5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent vac: mostly pros, with few cons,
By
This review is from: Eureka Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum. 437AZ (Kitchen)
We have four vacuum cleaners, and it's not because we're neat freaks. It's exactly the opposite. We keep hoping for the one vacuum that will clean our house with the least effort. Each succession of vacuum cleaner gets smaller and smaller, especially after we discovered we can pay our 5-year old 50 cents to clean the carpet. Between this and the Eureka "The Boss Superlite", they're our favorites. Here are some of the real pluses of the system, followed by the negatives:
PROS: Great suction, especially on fine dust Very lightweight, our kid (5 years old) can operate it Retractable handle makes it easy to carry around (we're short people) Retractable handle makes it easy to store Inexpensive CONS: The HEPA filter attracts dust very quickly and needs to be cleaned each time (is this a plus or a minus?) Anyhow, it's a messy job. The front face could be a fraction smaller to get under furniture better

Great for In-Between Fast Clean Ups,
By Rick "Rick" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eureka Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum. 437AZ (Kitchen)
Overall, it's a really good vac. I wouldn't use this for a whole house, but for a small upstairs or downstairs, or a two bedroom (or smaller) apartment.
The narrow cleaning path is great for going in between tight spaces w/o moving everything around. The 12 amp motor is powerful and has great suction for under $100. It is constructed pretty well, except for the cheap plastic wheels that feel flimsy and squeak right out of the box. As with ANY bagless vac, to keep suction strong at all times, you have to clean the filter every single time you use it (especially with pets). If you don't want to be bothered cleaning it every time, then be fair, dont buy this machine and don't give it poor ratings. Get a bagged vac ... or a maid. For those reviewers who say it died 3 or 4 times - it is not dieing. It is overheating because the filter is not clean. The filter needs to be cleaned every one or two uses, not when the dust bin fills up to the max. The reason it works again is because the motor cooled down. PROS: Powerful suction in Floor or Hose mode Easy to clean Long stretch hose Will not tip over when hose is stretched too far Replacement parts available on Eureka web-site Filter cleaning every 2 or 3 uses if secondary vac CONS: Hose feels flimsy when stretched to full-length Cleaning the filter is messy - do it outside Filter must be cleaned frequently if used as primary vac Front exhaust blows debris in front of cleaner - tilt down

4.0 out of 5 stars
Actually, this is the best vac among 3 vacuums I have.,
By gracesantacruz (Santa Cruz, CA United States) - See all my reviews Cons: Dirty and cumbersome to clean the filter, noisy I have 3 vacuum cleaners--large and heavy upright for carpet, cordless stick vac for picker-upper, and Eureka Optima for all-round cleaning. This has the best saction and versatility among all, and for the first time, I feel I can stop my pursuit of a good vac cleaner. After trying so many cleaners, I now have realistic expectation. Even a good vac has some shorcomings, and you need to know what your priority is. In this case, cleaning the waste bin and filter is very messy and cumbersome. Because Eureka Optima has very good saction, the filter catches so much fine dust very quickly. I need to dust if off almost everytime I vacuum, and it is not fun. However, for me, can-vacuum-anywhere versatility and light weight make up for it. I recommend Eureka Optima even if this dies on me within one year (which it does not yet). This is not a perfect cleaner, and there is not a perfect cleaner, but a great value for solid performance.
