Exactly what I needed.

Reviewer: T. Szczepanski,
I purchased this vacuum when I got tired of lugging out the big vac to keep up with dog hair and kid crumbs. Sweeping just made things worse by making the dog hair fly around instead of helping.

So, solution...a lightweight cordless vac WITH a small duster for sofas. This vacuum has been perfect for our family. The battery lasts long enough (10-15 minutes) for me to relatively thoroughly clean the kitchen floor and then the other 3 rooms that are wood floors. The dog hair and crumbs are picked up between thorough floor cleanings which is exactly the thing I needed. The removeable "dustbuster" is perfect for crumbs and hair on furniture and in tighter corners. This vacuum is not meant to be the end all vacuum for your house. It is perfect for the 1-2 times a day you may want to keep doghair and crumbs in check. I leave this vacuum in the laundry room plugged is so it is always ready to go.

There is an unexpected added bonus...my boys LOVE to use it! It is the perfect weight and height (with the handle down) for kids! They get it out and put it away on their own. I rarely let them sweep with a broom because it just made more work for me, but now I have to keep them from fighting over it:)

So, if dog hair and dirt acculumate quickly in your house and you dread pulling out the big vac to keep up and sweeping frustrates you, this is the vacuum for you.
Good for quick pick ups

I have the purple model given to me as a gift and I think it works great for what it is supposed to do. It is NOT meant as your one and only vaccuum. I have a Dyson for serious cleaning but with 2 kids and a dog I have to have something lightweight and quick to use for spilled crumbs and tracked in dirt. Perfect for those quick jobs on the floor and works better than expected on low-pile carpet. Plus since it is so lightweight I can carry it upstairs to our one bonus room - a Dyson is not easy to lug up stairs.
Cons: The dirt cup fills pretty quickly, but once again this is not a problem if it is only being used a minute at a time for "touch ups". I was disappointed the battery life does not last very long but I just know to charge it often so it is always handy. Nothing battery powered ever seems to last as long as it should.
I used to use my broom and dustpan several times a day and this has replaced that and given me a little extra power for rugs and stairs. I'm happy with it.
Does what it is supposed to.

I got the purple one (model number 109A, which is exclusive to the red big box nationwide stores. They are the same except for the color). The store had four of this kind (2-in-1 cordless). This one was second lowest priced model there, $30 more than the cheapest one and $40 less than the most expensive one. The two in the middle were only $10 apart.

To be perfectly honest with you, I was disappointed at first when I turned it on and put my hand over the mouth of the vacuum. I did not feel much suction that way at all. I have a corded stick vac (Sanyo RotoSweeper which I love) and that was much more powerful. However once you get rolling with this item, it did pick up quite a bit of dirt, a spilt cereal, etc., just as they claim.

I especially like the stairs vac feature. The handle is retractable, so the vacuum will be so much shorter while still assembled. It makes the cleanng stairs a breeze. I like the way it stores the crevice tool too. It is hiding behind the hand vac. The motorized brash seems to work well too, as it did dug up a lot of dust and dirt (which I didn't even know there were) from carpeted areas. although it is not very powerful. If it has trouble spinning, the carpet might be too thick or tall for this vac anyway.

I like this vacuum for the job it is supposed to do, and that is NOT all the jobs full size vacuums do. If you are looking for your first (and/or only) vacuum cleaner in your household, this is NOT the one you want. If you want the lighter, smaller vacuum, go with a good, corded one. It will be much more powerful and you could get by with one of those (the Sanyo I have had been my only vacuum for a long time since my student days. I now have a Dyson and this Eureka at home, and the Sanyo at my studio). Ideally get a serious full size vacuum AND this Eureka, and you will cover most, if not all, of your needs. Cordless vacuum is convenient for quick pick up. This one easily convert to a hand vac for your countertop and automobile. And this vacuum is good for such purposes.
Like it, nice for quick pickups

Reviewer: C. Hansen,
When you first get the vaccuum it needs to be charged for at least 24 hours. I let mine charge for two days and have not had a problem with it. I also leave it plugged in all the time cause I use it at least once a day. I have 3 dogs and hardwood floors so there is a lot of dog hair to clean up. It is so easy to take out this vaccuum and do spot cleaning. I like that it is handheld so I can easily do the stairs or clean my car. This won't take the place of your regular vaccuum but does great to quickly clean up floors and rugs.
Basically a dust buster on a stick

I also purchased the purple one at the red box store. After charging for the 14 hours recommended, I turned it on and immediately had problems with the power button. It has 3 settings - off - flat surface- carpet. It didn't want to kick on with the flat surface, but moving up to carpet booted it up and then I dialed it back to flat surface.

At first I was pleasantly surprised. It did great on the vinyl and hardwoods but when I tried to use it on the area rug, the carpet spinning brushes wouldn't engage. Didn't work on the rug at all. And it's a very low pile rug.

I took out the hand vac and used the crevice tool for my stairs and it didn't have any problems. Though the dust bunnies did tend to clog up the crevice tool which blocked the suction.

I was thinking this is going great when the battery died. I figured I got 15-20 minutes out of this battery. That's it. We'll see how long it lasts on the second charge.

For quick cleanups. It's ok. but it really is just a dust buster on a stick. You aren't getting a lot of power there and the battery time so far is very disappointing. You might do better having a corded stick vac (I like the Hoover S2220 Flair Bagless Upright Stick, though that one broke on me too) and a hand held vac.
