Very Impressive

bydimist Jan 5, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Great suction, great cleaning, amazing versatility
Cons Filter cleaning is tedious and must be done frequently
Recommended it? Yes

With a 12 Amp motor, this unit has a lot of suction. But here are some of the less obvious features that make it great in my opinion:

The rolling base fits snug to the floor, and there is something like a weather strip on the bottom that helps sweep debris towards the rotating brush. This... Read full review »

Don't believe the hype

Pros Cheap Lightweight, if that matters
Cons Gets clogged easily Difficult to switch between floor and hose
Recommended it? No

I read lots of glowing reviews on epinions before rushing out to get this vacuum when our Bissell Clearview died. I used it once in one room of our clean 900 sq ft house and it died. It does have strong suction, but it got hopelessly clogged immediately and eventually the power turned off--a safety... Read full review »

Only Worked for Six Months

bywattroadnicole Aug 16, 2008
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Compact, light.
Cons Shoddy construction. The vent blows dust out of your path as you vacuum.
Recommended it? No

I've had my Eureka Optima Upright for about eight months and it has basically fallen apart. The host attachment falls off continuously, one wheel fell off, and it barely works anymore.
If I pay up to $80 for a vacuum, I expect it to work for at least a few years. Don't waste your money on this... Read full review »

Not What You Expect from a Vacuum

bychristina5683 Nov 21, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Bagless, decent suction.
Cons It stops mid-vacuuming. Overheats too easily. Can't get the job done.
Recommended it? No

I don't understand how other users are raving about this vacuum cleaner; they're obviously not using it themselves. I've come to hate this vacuum. When I first bought it, I thought it worked wonderfully. But within months, something really annoying started to happen: it just stops working in... Read full review »

Great vacuum, (at first)

byrebekahgarcia Oct 12, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great suction, inexpensive, compact.
Cons Bad quality.
Recommended it? No

When I first purchased this vacuum I loved it, I went around recommending it to all of my friends. It worked just as good, if not better than a full size vacuum. I loved how compact it was and how easy it was to vacuum the stairs. The only initial cons I found were how short the hose and cord were,... Read full review »

i USE TO love my Eureka...

byhapeeconsumer Oct 9, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros lightweight, works great, love the adjustable handle.
Cons can't get replacement filters.
Recommended it? No

This vacuum works great, I've had it for over six months. It's lightweight it's powerful...but you know it doesn't matter because you can't get the filter anywhere, not even from the Eureka website. Read full review »

Sucks well for two minutes max then gets broken

bybenedikta Apr 29, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Suction is strong, the vacuum is light and the handle adjusts to different height
Cons Stops working before I am through with one room, needs constant cleaning
Recommended it? No

I liked this vacuum for about a week. Then it stopped working so I cleaned it (very messy job) and it stopped working again within two minutes. I am taking it back tomorrow. Wish I could figure out how to keep it working as it is a nice vacuum. Sucks hair very well with the bottom brush but it... Read full review »

Broke twice!

bydeathtobestbuy Mar 10, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros Can serve as a rudimentary bludgeoning tool against Best Buy employees after it breaks.
Cons Suction feature breaks too easily. Makes a mess when you clean it.
Recommended it? No

I have owned two of these things (the second not by choice but because Best Buy would only let me exchange it for another when the first broke). Both times the same problem occurred. The suction fan suddenly broke. It's not like I'm vacuuming gravel or anything - just using it in a small studio... Read full review »

GREAT LITTLE VACUUM!!!

byjesuslovesalex Jul 30, 2008
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great suction, cleans wonderfully.
Cons Cord is WAY to short, constantly unplugging and plugging in elsewhere.
Recommended it? Yes

Best vacuum I've ever used, picks up everything, no bags to buy. I used my other vacuum which is an expensive name brand and then re-vacuumed right away with the optima and was shocked at the amount of stuff it vacuumed up! My only complaint and it's fairly substantial to me is the the optimas cord... Read full review »

Piece of Garbage

bygaryjd91 Aug 9, 2007
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Ok when brand new
Cons You cannot access the roller to clean the vacuum.
Recommended it? No

This thing worked fine when it was brand new, but God forbid that you get something stuck in the roller, something like hair, because it is so cheaply made that if you take out the roller, you need a screwdriver and the whole thing comes apart. I had to remove 12 screws to get at the roller and... Read full review »
