After our quite old Eureka canister vacuum had finally gone belly up, we were looking for an appropriate replacement. Because this was needed primarily for cleaning hardwood floors, there were a few critical criteria. It had to be strong, yet compact in size. It should not be too loud, and the tool assortment should be appropriate for floors and vacuuming cat hair of various furniture items. Finally, we did not want to have to mess around with cleaning out bagless vacuum containers. The Eureka Mighty Mite 3670 came through with flying colors on all fronts. It produces a powerful vacuum, easily maneuverable, convenient for storing, the noise is not too bad, and a good price. This vacuum cleaner gives an excellent value, and, certainly, gets the job done that we bought it for.

Both Eureka and Amazon need to do a much better job of describing and clarifying the differences in models in "The Boss - Mighty Mite" canister vacuum series.

Don't make the mistake that I almost did of buying the wrong model of this vacuum. There is also a 3670G model on Amazon (as of this writing) which is identical to this one but contains a 12 amp motor (versus only 9 amps for this one). For only about $5-$10 more in price, you get a more powerful vacuum with the 3670G. I'm glad I discovered the difference in time to get that one (which is a great machine!) instead of this less powerful model (which apparently also goes by the name of 3670A).

This one may be great for those who don't need the extra power however and prefer the less expensive price instead. The price difference between the two models is so small however that I'm not sure why this smaller one is even offered. All other features of the two are identical. My review of 4 stars applies to the 3670G instead of this model and the only reason it is 4 stars instead of 5 is that I feel that the attachments should include a 4-5 " wide accessory brush instead of just the 2-3" combination tool, crevice tool and 10" floor tool currently included. The vacuum is an outstanding value in all other regards.

For the money, this is a great little vacumn. I use it more than my $350 upright, since it's light and versatile. But, you may want to order better dusting and floor tools than the ones that come with it.

My house has hardwood floors, so I didn't want to buy an expensive upright vacuum with excessive power. The Mighty Mite works quite well sucking up dust and pet hair. A little more power might be nice for vacuuming my area rugs, but as long as I shake them out occasionally or wash them, I don't need more vacuum than this. The noise isn't too painful, either (some low-powered vacuums make that high-pitched whining noise that just makes you want to live in filth). The MM-sized bags can be a bit hard to find.

I bought this vacuum to replace its predecessor, a 20 year old Mighty Mite, which is falling to pieces but still works. The floor head on this new one is much easier to use- swivels very conveniently. It is higher-power, (better suction, but it blew a circuit the first time I used it), and the noise it makes is MUCH louder than the old one. The brush and fabric attachments have been combined into one very small one, whose shape does not allow it to get into crevasses in furniture. I'm using the attachments from the old one instead.

Pros:
1. Strong vacuum power. Excellent for my hardwood floor.
2. Good value - cost vs. performance.
3. Portable - fairly light.
Cons:
1. Vacuum bags are not popular, had to order them from on-line store.

I've never written a review for a vaccuum cleaner, and couldn't have imagined ever even wanting to, but am happy to put my voice out there for this one. If you have hardwood floors and are, like I was, tired of chasing after dust/dirt particles that your upright BLOWS around instead of sucking up, try this vac. It's powerful and makes quick work of what was, before, a major chore. I have sisal and dhurie wool rugs which neither of the uprights I've had before would do anything on, and this vaccuum works beautifully on both of those surfaces, as well. This is a fabulous product at a really fair price.

On a mission to find the perfect canister vacuum with above-floor dusting capabilities:

I swore I'd never own a Eureka vacuum cleaner ever again! I've had 3 that were miserable pieces of junk. However, the local vacuum cleaner store insisted that I examine the features before storming out of the store, so reluctantly I did. Not only was I surprised, I bought the thing, and it has replaced my less-than-a-year old Bosch because it's so much better.

I need a good canister vacuum for my hard floors AND I need it to do extensive "above the floor" vacuum dusting for table tops, lamps, blinds, upholstry etc. It needs to be strong enough to remove the fur of two German Shepherd Dogs as well as seeds & feathers from my African Gray Parrot.

The attachments that come with it are user-friendly -a crevice tool & a two-in one dusting brush / upholstry brush combo. I did purchase the better quality dusting brush as an acccessory. And, my Dyson power-head for fur removal from upholstry fits the wands perfectly. (Not so lucky with the Bosch I just gave away)

Suction is excellent. It's adjustable for vacuuming throw rugs. Wands simply pull apart -no tabs to lock together- which makes it faster when you want to add a brush. Wands are made of plastic rather than metal & I've found they attract dog fur through electrostatic energy. So, I gave them a spraying with "Static Guard" & voila - no more fur sticking to them!

This little guy maneuvers easily & is lightweight. It stores easily as well because of it's small size. Bags are small, but they hold an entire houseful of fur so I only have to change them after one cleaning. Some of the "bagless" vacs I've used required frequent emptying for the duration of household cleaning.

I didn't give this little guy 5 stars because it doesn't have an automatic cord rewind. I've been spoiled by my other vacs which had them. The cord is much longer than the one on the Bosch I just got rid of. It's long enough to enable me to do two rooms, however, it's cumbersome to wrap underneath the vacuum when done. That's the ONLY fault I have with this unit.

If you need a suction-only vacuum for hard floors with the ability to vacuum dust above them, this is the vacuum for you. It's an amazing little vac without all the expensive frills of higher priced units and does an amazing job for a tiny price tag. I think I'm going to keep this one around for a LOOOOOONG time.

We purchased out mighty might when we first married ten years ago. Since then this vacuum has taken care of cobwebs, hardwood floors and everything in between. The vacuum has more than payed for itself. Despite several moves, falls and children- the vacuum still works. We are replacing it now because numerous falls have taken it's wheels and children yanking the cord from the wall have loosened the wires but it still works. Why isn't it available. A+ for the mm vacuum, they have our lifelong business.

I grew up in a house of constantly breaking vacuum cleaners (Hoover, Kenmore, Dirt Devil...) which is why I love the Mighty Mite so much. It is a basic no-frills vacuum, with no extra moving parts or rotating heads that break or overload the system, and it works. This unit is basically a poor-mans Miele vacuum. The ONLY problem I have had is that the hose can get bent and thus suck into itself. This has only started to happen (after 4 years) and some duct tape around the soft part of the hose has solved the problem. Anyway, the vacuum suction is strong, the unit is small, and it is a super basic, almost industrial vacuum.
