Great Vacuum
Eureka EasyClean Hand Held Vacuum 71B
We have the large Eureka Boss and love it, but needed something smaller for quick pickups. After reading the reviews here, we decided to try this.
What a wonderfully powerful little guy this is! The cord is nice and long and the suction is amazing. It's compact, you can use the base or the nozzle with an attachment. I haven't tried the big vac's attachments on it, but they look like they would fit too.
I whip it out after baking, when flour is all over the place; after grooming our shih-tzu, when her fur is all over; when leaves blow in the window; for small spills; when my husband builds things that leave wood shavings around; whatever! We plan to use it in our car this weekend, which is much needed.
It's great. The small filter seems to clean easily and seems longlasting.
I highly recommend this powerful minivac for quick uses.

Wow! This thing REALLY works! I could not believe what nastiness this thing picked up immediately AFTER I vacuumed with my Dirt Devil Vacuum! There was so much dust/dirt that the Eureka picked up that I got on my hands and knees and "hand-vacuumed" my entire room! It was amazing! I am so impressed with this tiny guy that I'm buying one for my mom! This is great for the couch and dusty furniture!
And I love how it plugs in and doesn't "charge" on batteries. All of those rechargable vacuums use their power by one year. I love the long cord and the power this baby has! I love love love it!
I purchased this with only one real use in mind. Cleaning cat hair off of our furniture.
Well this thing works great. We could not believe what it pulled out even after using our fullsize machine.
I had been thinking about buying the Dyson Animal because of the rotary brush attachment but it seems most reviews of it basically called it useless for furniture, its vacuum driven and doesn't spin if much force is applied.
The rotary brush on this machine is power driven and does the job well.

I got this vacuum to clean my three flights of stairs that are always dirty. We have three kids and a dog. My 8 year old son started cleaning the stairs and he said, "Hey, Mom! This thing Rocks!!". He was right. My stairs finally look clean and we did them all in half the time it took with our upright cannister vacuum. I am very pleased. Whoever designed this thing should get a bonus check.
I'm shocked at how well this little vacuum works. After vacuuming with my expensive German-made vacuum, I used this machine over the same area. I could not believe how much dog hair and dust this handheld unit picked up! I did one bedroom floor and had to empty the handheld canister four times.
Besides the suction power, the things I like best in this vacuum are the attached hose and clever storage for the crevice tool (inserted into the base of the vacuum). I also really like the flip up guard over the roller that lets you get the vertical rise on the stairs without having to do contortions.
The only thing I think could have been done better is the handle. A more ergonomic design would be more comfortable----especially since I am going a little nuts with it now on the entire house.
If you are looking for a hand-held vac that has a powerful beater bar look no further. Great for stairs and furniture! We have 3 cats and it works great to pick up all the hair they shed. We used to have a Shark hand-held very similar to this but the motor burned up and couldn't find a replacement in stores anywhere. Luckily we finally found this one!
I'd planned to get the small Dyson, but the reviews of this vacuum persuaded me to give it a try. It's absolutely excellent. It's the best handheld vacuum I've ever tried, and I've thrown more of these things away than I can remember. Fortunately, I've always saved the attachments. Sometimes they fit another model, sometimes they don't. Since there's no fancy coupling required to attach tools to the hose end of this one, its just friction, most fit it.
This is a solid, powerful vacuum. The filter is heavy-duty and seems very durable. It's easily removed and reattached. I use those over-priced compressed air duster cans to blow all the dust and dog hair off of the filter. Between this and my full-size Dyson, there's probably more of the family dog outside the house than in by now. As for the weight of this machine, it is a little heavy, but then I only have to support its weight when doing vertical surfaces or carrying it around. When it's vacuuming stairs and furniture, I let the horizontal surfaces support most of the weight.
Everything about this machine suggests its maker really put a lot of thought and effort into making an absolutely excellent product. And, I commend them for packaging it in protective plastic that can be easily removed without knives, pliers, bolt cutters, or a chain saw. The engineering on this one was obviously thoughtful and thorough.
I have a cat. The cat has fur.
I bought the Eureka EZ-Kleen to get the fur off the furniture.
Did it ever.
I was slackjawed with amazement to see the sheer amount of cat hair the little machine got up off visually pristine sofas and carpets. While Kitty does not have the Olympic shedding capabilities of my late hound dog, she still produces about an inch of vacuum cleaner fill per day.
This is a great little machine and I will recommend it from the housetops.
