Summary: Eureka is the best!
Comment: Vacuum has great suction power. It is easy to switch from carpet to bare floor to use without the brush roller, and easy to switch to use hose attachments. Filtering and bags all seems to work great. I am very please with this vacuum's ability to pick up everything in its path on the first pass.

Summary: Best Vacuum I've Owned!
Comment: Granted, I've never spent much on vacuums, but I've liked this one the best of all the ones I've ever owned. After buying two vacuums who failed to pick up the hair that my retriever sheds everywhere, I bought this one based on the reviews I saw here. With this vacuum, pet hair pickup was no problem. I like all the different floor settings and attachments as well. For those who want to buy an expensive-type vacuum but can't afford it, you might try this vacuum.

Summary: Best Vac I've Owned
Comment: This vacuum cleans much better than the cheapo $50 unit I bought a few years ago. Only downside so far is the foot lever/button that releases it from the vertical position. It's really tight and may be a potential point of failure. Hope not...

Summary: I LOVE this vacuum!!!
Comment: I bought this vacuum after a lot of research. It had a good ratings regarding suction, which was very important to me since my old vacuum had no suction whatsoever. The price was also right since I didn't want to spend too much. I liked the fact that it had a HEPA filter as well. Well this vacuum is amazing. It totally cleaned my carpets and area rugs and made them look brand new! I amnot sure why some people are having trouble with the lever. Yes, you do have to have shoes on to do it but it is not that hard to do. The trick is not to pull it towards you but away from the vacuum towards the side. And if you push the lever twice you can get the vacuum totally parallel to the floor for getting under the bed, etc. Also, it is not that heavy. I mean it has a pretty powerful motor so you can't expect it to be feather-weight, but I am a pretty small person and I really did not have any problems taking it upstairs. It was lighter than I expected after the reading the reviews. All in all this is a great vacuum that does the job for a good price!

Summary: A great value!
Comment: I've had this vacuum for only a month and am extremely happy with it, so far. I have multiple animals and the suction is great - it is almost like having a self-propelled machine. I find it to be fairly quiet and not especially heavy (compared to my previous vacuum). Assembly was a breeze. The tools fit well on board and never fall out. I like the long power cord so I don't have to unplug constantly. Moving the suction from floor to hose is a snap with the large knob that is easy to reach. I also like that I can turn the roller brush completely off so, when doing bare floors, the dirt isn't kicked back by the brush. My only complaints (minor) are: (1) the hose should be longer or easier to stretch out full length, and (2) the bare floor switch is a little hard to click into place.

I wound up purchasing this vacuum when my Dyson Animal broke (the month after the 3 year warranty expired, of course). The Dyson repair tech quoted me $160 for the repair so I decided to purchase the Eureka instead. It had gotten good reviews and there was a 'special' on Amazon bringing the price (with free shipping) down to under $115.00 - less than the repair cost on my Dyson.

I've come to realize that I like bagged vacuums better than bagless. I initially wanted bagless because I thought it would be easy to clean and I could save on the cost of bags. However, emptying the dirt cup on the Dyson always involved getting dust in the air. I finally got around that problem by taking an empty plastic garbage bag and holding it closed around my wrist while I emptied the cup and then waiting until the dust settled. Plus, the cup needed constant emptying (the cup would be full after 1 or 2 rooms). Changing a bag on the Eureka every 1-2 months seems a lot easier and without the dust in the air. I've found replacement HEPA bags for $2.00 each so the cost is minimal.

I've given the Eureka 5-stars - I find it comparable, if not better, to the Dyson at less than a third of the cost.
