EUREKA PowerSpeed Lightweight Powerful Upright Vacuum Cleaner for Carpet and Hard Floor, Pet Turbo, Black,Yellow

Great vacuum
This is a great vacuum. My previous vacuum was also a Eureka. And it was a good vacuum for 15 years, until the on/off switch broke. I was hesitant to buy a vacuum that doesn’t have a bag, I don’t know why. But this is a very powerful machine. Lightweight, easy to move and use. I can see how much stuff it removes, and I was shocked how much it picked up. The canister is easy to empty. There were few parts to assemble and it was very easy. Very pleased!

This Vacuum Really Sucks!
We had a 20-yearold Eureka bagless that broke, and this was the nearest we found. Glad we did! It’s a little larger than the broken one, but a bit less large, heavy and cumbersome than our old Hoover upright. And a lot lighter in weight! This one (somehow) came with the extra pet-hair mini roller brush, but I had to go look up the Bissell version on line to find out how to take it apart for cleaning the mini roller. Works the same, and the device is REALLY useful for getting into small places. We have a long-hair cat.With 8 amps, this thing really pulls up dirt! Seriously pulls up dirt! I set it to the low “Carpet” level, for an old shag carpet in the trailer house. I’m living here, but the owner’s been here for a long time. I’ve been cleaning with that old Eureka, and it’s (I thought) been pretty clean. I was getting a lot of fuzz, cat hair, and some fine dirt, but all in all, okay. Then I used this guy! Holy Cow!!The first pass after setting it up, there was almost an entire “bucket” container of something greyish-brown. Plus a lot of fuzz and a lot of cat hair. I asked the owner, who told me that many years ago, she’d had a flea problem and sprinkled diatomaceous earth all over. Fixed the fleas, but she never cleaned the carpets.Suddenly, I’m using this new Eureka and it’s pulling EVERYthing out of the carpet! After only two times using it (back in April; it’s now September), almost all that “dust” was gone. Now, I’m getting general dirt, cat hair, dust and carpet fuzz. Normal.1. After the first-time use, with the massive amount of “newly discovered” dirt, the roller bar was almost entirely clear! No wrapped hair or anything gunked up in the brush bristles. Amazing!2. Disassembling for cleaning, I found that the main vacuum body was almost entirely clean! No outer dust anywhere on the plastic. The only dust was at the connection hole between the body and the container bucket — easy to clean with a swipe of a sponge or rag.3. Cleaning the container and filter was pretty simple, but a little bit of time involved.Cleaning:A push-button on the top handle releases the catch bin as a complete unit unto itself. There’s another button near the bottom of that basin, which then releases a gravity-operated “lid.” BE SURE TO KEEP THE BOTTOM OF THE BUCKET WELL BELOW THE UPPER EDGE OF YOUR TRASH CONTAINER!By pushing the release button to open the bottom of the bucket, you’re simply dropping out ALL the crud you’ve picked up in the catch basin! It comes flying out, dust-cloud and all! Still, there’s some remaining junk clinging to the clear plastic bucket walls.I like “BANG!” cleaner spray, which is cheap (Dollar Tree), and works very well. I also have a spray attachment on the kitchen sink, which makes it very easy to get water inside the bucket “tube.” There’s a plastic “clasp” or catch you pull on, to open the top of the overall basin. I’d imagine that catch will eventually break, but who knows…..none of the plastic on the 20-yearold ever broke.With the bottom open and the top hinged back, you can clean the entire catch basin. It’s large enough (easily) that you can get your hand in there with a sponge. The BANG! makes it easier, and water rinses it all out.The entire filter section comes apart, which is why I bought this. You lift out the filter assembly (the instruction manual shows how), and there are several parts. The filter itself is foam with some sort of paper on top. It’s there to prevent dust from blowing into the motor, and both the bottom (foam) and top (paper) got totally covered with dust. Being gentle with it, I was easily able to clean it under running water.I couldn’t find these round filters anywhere in stores, so ordered a 6-pack of replacements on Amazon. Not all that expensive. I’ve used and cleaned this vacuum now probably 8 times (since April, it’s now September), and the filter is still pretty together. I can see it’s going to degrade, but if it lasts four months (or more), then I only need to replace it three times a year. Very cost effective. And this place has all the old micro dust along with the cat hair, so the filter has to get cleaned after each use. For “normal people” and their homes, I think you could use the cleaner several times without cleaning every single time.The attachments are all there, easily stored on the body of the machine. The hose attaches to the roller base during upright use, and comes loose to attach to the handle for portable use. DO follow the instruction manual! The places for the attachments, and how to connect the different hose operations aren’t immediately obvious.Some people complain that the roller bar always turns. The old Eureka had a 2-way switch for upright (with roller bar), and portable (for smooth floors and portable use). This power switch only is On/Off. I don’t care. You can raise the level of the roller for “wood floors,” if it really makes you anxious.All in all, having sold vacuum cleaners in the past, I’d have to say this is one of the most powerful machines I’ve ever seen for its size, weight, and price! Yes, it’s all plastic, to keep the weight around 8-10lbs or so, but today’s plastics are pretty rugged. I’m thinking it’ll last long enough to be a good investment.

