regularly when I use this vacuum normally. (Going around things, oops situations in general)

It's kind of hard to push. We have one carpet that is very low nap and this vacuum sticks to it hard. Very difficult to move.

On the plus side, for normal carpet, it's fine to use. I love the retractable cord.
The spin brush hand tool works great in cars. Better than the ones at the car wash or even my shop vac!

Does great on bare floors. Picks up stuff in front rather than pushing it away.

So, this vac will likely get used for a specific mix of duties. It's not for everything.

Pick up dirt you never knew was buried in your carpets

Our old Eureka Maxima Upright died an unpleasant death. Some legos and necklaces got wrapped around the beater brush and eventually burned up the motor when the operator didn't realize the brush had become seized. Was a great vacuum cleaner for 8 years. Belts lasted a couple of years before needing replacing. We decided to replace it with this model because we've always had one Eureka and they've always lasted and performed well. THIS THING ROCKS! It has incredible suction. You could probably pick up a bowling ball with it. However, I need to warn you. You may be grossed out when you see what it picks up that your old vacuum left behind. It has only been a few days since we vacuumed our main family room and morning room carpet with out old vacuum (just before it spit the bit). The carpet didn't look dirty by any means. However, upon using this new vaccum, the amount of dust and dirt that came up and filed the chamber was really alarming. I can only imagine what's compacted in our carpets on other floors. I quickly used throughout the house on all floors Really works well. Little heavy and hard to push on deep pile carpet but it really does the job. I have never liked bagless vaccums in the past because I felt they just sprayed dust back out into the room rather than trapping it in the bag. However, this one has good seals and retains the dust extremely well. This is definitely a very good vacuum with very good suction.

Excellent suction, Excellent value

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

This vacuum works great, and is an excellent value for the price. A couple things to note is that the suction is so great, that depending on how thick your carpet is, you will want to adjust the height of the brush or you will start pulling up your carpet. We had to adjust the height to a little higher than half since we were pulling up our carpet as well as the dirt. Also, the turn setting between floor and handheld can be used to adjust the amount of suction. You can turn part way to create a little bit of suction if you want to use on drapes or an area where multiple items are placed. As a warning, the suction is so strong that it will suck up a t-shirt, so be careful around loose items.

Pros:
- Excellent suction
- Deactivate the brush for hardwood floors
- One touch cord retraction
- Quiet rubber wheels excellent for wood floors
- Front rubber bumpers
- Light weight

Cons:
- Handle is a bit wobbly, but never feels like it's going to break or fall apart
- Typical of all bagless vacuums - can be a bit dusty when emptying the bin

Updated 3-1-18:

As with every vacuum I've ever purchased, and as I stated in my initial review of the Eureka, they always seems great when they are new. Not so much after a while. Just about one year into this one and it started to lose suction. I managed to keep it usable for the last couple of months by cleaning the filters every week, but even that won't help it now. It's still under warranty, but I figure by the time I pay the shipping each way, for a vacuum that will only last or year or less (assuming they can fix it) I might as well get a new one. Plus I would be without a vacuum for however many weeks they need to fix it. Found a Shark on sale at Home Depot. We'll try that. Disposable vacuums seem to be the norm these days.

First impressions out of the box and with only one pass around the house. This seems like a solid little vacuum. Compared to the Hoover model I just returned (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CG0BHU8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) it is much more solidly constructed, lightweight, has much better suction, and across the board the features are better. No comparison, really. The Hoover was a real junker.

Like another reviewer commented on some other vacuum, nobody really makes a great vacuum any more. They all feel like plastic junk that you are afraid to tip over for fear of breaking it. That's why I don't give this one 5 stars. You gotta know this isn't going to last for a bunch of years. I've owned an Oreck, a Shark, a Hoover, a Dyson, and a Kirby. Everything from the way expensive to the cheapo. None of them last very long and none of them do a super fantastic job. So I just buy cheap ones now and replace them every couple of years. For a $100 bucks, this Eureka seems like as good a bet as any. Maybe better, so far.

