Eureka 71AV

Pros: Powerful suction, long cord with good reach, quiet

Cons: At 5 pounds it's slightly heavy.

The Bottom Line: The little Eureka quickly snarfed up the goodies and sought more challenges. It’s powerful enough to dig around and remove some deeply buried treasures (yesteryears cookies).

Review: Once upon a time a cordless shark attempted to scoop up all sorts of household dirt, but the problem with sharks is that they are not filter feeders. My shark died from congestion and a dead motor. Once he was put to rest I went prospecting and soon ...

Pros: See review

Cons: See review

The Bottom Line: Great suction and good cleaning.  The volume it collects is all the proof you need.

Review: I bought this to replace a Dirt Devil M082123 Handvac that did not cut the mustard (see my review of it).  So far this one looks good.  My first attempt at vacuuming our carpetted stairs with this vacuum after years of using the Dirt Devil ...

Pros: Motor-driven beater brush, re-usable filter, long cord, powerful suction

Cons: Must wait for filter to dry after washing it

The Bottom Line: I don't think there is a better hand-held out there that has a motor-driven brush with powerful suction.

Review: This model is virtually identical to the blue Eureka 70A. We have five animals and two kids in our home. We have a carpet cleaner, a higher-end upright vacuum, a wet-dry vacuum, and we also need a durable hand-held that can effectively clean ...

Pros: Powerful, easy to use, easy to empty, does the job.

Cons: Heavy, corded.

Review: This little Eureka 71A is a must for anyone with shedding pets. Its little rotating bristles do wonders that your regular dust buster cannot. Use in on chairs, on the couch and watch the hairs accumulate in the little clear catching compartment. ...

Pros: Well Designed/Built, Sturdy, Self Contained, Great Cleaning Power. Recommended!

Cons: None.

Review: My rug has never looked better. I bought this vacuum to clean the single 5X7 rug in my small studio apartment. I've had the same Eureka canister vacuum for over 15 years. It does a great job on the rest of the apartment, but the lack of a motorized ...

Pros: Excellent sucking power
Lightweight
Easy to use
Easy to clean
Gets everything

Cons: Sucking power a little too strong for the leather ottoman
Wish it had the brush attachment

Review: I am a pet owner with two german shepherds.  I've purchased everything to help me clean considering I am cleaning almost every day.  I researched the Eureka handheld and decided based on the reviews I'd give it a try.  I found that it ...

Pros: Small and compact. Stores easily in cabinet. Powerful and does not require any recharging.

Cons: Only comes with one filter, cord is a little short

Review: Purchased this to clean the stairs in my house, and I love it! The rotating brush digs out all the dirt (never realized it was so dirty!) ...
