Eureka 108A Easy Clean 2-in-1 Stick Handheld Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

Exactly what I needed., November 16, 2009

I purchased this vacuum when I got tired of lugging out the big vac to keep up with dog hair and kid crumbs. Sweeping just made things worse by making the dog hair fly around instead of helping.

So, solution…a lightweight cordless vac WITH a small duster for sofas. This vacuum has been perfect for our family. The battery lasts long enough (10-15 minutes) for me to relatively thoroughly clean the kitchen floor and then the other 3 rooms that are wood floors. The dog hair and crumbs are picked up between thorough floor cleanings which is exactly the thing I needed. The removeable “dustbuster” is perfect for crumbs and hair on furniture and in tighter corners. This vacuum is not meant to be the end all vacuum for your house. It is perfect for the 1-2 times a day you may want to keep doghair and crumbs in check. I leave this vacuum in the laundry room plugged is so it is always ready to go.

There is an unexpected added bonus…my boys LOVE to use it! It is the perfect weight and height (with the handle down) for kids! They get it out and put it away on their own. I rarely let them sweep with a broom because it just made more work for me, but now I have to keep them from fighting over it:)

So, if dog hair and dirt acculumate quickly in your house and you dread pulling out the big vac to keep up and sweeping frustrates you, this is the vacuum for you.

Good for quick pick ups, August 9, 2009

I have the purple model given to me as a gift and I think it works great for what it is supposed to do. It is NOT meant as your one and only vaccuum. I have a Dyson for serious cleaning but with 2 kids and a dog I have to have something lightweight and quick to use for spilled crumbs and tracked in dirt. Perfect for those quick jobs on the floor and works better than expected on low-pile carpet. Plus since it is so lightweight I can carry it upstairs to our one bonus room – a Dyson is not easy to lug up stairs.
Cons: The dirt cup fills pretty quickly, but once again this is not a problem if it is only being used a minute at a time for “touch ups”. I was disappointed the battery life does not last very long but I just know to charge it often so it is always handy. Nothing battery powered ever seems to last as long as it should.
I used to use my broom and dustpan several times a day and this has replaced that and given me a little extra power for rugs and stairs. I’m happy with it.
