eureka WhirlWind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight Vac for Carpets and Hard Floors, Blue

Even though I have a Hoover upright (Wind Tunnel) for my flat carpeted floors, it needs a bag, its loud, it doesnt have good suction and definitely a hassle on carpeted stairs which I now have with a recent move. This little vacuum is perfect and the price is right also. Adjusts for use on hardwood floors. It is lightweight, maneuvers well, easy to clean and dump the dirt (no bag!!) The assembly is super quick and the suction is awesome. I would recommend for stairs but maybe not the whole carpeted house, just because it has such good suction it makes it slow going but it would be a great workout!

Took me a year to buy this again after 10 years of the old one. NOTE: they made changes to the hose size so your old attachments wont fit! I had just bought additional attachments for drapery fabric etc and wont work on this new sweetheart Vac. Great suction good enough quality few changes from there 10 year old model but still for the price I recommend it to anyone just does a great job good price and if you take care of it they last a long time.

This is the second time we’ve purchased this vacuum. We have 2 giant long haired dogs that shed all year long. This vacuum has handled their mess better than any other we’ve tried (and I’ve tried all the expensive name brands). It’s easy to clean and works great. I don’t have anything negative to say about the vacuum.

Updated Review: After struggling with this thing to vacuum my cellar two or three times, I replaced the broken hose on my Hoover and went back to using that on my cellar floor. This vacuum is just too much work for me to use, maintain, and store. Ive retired it to a corner, where it will sit until I can find another home for it. Original review: I bought this to replace my Hoover commercial portapower hand vacuum, the plastic stretch hose on which broke in two at the handle after three years of intermittent use. So, I decided to try something different. The hose on this does not stretch, a plus for me. Ive only used it once so far to vacuum my hardwoods, area rugs, and cement cellar floor. Will take some getting used to. The suction on this thing is phenomenal, due in part to the design of the floor attachment, which is flat and hugs the floor. I read the instructions and experimented with all the settings and combinations on both hardwoods and flat pile area rugs. It works well on my hardwoods using the carpet settings. The hardwood setting hugs the floor too tightly, making it difficult to move. The carpet setting works on no pile area rugs only if you pull the wand towards you. If you try to push it forward, it gets hung up on the carpet, regardless of how you use the settings. It does not work at all on my pile carpets. The hose is a bit cumbersome because its pretty stiff, but Im tall and I can work with it. So, I finished vacuuming and even though the dirt cup was only half full, I decided to empty and wash it. Unfortunately, the dirt cup does not separate from the foam filter housing (you can remove the foam filter, but not the housing), so to wash either one they both get wet. And, when I checked the foam filter, it was filthy and required washing as well. Very cumbersome to work with. Currently, the entire housing and filter are laying in front of my baseboard heater trying to dry. I got this to use on my cement cellar floors, and it appears to be fine for that using the carpet settings. Picks up cat litter, dust, and small debrs. There is a small brush for upholstery, but no decent crevice tool, which I need to clean my dryer screen housing and vents. I do like the retractable cord and that the wand attaches to the machine for storage. I also like that it has wheels and I can easily pull the vacuum behind me. Ill use it for a bit and see if I can work with its shortcomings. I like to keep my vacuum dirt cup clean with each using. Not sure how well that will go because cleaning and drying is a time eater and I have no sink in my basement. Just not a good fit for me.

Excellent for the price. Pros: Cleans as well as the overpriced Dyson it replaces. Light, easy to maneuver, with nice feature of building the small brush attachments into the handle so you never have to find them or lose them. Brilliant! Bagless canister very easy and quick to empty, and less messy than the dead Dyson. Cons: -3 point wheel base makes it easy to tip over with normal motions. Good news is it doesnt shut off when that happens. - The toggle for floor/carpet is convenient on top of floor attachment, but sticks up in floor mode, making it get stuck under sofas and furniture. Very annoying when you try to vacuum UNDER things. Easy redesign to fix by making a sliding toggle instead of seesaw design - The nice retractable self winding cord is much shorter than expected, which limits the reach. I have to reposition plug 5 times to do one level of house, when the previous vacuum only needed two times. Easy and cheap fix for Eureka..should be a recall.

Perfect little vacuum for my son. He has a 1,400 sq ft place w/minimum carpeting; at least 98% LVP. This vacuum is perfect for him. Light, easy to use and maneuver with ease, not at all loud like some. Love the washable filter and ease of emptying collection canister! Great suction as well, more then I thought it would have. Has a place on the back to store the detachable wand. Genius how the handle has the little brush built in to vacuum upholstery and small jobs, slide it back up to attach the wand again. No parts to lose. Auto retract cord works great. Love how it can be pulled around on wheels or light weight enough to be picked up as you go along. Rake setting for rugs works well. No power brushes on head, but perfect for his needs. Great value! Speedy delivery.

Purchased to clean Persian-style carpets in home, its a great little machine! I have tile floors so no need of a hefty vacuum, and this provided the suction and portability needed to clean the carpets. It also did a great job on the car interior, carpets and upholstery. Used it to help clean up the vents also. The cannister is small, so its not for everyone, but for area cleaning, its perfect. Its very light, nearly anyone can handle it.
