Warning: do not buy this piece of c***
do not even consider buying worthless Eureka 972B. I have loved Eureka; for over 10 years I had a great Eureka and it's still would work, if the cord & wheels did not fall off.
I bought this Eureka compact in October 2007, now in June of 2008, it quit. I have stone floors, two area rugs and a 1000sq ft (temporary)house to clean. The Eureka could not pick up fallen dog hair, nor the dust for which I bought it for. The bags are so puny, that an Ant could not make a home of it. The power that drives the suction stops at the coiled hose.
End result, had one good Eureka, one that was not worth the postage. Only thing I found that was likable, was the color. Fun Yellow, but this Eureka does not suffice as a Frisbee for my dog.
miserable vacuum
I vacuumed up a broken light bulb one evening.
Next day, I noticed broken glass underneath the vacuum
in the closet where I'd stored it.
Also, the plastic exhaust/vent cover is not rigid enough to stay well
attached. As a result, my leg gets blasted by the exhaust (and dust, presumably) as it bypasses the vent.
Price is cheap $50, so I wasn't expecting much. But this little vac delivered even less. I am returning it after just a couple weeks.
I will try the Eureka 3670G, which I am hoping is similar to my old Mighty Mite (which was a great, cheap little vacuum).
Very Powerful
This vacuum is very small (looks bigger in photo). In fact I was hesitant at first. But, they pack a whole lot of power into this small canister. It's just as powerful as the regular-sized uprights that I have owned! It easily stows away in the corner of a closet.
It's perfect for someone like me-- some carpet and a lot of hardwood and tile. Someone with a large house with a lot of carpet may require something with a rotating brush. My problem with uprights is that the rotating brushes always get stuck or a the belt breaks so quickly. The great thing about this vacuum is that it's very simple. It has no rotating brush, only powerful suction.
And the best part: NO MORE SWEEPING! If you have small kids it's a must! Click on the floor nozzle petal for the floor brush and it thoroughly cleans the floor without blowing the dirt around like an upright! What a difference when moping!
My favorite part is that it's very quiet. My poodle and Chihuahua would get so scared from our old vacuum. They don't even flinch when I turn on the Eureka Maxima. It's also very light, so those who have problems lifting this is perfect! I used to have to move my couch away from the wall- now I can easily maneuver the floor nozzle under furniture and other hard to reach places.
The only CONS that I can think of are that the cord is not as long as I would like. The bag is also very small and needs to be changed often. You need to buy the bags online, being that most stores don't carry the type "T" bag. That's it!
Eureka Canister Vacuum
Although I thought I was purchasing a rug cleaning vacuum, and this turned out to be a "floor cleaner", it is a great little vacuum! It is small and lightweight and easy to use. The suction capacity works just great on my low pile carpet.
Excellent for hard floors, light use -- not for carpet, large areas
I purchased this vacuum to replace another small Eureka canister vacuum that finally quit working after 21 years. I was a bit concerned about the mixed reviews (some very positive, some very negative), but this model seemed to have the features I was looking for, so I took the plunge. I've been using the Eureka 972B for about a year now, and I've found that it does some things extremely well, and others very poorly, which probably accounts for the mixed reviews. Here's a summary of my experience:
- The 972B excels at quick cleanups of hard floors. The vacuum head is cleverly designed and almost seems to float over the floor -- it swivels smoothly and is very easy to maneuver. I've had no problem with the hose/wand coming detached (a common complaint on other models), the suction is quite strong, and the automatic cord wind-up is very slick. The canister part of the vacuum maneuvers much better than my previous Eureka -- the wheel design allows it to move with a simple tug, and it's not prone to tipping.
- The dust bag is very small -- about a quarter the size of the bag on my old Eureka, despite the fact that the overall machine is the same size. This is fine for light vacuuming, but it will fill very quickly if you are vacuuming high-volume stuff (e.g., lots of pet hair).
- The 972B does an excellent job of cleaning hard floors (vinyl, hardwood, tile). It does not perform well on carpet, though, since the head does not have a beater bar. Also, fuzz from the carpet seems to fill the small dust bag very quickly.
In a nutshell, I'm delighted with this Eureka for light cleaning of hard floors. I would not use it on carpet, though, and it doesn't have the bag capacity to do "high-volume" cleaning. If you have a small home, with little carpeting and no pets, it's great; if you have a larger home with lots of carpet and long-haired pets, this small vacuum won't be up to the challenge. For my cleaning needs, it's been terrific -- just what I needed, and nothing more, at a good price.