La marca eureka es de las mejores, pero para mí funciona muy bien para suelos rusticos ya que jala la tierra muy bien además de su capacidad de recolección que es muy buena.Yo la recomiendo mucho.

Llevo 6 meses usando la eureka y puedo resumir que sí es una maravilla por su precio. La compré porque mi perro suelta MUCHÍSIMO PELO y no podía soportarlo. Daré punto por punto los elementos que he observado en los últimos 6 meses.1. Armado: Súper sencillo. La aspiradora llega armada y sólo debes colocar la manguera, la manija y el filtro. No tiene ciencia. Puedes empezar a usarla de inmediato. CONS: Para cambiar a modo manual son pasos que para algunas personas pueden ser molestos. Debes cambiar la manguera, ponerle el cabeza y cambiar la altura de la aspiradora. A mí me parece de lo más normal, pero lo comento porque para algunas personas puede ser un punto de quiebre.2. Aspirado: Tiene una gran potencia. No tengo ni idea de lo sucia que está mi casa hasta que veo el filtro lleno de PELOS Y POLVO. Y el mono manual para aspirar los sillones está 10/10. Los cabezales, cuando aprendes a usar en las texturas, son una maravilla. CONS: La manguera manual es MUY corta; me costó un rato acostumbrarme y saber cómo detener la base de la aspiradora para que no se cayera. Eventualmente le agarré el modo y me es muy útil. Pero sería más feliz con una manguera más grande. Yo le compre un tubo de PVC del calibre y se lo puse para espacios altos… PERO no es lo más cómodo.3. Ruido: El de una aspiradora NORMAL. Sí hace ruido porque tiene un motor que está trabaje y trabaje. Leí comentarios que decían que era demasiado ruidosa y no me lo parece. CONS: Si eres una persona sensible al ruido, esta aspiradora no es para ti. Ni ninguna otra. xd4. ¡MANTENIMIENTO! OK, ojo aquí. YO uso mi aspiradora DIARIO. Todos los días aspiro y vivo en una zona polvosa. Después de 2-3 meses, noté que cuando la prendía sacaba POLVOO por las rendijas de respirado y me asusté. SIN EMBARGO, la desarmé y la limpié por completo. Desde entonces le hago mantenimiento una vez al mes. Quito tornillos, mangueras, motor y limpio. Si esperas que siga limpiado como siempre pero no la limpias, esta aspiradora NO ES PARA TÍ. Su aramado posterior tambiés es FACILÍSIMO. Y no necesitas artefactos súper pros. Yo uso un pincel (de pintura) para quitar el polvo del motor y todos los espacios posibles y una franela húmeda. PERO TIENES QUE LIMPIARLA. Compré la garantía por cualquier cosa pero no he necesitado usarla. Cuando la desarmes no quites ningún botón naranja, esos no te sirven y NO jales el motor porque está soldado. Sí lo puedes levantar de la base pero no desprenderlo por completo. Puedes lavar el filtro sin problemas.5. Calentamiento/funcionamiento: Nunca se me calienta y aspiro mi casa de un jalón. Cuando se empieza a calentar es porque necesita limpieza.RESUMEN: Cómprala si estás dispuesta (o) a la limpieza posterior, si no, terminarás quejándote de que aventaba polvo. Si lo haces y le das mantenimiento, NO TE VAS A ARREPENTIR.
