Increase Suction & Pickup Of This Gem!!!,
By Brain (Williams, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eureka 96 B Quick Up Upright Cordless Stick Vacuum (Kitchen)
Before I tell you how to increase the suction and pickup of this little gem I'll tell you I believe in taking advantage of return policies of Target, Walmart, Sears, etc. I have tried almost every cordless stick vac readily available even making side by side comparisons and the Eureka 96D is the best! Suction is only half the equation! The Black And Decker (most powerful stick vac) is sturdier and has about 50-70% more suction but it loses it because of bad head design on the floor. The Eureka (best head design of all) picks up all the cat sand even from the grooves in my wood floor! The most powerful sick vac (Black And Decker) couldn't do it! Great for hard floor and throw rugs! Remember, not a replacement for regular vac (unless you have all hard floor) but the best for light to medium work and in-between major vacuuming. Handle could be sturdier so don't "man-handle" it. Two batteries is best (15-25 minutes per charge). NOW, take the filter case off the vac and you'll see the hole where the suction fan is with the plastic grid in front (obstruction for safety). CUT THE PLASTIC GRID OUT thereby removing safety obstruction! Screw the safety! You just incresed fan speed and suction by 20-30%!!! I have 2 of these vacs and I compared the difference and was blown away! Literally! Now the cat sand is sucked in from the front and sides! You can feel AND SEE the difference!

The very best cordless stick vacuum,
By Fixup (North West Coast) - See all my reviews
I compared this to a Dirt Devil 14.4V (model # 083414). They offer similar suction (adequate) and battery life (15 minutes). The Eureka uses only 6V (i.e. more efficient motor and system) and can swap batteries. An extra battery is included in this EUK96DZ model (from my local Sears), all for $36, a better value than the DD (about $50). The DD can stand up by itself, very handy, while the Eureka is best to be used without its telescopic handle. If you'll clean multiple rooms at a time, go Eureka for you can swap batteries. If you need to clean in narrow areas such as cars and stairs, you also want to go Eureka for you can remove the long handle. This ends my search for the best cordless vacuums and what I end up is: An iRobot Roomba 530 for routine room cleaning ($250). A Shark SV736 for random spot cleaning and for cars and computers etc ($36). Optional Eureka EUK96DZ for even more convenience ($36). So convenient and much less noisy. Farewell to cords! As always, go to youtube to watch the video for better quality. A tip: when searching for a cordless vac, don't just look at the voltage. Higher voltage marking does not necessarily mean more suction, as is in this case: the Eureka uses only 6V, less than half of the 14.4V of DD! What rules is a good system design and good parts used in the product.

Compact, cordless, and actually works,
I was waiting to get this vacuum at Target because it was $39.99 but they never had it in stock - after going to 4 diff. Targets so I just ordered it online. I am so happy with it. I use it mainly to vacuum dog hair throughout our hardwood floor house and on the couches. I use the suction portion for the hardwood floors and then switch to "carpet" mode for the courches where the brushes roll and pick up the hair off our microsuede couch.
I'm surprised at how well the vacuum works, especially given that it's cordless. I mounted it on the side wall in our kitchen and it's a great daily/mid-week cleaner for our floors. Very light and easy to use. So much better than the Shark cordless that I had to return after it didn't work at all.
