Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I wish I could give "4 & 1/2" stars for this eureka hand-held, because it really is a great vacuum. Great: -has really strong & powerful suction -long cord (25 feet!) -super stretchy hose with convieniently located crevice tool attachment -brushroll on/off control -riser visor great for those akward places -holds a good amount of dirt in it's bagless bin -automatically shuts off if motor is too hot to avoid overheating, (hasn't happened with mine yet, only use it for about 10 minutes at a time.) Trade-offs: -pretty dang big and a little heavy for a hand-held vac, but its great power & suction make it an even trade-off. -it isn't cordless, but most cordless vacs die in a year or two, not a problem with this guy! Not as great: -emptying is a bit messy, and you should use a bristle brush to clean off the filter as well as you can when empying. -the prongs in the plug seem too small, it will fall out of an outlet with the weakest pull. As you can see- I highly reccomend this Eureka 71AV hand-held vacuum!
