Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 2997AZ Uno Bagless Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: frustrating experience
Summary: 1 Stars
This has been the most unhappy vacuum-owning experience of my life. After two terrible years with this product, I am literally throwing it away and starting over. There is a design or production flaw with this vacuum. Mine does not seem to be the only lemon out there, according to the other reviews, so I'm calling it a design flaw.
For the majority of times that I've used this vacuum, almost nothing ends up in the cup. It's still picking up stuff from the carpet, but it never reaches the cup, getting stuck in the hose. You end up with this long, compacted caterpillar of dust and hair and debris that you have to physically remove from the hose yourself, with your hands and a long crotchet hook. It's disgusting, not to mention the hazard of having a motor have to work hard enough to pull air through that caterpillar; the unit becomes very hot. I actually watched the gunk being pulled into the cup and then flying right back up into the hose, where it begins to form an obstruction. I would like to mail this vacuum back to its designers in pieces.
In addition to this horrendous problem, you have two additional filters that constantly need to be cleaned (like every other time you use it,) one of which flies off the machine on a regular basis (like twice a session, and yesterday, right after I had cleaned it.) You don't want to clean those small filters before you have had your shower, because you're about to have a dust, and, no doubt, dust mite, coating added to your exterior. I am not overstating my difficulties with this machine; I would feel guilty selling it in a garage sale for ten bucks. Perhaps they have addressed these flaws in their new models?? I wouldn't chance it.
My wife wrote the above part. Let me just sum it all up: this unit sucks . . . er, no it doesn't, and that's the problem.Eureka 2997AZ Uno Bagless Upright Vacuum
