Eureka Optima Turbo Vacuum,

After owning for about 6 months I feel this is a very good product. I usually have to empty the canister after each use, indicating to me it is picking up the dirt and animal fur. The only complaint I have is the stair turbo brush stopped spinng shortly after owning. I contacted Eureka and they promptly sent me a new attachment, but that ended up with the same result. It would be nice to have but I'll have to live without. The filters can be found at many stores. I have several and switch off while they are drying...

I have only used this product a couple of times for in office cleaning. The only complaint I have so far is it is a little noisy (surprisingly so for such a small vacuum) But worth it! It picks up great, and the handle goes down for storage in small places. I would most definetly recommend it.

I purchased this product about 3 years ago. It lasted only 12 months before the powercord wore through and the cannister began to leak dust everywhere. Everytime I turned it on, there was a puff of dust. As well, the motor started burning out. It is a lightweight vacuum with a sleek design and easy-to-use attachments, but not worth it for only a year's use.

I purchased this vacuum about 2.5 years ago. When I purchased it, it was actually from with in a store and was about $50.
I thought this vacuum was great. I used it nearly everyday and to this day it still works....I just lost one of the wheels. And to be honest it probably broke when it was literally crammed into the back of a tiny uhaul with the rest of our belongings and taken over 3,000 miles.
I LOVED this vacuum and when I went to shop for a new one, I couldn't find it in the store and ended up having to buy another brand :(
If the wheel hadn't snapped off during the trip I'll bet this vacuum would have lasted for years to come. The plastic on it wasn't flimsy like I have seem with some other lower end vacs.....I loved this vac so much that I have actually kept the little guy with his broken wheel to use when I vacuum out my cars.

I bought this vacuum not even a year ago. Today the base broke off from the top. I have had issue after issue with it. It has great suction, but the filter is a mess to clean. When you want to replace the filter you cannot find one anywhere. I am still in disbelief that it basically broke in half(plastic snapped from base to top). I vacuum a lot because of my children, but I have never owned such a faulty product. The attachments have all broken(cheap plastic), and you have constant mess with the dirt container. I own no pets, so I can't imagine anyone wih them buying this headache. This vacuum is for a student or a single guy who only needs to vacuum once a week. It is a nightmare, and if I have saved one person from wasting their money and time(because after 10 months I have to get another) I have served my time well writing this review. Buy a diiferent one!!!!!!!!

Vacuum does a great job of cleaning. Picks up Dalmatian dog hair very well. My only issue is that I am used to bags and haven't found a good way to empty the dust bin without having to take a shower afterward.

Great vacuum for hardwood or laminate floors. The switch to turn the beater bar off is awesome. I have several area rugs and laminate floors and this vacuum makes transistioning from one to the other easy. I vacuum 3-4 times a week as I have 2 dogs and this little vacuum works great! It also works good on my wall to wall carpeting in the bedroom. Only drawback is pet hair gets trapped around the filter, so I have to empty it halfway through, but other than that its awesome! I haven't had to sweep since I got it. It gets into all the corners and right up to the wall.

This product works fine as long as you don't have pets in the house. It does not pick up hair at all. It does well on hard floors...it does not kick back any debris onto your feet when vacuuming.
Best vaccume I've had thus far,

At first I was a bit sceptical about purchasing this vaccume cleaner because it was very small and It looked like it didn't do much. I went to various websites to get reviews and price comparison and with the help of others giving it a high rating and even showing their own home video of how great it works, I decided to go ahead and try it out. I must say, for a small VC it does the job and it does it very well. The suction is awesome, it's light weight, and its very easy to manuver. I always forget about wires on the floor, like phone chargers, cable, computer plug -ins etc... well I did forget with this VC and it pushes it away!!! I am so amazed! SO now, when I come into a wire I will know it's okay because the VC doesn't pick it up! I love it so much, for the performance and the price was great! :)

I purchased this product because of the lightweight size and to use on stairsbecause of the pet pawattachment. It worked great at firstand was very lightweight, but then but the filter fell off the first week and got dirt in the motor & messed up the vaccum, then I couldn't find a new filter for it anywhere. I had to return it after a week.

It does get the job done...but the reason I would not recommend it is because, while the vacum is not heavy and is easy to lift, it is heavy and hard to push around. Also, it is very messy and time consuming to empty.

I purchased this product to use in my RV. It was a perfect size and the light weight of it was a big plus. Since we have only gone camping once, I have only used it once, but it was great! It fits around my furniture easily and is not hard to manuever. I was not exhausted when I finished the job. We have 2 labs that camp with us and it picked up all the hair without a problem. The only problem I had was putting the dust bin back together after emptying it. I couldn't turn the top to lock it back in place. Other than this problem it is a great vacuum for little spaces.

The product seemed like a toy when I first saw it. When I used it, it soon became apparent that it was a powerful vacuum and does a great job. I was amazed the amount of residual dirt my previous vacuum (Kirby) had left behind. It is very convient to store due to it's small physical size. The only short coming is the "stair tread" attachment gets bumped off it's storage space when I vacuum under furniture.
