If you're looking for something to quickly clean hard floor surfaces without lugging out your big vacuum, this is great. Does not work well on carpets, so don't buy it if that's what you're looking for. Dust cup is easy to empty. The cord isn't super long, but that's what extension cords are made for if you're doing a large floor. see less

I love this little vac for quick and easy clean-up of my hardwood floors and stairs. It's lightweight, manageable & very easy to store. Suction on hardwood & tile is perfect - collects dust, dirt & crumbs like magic! The telescopic handle collapses at the touch of a button, creating the ideal size for cleaning stairs. The canister is easy to open, empty and close. The cord is shorter than I like so I added an extension cord - problem solved. This vacuum does not perform well on carpet. It is great on small thin area rugs and fringe and even upholstery. Another vacuum would be needed for thickly carpeted rooms. If you're looking for a vac to do it all, keep looking. This vacuum's strength lies in its ability to quickly and easily clean hardwood & tile surfaces. A great alternative to the broom, dustpan and brush! see less

This is my 3rd one. I keep one on each level of my home. Great for bathrooms and kitchen. Okay for carpet if your carpet is short, but I use a regular sized vac for carpet. I have given these as gifts over the years and received good reviews from friends as well. I use mine everyday! see less

I have had one of these for at least 10 years. It has always worked great, and I have never had to do any repairs. The only thing I have done is maybe change the brushes every so often for optimal cleaning. My son has used it a lot also, and both of us have dogs, so lots of dog hair. I have loaned it out several times as well. I definitely recommend it!!! see less

This carpet cleaner did a great job. With dogs and kids, it helped with messes. For some reason it stopped suctioning the water. The repair person is in Long Beach, so with gas prices, the time to take it in, and the cost of repair, I'm throwing it out and getting another one. I'm trying another brand, and will keeep you postesd see less

My sister and I bought this product on sale for our mom. She said it did wonders in her house, so I tried it in mine. Being a college student with three roommates and two dogs, our carpets were DISGUSTING. We just went over the hallway once with the cleaner and my carpet is nearly white again. Sure there's not a thousand crazy attachments, but it does the job it's supposed to do and for way less money than the other cleaners I looked at. I don't know what these other people are talking about, this machine hasn't been a problem at all. I'm going to buy myself one. see less

I have had only Kirby Sweepers for 40 years...I needed an extra sweeper for the upstairs and decided to try Eureka... Needless to say it picked stuff out of our area rug that we thought was quite clean... I told my daughter about it and she wanted to borrow it...she called everytime she emptied the canister...she was very impressed also.. I would rate this vacuum 5 stars.. see less

I bought this vacuum for my one bedroom apartment. I have severe allergies so I need a vacuum that will get all the dirt the first time around. I love this vacuum. When I saw on the box that it said it worked as good as a [...] I was skeptical. I used a [...] for years at my parents house and liked it for the most part. However, being on the right out of college budget a [...] was out of the price range. After reading reviews and looking at the features at the store I finally settled on this one. It works great! Unlike the [...] that my parents have I can fit under my nightstands and end tables due to the smaller base of the vacuum which saves me a ton of time moving things to clean around them. The carpet was brand new so I had a ton of fuzzy's in the first vacuum and it did not loose suction or clog this vacuum once, this happened with my parents [...] after every room when they got new carpet. Had it for a week used it twice and no complaints. see less

Well, I couldn't afford to get a [...], even though it was what I have been wanting for years. So I got a Eureka Zuum which says it "cleans better than a [...]" and was only [$] at Target. I am pretty impressed! I just vacuumed our living room yesterday with our old vacuum, and the new vacuum just picked up enough dirt and hair to fill the canister. It also cleans against the baseboards, which our old vacuum did not do. I have 3 dogs, and we have foster dogs, and 2 small children, so I need something with some power. As long as it holds up over time, I highly recommend it. see less

