Eureka 169J 2-in-1 Quick-Up Bagless Stick Vacuum Cleaner for Bare Floors and Rugs, Red

The media could not be loaded. I bought this from Walmart back in August 2016. Liked it so much I bought a 2nd one in November 2016. And a third from Amazon for my dad's beach house in March 2018 (He loves it!). One from 2016 broke from user error. Not sure what they did. I think the rubber came off. It's an important piece. Anywho my original one chugs on and it's taken on a lot of hard use. 3 kids. 3 cats. A bunny. My floors are constantly a nightmare. I had a Hoover pet. I guess technically I still do, but since I bought it last Black Friday it's literally caput on me like 3 times. It's had to be completely taken apart and hose unclogged, got frustrated and broke the handle off by accident where it dumps from. My Eureka has fantastic suction, even when the brush collects enough fluff and string to build a complete bird's nest the brush keeps spinning so when I do get around to picking the crap out it's pretty full up, I just don't notice right away because the performance is so flawless. It is a Quick* up so after one bad room you need to empty and keep on. Obviously if the container is full it won't be able to continue picking up. Also I rinse mine at the end of using, not each time I dump it, but when I've vaccumed everything I wanted I rinse the filter and container and let it sit out to dry. It's lasted me over 3 years now and the one with all the parts intact works just as good as the day I got it. Not bad for under $30.. Especially when I wasted over $100 on a stupid full size that couldn't even make it half way though one year! So give that some thought. You could have 3-4 of these or one sh*tty full size. One Eureka for each level of your house. Though one should probably be that new blaze since this one doesn't have a crevice tool and can't get the stuff between the carpet & wall. So since writing my original review my cousin had asked me recommendations for a small vaccuum and I immediately recommended this and her and her husband loved it so much it caught on with my mom and she just recently bought one too. It looks like this amazing little stick vaccuum has become a family affair!

This machine is small, light to carry, and fantastic. I have a long-haired cat, and when I used this little fellow for the first time , there wasn't any fur left on my chairs. Being that it is 2 in 1, you can do your chairs with the hand vac and then do your carpet or floors with the vacuum. It is so light to carry, and it stands up by itself--no more leaning against a wall or door. For the price, you cannot go wrong. I have used very expensive vacuums in the past, and there is no comparison. I did a lot of research before I purchased this vacuum, and I have to agreee with others who commented on it, that it is the best for the price. When I vacuumed my carpet, I was amazed at the amount of dirt that it took out of the carpet. As a matter of fact, I now love to vacuum. Before, I would have to lug some heavy machine around and always have to buy bags. Now, I have this cute little vacuum that is bagless and easy to use and does a better job. The only con is a short cord. But, use an extension cord and you will be okay. I highly recommend it . A great buy for the price. Definitely would purchase it again

I like to vacuum every day. Country house! I have a few area rugs, but otherwise it is all hardwood/linoleum. This is by far the best pick up vacuum I have EVER used on bare floors. Very nice on the edges too, which is an issue. I would give it a five stars across the board, except that the cord is too short, although the cord does appear to be high quality. I will use it with a high end extension cord. Very light and very functional, great for under bed/other furniture. Head goes flat so it's easy to get anywhere. Works quite well as a hand vac too.On these types of vacuums, you have to brush off the dust filter after each use. For some that might be an irritant, so be warned. Also, if you buy the vacuum you will want to buy extra filters for it. The filter can be washed (very gently), but inevitably will wear (but the filtration is excellent). For me, the extra daily minute spent brushing off the filter is nothing compared with the extra ten minutes spent re-vacuuming to pick up the stuff kicked around instead of picked up with my current Eureka. It's surprisingly hard to find a vacuum that is excellent on bare floors.

This is a great little vacuum cleaner. I use it primarily in the hard floor kitchen and on the carpeted stairs, but it's great for a quick cleaning on all the floors. It's light weight, easy to manipulate and has a lot of suction power for its little size with a 2.0 amp motor. The last vacuum I bought was an Oreck, which came with a little hand-held vac. That was over 10 years ago and my back just can't take carrying around the handheld anymore. I still use the larger one for my main vacuum. This little one has really impressed me. It does a much better job on my stairs than my little Oreck, since it has a brush roll and a setting for carpets, it picks up so much more! And did I mention how light it is? It tucks neatly into the closet and even has a cord storage on the handle. The design is simple, but effective. One button to turn on & change from hard floors to carpets, one button to release cup, and one to remove the handle for the handheld option. The only downfall is the electric cord is just 15', but all the other benefits make up for it, tenfold. In fact, its so awesome, I'll be buying a second one for our camper.
