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

I have a small apartment with tile floors but 4 cats. I love this little vacuum! I love the canister and the ability to see what I may have sucked up from under the couch! It has a few very cool features for carpet and for floor! Perfect for my little homestead! And worth every penny!

Excellent for the price. Pros: Cleans as well as the overpriced Dyson it replaces. Light, easy to maneuver, with nice feature of building the small brush attachments into the handle so you never have to find them or lose them. Brilliant! Bagless canister very easy and quick to empty, and less messy than the dead Dyson. Cons: -3 point wheel base makes it easy to tip over with normal motions. Good news is it doesnt shut off when that happens. - The toggle for floor/carpet is convenient on top of floor attachment, but sticks up in floor mode, making it get stuck under sofas and furniture. Very annoying when you try to vacuum UNDER things. Easy redesign to fix by making a sliding toggle instead of seesaw design - The nice retractable self winding cord is much shorter than expected, which limits the reach. I have to reposition plug 5 times to do one level of house, when the previous vacuum only needed two times. Easy and cheap fix for Eureka..should be a recall.

I bought this Eureka canister vac after struggling with a standing Bissell for years. While the Bissell seems well-equipped for carpets, it (to my frustration) blew dog hair around on our hard floors, and tossed back out bits and crumbs instead of actually sucking them up. My parents recommended a canister vac for hard floors, so I decided to try this one as it was low cost and I could return it through Amazon should it not work out. Thankfully, after unboxing and using it to vacuum all of our hard floors today, I am pleased beyond belief that it indeed sucks up pet hair (the bane of my existence) with ease. It is also small and light. The dust cup is easy to empty after use, and it is satisfying to see all its sucked up in one go. I came across a wad of threads from a rope toy my dogs play with, and the Eureka sucked it right up, and I saw it immediately in the dust cup with the rest of the debris it had collected. Our Bissell could never. The swiveling head is convenient for getting into spaces our Bissell couldnt reach. The retractable cord is a blessing, though I wouldnt have minded the cord being a bit longer -- but it isnt a hardship to plug it into a different outlet as I go. It also seems a bit quieter than our Bissell. The on/off button is easy to tap with my foot, though you want to press it all the way, or else it will only start to come on or off but return back to its previous setting when you release the button. This is not a problem though, more of a tip to press it firmly enough for it to register. The Eureka has the best qualities of my parents old canister vacuum and the newer style vacuums, in that it is excellent at picking up hair and debris on hard floors, but is also less cumbersome and bagless. One feature of many canister vacs that deterred me was their needing bag refills. With the Eureka, thats not an issue! Overall I would recommend the Eureka to others with hard floors who struggle with pet hair. Our dogs shed year-round, and their fur is by far the biggest obstacle I have faced in vacuuming our floors. This vac makes eliminating dog hair easy. It does the simple task I ask of a vacuum: to suck up dust, fur and crumbs from the hard floors. Since I have only used this vac once, I will keep my eyes peeled for issues in the future. I am hopeful that it will stay a reliable cleaning tool for years to come.

This my second vacuum of the same model . First one lasted ~4yrs with daily usage. This one seems as good as the first, but they put a shorter cord on it which is inconvenient. If you like a lot of attachments this isn’t the vacuum for you

Ok, this just arrived and I was in desperate need of a vacuum, so I gave it a go today. It is a fairly inexpensive vacuum, so I wasn’t expecting a Dyson or something, but I like some of the features. While it’s definitely not the fanciest thing out there, but it seems to suit my needs for pet clean-up. 1. It’s was easy to put together and immediately start using. 2. It’s light weight and portable, rolling easily behind me or easily able to pick up to take to a different room. Some people may get annoyed at the short cord and the floor attachment, but it works for me. I LOVE the retractable cord. One thing I usually hate doing is wrapping up the cord after cleaning it moving to a different room and cordless vacuums just aren’t usually powerful enough. Which brings me to #3. 3. It has fairly powerful suction and a large enough opening for larger debris (like cat litter and chewed up dog toys). Again, some people might get annoyed at the small canister size, but I’m using it to clean up fur and messes, so I don’t mind emptying it right after I clean an area. There are also canisters that are slightly easier to dump because you have to remove the top filter in order to be able to dump it, but a minor inconvenience. 4. Your back may hurt from having to bend down to do it, but the floor attachment is so slim and rotates just right to be able to REALLY get underneath furniture. This feature is almost the best part for me because I normally can’t get the fur that collects under dressers, beds, couches, etc.

This little vacuum works great for tile floors (& for the rugs I have in my kitchen). Note: It does NOT work well for carpet. At first, that was a disappointment! But then, I realized how much I appreciate this vacuum for the things it CAN do! It is so lightweight, portable, convenient to carry to different parts of the house. It is easier for me to sweep the tile floors in our house using this vacuum than it is using a broom. Works fabulous for that! The canister is SO easy to pop in and out to empty when full. Love the retractable power cord! Great feature!

Excellent for the price

Absolutely love this! I needed a powerful vacuum for my sofas and pillows ( my dog sheds ) this little vacuum is mighty and easy to carry and minuver. Great for cleaning lampshades too!!!!

Love this little vacuum! Great suction and power, moves around easily and container empties easily. It’s great and fantastic price

Very good suction (pet-free household), works well on hard and carpeted floors, super easy to clean, loving the in-built brush to reach narrow spaces, optimal cord length (can do a large room without reconnecting). Key drawback- wobbly attachment of the wand/tube, doesn’t sit tight, gets disconnected easily (you can work around it, but the design could certainly be improved).
