Product Description

Amazon.com Review

UL listed for commercial use, the Eureka C5712 is one tough customer. Powerful enough to suction up the biggest messes and rugged enough for daily use, it's equally suited to commercial or heavy-duty residential use. The C5712 also features true HEPA filtration--that is, sealed HEPA filtration, which not only captures 99.97% of dust and allergens bigger than .3 microns in size, but also filters the vacuum's exhaust so those allergens aren't spewed back into the air. Instead, dust and dirt are trapped in a bag inside a hard plastic bin, making this model much more suitable than bagless-type machines for allergy and asthma sufferers, multi-pet environments, or anyone who cares about clean indoor air. In addition to its strong suction, pleasantly quiet operation, and durable construction, the C5712 features a bright headlight for low-light situations or cleaning under furniture as well as an extra-wide, clog-resistant air path. Its 40-foot power cord can clean several large rooms at a time before needing to be un- and re-plugged, and the included stretch hose extends up to three times its original length to further extend your cleaning reach. (Both hose and included onboard tools store conveniently on the machine.) The unit's compact measurements (12 by 13 inches at the base, 44 inches tall) mean a narrow nozzle, but what the C5712 loses in cleaning path width it makes up for in maneuverability--and at 17 pounds, it's lighter and easier to push than most machines in this class. The Eureka C5712 comes backed by a one-year limited warranty. --Mary Park

I live with four long haired dogs, and have found most vacuums to be less than adequate. I bought the Eureka C5712 a few months ago and have been VERY happy with it. It is powerful, light for its size, and has great suction. I have gone through many vacuums, and I like this one the best. It has no headlight on it, which I found distracting more than anything else.

I have been looking for a replacement for my Bissel that was terrible. Always had Eurekas before and decided to look at them again. I wanted a bagged vacuum. I looked at the Eureka home vacs, not quite what I wanted. Then I looked at the commercial vacs and most of them although very powerful, didn't come with any attachments at all.

Then I saw the Eureka C5712A.

PROS: Commercial suction power but with all the attributes and attachments one would use at home. The only difference is they actually work!! The suction power from the hoses and attachments is similar to a shop vac. I love this machine! It's well made, simple construction, basic maintenance, takes bags, and it's 50% quieter than the Bissel. It also cleans bare floors.

CONS: Inside parts mostly plastic but simple and sturdy. Not very attractive.

I tried several high end name brand vacuums and all were a disappointment! This vacuum is amazing. I have very plush hard to clean carpets and they have never been cleaner.

The vacuum is a bit heavy and harder to push than others I tried, however you need not run it over the same spot more than once. I vacuum more often now (hard to imagine I know).

The "shock" in the handle as one reviewer mentions, I think is static. Try setting your carpet-pile dial a bit higher. Every vacuum I've had worth its salt has given me static shocks when vacuuming. I think it is the plush carpet and the beaters.

I hate bag-less vacuums, so this bagged model is great for me. I don't need to see the dirt again thanks! I ordered vacuum bags on line in bulk for a better price-didn't see the bags in my local dept. stores.

This vacuum was half the price of the one I replaced and 10 times the vacuum!
