5 Stars Love it!
I love mine so much that I gave this one as a wedding gift. Got an original ancestor to the Eureka, a Might Might (Mite?), back in the mid 80’s and it finally died of overwork and old age.
4 Stars Eureka Sanitaire
This canister vac is very powerful, and the canister is easy to carry. The attachment hose is pretty long, and the straight tube attachment is very nice, metal. It has the usual nozzle assortment, the main one (shown) has retractable hard bristles. One downside is the unit gets hot pretty quickly. Also, it is louder than I expected from the description. But I am very satisfied with its performance and glad I bought it, it works better than some much more expensive models I’ve tried.
5 Stars Great Vacuum!
I clean houses for a living and am constantly on a search for the perfect vacuum. While this vacuum will not tackle every job, it handles most.
Using this vacuum to dust furniture and upholstery is great. You can put it on the floor and roll it behind you, pick it up by the handle, or use the shoulder strap. The strap is excellent for cleaning stairs. I love the design of the wand, it feels a lot stronger than my previous oreck. On low pile carpet and area rugs, it does a pretty good job with the attachment it comes with. I purchased a carpet turbo head for mine, and now it does a really good job!
Unfortunately it won’t work very effectively on high pile carpet, so don’t throw away your upright just yet!
Maintenance for this vacuum is pretty simple. I use it to vacuum the exterior of itself, change bags frequently, wipe out the inside and clean the filter on a regular basis.
Overall, I couldn’t be more pleased with this model. All the parts are easy to locate online, which is important. The cord winding is a little annoying, but those retractable cords always seem to break anyway. The one thing I would change it the attachment storage. They are supposed to attach to the wand, but I find if you have the wand under a bed or furniture, you end up knocking the attachment storage off completely.
5 Stars Happy with vacuum
I had a eureka rally for over 20 years. The wheels came off but it still ran and was the best vacuum and I loved it, but to my dismay it finally died. I looked around for something to match the rally. This seemed like a close fit. It has good suction power, lightweight and it’s good on bare floors. Not so good on rugs, but I have an upright for that. The only concern for me was it seemed to get very hot, but I’ve been using it for over 3 months now and it has been fine.
1 Star Stay away
What a useless machine this is: It is sinister how cheaply made this model is, with a motor too powerful for the flimsy plastic container it houses. Although it sucks plastic bags and book jackets like a storm, it fails to remove lint from the floor. While vacuuming, it heated up the room so much so, that on a hot day, I couldn’t keep on working after only 5 minutes of it. But the worse was that the plug and outlet were so hot to the touch, that no doubt had I not came on time to unplug it, it might have started an electric fire. It went right back to where it came from leaving me the worse for shipping costs.