Hey, it's small, lightweight and it's meant for quicky jobs. For this purpose, it's AWESOME! I do wish it had a longer power cord, and a longer hose to for hard to reach clean-ups but other than that, it does a LOT better job than my huge and heavy supposedly-better-than-DD brand. [...]! I totally appreciate the HEPA filter, which is easy to get to for replacement purposes. Everything is easy to operate on this little thing, it even comes apart to clean out that nasty dust that stays on the canister. It makes me feel good knowing how much nastiness I'm throwing away each time I empty it. I love it. see less

Not sure why 99 percent of the people here are having problems with this vacuum. Maybe I haven't used it that long yet? Anyways.It works great for me, seriously. First time I used it I was VERY impressed. I like it and I hope it stays that way for at least another year! MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE FILTER CLEAN! don't you be lazy and then complaint that it doesn't work!!! see less

Message to people who give this product poor ratings CLEAN THE FILTERS just because it is bagless does not mean you empty cup and go on. If i smells like burning rubber clean the hair off your rollers ,hair is incredibly strong stopping roller from spinning burning your belt up. These problems will happen to the most expensive vacuums.Take care of your equipment! see less

Perfect for small rooms......packs great suction for a smaller vac! see less

I was very displeased with my "big" upright vacuum cleaner. I've had it for just over a year and it seems to have no suction power at all! So, I decided to buy a smaller, less expensive vacuum and see how it works. I found this one, read the reviews on it, and bought it. Now, this isn't the one I was going to the store to get, but the other one was sold out and I needed one today. This one had good reviews, so I bought it. Came home, put it together VERY easily, and started to use it. I was BLOWN AWAY by the suction power!! This vacuum picked up so much dirt that my other vacuum had missed!! It was unbelievable!! I LOVE this little machine!! Best purchase I have made for my home for vacuuming... works better than any I have bought in 3 years! Highly recommend it if you have high traffic areas and want a great cleaner!! see less

I just purchased this vacuum and used it once and I am in love!!!! Our previous Eureka, lasted 12 years and this is the main reason I stuck with this brand!! It is super easy to put together and numerous copies of step by step instructions. Lots of attachments and it has good power. I would highly suggest this vacuum!! see less

I have had this vacuum fo ... see more

I have had this vacuum for over a year and I still love it! The suction is so strong that it sometimes pulls the carpet up off the padding a little bit! Seriously, you don't have to vacuum over the same spot multiple times - once is sufficient, two is more than enough! I have cats and sometimes they track litter near my laundry room door onto the carpet - this red magic machine gets it up easily. And getting their hair off the couch and loveseat is a snap with the pet paw attachment. At first, the foot release thingy that allowed the handle to flex downward during use was stiff, but it has loosened up over time. I have absolutely no complaints and am a raving fan. My only note of caution is that, since the suction is so strong, older users with arthritis or younger users with tendonitis may have a bit of a struggle. When pulling it backwards towards you, you gave to put some muscle into it. But that's because it's doing its job so well. Highly recommend! see less

So happy with this purchase. It wasn't hard to assemble, has lots of attachments/options for settings, and gets all my cat hair! It works as well as my mom's [...], which cost a LOT more. see less

I found this vacuum to have a lot of power and more convenience than I expected from a bag model. The long hose and cord mean I don't have to stop and unplug multiple times and the attachments are more than just eye candy - really functional! HEPA filter is a plus and I expect to get years of use out of this machine. see less

The second time I used this vacuum, the stair attachment wouldn't work. I was able to use the one from my old vacuum. The next time I tried to use this, the hose kept coming out of the tube for the attachments. [...............................] Other than these two issues that came up the second and third times I tried to use this, The attachment hose is hard to use. It's too stiff and fights you constantly. The stair and upholstery brush attaches with a magnet and repeatedly falls off, plus it has an odd shape that's hard to hold. It's tapered in a way that it slips out of your hand. Very dissatisfied see less

[...] I wanted to stick with Eureka, however when we purchased this one It sounded like an airplane.....Very very loud and the suction was not very strong after going over and over an area it still did not pick up. With in about a month it started smoking and we had to return it. see less
