Amazon.com Review
With its wide floor nozzle and electrostatic Spin Duster tool, the Eureka Litespeed upright can tackle cleaning jobs from deep shag carpet to delicate lampshades. The 12-amp vacuum features a generous 15-inch cleaning path for faster floor coverage and quicker cleaning. The floor nozzle, suitable for all kinds of carpet, adjusts with a dial to seven different heights and comes with a revolving brush roll to help remove dirt and groom carpet fibers. Completely bag-free, the LiteSpeed collects debris in a transparent cup using cyclonic technology to spin the dirt out of the intake air. When the cup is full, simply remove it from the machine and empty it--a task made easier by the integrated lid and handle. A pleated filter inside the cup catches dust, while the side-mounted HEPA filter traps 100 percent of common allergens and irritants. It requires replacement once or twice a year.
The LiteSpeed tackles above-floor cleaning with an anticlog hose and a collection of onboard attachments, including an extension tube, an extra-long crevice wand, and a dusting brush. A separate attachment with its own motorized brush roll is great for stairs and upholstery. The vacuum’s Spin Duster, stored in a side hatch, removes for delicate dusting jobs--once back in its case, it can be spun clean by the vacuum suction. Slightly bulkier than many other bagless models, the LiteSpeed does not fit easily under all furniture. It is easy to maneuver, however, thanks to its light weight and antitip design. Welcome features include a bright headlight, wide furniture guard, and carrying handle. It comes with a 30-foot power cord, quick-release cord hooks, and a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

5.0 out of 5 stars
And I thought I've BEEN vacuuming all these years!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eureka 5843AZ Litespeed Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
I spent a good 2 months analyzing all the vacuums available when my trusty Kenmore canister of 20 years started showing it's age. Basically, I was tired of having to replace the hose -which is now only available through the long process of ordering it as an outdated item. So, from inquiring through friends and reviewing the opinons on-line, I narrowed my choices down to either the Eureka Whirlwind Litespeed models, Hoover models, or Bissel. Eureka eventually won out mainly due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews on this site as well as Epinions.com. Even my dad encouraged me to consider Eureka. With an indoor cat, I really needed a good vacuum! My husand's allergies demanded no less!! So, off to Sears I went to see what they had in Eurekas - which wasn't much as I found out. Costco was just up the street and that's where I went next. Although the one I really wanted was not supplied there, the 5843AZ looked promising. I liked the duster included and thought it pretty neat that the machine even cleaned it after use!! Pulling out my cell phone, I called my husband and asked him to see what the reviews said. Only one reviewer and she gave it a two thumbs up! So, I decided that I was going to have to just bite the bullet and buy it! As soon as I arrived home, I went to work putting it together. Actually, my husband did the work - which wasn't much. I was impressed with how easy it was to assemble!!! Within minutes, I had it plugged in and vacuuming! WOW!!! And I thought all these years I had been vacuuming!! WRONG! I was totally amazed at the amount of crude picked up by this vacuum! Our rug was new in 1971, so there was quite a bit of build-up!! I went over the same area many times and continued to get stuff sucked up into the canister. Even that nifty tubo brush did a bang up job on my husband's lounge chair. Our cat, Buster, loves to sleep ontop of it just above where my husband's head would be! Obviously, it was a source of frustration all the way around because of the cat hair left behind! But, that little turbo brush got it all!!! Trust me, Eureka does not pay anyone to say these things!! I believe these reveiws, now, because I've experienced the results! I paid $129.99 plus tax for my wonderful vacuum ( I've only had it a day, but I can tell it's going to be a good unit!!). Bad thing, though, about buying it at Costco, there are so many great 'other' things to buy there and I have to say my Eureka was not the only item I left the store with!! But, that's another story!! :) As a side note re: Costco, they have the best customer relations re: items that don't live up to the hype, so I would encourage anyone looking for vacuums to try them first!! One thing that I was disappointed with is that this model does not have a washable HEPA filter. The one inside the canister is, though, so that's better than having none that are washable. I am going to inquire about the possibility of using the washable filter in place of the one that came with the unit. However, this little glitch has not dampended my enthusiasm for my new 'friend'!! Even my husband commented that he didn't smell any 'after burner' that he usually associates with vacuums! Another words, no dusty smells!!! HEPA really DOES work! :) I highly recommend this unit! Certainly ran circles around my Kenmore - which is now permanently retired!

