  • Move over Hoover!

    Jan 29 '03
    Pros: Powerful, glides easily, does an excellent job of sucking dirt!
    Cons: Filter is somewhat difficult to clean.

    Summary: Mini-Update: 11/6/03-I have owned this vacuum for over a year and a half now, and I am still delighted with its performance! There seems to be no deterioration in its power, though my long hair sometimes becomes ensnared on the rotating brush hea ...

  • I know its a little late

    May 12 '11
    Pros: Cleans after 7 years
    Large dirt cup
    Maintanance Costs 24 dollars
    Cons: My only complaint would be edge cleaning was subpar.

    Summary: But I guess the best way to really know a vacuum is after having used it for many years. First off, some of you guys must be absolute idiots. For those of you complaining about the burning rubber smell or how easily the belts break or the bearing mounts ...

  • Excellent ...with one exception

    Apr 27 '07
    Pros: Good suction, heppa filter works and cleaning the cleaning the cannister isn't really difficult
    Cons: The hose is a big pain to use and put back in place!

    Summary: I've owned my Litespeed for at least four years and, to be perfectly honest, it's done pretty well. I bought it to replace a canister cleaner that was great for non-carpeted areas but lousy when it came to carpets. Moreover, my home at the time was ...

  • watch ur asses Hoover and Dyson! I got Bissell already

    Dec 04 '05
    Pros: everything, every spec of it
    Cons: nothing

    Summary: This is a perfect vacuum. I had bought this vacuum at Sears for only $80.00. It was so easy to install, you just had to take it out of the box and put in the screws for the handle. Now as with all of the other people who wrote reviews, of course i had a ...

  • Plastic and breakable

    Dec 16 '04
    Pros: Clear bin, easy to tell when full bagless design somewhat better in our opinion lightweight
    Cons: Chews up belts burnt up plastic roller bearings burnt up plastic roller bushings

    Summary: We bought this vacuum cleaner because we wanted a HEPA filter, plus the bagless design. We hoped the bagless would save money and be easier to clean than the standard bag-type cleaners. That part worked out, as it is easier to clean. Cheaper is iffy, ...

  • What a Disgusting Delight!

    Sep 08 '04
    Pros: Great cleaning Easy to use Affordable Fairly Quiet
    Cons: Messy filter cleaning

    Summary: Well I bought this from Amazon.com after reading reviews here and elsewhere. The price/quality ratio seemed quite good, so I went for it. I have to say I was reluctant however since I was disappointed with my last Eureka. I bought a Eureka Boss ...

  • Returning the day after purchase

    Apr 20 '04
    Pros: Easy to assemble. Nice long cord.Lots of suction (too much?)
    Cons: Belts break easily, cumbersome to replace, eats rugs, whistle sound from casing. Only one attachment.

    Summary: After extensive research on Epinions regarding a durable, reliable vacuum, I decided to go with the Eureka 5740. When I arrived at the place I purchased it, there was a couple discussing which vacuum to purchase and I stepped in to give some ...

  • 4 furry animals, 2 kids and 2 adults and happy as clams

    Feb 20 '04
    Pros: Cost, powerfull, bagless, animal hair does not clog, long cord
    Cons: Short attachment hose, beater bar keeps running when using attachments

    Summary: Even with a house of 2 larger long haired dogs, 2 cats, a young child and a teenager this stands the test. We were told that with animals, a bagless vac would not work for us since the hair would clog the filter, NOT The vac is fairly light and rolls ...

  • Time to set the record straight!

    Jan 03 '04
    Pros: Power, Ease, Quiet, Affordable.
    Cons: Hose is a little short

    Summary: As an owner of an akita and cat, I need a reliable vacuum. My first reason for choosing this vacuum was the price. At just a small amount more than a refurbished dirt devil, it was a steal. I still wasn't completely sold on it until I used it. Time ...

  • great but careful

    Dec 22 '03
    Pros: powerful, easy to use.
    Cons: belt broke

    Summary: To start, a great vacuum. I actually took over the job of vacuuming the house because of this machine. My wife went out of town for 5 days leaving me home (took off work) with the house and kids. I needed to buy a rug steam cleaner and got carried away ...

  • Great Value for your money

    Dec 09 '03
    Pros: Great suction. Reasonable price. HEPA filter works.
    Cons: Cleaning filters. Using hand tools.

    Summary: When I was looking through my Gold box offers on Amazon.com, they offered the Litespeed vacuum cleaner for $67. That seemed like a pretty good deal for a "bagless" vacuum cleaner and so I bought it on a whim because I was tired of constantly unclogging ...

  • This thing works and lasts!

    Nov 04 '03
    Pros: Lightweight, powerful, carpet, affordable price, rugged and solid but easy to handle, HEPA Filter.
    Cons: None

    Summary: I decided not to write any opinion without enough testing time. This is after using the vacuum cleaner for eight months. When I wrote the opinion, we have cleaned some 330,000 sq. ft. Now, after 13 months of usage, we reached 509,000 sq. ft. without any ...

  • Eureka!!!! I'm actually smiling as I vacuum.

    Sep 06 '03
    Pros: Light weight, quiet, great cleaning, easy to use.
    Cons: I personally haven't found one in the way I use it.

    Summary: I did a thorough review on epinions and other sites to determine the best vacuum for me. Like everyone else, my old vacuum was smelly, dusty, and couldn't pick up the baby fine, gray cat hair from my off-white carpet enough to make it look clean. I was ...

  • Best vacuum I've used. Pet owners dream!

    Sep 02 '03
    Pros: Excellent suction, lightweight, easy to use.
    Cons: Hose collapses

    Summary: I have always used a canister vacuum, but due to finances when I needed my last vacuum I bought an u ...

  • Wow!!!

    Aug 09 '03
    Pros: Tons of power!
    Cons: Pretty heavy.

    Summary: I did quite a bit of research before purchasing my Eureka 5740. I needed something that would be co ...

  • The best vacuum I've ever owned!!!

    Aug 07 '03
    Pros: strong suction, not to heavy
    Cons: you have to replace the filters....big deal

    Summary: I was begging to think I would never like any vacuum. I have been married 10 years and in that time we have owned a kirby, Oreck, red devil? and a Royal. must be at least $1,500 in vacuum cleaners!(I could've have a nice vacation!)
    Anyway This...
