Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka LightSpeed Upright Vacuum, Bagless, 4700D
Customer Review: Good vacuum for the price and size.
Summary: 4 Stars
I was pleasantly surprized by how well this vacuum works. It took about 10 minutes to assemble the vacuum, which requires only a screwdriver. The vacuum is quite light and powerful for it's size. It works very well on my low-pile shag carpet. It sucks up cat fur, dust and dirt very effectively. One reviewer stated that the exhaust air blows out toward the front, blowing away things one is trying to vacuum. This is possible, but probably only if one is trying to vacuum up very light or fluffy objects on a hard surface. I didn't have this trouble on my carpet and linoleum floor with the typical kitchen debris that needs to be vacuumed. The bagless cannister is very easy to empty, and takes only a few seconds to remove from the machine, remove the lid with a quick twist, and dump the contents into the garbage. The cannister is clear too, so its easy to know when the cannister is full. The cannister is not very large though, so this machine would not be good for someone trying to keep a large house clean. Overall, I'm impressed at how convienent and powerful this vacuum performs for my 1200 square foot condo.Customer Review: Great for carpet BUT blows hair, dust & dirt bunnies around on hard floors
Summary: 3 Stars
I only write reviews for products that I wish I had been warned about before I purchased them. This vacuum has a lot of great points, including being lightweight, extremely easy to maneuver, having a powerful suction, and being only 13" wide so as to fit between my 18 dining and chairs and barstools without having to move them. The first time I used the vacuum it was on carpet and I was very pleased. However, today I tried to vacuum my kitchen, breakfast area, and foyer (ceramic tile) and noticed that dust bunnies and stray hairs were actually flying all over in the air! I took a good look at my new vacuum and discovered that the exhaust jetstream turbo vents were located - of all places - in the front of the vacuum - the exhaust vents powerfully in the same direction as you are vacuuming! I do need more exercise; just didn't think that I would get it having to constantly chase down dust bunnies as they sail around in the air. LOL I guess I'm going to move this vacuum to my small completely carpeted 1000 ft. bonus area upstairs and go ahead and invest in a Dyson, which also has a 13" cleaning path width.Customer Review: iz it working??
Summary: 2 Stars
i bought this because it had a bare floor adjustment.
i have mostly hardwood floors. covered by area rugs.
this is the 4th "bagless" i've bought in less than 2 years.
works great the first time until it gets filled up with dog fur.
they all end up in the trash. i hate cleaning them.
the belt in this one burnt out in less than SIX MONTHS !!
ridiculous....
the dirt and dog hair gets STUCK in the tunnel and i can't
seem to clean it all out. my dryer vent is easier to clean out than these bagless things !! and i shouldn't have to pay $60 to have it cleaned every month either !! so, no more sucking power and
all my dirt goes spitting out the bottom of the unit back onto the floor
for me to sweep up. back to square one. hose is definitely not long enough to reach up into corners and ceiling fans.
it was a complicated assembly. heavy.
i, too, have a problem with the hose remaining stuck in where
it is supposed to be. last bagless i'll buy because they all
work the same and not up to my standards.
Customer Review: Works well, WHEN it works
Summary: 1 Stars
It works well, when it works. It does a good job of sucking dirt out of the carpet, WHEN IT WORKS. It's easy to put together, lightweight, stores easily because of it's size. Problem is it overheats and shuts itself down. I cannot vacuum my entire 900 sq ft house without it shutting down at least once. Then it takes 45 minutes or longer for the motor to cool down enough to restart. The hose clogs much to easily. The filter is too close to the outer edge of the dust cup so fur and hair very easily balls up and does not allow passage into the bottom of the cup. You wind up emptying it when the cup is only half full from the top down. The hose design is very poor. Where it connects to the base it is very easily dislodged, just by bumping it, and it then spews the dirt it's just sucked up onto your feet rather than directing it through the hose. The cord is not long enough. The attachments are usless as there is not enough suction through the hose to pick up ANYTHING.
Mine died after less than four months. Very poor design, cheaply made. I do not recommend it.
Customer Review: Very good value for money.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this vacuum cleaner for use in small houses. I live in a two bedroom townhouse, and I needed to empty out the dust holder a few times, while doing the entire house. Its very easy to use, and comes with a very long cord. The setup instructions are also pretty simple. Its easy to carry around the house. This is the first vacuum cleaner I bought, but I have used other vacuum cleaners before, and I would recommend this over most cleaner. It does not overheat. However, be careful with any polythene or any sticky materials being sucked in. It heats very fast when that happens. The only problem I found with this cleaner is that when you the nozzle, you need to remove the tube from the sucking system below. Then, if the floor is not yet perfectly clean, you get dust being kicked up by the that system into the air. That is the only concern I have with this.
I am a student, and I don't heavily use a vacuum cleaner. Its more like an occasional use, and this is a very good vacuum cleaner for this price. I think it is quite tough to beat it at this price point.
