| I baught this vaccume to do the stairs in my home. Well I have to say this is the best hanheld I've ever owned. It has an amazing amount of suction for such a small and light weight unit. The beater bar wrks well for loosening up deep down soil in your carpet.br /I have also used this for Cleaning out the cars and the removable whip hose really comes in handy for getting in between the seats and under them as well.br /For the money it was a great investment. |

| This thing sucks!!!!!! It has alot of power and I was so impressed the minute I plugged it in. I have cats and the fur can really get imbedded in carpet, well no longer, with this Eureka hand held I can clean down to the very bottom of the rug. It really does the job. Not disappointed one bit, in fact my family will be getting one for the holidays. It does a fabulous job for the car too.... |

| If you have a cat, buy this vacuum. I was shocked at the amount of fur, unseen by me, that this thing picked up off of my stairs and couch. It seems very powerful and the rotating brush seems to really help with picking up fur. If you are looking for something light and more convenient, go with a chargeable hand held, but if you are looking for something heavy duty that really performs - get this. |

 "Great power and performance for pet fur, don't go cordless!" | 2008-09-18 |

Problem: We've got 2 American Eskimos. Google that and you'll see what we're dealing with here. We have a 2-story house with 2 sets of carpeted stairs. I've got a great upright vacuum, the only problem is that it is heavy and a real hassle to carry. We have a hand held vacuum (the kone) which does nothing for fur on carpet.
What we were looking for: light weight with great suction, motorized brush, and enough life to handle 2 stairwells. We knew we needed to get a corded vacuum, as most reviews for cordless complain about short battery life. I had a B&D and a Kone, both of which are dead because the battery won't charge. We didn't want an air powered brush system (some vacuums use the flow of air to turn the brush), we needed something heavy duty.
Pros:
1. Light weight: I did both stairwells without a problem.
2. Motorized brush: I had to empty this thing 6 times because it pulled up so much dog fur. BTW, from the pictures, it looks like there are only 3 rows of brushes. However, the bristles spiral around the brush head, so in reality every inch is covered. They only look like rows in the picture.
3. Suction: I've read that this has the suction of uprights. I don't think it comes anywhere close to my upright, but for a hand held vac, I think the suction is great. And since it is corded, I don't have to worry about how long the battery will last.
4. Crevice tool: No matter how tight any vacuum will reach its corners, I think a crevice too is necessary. I like how it is so convenient.
Cons:
1. The canister is a bit small. Since we have so much fur to deal with, we had to empty it several times. I wouldn't mind it being bigger, or even having a bag system.
2. After using it for about 15 minutes, I started to smell that electrical burn smell that some vacuums have. I really don't know what that means. I kept using it anyway, and it never let up on suction.
Plus or minus:
1. Riser visor: I don't think it adds anything to its function. I think it is actually awkward, so it wouldn't be any more awkward to turn the whole vacuum vertical to do the same thing.
2. Hose for crevice tool: it's a bit short and can be awkward to use. However, a longer hose may be annoying. I don't mind it for what I use it for.
Conclusion: if you need a small vac to get fur off of furniture and stairs, this is the one to get. Don't buy in to the lure of the cordless vac, unless you're getting the vac for minor spills and messes. You don't have the same power or longevity. The cordless vacs I've had in the past don't compare, even at peak performance to the Eureka's suction AND motorized bristle to pick up that fur. |

| I recently purchased this vacuum and was very pleased with it. When I got out my users guide to see how to clean the filter, I noticed that a crevice tool was supposed to be included, but wasn't. I called Eureka and explained the situation. At first, they agreed to send me one...for $3, plus $7.50 shipping. I don't think so. After a couple minutes, the customer service rep agreed to send one for free. |

| "Best handheld I have tried. Almost perfect." | 2008-09-18 |

| This Eureka handheld vaccuum does exactly what it is supposed to do, and it does it very well. It definitely works better than most or perhaps even all of its competition. The unit is sturdy, well thought out, and it is fairly compact considering that it has an onboard powerhead and a hose attachment. The electric cord is nice and long. Unfortunately the hose attachment is mostly too short to be really practical, as others have mentioned, and the unit is a little on the heavy side , esp for smallish persons, like me ( I also have trouble lifting it above my midline due to shoulder bursitis). Still i would not trade this handheld vaccuum for another brand - I have tried too many others that were noisy, weak, fragile, etc. Anyone who rates this one with 1 star must have been using it NOT for its intended purpose, or was expecting the moon and the stars, eg the person who has 16 cats.. the man trying to use it as a shop vac..etc...I personally know a full-time house-cleaning lady who owns one of these and uses it constantly for her business and swears by it. Get one. |

| This is a very handy little hand vac. Nice suction and can be used easily with small attachments used for cleaning electronics. It gets into small places wonderfully. Great for cleaning crevices and corners and cobwebs. Just wish the hose was a little longer. The electric cord is nice and long. |
