Wasted Money

byrshiroma May 27, 2007
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Easy storage, cheap
Cons Hard to push on carpets, cleaning nightmare, exhaust location and a wily power cord.
Recommended it? No

We purchased this vacuum for its small size and apparent power but in actual use, it turned out to be one of the worst ones we bought.

First, if you have specialty carpets like berbers or thick cut pile, this supposedly lightweight machine was a hassle to push forward. It felt like it had... Read full review »

Very good vacuum for it's purpose and price

bybookbabe Apr 4, 2006
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Suction. Light weight, easy to tote up stairs. Small, convenient to store. Comfortable...
Cons Louder than expected. A bit time-consuming to clean filter thoroughly.
Recommended it? Yes

I love this vacuum.

First of all, I love it's light weight, and how powerful it is for it's size. The handle is, well, handy, very comfortable to use, and I have problems with repetitive motion and grip on my right-hand side. The switches, canister-release and such are all easy to use; I... Read full review »

Lightweight, with a heavy punch

Pros Value, Suction, ease of use, lightweight, comfortable and extensible handle
Cons A bit noisy, blows some dust away from intake
Recommended it? Yes

We've used the Eureka Optima for two months now, and we are quite pleased with our purchase. Main strengths are it's attractive price (55$), low weight, ergonomic design and good suction power. Main drawbacks are the noise, the odd placement of the "suction switch" (the one that makes the suction... Read full review »

My Green Monster
I bought the Eureka 431A Optima Bagless Upright Vacuum at Costco last year. Priced at $48, it was the cheapest vacuum available at the store. I had just moved into an apartment with thick carpet in the bedroom and needed a powerful vacuum. The word "lightweight" also caught my... Read full review »

This doesn't suck!!!

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Cleaned hardwood floors
Cons Does not pick up dust, pet hair, or fuzz
Recommended it? No

Well I wish I could say this vacuum sucks, but it doesn't! I have a dog and this vacuum does not pick up dog hair very well. I have black carpet and black and tan curtains, the vacuum won't even get the dust off the curtains and leaves fuzz on my carpet! The hardwood floors in my home seem to be... Read full review »

Works as well as a full sized Vacuum

byphoenixthecat Oct 3, 2005
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Light weight, easy to store, on/off switch for roller, cheap
Cons It blows! Not sure I'm in love with bag less vacuums.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently pulled up most of my carpet and refinished the hardwood floors underneath. Though my old Hoover still worked, the brush wouldn't turn off and that is not good for hardwood floors. I was looking at expensive vacuums like the Dyson but saw this in Target and decided to pick it up in the... Read full review »

Thank goodness I only have 3 rugs to vacuum!

byjengen May 29, 2008
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Small. Easy to store. Perfect for cleaning small area rugs.
Cons Noisy. Attachments never stay in compartments. Not too powerful. Messy clean-up.
Recommended it? No

I received this vacuum as a gift from my mother-in-law. I had told her I was in the market for an inexpensive, no-frills vacuum, as I had been vacuuming my three area rugs with an electric broom for months. I didn't need anything high tech or fancy, because my home is entirely hardwood and pergo,... Read full review »

Cheap vacuum: you get your money's worth.

Pros It's cheap, green, and sparkly. That's all it has going for it.
Cons Everything. Terrible suction, parts break off, motor shuts off when canister is empty,...
Recommended it? No

I hate this thing. I really do.

I bought the Eureka Optima about a year ago after our old canister vacuum finally died (it was given to us by a family member so who knows how old it actually was). The Eureka worked well at first. I'd say for the first month or so, it worked great and... Read full review »

Pros Price, weight
Cons Messy, noisy, durability
Recommended it? No

This review is after owning this vacuum for the last year and a half.


I initially purchased this vacuum due to it's pricing and size, as my last place was mostly tile, and the smallish bedrooms where carpeted. Once I moved to a bigger place that had more carpeting it quickly become... Read full review »

Pros A very powerful vacuum for the price.
Cons The vacuum is very loud. Exhaust blows in front on vacuum
Recommended it? Yes

The wife and I decided to replace a cordless Oreck Vacuum we had for little more than a year. We have laminate flooring throughout the house with several area rugs. It got to the point were the Oreck wouldn't hold a charge long enough to vacuum the whole house. I checked Eopinions and saw this... Read full review »
