eureka WhirlWind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight Vac for Carpets and Hard Floors, Blue

My vacuum that’s supposed to be multi-surface just blew stuff around on the hardwood floor but did fine in carpet or area rugs. My new house is all wood floors, but I also have rugs everywhere. I vacuumed two rooms with the Eueka and got an inch of dust and dirt and whatnot in the canister. I cannot wait to vacuum the rest of my house!!! I’ll take pictures and update soon.

People complained about not doing throw rugs but right by your hand is an airflow adjustment for all floors and it works well when open for my throw rugs. I wish the adjustment lever were tighter because sometimes is opens when I have it closed and my hand pushes it. Also on the roller head is a clip, push it and the underside lifts for carpets. Someone complained that the metal section comes off, well I cant see how that can happen if you lock it into place. The vac is perfect for people with long hair, no rollers and brush to get hair wound on. It is light but I wish the attached crevice brush tool was removable to place on the end of the longer pipe to clean my bath vents. The only thing I dont like is it needs another tool for upholstery and the pipe alone is difficult for ceiling spider webs the pipe would scratch the paint, the included tool is just not right for ceilings it needs a brush but maybe I can find one. It is easy to use, love the cord rewind, easy to pull the tank off and easy to empty it. The tool included does swivel all the way round so it worked flat under the bed.

I fought my wife in getting this vacuum. We already have a shark duo which does hardwood and carpet. Plus, we have a large push duster for the fine particles for hardwood floor. We have all hardwood throughout the entire house, dusting on a regular basis is pretty much every weekend job. Weve owned a Kirby, which I really like but they are bulky and heavy and its a pain changing out the attachments no matter how quick and simple it may seem. The one thing though is that the Kirby had great suction. Sadly, the wife hated it, and my sole defense of the great vacuum wasnt enough to save it from the Goodwill pile. So, we got the Shark Duo, which I also love has great cleaning power great on hardwood, tile, and carpet. When we moved into our new home which is 100% hardwood throughout my wife thought the shark wasnt getting the fine particles. We got new rollers for it and I thought it worked great. But sadly she wanted something that really could get between the grooves. So, she bought this Eureka Whirlwind which I thought was a waste and wouldnt be that great. Especially for the price she paid. After the first few days, I was amazed. This really has very strong suction and has a hard bristle which is very effective in getting things that are harder to vacuum up but without scratching the wood floor. I had some drywall work and typically none of the vacuums have really handled the drywall dust all that well. This little thing did a great job. My only complaint is that the filter seems a little flimsy, but it says its washable. Which we tested and it held up under the sink getting washed out. If youre vacuuming really fine particles, youll need to clean the filter more often as that will affect how strong a suction youll get. After a while it started making a slight whrip sound at start up, but I think it was due to the dry wall dust. After cleaning it really good it quit making that whrip sound at start up. The auto cord rewind is a great feature, and the big rear wheel really does make it easy to maneuver. Stair vacuuming is a cinch with this little thing. I do wish the hose was just a little bit longer, may be another 5 feet or so. I cant say enough great things about this vacuum for hardwood floors. Very impressed. I hope this helps anyone thinking about this little vacuum.

My title is all you need to know, it has no instructions with it

Vacuum made of plastic. Not the good old metal ones from years ago with better suction power. Real lightweight to carry or wheel around. I like the retractable power cord. Great for stairs as you can carry it with your hand as it has a hand grip.

The suction is amazing I was able to get the pet hair off everything… my house now looks like who got pets!

Updated Review: After struggling with this thing to vacuum my cellar two or three times, I replaced the broken hose on my Hoover and went back to using that on my cellar floor. This vacuum is just too much work for me to use, maintain, and store. Ive retired it to a corner, where it will sit until I can find another home for it. Original review: I bought this to replace my Hoover commercial portapower hand vacuum, the plastic stretch hose on which broke in two at the handle after three years of intermittent use. So, I decided to try something different. The hose on this does not stretch, a plus for me. Ive only used it once so far to vacuum my hardwoods, area rugs, and cement cellar floor. Will take some getting used to. The suction on this thing is phenomenal, due in part to the design of the floor attachment, which is flat and hugs the floor. I read the instructions and experimented with all the settings and combinations on both hardwoods and flat pile area rugs. It works well on my hardwoods using the carpet settings. The hardwood setting hugs the floor too tightly, making it difficult to move. The carpet setting works on no pile area rugs only if you pull the wand towards you. If you try to push it forward, it gets hung up on the carpet, regardless of how you use the settings. It does not work at all on my pile carpets. The hose is a bit cumbersome because its pretty stiff, but Im tall and I can work with it. So, I finished vacuuming and even though the dirt cup was only half full, I decided to empty and wash it. Unfortunately, the dirt cup does not separate from the foam filter housing (you can remove the foam filter, but not the housing), so to wash either one they both get wet. And, when I checked the foam filter, it was filthy and required washing as well. Very cumbersome to work with. Currently, the entire housing and filter are laying in front of my baseboard heater trying to dry. I got this to use on my cement cellar floors, and it appears to be fine for that using the carpet settings. Picks up cat litter, dust, and small debrs. There is a small brush for upholstery, but no decent crevice tool, which I need to clean my dryer screen housing and vents. I do like the retractable cord and that the wand attaches to the machine for storage. I also like that it has wheels and I can easily pull the vacuum behind me. Ill use it for a bit and see if I can work with its shortcomings. I like to keep my vacuum dirt cup clean with each using. Not sure how well that will go because cleaning and drying is a time eater and I have no sink in my basement. Just not a good fit for me.

Even though I have a Hoover upright (Wind Tunnel) for my flat carpeted floors, it needs a bag, its loud, it doesnt have good suction and definitely a hassle on carpeted stairs which I now have with a recent move. This little vacuum is perfect and the price is right also. Adjusts for use on hardwood floors. It is lightweight, maneuvers well, easy to clean and dump the dirt (no bag!!) The assembly is super quick and the suction is awesome. I would recommend for stairs but maybe not the whole carpeted house, just because it has such good suction it makes it slow going but it would be a great workout!

I OWNED A DYSON BEFORE IT WENT CAPOOP, THIS NEW VACUUM HAS MORE SUCTION THEN MY OLD DYSON. EXCELLENT FOR WOOD FLOORS AND TILE...

great cost benefit.
