Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I will say to start the review, be careful in going by these reviews as several different vacuum reviews are included here in error, which has brought done the rating. I replaced a garbage Hoover Whole House Elite Windtunnel 2 UH71230 vacuum that lasted about 2 years before it's wheel housings, cord rewind system and tools broke. The Eureka PowerSpeed Turbo Spotlight has excellent suction, much much more powerful than the 12 amp Hoover Whole House Elite. The Eureka is half the weight of the Hoover and is very easy to carry and move around. The Eureka tools are much better designed and more useful than the Hoover. When I vacuumed the living room and hallway, the canister filled up 3/4 the way with pet hair and fuzz. I would vacuum the living 3 different times to fill the Hoover canister which is less than 1/2 the volume of the Eureka canister. That just shows how much better the Eureka vacuums than the Hoover. Now the Eureka has lights which the Hoover didn't have, but the Hoover did have a roll brush shut off foot switch that broke! While the Eureka doesn't have a way to turn off the roll brush while it's stood up while using the tools, the brush lifts up in the up right position and doesn't touch the carpet. After owning the unreliable Hoover, I wouldn't even look at any of their models and glad for that as this Eureka is really a good deal. What I like also is that this vacuum only has 1 filter and it is washable, the pre-motor filter. There is no post-motor filter and that's fine by me. That post-motor filter on the Hoover always popped out and was expensive. In fact that is one reason why I like this Eureka over the competing Bissell models among other things. Now I haven't put any time on this vacuum. If it fails or has any negatives, I'll definitely edit my review but as of now, this is a great vacuum.
