Don't waste your money
I bought this because my $300 Kenmore vacuum cleaner had broke. I figured I would go for less expensive because I couldn't believe that I my other expensive one broke after only 4 years.Plus,I had figured it would be nice to have a bagless too.I thought this vacuum was great for the first week that I had it. Then I started to notice all kinds of problems.First,it seems to get clogged way too easy.Second,THERE IS ALMOST NO SUCTION!!! This is a huge problem. The attachments are useless because there is very little suction.Half the time the stuff you just vacuumed up falls out when you go to put the hose back.I spend more time picking stuff back up off the floor. I have cleaned it out several times now since owning it(11/2003) hoping to make it work better.Also,the hose for the attachments comes off real easy.They made it so you could replace it easy or clean out a clog.This is a great idea except for one thing, they didn't seem to think about the fact that you would be using this and moving in different directions to clean.So,the hose comes detached all the time as well.They needed to make it lock in place.I do not believe that this product was ever tested because they never would have put it on the market if they did. I need something that works better than this. I have two cats and three kids.I vacuum at least once a day,everyday and this vacuum is not cutting it.I need a real vacuum with real suction.If you are a single person with no pets and no need for attachments,than you might be alright with this vacuum.If you're a mom with pets,forget it!!Spend the extra money for a better vacuum.You do not need your vacuum driving you nuts too.

Clogs constantly!
Have owned this item for 4 months and had to clean the hose of clogs at least 5 times. It clogs on pine needles, trimmed hair, and darn near anything else. It doesn't even have the suction to get dry cat food into the collection bin, it all gets stuck in the roller area.

I have small children and this vacuum is just not up to the kind of things they spill.

Unless you are vacuuming dust and only dust I would not recommend this vacuum.

Terrible!
I bought this to replace my old Eureka upright less than 5 months ago. At first, I was impressed with the suction that it had, but disappointed with the "edging" feature. I had to use the crevice tool to actually get near the edge. Still, I had high hopes for this bagless cleaner.

I have cleaned and had to entirely replace one of the three filters since then as they are constantly getting clogged. I have to take this outside to empty it because it is so dusty and dirty, I would not want this in my house. I thought the idea behind bagless was that it was easier and cleaner to empty the container than to take out a bag and throw it away. As it is, I am in the driveway with a trashbag over the container every time I clean to empty it and struggling to put the fliters back in "just right" or the top won't stay on.

As was stated in the other review, it will blow dust all over your house.

I am VERY disappointed in this product and am ready to put this where it belongs---on the curb for the trashmen to pick up!

Not worth it
I bought this to replace my old Hoover (which I loved, and lasted me 10 yrs.), thinking I might like bagless. This vaccum was messy, loud and when I used a powder carpet cleaner it spewed dust all over my house. For the money, I would expect a lot better. I'm guessing to avoid the problem I had, you might have to change the filter constantly, which would become extremely expensive and wasteful. Considering I emptied the dirt cup every time I used it and it still was messy and dusty. Terrible, now I don't even want another Hoover vaccum.

Eureka belts
We bought the vacuume cleaner from Costco less than a year ago,
and the belts break every so often. I wonder why. We never had to change belts when we were using Hoover's.

I keep buying them, so what does that mean?
Ok, I have had my upright for about 3 years and go through a belt a month. I have it in right, and even took it to the shop to let them put it in, and it still breaks or burns up in a month. I don't blame it entirely on just the belt, I'm sure the sweeper plays a part.

Minus the shipping charges, Amazon does have a good price on them.

DO NOT BUY
Dont buy this vacuum. I used it for 6 mos and then it broke (the belt would not stay on - kept sliding off the shaft). I tried everything and finally called. Eureka gave me authorized shop to take it to which I did. The guy at the shop did not even want me to show him what is wrong. He took one look at my vacuum and said "belt wont stay on huh?". I was stunned and asked him how he knew. He said he's gotten four of these in past year and all the same. He cant fix em, and told me Eureka would send me new vacuum which they did. Today I picked up a new vacuum (same model grrrr) from the shop. And sitting next to mine where two more broken units of the exact same model.

Words of advice - if you buy this vacuum save your receipt. Without receipt you wont be able to use warranty. Just my two cents folks.

P.S. When it works it works GREAT. My wife loves it. I was tempted to give it 2 star just because it does work well. I just worry that in 6 mos this new one will break again and now it will be off of warranty.

Not right from the start
I got this blender as a gift and didn't use it right away (which is too bad since the limited warranty is up) and when I did use it it leaked through the bottom. I checked with my mom and sister who had the same blender and they had the same problem! We tried to contact the place we bought the blender, but they were not interested in replacing or paying for repairs and we tried the vender and have not received any sympathy (or exchange/replacement/refund) from them, either. This is very unfortunate, since the blender has a great pitcher (really sturdy glass) and when Is aw it demonstrated it worked really well....I'm disappointed.

The Worst!
I bought this vacuum recently at Best Buy because I saw the advertisements on TV that made it seem great. It turned out to be opposite of the commercials. This vacuum is poorly built and appears to be fragile, not made to last. When the agitator is turned on, it makes a very loud sound that over powers the sound of the vacuum motor itself. Within minutes of the 1st use, it began to make a strong burning plastic smell. I returned it within 24 hours of purchase and bought a Eureka 4885 which is far superior. Overall, this Euro-Pro is not even worth twenty bucks. Vacuums that cost $60 will easily out perform this vacuum. Stay away from it unless you want to deal with the hassle of returning it.

What a piece of s**t
I did not expect great things when I bought this piece of junk, but, I expected something. I needs cleaning out every three minutes. The suction is almost nonexistent even when cleaned out. It is made of cheap plastic, and whoever desigend the thing certainly never planned on it being used as a vacuum. If you need an anchor for your canoe, with a little lead weight added, this might work. Other than that, it is good for nothing. (...)
