Eureka Whirlwind Plus 3277AVZX

I've used this vacuum for a long time now, but I finally decided to post it here.

This fairly recent vacuum is used in one of the portables of my job. I'm in a "transition program" for young adults with special needs.

Overall, this vacuum works great! It's relatively quiet and has powerful suction. The cleaning path is 15 inches wide, so it'll cover large areas more quickly. The attachment selection is quite nice, too. There's a "Power Paw" stair and upholstery turbo brush, an extension wand, long crevice tool, dusting brush and even a self-cleaning telescopic duster! You can take out this duster to dust surfaces. Once you're done, you place it back into the vacuum, flip a lever and the duster will then spin itself clean! That's a neat feature.

This vacuum definitely has flaws though. It's single cyclonic with a pleated filter, so it'll lose suction over time. Although I changed the belt 2 1/2 years ago, the vacuum gives off a slight smell of burning rubber. However, if you can get past these problems, it's a great vacuum.

Has anybody ever used one?

Checkrate/Likes For the belt 2 1/2 years is a pretty good life. Do you vacuum mostly low pile carpet? I have seen the duster, some say they work ok, others not. It was a good idea.

Checkrate/Likes *Yes* I always vacuum low pile commercial carpeting with this vacuum. I don't use the duster, though. But it is fun to flip the lever and watch it clean itself!
