A VERY nice vacuum for the money...
Probably the best bagged vacuum you are going to find for its price range. As mentioned above, the air flow is great, along with its large fill tubes, and the dirt not having to travel threw the hose before entering the bag like most vacuums. I found a used one for $6 at a thrift store and I honestly couldn't be more impressed!

Highly rated by Consumer Reports for at least five years.....ever since Eureka started making them. The only complaint they had was that it was hard to pull due to the way it grabs the carpet.
I love the fact that Eureka gives you proper "adult-size" attachments on board! They are actually the very same tools you used to get on the World Vac canisters. Love the separate classic Eureka dusting brush and upholstery nozzle - though I think the clips to hold the upholstery nozzle are too wimpy and if you don't store the nozzle properly, it can easily fall off. The dusting brush has a very secure little cubby hole though! Many people have complained that the brush roll on-off switch is hard to move and seems very prone to breaking. There seems to be a magical way to get it to shift into place but there is no hint given on the vac base to remind you how to set this properly (move switch with handle down, or handle up - not sure what the correct method is). Do other users have problems adjusting this switch? | ||

My first Smartvac needed a good grip with your thumb to "snap" the brushroll switch into place. My newer one doesn't require as much effort but still needs a good grip with your thumb to turn it off. It's not the easiest to use switch but it's not worth complaining about either. | ||

this one.... it requires you to push the lever thingy back hard but it sticks in place very well. BEST upright vacuum cleaner i have used. Uprights I have used: Kirby Generation 3, Kirby Heritage 2 Legend, Hoover Decade 80, Sanitaire S648, Panasonic Jet-Flo, | ||

Don't let the Smartvac fool you... It can't outclean my Sanitaire SC888, Kirby Heritage, or Hoover guardsman. But it does groom much better then all of those. | ||
