Bagless Reviews

With four energetic Labrador Retrievers banging around my house, there is no end to the dust and dirt I have to scoop up on a regular basis. But with devices like this for the stairs and hard to get to places, cleaning up after my four best friends is now easier than ever. The stairs seem to always have dog hair on them, especially this time of the year, with the dogs shedding their coats in anticipation of the colder weather to come. SO almost every evening I let them oput back to chase each other while I vacuum the stairs, hallway, and then the main area downstairs in the living room and family room, where we spend most our time. WHile I use a commercial vacuum for the living area, I can use this light, bagless, and quick handy-vac to scoop up the acculumated dettritus of the day on the stairs.

Its'relatively small size means it's perfect for such use, and can get in all the nooks and crannies you need to clean, as well. Yet its 2 amps (240 watts) of vacuum power seems strong enough for to get anything needing vacuuming. Unlike larger vacuums, this one is easy to carry up and down stairs, so cleaning up spills in the bathroom or elsewhere is no problem. Its small size also means it can get into tight crevices, and with a 25 foot cord, you can go the length of the stairs without plugging it in two different places. It even works well on walls and other vertical surfaces. The accumulated debris is vacuumed into a fairly large dust cup, which negates the requirement for any paper vacuum bags. Enjoy!

I decided to get a handheld because, although I am pleased with my regular vacuum's performance on the carpet, I found using the attachments lacking in other vacuuming duties. This little vac complements my regular vacuum phenomenally!

It has a rotating brush which easily pulled the dog hair out of my chair (made from a tapestry material.) Does a great job on the stairs too! It has a long 25 foot cord. I have some old handheld vac that's been gathering dust. It was very noisy. Although this one's not silent, it is less noisy than that screaming jet engine thing in the closet. It's also less noisy than my regular vacuum. Lighter than that other old thing too.

This vacuum is great for small area rugs and hard to vacuum steps. We have a dog (yellow lab) that constantly sheds and this vacuum picks up the hair on his bed and other area rugs that show his hair. It has a long plug so it is easy to use in hard to get areas. I have tried other cordless vacuums that were useless and this is the first hand held vacuum that has worked well and is easy to use. I was amazed the first time I emptied the collection container at the amount of dust and dirt that this small vacuum was able to pick up. I was also tired of dragging our regular vacuum up and down the stairs and this vacuum has allowed me to do our stairs efficiently and quickly. I would definitely recommend this vacuum for pet owners!

I ordered one of these for my mother and one for myself on the recommendation of the other reviewers. We both love it, and now I'm ordering another to send to my daughter for Christmas! It works wonderfully on our ceramic tile floors, and the suction is strong enough to pick up lint and threads from my bathroom area rugs (but it doesn't "eat" the rug like my regular vacuum).
You can either hang the entire unit on the bracket provided or easily remove the battery pack and recharge it on a counter or table top. It's easy to switch from hard floor to carpet setting, and the handle can be easily removed for hand vacuuming.
This vacuum is not intended to replace a full-size vacuum, but it's perfect for what is is meant to do.
In a way, I would have liked to be able to remove the head for attachments to get into small areas, but then it would be more complicated and not as sturdy and easy to use.
I highly recommend this product!

My niece kept telling me about this vacuum. She said it was the greatest, most useful purchase she has made. I thought she was overcome with taking care of her toddler and baby and did not pay much attention. I was visiting her one day and she started telling me about this Eureka Boss cordless vacuum again and gave me a demo. She likes it so much she has one for each floor of her house! I was amazed, and went home and ordered one online from Target. It is fantastic! I can clean a whole floor in minutes, including cat hair and kitty litter! I needed a little practice emptying the dust cup, but have developed a good techique so I don't get it all over. I usually put off cleaning because I have to drag out the heavy cumbersome vacuum. Now I actually enjoy cleaning with this light and adaptable machine. Life is so much easier and cleaner. Thanks!

This is a great vacuum for hardwood, linoleum, and tile. I don't recommend it for carpet. This isn't what we bought it for, though. Great buy, don't know how you couldn't like it, unless you use it for carpet.

This vacuum is awful. Don't even consider it. It has never worked from the day I got it and Amazon would not let me return it because it had been more than 30 days since the purchase date. It spews dust and dirt out all over the place. I had it repaired once (No Warranty was provided for this specific problem) and it stills spews out dirt. I'm putting it in a dumpster this weekend.....

Buying this vacuum was one of the best decisions I ever made. Granted, my old vacuum was horrible, but I expected much less from this Eureka at the price I paid -- plus I got a free spin duster. I have a German Shepherd, and this thing picks up dog hair like a dream. If you use it to pick up pet hair though, use a carpet deoderizer like Arm & Hammer's Pet Fresh. Otherwise, your vacuum cannister will stink when you go to empty it. Also make sure you empty the cannister outdoors to avoid re-releasing a lot of dust, dirt, etc. back into your home. I gave it 4 stars because there's still room for improvement: The on/off switch could be in a more convenient location, the cannister filter can be a chore to clean, and I don't like how the utility hose is transparent (sure it looks cool before the first time you use it but dirt WILL stick to the inside of the hose). Also, I still have not yet received my Eureka manufacturer's rebate, but overall I am more than satisfied with this vacuum.

Works wonderfully, nice and quiet, but on the heavy side. Easy to clean and picks up a ton of dirt.

