Eureka 4750A Lightspeed Upright Vacuum 12A

Why buy anything else?
Pros

- Easy to change bag. (I consider bagless worthless.)

- Much quiter than my previous Dirt Devil vacuum

- Cleans better, too

- Inexpensive (I paid $40 for a refurb)

- Most trusted and reliable brand

- Assembly instructions actually helpful

- Spinning brush does not touch floor when upright (so it doesn't mar the rug if it's left running)

- Reasonable cord length (not too long or short)

- Just three attachents (who ever uses 12 on-board attachments?)

- Light enough to carry up/down stairs

Cons

- It takes some effort to get the hose back in

- Headlight could be brighter

- Cord is not auto-rewinding

- Bags are smaller than Dirt Devil, though replacements are cheap

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP!!!
Eureka 4750A LightSpeed Upright Vacuum

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE "EUREKA 4750A MAXIMA"!

What a pleasure to simply pull out the bag - not having to even touch it! For me, this feature was my FIRST/B-I-G "attention getter"! After owning/using 3 different Eureka BAGLESS models, I finally decided to return to one of their bagged models. The bagless Eurekas were powerful, of course (they were, after all, Eurekas); but when emptying them, I had to use both a mask and gloves - out on the patio; and, still at times this was enough to trigger an asthma attack - TOO MUCH DRAMA (AND S-O-O-O-O MESSY)!!!

This little easy to handle "LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP" is CHEAP BUT POWERFUL - picks up well on CARPET AND BARE floors. (From bare floors it's picked up hair, bobby pins, paper scraps, Cheerios, paper clips, and dirt!) I, actually, find myself almost looking forward to "bag emptying time". What a difference! Hopefully, Eureka will continue making this (or an upgraded) model...
