I've had this vacuum for 6 months now and I really hate it! Poor suction power on bare floors, clogs easily, filter cup must be emptied each time you use it and it doesn't have edge cleaning. It spits dirt out the back instead of up into the vacuum and the power paw is worthless. Waste of my money!

That's right, this one's a winner. The price is right and the features are great. The paw picks up all the dog and cat hair. The dusting wand saves tons of time. Belive it or not, this makes cleaning 'kinda' fun.

We loved this for thick pile carpet--nothing better. But on wood floors it spits more dust around the room than it picks up.

I just bought this vacuum from my local Wal-Mart. I could not believe how powerful it is. It is a little heavy, but I am a small person and have not really found it all that hard to use. There is a review about the vacuum not staying together, and I have to say that if you buy it in a box you have to tighten 3 screws. Maybe that person missed that part. I thought it was easy to put together, and it seems to be very sturdy. When I vacuum along walls and furniture it sucks up dirt to the side and in front of it. It is awesome! I would definately recommend!

I know now! Believe me, I'd give it "zero" stars if possible. This is the cheapest piece of garbage I've ever owned! I had to duct tape the filter on because even the normal back and forth motion would make it pop off. After each room I have to take the hoses apart and un-jam it, if they haven't popped off before that. It spits out balls of carpet fiber instead of sucking it up.

Honestly there isn't one positive thing I can say about this hunk of junk! Don't buy it!

Recently divorcee with two golden retrievers needing new vacuum. I've had several brands and short of my 15 gallon shop vac, this one rocks! Sounds kinda dorky coming from a guy but I did the initial clean w/ an old eureka and then went over the same area and I was totally amazed at the junk that it picked up,. It has very strong suction and the power-paw thing works pretty good and even the little duster thing may help domesticate me!
First and foremost, make sure the hoses are attached very secure. These route the air flow and if they aren't put on right I can see how they cause an air loss.
It picked up all the dog hair w/o issue and the price at K-mart/139 was well worth it. Any product has respective failure rates but even eureka has good ratings w/ Consumer Reports. If you get a dud I'd retry and make sure It was put together correctly.
I'll probably buy a second one for my mom.

I bought this vacuum when my Windtunnel kept malfunctioning. I thought I would buy a nice cheap vacuum this time after investing in the more expensive Windtunnel. This vacuum is NOT for pet owners. The canister is small and fills up almost instantly. You need to empty it after every room and it is messy to empty. The filter clogs constantly. The attachments are clumsy and hard to use. My preteen son used it in his room and didn't realize the canister was full because it is hard to see in. When we emptied the canister it spilled everywhere. The vacuum is useless on hardwoods, and even on carpets it spits back hairballs.

Don't waste your money on this.

This Vac will meet your expectations. Its also rated a good buy from Good HouseKeeping. I pick this one up at a local Kmart. The suction is very good, you'll be surprised at the hair, dust and dirt it collects on carpets that look clean!

Besides having good suction the features I like is the brush will stop spinning when you lift the handle to its upright position to use the attachments and the switch at the top of the handle conveniently allows you to go from carpet to floor with out stopping. The PowerPaw works great you'll clean stairs and furniture with ease.

Not all HEPA systems work well. This bagless HEPA filtration system works extremely well, no loss on peformance here and you wont find yourself fumbling with the filters when you empty the dust cup.

The vacuum maybe a little heavy for some folks, but I find well made vacuums weigh around 22-25 pounds. Nevertheless its easy enough to use when running and does a great job on carpets and floors.

Having the opportunity to use a variety of vacuums, in my opinion this is the best bagless vacuum in this price range that performs just as well as the Hoover WindTunnel Ultra and the Oreck XL at half the price...

I bought this vacuum based on the many positive reviews I had read, and the suction was good. However, it was so cumbersome to use that the great suction didn't really matter to me. Because so many parts (like the handle, the dust attachment) are attached after you get the vacuum, they are constantly falling off, which makes it very difficult to use. Added to that, because the vacuum is heavy and there is so much suction it's difficult to use around tables and the edges of the room. And the attachments are basically useless.

So if you want a vacuum that will do a fabulous job for the center of your room, or for a room that doesn't have any furniture in it, this is the perfect vacuum. If not, then it isn't.

This is a terrible design for a vacuum, unless you do not generate any kind of dust, etc. It the bagless cup holds nothing and you are constantly emptying it. I tried to contact Eureka regarding the design of this vacuum and they never even responded.