Since I have mostly tile floors, I wanted a good canister vac that would be easier to "pull" around than my expensive upright. I finally decided on the Shark Euro-Pro Bagless vacuum. This vac claimed to have the most suction power and the filter was "tap" to clean. After receiving the vac and reading the manual, I found that there are actually three filters and all have to be replaced every so many months. There was no information on where to buy the filters. The vac does seem to have the power, but the manual states that the power will deminish if the filters are not cleaned/replaced properly. The clean-up of the filters is a time consuming job and must be done after each use. The vac comes with two floor tools (one powered). I use the power tool for all cleaning (tile and carpet). The way the floor tools swivel at the end of the wand makes getting into small places easy.

I selected this vacuum not even seeing a picture on the website, but it had the features I wanted and the price was right. When I received it, I was surprised at how light the box was. It's a nice, compact canister that moves around easily due to it's light weight and small size. You can even use the included strap to carry it on your shoulder. It does an excellent job on my hardwood floors and berber carpets! I love that it's bagless. The instructions say to tap the filter on the side of the trash can to get all the dust out, but i recommend doing this outside or all the dust will be airborn in the house. The HEPA filter is great, especially since I think my old vac blew as much dust into the air as it was taking in! Didn't sneeze once, which would've been typical before!

I have owned this vacuum cleaner for about two months now. I live in a 1 bedroom apt (~600 sq ft). about half of our floors are loop berber and the other half are hardwood. The vacuum works well on both floor types. It has great suction power and is easy to use (i.e. haul around, turn, pull, push etc). It comes with a bare floor and a "self propelled" carpet brush attachment which work adequately. The vacuum is neatly designed. Futuristic looking almost, and the silver plastic and blue look very industrial and modern to me.

Details:
The top of the vacuum cleaner lifts to reveal the dust collection canister, and two small attachments for upholstery and for corners/hard to reach places. The small attachments are somewhat difficult to use since they are very small and do not cover a large enough area of the upholstery or furniture you are cleaning... this has not been a problem for me thus far since all the cloth covered surfaces in my house are washable. I estimate with practice you could meticulously vacuum a whole couch in about 20 minutes (???).

The filters are the only part of the vacuum cleaner that are both a blessing and a curse. They are HEPA filters which is great for allergy sufferers (like myself). There are three filters, which WILL get clogged relatively soon depending on your conditions. When we were doing some repairs in a wall collecting the drywall dust clogged the vacuum cleaner in one day, but this is not what it was designed for anyway. Tapping the filters can be annoying as small dust specs inevitably escape. Washing them is very easy. I reccomend buying an extra set of filters which you can wash and have ready while the others are in use... you can then just switch and replace. Nothing is more annoying than finding out your vacuum cleaner has no power when you have mustered teh will power to clean.

All in all a great buy at this price. From other products I have seen it should be pretty durable.

THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE, IT HAS NO POWER AT ALL, AND GETS HOT REALLY FAST, IT'S OK FOR SMALL PLACES OR FAST PICK-UPS, BUT IT DOESN'T DO THE JOB I NEED DONE IN MY HOUSE, ANOTHER THING TO STORE IN THE SHED

I love this thing! I throw it over my shoulder and head down the stairs and continue from the carpeted areas to the hard wood floors without having to switch anything. My old Hoover (an upright) was great, but it was so bulky when it came to vacuuming the carpeted stairs. This is not bulky and there are no bags to worry about!

It's not for carpet. Don't even think about getting this to solve a dog hair problem unless you have hard floors only. However, for those pesky little corner jobs, window sills, light fixtures, inside drawers, it can't be beat. Very light weight but lots of sucking power. Here are some of the things it has taken care of:

1. Dead oriental lady bugs (the biting kind) in the window sill

2. Cobwebs and general ickiness from the track of the sliding door

3. a jar of little screws I knocked over and didn't have time to pick up by hand before company was arriving.

4. Cat litter (excellent job on this)

5. Dog food

This little vacuum and a good upright model should take care of most of your vacuuming needs.

I bought the shark and it was a waste of money, they should pay people to use this product. It worked fine for a couple of weeks then it would cut off after 10min., it would take two days to vaccuum my small two bedroom apartment. After the second belt broke, I ordered a set from Euro-Pro on-line. They said it would take 3-4 weeks before the order would come, after 5 weeks the only thing that came was a post card stating that they where out of stock. I'm still waiting. Like most of you I discarded the box, it's past the number of days to return and I'm out of $105 dollars. I love Target BUT please let Euro-Pro go. P.S. THINK ABOUT A RECALL

This vacuum is a waste of money. After buying, I used it 4 times at the most then had no suction. I took it to a vacuum shop, thinking I must have a really bad blockage.(I have two cats). There was no blockage. I was told it was just a horrible machine. Plus, I was told that the parts for this machine (belts, etc) are almost impossible to get and he pointed out the size of the filter to me, extremely small and pretty much useless. Luckily, Target was great about it. Although, I misplaced the receipt, I had purchased it with a credit card, so they allowed me to return this and exchange it for another vacuum. Reading the reviews before puchasing would have saved me some frustration. I hope this review does the same for others. really not a good vacuum.

This is the most WORTHLESS vacuum I've ever had. It stopped working 3 months after I bought it. I've had the belts changed, cleaned out the canister...it simply doesn't work.
Don't buy this product!!!
