Eureka 431A Optima Bagless Upright Vacuum

Pros: $60, easy to operate, easy to assemble, long hose, long cord
Cons: NONE!

I bought this vacuum today at Target for $59.99 plus applicable taxes. I could have bought it at CostCo for $5 less, but I didn't feel like signing up a membership card with that company for just a vacuum cleaner. I had done much research beforehand ...

Pros: Lots of power without lots of weight.
Cons: can be a little hard to push at times.

With a house full of kids and pets I needed a vacuum that could stand up to the challenge of a busy household with lots of hair, dirt, food, you name it. I bought this vacuum after mine quit on me it couldn’t keep up with my needs. I love the fact that ...

Pros: It's pretty, compact, sucks like crazy, it's bagless and my cats like it!!!
Cons: Not good for large houses or for insecure men!!!

Lets start at the beginning - I bought my first vacuum (a Eureka Victory 4465D) at age 16 (along with my first apartment). I have always been obsessive as well as compulsive about cleaning and I am also very picky about the quality of products I buy. ...

Pros: 12 amp, lightweight, bag less, inexpensive, adjustable handle, brush roller turn off feature
Cons: power cord too short, filters have to be replaced

In my search for a new vacuum, I was looking for the best vacuum at the best price. I have had two previous vacuums in the last 6 years each of which cost nearly $200 and each which lasted 3 years. Although both of these vacuums did their job or ...

Pros: Cleaned hardwood floors
Cons: Does not pick up dust, pet hair, or fuzz

Well I wish I could say this vacuum sucks, but it doesn't! I have a dog and this vacuum does not pick up dog hair very well. I have black carpet and black and tan curtains, the vacuum won't even get the dust off the curtains and leaves fuzz on my carpet! ...

Pros: Light, powerful
Cons: Blows the dust. The filter is hard to clean and messy. Round handle thing(Con-in-my-book).

Now that I have become the resident expert at Vacuums in our household. We currently have three in the closet, two that we returned and now working on return number three. We just got the optima, I looked at all the ratings for it and after using it ...

Pros: Lightweight, great size for storing, and reasonable price
Cons: Cord length, filters expensive and need replaced often, wheels break easily, latest suction design bad

I originally bought my first Eureka Optima vacuum about a year ago. It had wonderful suction power, was small and light weight, and fit me just fine. A year later the wheels broke off both at the same time. To be fair though they are only held ...

Pros: It is cheap and fits into small spaces both for vacuuming and for storage.
Cons: Absolutely NO mobility despite its light weight.

This vacuum picks up dirt and fuzz fine (at least for me in a small apartment that is always picked up). But one of the wheels fell off as we took it out of the box. Even without this pain, the thing barely moves. I am lucky it only weighs 11 pounds ...

Pros: Cheap Lightweight, if that matters
Cons: Gets clogged easily Difficult to switch between floor and hose

I read lots of glowing reviews on epinions before rushing out to get this vacuum when our Bissell Clearview died. I used it once in one room of our clean 900 sq ft house and it died. It does have strong suction, but it got hopelessly clogged immediately ...

Pros: Small in stature - GREAT on performance Excellent for stairs because its so light!
Cons: Well - like everyone says - Cord could be maybe 5 ft longer.

OK, picture this.... 14 days, 4 long haired cats, - - -and no vacuum cleaner!!! So I do the google thing after checking on ebay for used vacuums. It seems no matter what I buy retail, no matter what price range, if I buy it new it lasts no more ...

Pros: It is light weight, is 12 amps and has an attractive color.
Cons: Too loud that you'll end up having Tinnitus. Dirt compartment fills up easily.

I wish I could say the same positive reviews like the other reviewers are saying about this vacuum. Unfortunately, this vacuum was a waste of my money. Not worth buying!I bought mine at Target for $59.99 plus tax. I was looking for a light ...

Pros: Can serve as a rudimentary bludgeoning tool against Best Buy employees after it breaks.
Cons: Suction feature breaks too easily. Makes a mess when you clean it.

I have owned two of these things (the second not by choice but because Best Buy would only let me exchange it for another when the first broke). Both times the same problem occurred. The suction fan suddenly broke. It's not like I'm vacuuming gravel or ...

Pros: Good beginning suction, ULTRA light, handle, color.
Cons: Loses suction very fast, expensive filters which aren't even HEPA, overheats very easily.

This vacuum is generally good for the price. It begins with very good suction, and has a nice beater bar, great looped handle, and a nice slim case. Also, the color is cool. It is very easy to meneuver and would be recommended for the weak or elderly. ...

Pros: Good suction, easy to assemble, carry & store
Cons: Canister is a little small.

For a light vacuum cleaner, this is a fabulous find. It has great suction, and I now use it more often than my full-sized vacuum. Plus, it took me fewer than 5 minutes to put together, all of the parts fit, no tools required. The canister snaps in & out easily, and the telescoping handle is a big plus for tight-space storage.

Pros: None
Cons: Suction dies out really fast.

It is a waste of money! First of all, it is louder than your average vacuum. Suction dies out really fast. The brushroll gets stuck very easily. The canister breaks really easily as well. It is recommended by Good Housekeeping which shows me that their judgement is not to be trusted. Save your money!!
