This machine is so cheap and sounds like a fighter jet taking off. I can only describe it with a certain four-letter word...

While they have made great vacuums in the past, Eureka is one brand where I would avoid any of their current models, same thing goes for Hoover, Dirt Devil, and Bissell. Certainly Eureka and Hoover made great vacuums in the past, probably some of the best vacuums you could get, but those days are long gone. |

Actually for what they cost, those aren't horrid vacuums- I picked one out of the trash that had nothing wrong with it, just a bit dirty, and gave it to my Grandma. She needed a really light vacuum and she loves it. Surprisingly powerful, and I didn't think it was terribly loud. Filtration leaves a lot to be desired though, just a single foam pad.

I'll be honest, I don't mind them too much either. Build quality and filtration are bad for sure, but I found the noise level to be on par with many other similarly priced vacs, and I thought they cleaned pretty well. |

Actually the Miele motor sound is not bad, but some of these motors are quite annoying, Dyson and Shark come to mind. |

They don't filter well either. However, cut a synthetic HEPA bag to sit under the foam filter, and very little dust should be getting into the motor. I tried this a while back on one I had and it didn't restrict airflow much. For what they are, their cleaning ability and airflow are both quite good.