Pet owner in Colorado,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eureka 5843AZ Litespeed Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
This vacuum is so AWESOME! My old vacuum broke about three weeks ago and I had been looking to replace it, then I saw this one on HGTV and it struck my interest, so I bought it. It arrived about a week ago. It is amazing how efficiently it sucks up pet hair and dirt. (My husband and I own 2 cats and a dog.) It does not mention that this vacuum is self propelled, but it does seem to pull itself forward. There is a tiny bit of resistance pulling it back toward you, but my house is so clean, and with a lot less effort, I did not care. This vacuum was so much quieter than my old self-propelled Hoover. After vacuuming, there is no "vacuum smell" left behind. Additionally, cleaning out the dust cup is very simple and not as messy as bagless vacuums usually are.The turbo nozzle is also fabulous. It diplays awesome suction power, but was gentle enough to vacuum a spot off my comforter where our dog had layed. The spin duster makes dusting around the house much easier and cleaner. The vacuum electrostatically charges it so that it picks up dust like a magnet. When the duster is full of dust, you slip it back in to its holder and the vacuum cleans it and recharges it for you! It is also very gentle and great for dusting delicate items. We live in a two story house, and this vacuum has a handle on the back side that makes carrying it up and down the stairs much easier. At 18 pounds, it's not too heavy either. After buying this vacuum and using it, I am shocked that I got it at such a cheap price. I will be recommending it to everyone!

makes cleaning fun!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Eureka 5843AZ Litespeed Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
Odd as that sounds, it is actually fun and easy to vacuum especially compared to the Hoover I just retired.It took two screws to put the handle on it. The Hoover I had took an engineering degree to put it together, LOL. As far as how it works! I couldn't be more happy! My vacuum bit the dust and it had been 2 days since I had vacuumed. So I expected it to pick up dog hair but I haven't been outside much...which brings in dirt. It filled the cup with dog hair...but what really surprised me is that there was almost an inch of dirt in the cup!... And it somehow lifts the fibers of the carpet which now looks soft and fluffy again. I have actually had fun going around and vacuuming each day to see how much dirt it would pick up, (it took a few passes to deep clean the old dirt from the carpets). By the way, I have carpet laid all over, but no pad under it so it had gotten quite squished down, but this vacuum has made it look soft again, (and lifted the fibers)! I can only imagine if I had pad...this vacuum would make it look new I bet. Also, it is so quiet I wasn't sure it was even working right. I bet I could carry on a conversation on the phone while vacuuming, (it is still a vacuum and does make noise...but so much quieter than my old one). Nice change from the jet airplane sound of the other one. So to those interested in a vacuum...two thumbs up to the Eureka Lightspeed Spin Duster. The Spin Duster is a fun bonus. I have a small problem with the spin duster in that it doesn't spin very much. But an easy solution to that is to lightly hold the handle so that it doesn't wabble. With this simple effort it spins like crazy and works awesome...much better than expected. It is so easy to use that instead of passing on cleaning the fan or the coils under the fridge, I just grab the duster and watch the dust 'jump' off of the fan blades and coil. Oh, and this has the full hepa filter system...so it actually smelled clean rather than the old one that smelled like I just shook out a rug in the house. A previous reviewer mentioned the difficulty in shaking out the filter in the dirt cup. I can see their point but I just hold the filter down a few inches into my kitchen trash can and hit it against the sides. The dirt seems to just fall off into the garbage but I do see a little bit go up in the air before dropping back down, but it is minimal if any. I suppose you could get around it if you had a handvac to run across the filter when you cleaned it. But I think they also have filters that you need to shake off. Either way, it doesn't seem to bother me to shake the filter off when everything else is so much easier and such a time saver on this vacuum. I look forward to using the turbo brush to clean the truck. I haven't actually used it yet but have 'tested' it. It is pretty amazing how much power it spins with, and I will try to update this review once I use it on the truck. It will be nice not to have to run to the car wash to vacuum. The hepa filter is not washable but I plan to upgrade to the washable filter in 6 months or so. The cord is 30 feet long so I was able to toss the old extension I used with the other one. An odd note. The hose is plenty long enough to reach just about anything, (plus there is the wand and an extension), but as soon as I put the tools on the hose, the suction draws the hose back...making it difficult to use. It also isn't what I would call light. But both of these points may not be a fair judgment sense I broke my neck in a car accident and have difficulty lifting or pulling on anything. Overall, I am not the type that likes to clean house but I like my house to be clean. The wide path on this really does cut down on the time it takes, the tools are easy, easy, easy to use. The spin duster has eliminated my procrastination to get those cob webs that I see occasionally on the ceiling. And it does an awesome job! I can't believe I thought I was getting my house clean before. I have recommended this vacuum to my family. UPDATE: One of the reasons I went with this model was the turbo brush attachment so that I could clean my new truck. As it turns out the suction is so strong that this vac did a great job without the brush. But the turbo brush is a huge (unexpected) help when cleaning small rugs, and furniture. I have had this vacuum for a while now, and love it as much as the day I first used it. Usually after a while of operating a new item I can think of something to improve on it...not so with this item. :o)