Pros:
1. Foot controls for the power, brush roller on/off, and handle release
2. Power cord retraction. Let's hope it lasts. It's very convenient. Also allows you to use the vacuum with the cord at whatever length you need, so the excess cord isn't piling up around you and getting in the way. But when this breaks, there won't be any easy way to stow the cord. It'll be new-vacuum time.
3. Very easy to switch over to the attachment hose which is right there and easy to pull out and use. The attachments seem to fit snugly into the hose, so I'm hoping they don't constantly fall out when I'm using them, a problem I've had with a lot of vacuums. They also seem well attached to the body of the vac, so I'm hoping they don't fall off when I'm using it.
4. Easy to change for carpet height. The Hoover was a bear. You had to tip the vacuum back and twist the dial really hard.
5. Fairly low profile vacuum head, so it fits under counter edges and stuff pretty well.
4.Great suction. Picks up stuff the Hoover passed right over. I vacuumed an area rug I had used the Hoover on recently and was amazed at how much stuff it picked up. Seems to work really well on dog hair imbedded in the rugs too. The Hoover didn't cut it at all in that area. Also, we live in the woods and get a lot of pebbles, bark (we use a wood stove), gravel and other debris on our laminate floors. This seems to suck all that up, unlike many other vacuums I've used. So far, anyway. We'll see if the motor holds up over time. They all seem to lose their max suction capacity after a while. It also has good clearance on the proper setting so it doesn't snowplow and push the larger pieces along instead of picking them up
5. Very lightweight. Easy to carry and push around.
6. The front edge pickup is great. Push it up agains the wall and it pulls in all the debris that has lodged there. Stuff that many other vacuums I've owned would have left behind.

Cons:
1. No way to grab the body of the thing when you want to lift it up and over the edge of an area rug so it doesn't gobble it up. You can sort of put your hand behind the canister and lift it that way, but a handle on the leading edge of the canister would be nice. You can turn the brush roller off and it still does a pretty good job on the throw rugs because the suction is so good, but sometimes you are going t need to use the brush roller too. The vacuum is pretty lightweight though, and that helps.
2. The upholstery attachment seems a little bogus. The opening is very small and sucks down on to whatever you are vacuuming so the brush roller inside stops and then you are not doing any cleaning. But I probably won't use this a lot anyway. I've never seen a good upholstery attachment on any vacuum.
3. Watch out when using the attachment hose. It's not very long, for starters, and if you pull it from behind the vacuum, the vacuum tips over and smashes the handle into the floor. I doubt that cheap plastic is going to hold up to too many of those falls. So use caution. I guess the trade off for the shorter hose is the ease of stowing it on the vacuum.
4.The canister is pretty small. They say to empty it after every use. That will be a bit of a bother. But doing so will probably make it clean better, so it's probably going to worth the few minutes it takes. It's easy to take off and empty. I question how well the seals between the canister and the vac will hold up. They seem pretty flimsy to me. It seals well for now.
5. I wish the brush roller would turn off automatically when you stop and put the handle back up. It will be hard on the roller and the rugs over time. What would it cost them to add a cut-off switch? Of course, the foot switch for the brush roller is easy enough to use. But I get lazy.
6. Why no spare belt? Again, what would it cost them to throw in a spare belt? Most vacuums don't do this. It seems like they should. I'll probably order one. It will probably be overpriced.

So... according the reviewer Mad Max he was saying that this vacuum sucks... or the lack of suction! I've owned several Vacuums two are the Eureka which both of them reported to have the same suction power as the dyson Dc41 which in my opinion didn't really have the power that the dyson vacuum claimed it would be. I like Eureka and this Airspeed Unlimited is in a class of its own. I've recently had a chance to try the DC41 vacuum that my wife's friend owns (about 4months old) and This Eureka Airspeed unlimited has MORE SUCTION POWER! So to MAD MAX... you must have A. not installed the vacuum correctly or B. got a dud. Before I was borrowing my friends hoover vacuum which is not the exact same model as Mad Max had tried but its the same power and class as the Hoover Vacuum. Comparing the results from the Eureka its really Amazing! The Carpet is almost New again. So I did the hall way which has the most traffic.On an empty container on the Hoover Vacuum it got what I first thought a lot of soil. then I compared it to the Eureka immediately after vacuuming.... More Soil! Lots of Sand and fine particles came up from the carpet that the Hoover did not have!. On the main living room I did A side by side comparison Slowly going forward and back on the Hoover and slowly going forward and back on the eureka Side by side you can notice a difference. The carpet is brighter, fluffier and going over on the same carpet path with the Eureka just cleans up the carpet so well. I love it!

So If you order this vacuum I would make sure that the parts are installed. I checked the filters to make sure they are seated correctly... also take a look at where the rubber grommets meet the bagless container they should be flush. if not you will loose suction and I believe that may be the case of Mad Max.
