Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka LightSpeed Upright Vacuum, Bagless, 4700D
Customer Review: 1 STAR FOR ONE REASON..
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought 2 of these vacuums last Christmas. One for me and one for my daughter as a Xmas present. My daughter opened it Christmas eve day because it was her turn to host our annual Xmas celebration. It's not a very big apartment and the living room is the only room with a rug. She cleaned the rug and was amazed at the powerful suction (It took her for a walk!) she was happy with it until she was almost finished going over the rug one last time for good measure. It started smoking near the wheel. My daughter then asked to borrow mine the day after Xmas. I had not had a chance to use it yet but was happy to lend it to her because I felt bad that the one I bought her had croaked the first day she used it.
She brought it home and vacuumed her rug and AGAIN, the same thing happened. It started smoking near the wheel. two vacuums, both lasted a day. It was more than disappointing. I could deal easily with this if it was just one vacuum that faulted but I bought TWO at the SAME TIME and BOTH died within A DAY of each other the FIRST TIME they were used! I know NO vacuum is perfect and they all break down within months to several years but two vacuums the first day??
The good thing about this vacuum was the powerful suction. I mean it has POWERFUL suction!
Customer Review: A Bad Choice

I bought this vacuum a few months ago to replace our previous one that lasted 10 years. At first I liked this vacuum with it's many attachments and great suction. But within a month it was having problems. It's cheaply constructed and the door to the HEPA filter would fall off every time I used it. It's very heavy and very hard to move up and down stairs. The attachment hose is not long at all and it too often comes unhooked while in use. Within 2 months the belt broke. I bought several replacements and now, a month later, the belt broke again. When the belt broke this time, it also broke off a plastic piece that helps hold the belt on and now a new belt won't stay on at all. It clogs easily and makes a huge mess when emptying it. There is probably still a warranty on it, but it requires returning it to the company which is a real pain. I'm planning to buy another vacuum and just chalk this one up as a real lemon and a bad buy. I highly recommend against buying this vacuum and to be honest, I think I'm going to avoid Eureka all together.Customer Review: A Good Machine...

I bought this vacuum strictly for the basement(where our Home Theatre is set up). It was a pain in the *ss carrying our canister up and down all the time, so I happened upon this cleaner on sale at Home Depot for a mere $70.00... I was initially skeptical at first, I mean a $70 vacuum? However, I purchased it anyway, knowing that I would be able to return it if I wasn't happy. The setup and assembly was fairly quick. The instructions were easy to follow and featured step-by-step illustrations. When I had everything ready to go, I decided to give it a "test run", and I was impressed. I was amazed at the junk our Sears Canister was leaving behind, as I watched the cat hair and dust swirling around in the collection bin. My only complaint-and this is common with bagless vacs in general-is that you MUST clean the filter off after every use, otherwise they tend to plug up and overheat the motor. This is especially true if you have multiple pets, or longhaired cats. In conclusion, this is a good machine. Strong suction too. The attachments include an extension wand for above floor cleaning, crevice tool, and dusting brush. The dustbin simply snaps off in a jiffy, and the filter is washable/replaceable. This is what I like to refer to as a "second vac", when you simply want a machine on another level in your home, without having to lug your main vacuum all over the place. I've owned it for about 5 months now, and so far, no complaints. Just keep it clean and you'll be set. Also, pay no attention to that one review below. This is obviously referring to a totally separate model. I'm happy.

I bought this vacuum cleaner online about a week ago and just got it delivered. I did not know I had some assembly to do. It comes in a few parts--less than a dozen, and there are about six or seven screws that have to be secured during assembly. But this is easy, and I had the machine assembled in 20 minutes or so.
It is very lightweight but as powerful as the most expensive vacuum cleaners. It really sucks powerfully, and is easy to move around--a big virtue for a vacuum cleaner. I think if Microsoft made it, it would be the only product of theirs that didn't suck, but fortunately it is made by Eureka. The whole thing is plastic. I turned it on and cleaned up the rug in my family room. It got up far more dust than I expected for such a short sweep. The container for the dust is large enough so it can clean more than one room before it needs emptying. I did notice that the plastic dust container had developed a crack near its top (on the first use, no less), however I don't think it is serious because I can apply some crazy glue to it, and if worse comes to worst, I can bandage the dust bin with duct tape. Perhaps the dust bin should be engineered more solidly. But that is the only minus for this machine. It is a simple, unadorned, rudimentary, basic vacuum cleaner at a very reasonable price, and it does what it is supposed to do quite well. Now, we shall see how long it lasts. I would recommend this machine to people who seek value for their money.
