Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka LightSpeed Upright Vacuum, Bagless, 4700DCustomer Review: ELEGANT ENGINEERING MAKES THIS ONE THE BEST Summary: 5 Stars
This review is intended for the 4700 series as pictured here with the see-through dustcontainer! It is a joy to use and simplicity in every way. And the engineers used sheer genius in its plain and simple design. My hard use might tend to make the automatic shut-off come into play, when years of cat hair or whatever clogged the filter on first use, but I do not expect that to happen again, as I have no cat. It was a previous owner and years of no vacuuming which caused it. If you do have the motor turn off, wait the half hour as recommended, hey take a break and read a good book from the amazon, and then start her up again. But be sure before you rest the on/off pedal is in the off position or the motor might not realize it is recovering and not start up again. Also unplug and then be certain to PLUG IT BACK IN!
Notice the no-clog hose.
I finally had to give up on my beloved Eureka HEPA filtered after yeaers of very hard usage finally made that right angle turn where the hose hits the floor and forward to the brushes constantly blocked. I got tired of dismantling the tiny hard to reach screws and prying out the collected dirt and dust and hair and such. I must confess: I used and abused my former Eureka, including in the potting soil corner, and have paid the price.
Now I discover very inexpensively and with elegant simplicity this wonderfully engineered marvel.
Notice again the no-clog hose. Rather than the hidden right angle turn at the bottom, the hose comes straight out, and is easily detached at the bottom for clearing, which is unnecessary in any case. Rather than a multitude of filters to be replaced at great cost every few months, there is one, which rinses off with water. And instead of a whole bunch of attachments falling off the main stand, there are the basics, no more, no less, including generously long wands to attach to the generously long hose.
And the most powerful engine available, at full bore, blasting up the floor, under this light weight yet poweful tool.
Check out the interesting engineering of floor clearance. Rather than estimating carpet shag, or whether you will pass mainly over bare floor and low carpet, and thus struggling to turn a hard to reach clearance dial with stiff fingers, you just hit the engagement foot pedal and the clearance automatically adjusts to the present floor conditions, and continues to do so on the fly as you pass from condition to condition, from rug to linoleum. And when the machine is ready to rest, however unwillingly like a young colt ready to run some more but being put away early to stable, restoring it to the upright condition raises it to a clearance high enough to roll into storage.
The handle can be easily and effectively lowered for reaching under tables and even beds, and the powerful headlight really makes visuals ineluctably bright.
The engineers at Eureka have really designed an effective and useful tool in this one, with elegant simplicity of use and of maintenance. Assembly was also a breeze and a joy with one screwdriver.
This is the one to get. Never mind those cheapo shop vacs with lousy plastic attachments; never mind those much more expensive rigs seductively and bizarrely promising continuous suction. This is the one. Take my advice, freely given. You may even thank me for it. Or let me come over and dump dirt on your carpet and show you how great a machine this is. A joy to use. I can't wait for the carpet to fill up with dust again!
Makes vacuuming a contemplative prayer of spiritual cleansing.
Further strong points for this vac, for those who do not yet believe in it, please notice the handy handle near the base which makes vacuuming up stairs easier, especially considering the sturdy yet lightweight of this vacuum. Also notice the ease of removing and emptying the dirtbag (I know it is more of a canister but dirtbag is a great word) and of rinsing out the filter. I did have a few moments puzzle putting the dirtbag back on but that will soon become second nature. I also must admit to not having used the staircleaning feature as I have no stairs here in the desert.
Description of Eureka LightSpeed Upright Vacuum, Bagless, 4700DEureka LightSpeed  Multiple height adjustment can adjust to clean all floor surfaces in the home Ideal for vacuuming quickly and efficiently. Lightweight and inexpensive yet solidly constructed, the Eureka 4700D LightSpeed offers an excellent value in a full-size upright vacuum. The cheerful yellow unit is easy to push and maneuver, offers powerful, 12-amp suction, and even uses micro-filtration to capture dust mites, pollen, and pet dander for cleaner, healthier indoor air, whether you have allergies or not. Like other bag less models, the LightSpeed eliminates the expense and hassle of disposable vacuum cleaner bags, using instead an easily accessible, easily-emptied dirt cup that's transparent so you can see when it's full. The filter needs to be cleaned often, especially if you have pets, to get the best results. This is also common with other bag less vacuum models. In the case of the Eureka LightSpeed, there's only one filter to clean and it's easily washable, simplifying the process considerably.  No-tip design cleans your stairs easily while your vacuum stays upright Quick Cleaning. Lightweight. In keeping with its simple, versatile design, the LightSpeed comes with just the right amount of onboard tools: a crevice tool for corners and baseboards, dusting brush for upholstery and blinds, and extra-long, nested extension wand for added reach. All of these attach to an integrated large-diameter hose designed to resist clogging and help keep the unit from tipping when it's pulled. (The hose detaches rather easily, but this comes in handy in case it does need to be cleared.) A grip on top near the base aids in cleaning stairs or upholstery, while the handle lowers almost flat to vacuum under low furniture. Other features include a powerfully bright headlight and an automatic height adjuster, which accommodates surfaces ranging from linoleum to deep pile without ever touching a switch. Weighing in at just 14 pounds, the Eureka 4700D LightSpeed measures 12-3/4 inches wide by 12 inches long by 42-1/2 inches tall; it is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Product Accessories Nested Crevice Tool and Extension Wand: Use for baseboards and corners. First, loosen the end of the hose. Grasp crevice tool and wand near ridges and pull apart. Turn the ridge end to center and push crevice tool into wand and place on end of hose. Dusting Brush: Use for furniture, drapes and vents. First loosen the end of the hose. Place dusting brush on end of hose, wand or crevice tool.  Allergen filtration reduces allergens while vacuuming for a quick clean  Quick access hose cleans upholstery and hard-to-reach spaces quickly and easily  Flip-Bottom Dust Cup allows you to dispose of dust and dirt easily in one no-hassle, quick flip.  Cleans powerfully with a 12-amp motor
