eureka WhirlWind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight Vac for Carpets and Hard Floors, Blue

For years now I’ve been killing upright bag/ then bagless vacuums every 12-18 months. For context I have terribly expired carpet and two long haired cats. I’ve tried everything, every brand, but eventually they all bite the dust around the same time. I decided the try out a canister vac because I grew up with this style in the 80s and I thought that the lack of rotating brush might make a big difference. Boy was I right! First off this vac is easy to carry around and maneuver - no more lugging and pushing. Also - it gets into spaces the upright could never reach. What about the cat hair you may ask? With no rotating brush how does it do with that? It picks it up! And then any extra that gets stuck on the pads on the bottom - I flip it - pull it off and into the tube it’s sucked away. Easy clean up. No hacking at the rotating brush with scissors cutting hair off. The carpet looks amazing. I actually want to vacuum again. The retractable cord is quick and does not get caught up yet. Easy to dump the canister and keep going. Lightweight and flexible. I’m never going back to an upright again. If this one dies - I’ll update you and I’ll be investing in a nicer canister vacuum. Even though we grew up fairly modest there was reason my Mom had an expensive canister vacuum- it just took me till my mid-40s to figure it out! This is a great investment for a first time canister vacuum. So far so good!

This vacuum really picks up, and works well on carpet and bare floor. It is light, and easy to use.

Worked good for a bit. Use for a travel trailer. Does ok.

Excellent for the price. Pros: Cleans as well as the overpriced Dyson it replaces. Light, easy to maneuver, with nice feature of building the small brush attachments into the handle so you never have to find them or lose them. Brilliant! Bagless canister very easy and quick to empty, and less messy than the dead Dyson. Cons: -3 point wheel base makes it easy to tip over with normal motions. Good news is it doesnt shut off when that happens. - The toggle for floor/carpet is convenient on top of floor attachment, but sticks up in floor mode, making it get stuck under sofas and furniture. Very annoying when you try to vacuum UNDER things. Easy redesign to fix by making a sliding toggle instead of seesaw design - The nice retractable self winding cord is much shorter than expected, which limits the reach. I have to reposition plug 5 times to do one level of house, when the previous vacuum only needed two times. Easy and cheap fix for Eureka..should be a recall.

My house has tile floors throughout and no stairs. This vacuum works great. Its easy to empty with no filters or bags to worry about. Its also easy to store. Thumbs up.

Excellent for the price

electric cord should be 5ft, longer

Bought a house with tile floors and this light weight vacuum does the job and easy to clean canister. I only have a few throw rugs to clean its ok on those but great on hard surface. No accessories to fall off while you use it they are all part of the vacuum

It is powerful enough when the cup is empty. Not so much when it is full. Empty often. Wish there was a crevice tool included. Otherwise it is handy. I use it as a supplemental vacuum in the bedroom.

Only one attachment is usable with the tube extended. It seems heavy-duty and generally heavy. The suction is excellent.
