eureka WhirlWind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight Vac for Carpets and Hard Floors, Blue

Only one attachment is usable with the tube extended. It seems heavy-duty and generally heavy. The suction is excellent.

I cannot believe how light this vacuum cleaner is and how powerful it is. Its suitable for hard floors I wouldnt purchase it to use on carpet. I dont think Ill go back to a stand up canister vacuum again

I bought this Eureka canister vac after struggling with a standing Bissell for years. While the Bissell seems well-equipped for carpets, it (to my frustration) blew dog hair around on our hard floors, and tossed back out bits and crumbs instead of actually sucking them up. My parents recommended a canister vac for hard floors, so I decided to try this one as it was low cost and I could return it through Amazon should it not work out. Thankfully, after unboxing and using it to vacuum all of our hard floors today, I am pleased beyond belief that it indeed sucks up pet hair (the bane of my existence) with ease. It is also small and light. The dust cup is easy to empty after use, and it is satisfying to see all its sucked up in one go. I came across a wad of threads from a rope toy my dogs play with, and the Eureka sucked it right up, and I saw it immediately in the dust cup with the rest of the debris it had collected. Our Bissell could never. The swiveling head is convenient for getting into spaces our Bissell couldnt reach. The retractable cord is a blessing, though I wouldnt have minded the cord being a bit longer -- but it isnt a hardship to plug it into a different outlet as I go. It also seems a bit quieter than our Bissell. The on/off button is easy to tap with my foot, though you want to press it all the way, or else it will only start to come on or off but return back to its previous setting when you release the button. This is not a problem though, more of a tip to press it firmly enough for it to register. The Eureka has the best qualities of my parents old canister vacuum and the newer style vacuums, in that it is excellent at picking up hair and debris on hard floors, but is also less cumbersome and bagless. One feature of many canister vacs that deterred me was their needing bag refills. With the Eureka, thats not an issue! Overall I would recommend the Eureka to others with hard floors who struggle with pet hair. Our dogs shed year-round, and their fur is by far the biggest obstacle I have faced in vacuuming our floors. This vac makes eliminating dog hair easy. It does the simple task I ask of a vacuum: to suck up dust, fur and crumbs from the hard floors. Since I have only used this vac once, I will keep my eyes peeled for issues in the future. I am hopeful that it will stay a reliable cleaning tool for years to come.

Excellent for the price. Pros: Cleans as well as the overpriced Dyson it replaces. Light, easy to maneuver, with nice feature of building the small brush attachments into the handle so you never have to find them or lose them. Brilliant! Bagless canister very easy and quick to empty, and less messy than the dead Dyson. Cons: -3 point wheel base makes it easy to tip over with normal motions. Good news is it doesnt shut off when that happens. - The toggle for floor/carpet is convenient on top of floor attachment, but sticks up in floor mode, making it get stuck under sofas and furniture. Very annoying when you try to vacuum UNDER things. Easy redesign to fix by making a sliding toggle instead of seesaw design - The nice retractable self winding cord is much shorter than expected, which limits the reach. I have to reposition plug 5 times to do one level of house, when the previous vacuum only needed two times. Easy and cheap fix for Eureka..should be a recall.

Purchased to clean Persian-style carpets in home, its a great little machine! I have tile floors so no need of a hefty vacuum, and this provided the suction and portability needed to clean the carpets. It also did a great job on the car interior, carpets and upholstery. Used it to help clean up the vents also. The cannister is small, so its not for everyone, but for area cleaning, its perfect. Its very light, nearly anyone can handle it.

So lightweight with so many options. They got it right with this vacuum.

Last week my expensive vacuum died at a time that I could not afford to replace it with something of like value. I had this in my cart and then instead, I ordered the Bissell Zing because it was cheaper and Bissell donates to animal charities when you purchase from them. I ended up returning the Bissell as the price reflected the extremely cheap quality of the attachments and the suction was so strong, I could not vacuum rugs or dust with it. So then I went back and ordered this. The attachments are definitely of sturdier construction and they lock together nicely, unlike the Bissell attachments. The suction is strong, but not so strong that you cant dust with it. I also like that the dusting brush is attached right to the wand handle, so it easily clicks into place and just as easily releases. This is a good vacuum for the price.

For a cheap vacuum this works very well. My only concern will be the plastic parts and how well they will stand up over time. But so far this does a great job.

Suction power is good for my apartment of one person with a cat. The scratchy material on the edges do pick up the cat hair fairly well, but still think i prefer a vacuum with a bristle roller for pet hair. I do like the light weight pull-behind canister, and the hose does seem to be a bit longer and more flexible than my last upright vacuum. Over all I’m pleased with this vacuum for light duty use, but would like it better if it had a bristle roller for anything more heavy duty. I do like how you can conveniently adjust the suction power easily on the handle area for lightweight throw rugs.

electric cord should be 5ft, longer
