EUREKA! Every once and a while, you find a product that actually does all it claims to do. I absolutely love my Eureka Quick-Up Cordless 2-in-1 Stick Vacuum. Let me tell you why. I should preface my comments by letting you know that prior to buying this vacuum, I used a Swivel Sweeper. My original Swivel Sweeper (which I still use) is a gem. However, when they came out with the "improved" model, the attached cup didn't hold as much dirt and the battery did not last long. Within a year, both of the newer models broke and were not able to be repaired. That is when I started looking for a solid, strong suction, light weight, cordless vacuum. After reading the reviews relative the Eureka and because I have a similar corded model which does a good job, I decided to purchase the cordless Eureka. I am not disappointed and, in fact, actually surprised and delighted at the power this little machine has.
To me, the most important feature I wanted was the ability of a cordless to pick up pet hair. Let's face it, all pets shed! I have a wonderful Australian Shepherd whom I adore but anyone who knows or owns an Aussie will tell you that they are known for heavy shedding. In spite of daily brushing, my Shelly sheds heavily so to maintain a neat and fur-free home, I vacuum daily. Because I have advanced arthritis, for daily vacuuming I must depend on a cordless vacuum that is light weight and the Eureka cordless is just that.
What makes me happiest is how well it picks up the fur. It has two settings - one with rollers and one without. If you have pets, you definitely will want to use the brush setting because the non-brush setting doesn't do a good job of picking up fur/hair. The brush setting is amazing and it not only picks up plenty of fur but also ground-in dirt. Emptying the cup is not difficult but you must clean it after every use. I first clean the brushes by using a fine tooth comb or often, just my fingers. The fur will pull out easily. Next, I empty the cup which is always full (I swear I could become rich just selling Shelly's fur for creating coats). My girl mass produces fur:) I use an old toothbrush to clean the filter and the fur removes quickly. At first, installing the cup back into its slot was a bit difficult but after a few times, the rubber at the top of the cup gets softer and installation becomes fast and easy.
The battery seems to hold its charge throughout my daily cleaning and when done, I replace it on the charging unit which the manual states can be done at any time - you don't have to wait until it is fully discharged before placing in on the charger. I like that feature. Also, it is free standing and you do not have to attach it to a wall, if you don't want too.
This cordless is excellent and picks up volumes of dirt/fur/hair that I now use it throughout my home. Actually, it is so good that I am a little concerned as to how long this machine will continue to provide such positive results. I have used this product for approximately a month. I have only two concerns: (1) how long will the battery actually last and (2) how long will the brush rollers hold up. I'm hoping I can get a few years out of this machine but since I use it frequently, that may not happen.
In summary, all I can say it that this vacuum really sucks, but in the best of ways. I am amazed at how well it performs and I highly recommend it, especially for pet owners. Kudos to Eureka for making a product that actually lives up to its claims.
