Summary: Best vacuum you can buy
Comment: I just purchased this machine and used it at home immediately. The assembly was very simple. I had vacuumed my carpet earlier with my old cleaner. After I used my new Eureka, I couldn't believe it. It picked up so much dirt, and pet hair. The extension wands are great, and the True HEPA filter works great. The machine glides across the carpet due to the self propulsion feature. Plus, Consumer Reports magazine had this machine rated higher than any other vacuum they reviewed. I would definitely recommend this vacuum to anyone who is in the market for a new vacuum cleaner.

Summary: Outstanding Unit
Comment: I got this vacuum as a gift, and it's great! I got all my tools to put the thing together, and I had an hour while dinner cooked.

Well, I opened the box and found out assembly includes taking it out of the box and inserting one screw! I put it together, vacuumed the whole house and my truck, and still had time before the food was done. I had just vacuumed 2 days before with my old one, and this thing picked up more dirt than I could believe.

Don't leave it sit on the carpet when doing the stairs though, the machine will continue to spin.

Attachments are good, and well placed on the machine. Hose stretches well to a long length. Self-propelled feature makes this really heavy vacuum feel like a pushbroom.

Summary: Super Sucker Upper !
Comment: I bought this for my sister as a house warming gift. She has 2 kids and 2 large dogs. We were amazed and embarrassed to see how much dog hair and DIRT it pulled from the carpet and could not believe that her family had walked around her floors with all of this filth in it previously! I quickly borrowed it to really "clean" my house and my sister stole it back right away saying she can't live without it. The negatives? - it is a bit heavy but hey, Eureka realized that and made it self-propelled. Surprisingly, this model is very quiet for it's size. This machine is worth the money if you want a clean house. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: Off to a bumpy start!
Comment: My vacuum finally arrived! (It took a month from the time I placed the order and the box looked pretty beat up from shipping.) It came out of the box, and with one screw it was ready to go! But wait! Isn't this supposed to be self-propelled? I can already tell from the dirt cup accumulation that this vacuum will do a great job, but I'm going to have a right arm like Popeye after he eats his spinach if I have to push this thing! So... I call the Eureka hot-line... "do this, do that... I'm sorry but it looks like you'll need service on the machine" NO! I decided to take a quick look "under the hood" and saw the cable that was in the handle extending into an ominous black box. Two screws...can't hurt to look (with the machine unplugged, of course), so I pop off the cover and, alas, the snap-on cable connection to the power supply is dangling. It must have come loose in shipping! THAT'S IT! The vacuum works just fine now! And yes, this is THE BEST vacuum I ever owned! Talk about instant gratification -- the see through dirt cup tells you how much your efforts are paying off. Even my college age son has taken to vacuuming his room! (He was determined to make the dirt sensor light go off!) Even after a bumpy start and a considerable wait for delivery, it was all worth it! This is an EXCELLENT product and a real deal from Amazon! If you need a vacuum, I say GO FOR IT!

Summary: Strong Vacuum!
Comment: I bought this vacuum for as a gift for my wife (she asked for a new vacuum) and she loves it. The amount of dirt and cat hair it picked up was quite impressive. The dirty floor light is interesting, and seems to be correct. It's not hard to learn to use the self propelled feature, actually its very easy to use and easy to empty the dirt cup.
