Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 3684D TheBOSS Mighty Mite
Customer Review: Not that great
Summary: 2 Stars
Mostly OK, but dissapointed in the cord. It is a very cheap cord, that gets twisted up real easy, and is not easy to store. If I would have known that they would short change you on the cord, I would not have bought it. And it seemed to lose the good suction it had at first, even before the bag is half full! Wouldn't recommend it, sorry.Customer Review: Not what I expected

I ordered the Eureka 3684D online after reading many, many reviews and could not wait to get it. I was very disappointed. It has a vinyl hose and the tools do not swivel, which makes it vey hard on arms and hands to manuever. I returned it and bought a Kenmore Magic Blue, which was comparable in price and superior in quality.Customer Review: Overheats
Summary: 1 Stars
I had owned a Eureka Mighty Mite for 20 years and used it constantly. It was time to replace it and this seemed like a newer model of the one I had previously. The big problem with this one is that it overheats after no more than 10 minutes of use and then automatically shuts down. This makes it virtual unusable as it barely stays on long enough to vacuum a single room. I now use my Miele upright instead which I recommend over this. Too bad because I really liked my old Eureka.Customer Review: PERFECT FOR SMALL APARTMENTS
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to replace an older "Mighty Mite" model that lasted over ten years without a problem and I finally had to give it away because I wanted a newer model with more power, better attachments and a choice of a HEPA filter and/or micro-filter dust bag over the regular bag.
It turned out to be more than I expected and I am very satisfied with my purchase. Gone are the plastic extension wands and replaced with metal ones that lock in position. The attachments are precision designed for corners, cracks, upholstery, drapes and dusting the top of electronics and shelves. A wider floor attachment with a powerful edge suction makes easy work of both carpets and hard floors. The electric cord (which raps neatly underneath the canister is several feet longer than my old model and so is the hose leading from the canister that you attach your tools to. That gives me more freedom to move around a room. It also comes with a new tool called the "power claw", that generates an impressive further increased suction for upholstery, bedding and pillows where dust-mites live (don't worry, the micro-filter will trap them along with fleas and flea eggs if you have pets). It has a big on/off foot switch on top, a blow port and it's all wrapped up in a candy-apple red canister that's a delight to look at if you remember the 50's.
Its only fault is that when using the HEPA filter along with the micro-filter bags its going to heat up; that's only common sense when air is being forced through two dense filtering systems; and it will automatically shut-off. To by pass that feature _safely_ I use the micro-filters which will trap all that I listed above and the HEPA occasionally when I want to purify the air as I dust.
I expect this model to last another ten years at least, that is, unless I wear it out first because it's such a pleasure to use.
Customer Review: This is not the vacuum you'll get if you order, so DON'T

The item advertised (bagless, washable HEPA, etc) is nothing like the model shipped (bags, etc.). Spent a good 1/2 hour haggling with J-&R Music, who insisted it was the same as what I ordered (and got confirmed). I had to actually email them the link they claimed didn't exist to prove it wasn't. Only after getting passed on to a manager was I told: So sorry, Amazon mistake. send it back. J&R doesn't carry the Limited Edition.(Then had to fight with them about paying to ship it back!) So don't even think about ordering this.
