Cons: Foot Pedal and Hard Floor/Carpet Switch not user friendly, somewhat heavy for a vacuum

Pros: Solid, handsome, well-made, strong suction, great features, unbeatable value.
Cons: Some switches are a little stiff, power paw doesn't store on machine. (minor)
Summary: I consider myself a fair-minded person, and in fairness I have to take issue with several reviews that - in my opinion - are nit picking this vacuum to death. I should say that I have the upgraded 4870GZ version. Yes, some switches, including the lock ... read more

Pros: Amazingly strong performance; design; quiet; cord-length; price; HEPA filtration; clear tubes; easy to assemble
Cons: A bit heavy; can take some effort to pull back; contributes toward insufferable Epinion whining
Summary: It's been almost four months since purchasing my Eureka 4870DT and I'm pleased to say that so far I couldn't be happier with it. First and foremost, it does what a vacuum cleaner is supposed to do: it cleans and does so incredibly well. In fact, in ... read more

Pros: Powerful suction (12 Amp motor) and HEPA Filter
Cons: Weight

Cons: A bit on the heavy side

Pros: Powerful, tank-like quality, value, serious Hepa filter, and it uses BAGS!!!
Cons: Heavy. small-back workout, no grab-handle, Sears was out of bags at purchase.
Summary: My wife and I both hated the bagless Kenmore we had. What a big mess, and smelly! It's a pleasure to use bags again. Foot lever is NOT problematic...use your LEFT foot. Works everytime. The brushes are at such a high rpm that the vacuum actually ... read more

Pros: suction, HEPA filter
Cons: manual could use a bit more detail; unit is heavy
Summary: I also bought this based on the CR "Best Buy" designation, and I haven't been disappointed. I have been using this vacuum for 4 months now. It would be so very nice if the vacuum designers could figure out how to incorporate a retractible cord into ... read more
