Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka LightSpeed Upright Vacuum, Bagless, 4700D

Customer Review: Disposable Vacuums
Summary: 2 Stars

Eureka used to sell a quality product, but the last two (including this model) are poor products. The first few times you use the vacuum, you will be impressed at how much suction they have. After that, it is all downhill. You will find yourself constantly cleaning filters, buying filters and performing maintenance to keep the level of suction that you had when you first purchased. Spend the money upfront and get a better vacuum from a better manufacturer.

Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 4 Stars

I have used this vacuum cleaner a couple of times. So far, for the cheap price I have paid, I think it did a good job.

Here are some negatives:

-No hose-floor vacuum switch as it was in the Optima line of Eureka vacuum cleaners. So, the hose suction is always on whether you use it or not. I would think that it weakens the floor suction power by eating from it.

-The height of the handle is NOT adjustable. I thought it could go up and down to accommodate people with different heights. For me, the fixed height of the handle is fine. I am average (5' 9''). Others might find it discomfortable.

-As some reviewers said, the motor at the front blows the dirt laying around (Not just on the ground but also on furnitures).

A few good points:

+Suction is Ok for me. It does pick up dirt. But I don't have to empty the dust compartment everytime I use, like some others mentioned. The chamber is large enough to become filled after 5-7 usages. By the way, I clean my little condo every 1-2 week.

+Less noisy than I expected. The Optima that belonged to my former roommate was a lot noisier than this. I was suprised with that. As a comparison, my blender even in the lowest setting creates more discomfort than that.

+The dust cup bottom release is a nice feature. Optima didn't have it. So, you don't have to open the lid of the dust cup to empty the dust.

+Surprisingly, I liked the light at the front. I can vacuum in low light areas of the condo during the day without turning the lights on.

I will update my review after more usage.

The vacuum works well for what it's intended need is. If you have animals that shed, you will have to take out the filter every other time to clean off the hair and fur as it gets trapped.

Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars

This is the worst vacuum that I have ever owned. I'ts terrible is always clogged, I spend more time cleaning it out then on my carpet.

Customer Review: Don't buy if you are looking for auto height adjustment!
Summary: 1 Stars

Just reveived a Eureka 4700D. One of the main reasons for ordering was the automatic height adjustment feature shown in the product photos and product discription. The 4700D that I received does not have the auto height adjustment and will be going back to Amazon.
