Pros
Has pretty good suction when all of the filters are clean
Cons
The roller is easy to clog and brake. Roller motor too small and under powered.

The Bottom Line:
Inferior construction and low reliability are mated with a poor warranty. Roller failure and constant filter maintenance make this an all around bad appliance.
Looked good out of the box with the yellow on black color scheme. It was easy to spot in the back of the closet, and will be easy to spot by Waste Management when they come collect the rest of the garbage. The useless dusting wand is not secure to the unit. Conceptually it was an attractive feature, but turned out to be a hindrance when maneuvering around furniture and tends to catch on things. Without a tight seal around the wand, the unit looses suction. Plastic parts will not hold securely to their attachment points without fear of breaking one or the other.
It takes as much time to keep the filters clean as it does to actually sweep the floor. Although the larger side filter is easy to inspect, the more crucial smaller filter above the waste bucket must be removed to check. The small rubber filter gets clogged easily and must cleaned regularly or the performance is affected.
The plastic housing utilizes six screws to secure the wide track top to bottom. The plastic posts are easy to strip. As often as the roller needs to be cleaned, one would expect metal connections or at least metal inserts inside the plastic posts. Within four months the roller burned out and it is not covered by warranty. Months later after replacing the roller, the roller motor quit functioning. Without the roller turning, it is too hard to push the unit and is ineffective with suction alone.
It will cost as much to repair this Eureka as it will to purchase a new unit.
