Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

In spite of this very reasonable price this is not a crappy stick vacuum like you would buy from dirt devil. This is a very serious light duty vacuum.This is the ONLY light duty vacuum cleaner you should ever buy if you have pets.It is lightweight picks up as much as many large vacuums. The powered brush roll is fantastic. The dust cup is red clear heavy duty semi flexible polycarbonate not cheap hard plexiglass.Meaning it will not shatter from age or a minor drop.The cord is maddening because it has no place on the handle to secure it so you have to hold it. The handle needs to have a spot of school glue in the threads during assembly or the screw will back out. My first quick up, the yellow model, lasted 10 years of daily use.Clean the dust cup every time, make sure the brush is cleaned of hair every time. Wash out the filter with warm soapy water and a sprinkle of baking soda to kill any odors, once a month and be sure it is dry before putting it back in and you are good to go. This one is really improved over the old clear quickups as it has a solid heavy black cover over the brushroll so you don't have to look at the ugly scratched plexiglass on it. t is also more balanced so it does not rattle when it runs.This is absolutely NOT a wet vacuum. As with all inline turbine motors running it across wet areas will burn out the motor. This is the traditional heavy duty Eureka inline turbine. Making sure it is dumped every time decreases the chances of it over heating and going out before it's time.Cleaning the brushroll also makes sure that your life time belt is not over taxed or the roller motor made to burn out. Rule of law in lower priced cleaners Eureka for vacuums, you pay a small amount more up front but it lasts 100 percent longer. And for anything wet like carpet deep cleaners buy only Bissel. NEVER buy ANYTHING cordless.
