I opened this vacuum cleaner and used it for less than 10 min when engine stoped due to overheating. I was unable to put it back to work for at least 30 min after this, so i had to wait untill it cools off. While unit was running i sensed a smell of the birned plastic so i turned it off and send it back.

It's not for carpet. Don't even think about getting this to solve a dog hair problem unless you have hard floors only. However, for those pesky little corner jobs, window sills, light fixtures, inside drawers, it can't be beat. Very light weight but lots of sucking power. Here are some of the things it has taken care of:

1. Dead oriental lady bugs (the biting kind) in the window sill

2. Cobwebs and general ickiness from the track of the sliding door

3. a jar of little screws I knocked over and didn't have time to pick up by hand before company was arriving.

4. Cat litter (excellent job on this)

5. Dog food

This little vacuum and a good upright model should take care of most of your vacuuming needs.

Lightweight, passable suction, but doesn't really get the stuff out of the rugs like my hoover.... the worst part about this machine is that it really gets hot, really quickly. I'm not sure why, but it gets so hot I shut it off 2 or 3 times while I'm using it to let it cool down. Also, there's a filter that's a pain to clean. But the vacuum was [inexpensive]. I guess you get what you pay for.

Impossible to get replacement parts or contact by email. If you call the 800 number plan on a long, long wait...that is if you can even get anything other than a busy signal. I never did get to talk to anyone even after a 30 minute wait on several occasions.

The vacuum has ok power when dust cup is empty but very quickly lacks suction. There are much much better vacuums out there in the same price range but made by other companies. If you look through consumer complaint websites you will see that Euro-Pro has definate customer service problems.

THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE, IT HAS NO POWER AT ALL, AND GETS HOT REALLY FAST, IT'S OK FOR SMALL PLACES OR FAST PICK-UPS, BUT IT DOESN'T DO THE JOB I NEED DONE IN MY HOUSE, ANOTHER THING TO STORE IN THE SHED

I purchased these items through the t.v. specials. Very nicely priced and perfect for my space and cleaning needs. BIG PROBLEM:
The first one died on me after five uses doing minor cleaning - mostly cleaning stairs and cleaning out my car. I only had it about almost a year. It overheated, shut off and died on me. I started using the other one that I used for upstairs which had more use - light rug cleaning and use to suck out air out the travel and storage packing bags. That one also overheated, and shut off. No resusitation. Perfect little easily manageable and effective vaccums , but for.....I want these repaired at least, but found it difficult to get contact information to see if this can be done. After this investment of hard earned cash and with now "surplus hoses, brushes, etc.", which I will E-BAY. I won't buy another of these. I am seriously considering a small Eureka or Miele portable after this experience. My slightly larger compact Eureka from my apartment days lasted five years. I still have it but it has lost most of the suction power. But at least I got my my money's worth. It was seventy dollars at the time. FRUSTRATING!

As advertised, this vacuum has fairly good suction. However, since there is no agitator it doesn't work well at all on carpets. It does do a pretty decent job on floors though.

I purchased it to use in an apartment I had to live for a long-term work project so I was looking for something inexpensive. This fit the bill. When I get back to the house I think this will make an excellent car vacuum.

As mentioned by the other reviewers, it does get very hot but it hasn't shut itself off on me...yet.

I purchased this machine from another company. It worked wonderfully....for about a week. I also purchased an overpriced powered capret attachment from the company (which never worked).

The end result is over $200 spent and a vacuum that is absolutely useless.

I live in an apartment with low pile carpets and tile floors. Presently, I cannot even pick up a piece of lint if I get on my hands and knees and place the hose directly on the carpet.

Forget trying to pick up cat hair....it cannot maintain any suction whatsoever.

Purchasing a vacuum is confusing and the reviews often contradict one another, but I can tell you that if this company was the last one on earth that manufactured vacuums, I would buy a lint roller first. The lint roller would collect more!

You have been warned!

I love this thing! I throw it over my shoulder and head down the stairs and continue from the carpeted areas to the hard wood floors without having to switch anything. My old Hoover (an upright) was great, but it was so bulky when it came to vacuuming the carpeted stairs. This is not bulky and there are no bags to worry about!

This will be the second one of these I'm purchasing. I purchased this 5 years ago and it does a great job. While it does over heat occasionally, I've never had any other problems and it cleans my bare floors great! The only reason I'm bying another one is b\c I dropped it down concrete steps and cracked the canister.
