Eureka 4236AZ Comfort Clean Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

OMG!!, September 9, 2009

I have been trying to decide which new vacuum to buy and finally bought this Eureka.

I had just used my old vacuum and ran through the house with it thinking that it would be a few more days before I got this one and got hubby to assemble it for use.

He put it together right away and I ran it just ONE day ofter using the older one. Granted, I realized it was time to replace the old one but it still picked up a good bit of stuff and when I changed bags, its was obviously still pulling a good bit of dust, cat hair, etc. when I used it.

But, I am still in a state of shock at what came out of my carpet! EEEEKKKKKKKKK!!! I am almost thinking that I may have to buy a new filter now, even though it says to change every six months! I can’t begin to wrap my mind around just how much dust, cat hair, etc. that has obviously collecting in our house that we moved into just a couple of years ago at the most and the carpet was new at the time. I know they have a lot of fuzz and such in them when they are new but this is beyond belief as far as I am concerned.

Now, most of my floors are wood and I have vinyl in the kitchen and I know this machine did not come with a bare floor setting (which was my error before purchase) but am hoping it is available to purchase as attachment.

Either way, I put it on a different setting than for the higher carpet as I did not want it to beat up my wood floors andi it did fine. So, I covered most of the floor excpet the large formal dining room and the canister was full and as I said, I may need to replace the filter prior to the suggested time. It did brush off nicely with a soft bristle brush that I use for my clothes dryer.

All I can say is that this thing will make you feel like you have been living in a filthy dust pit and here I though I was a fairly clean person and kept a decent house and now I just feel like I need to run it again really quickly and see if I can get rid of more cooties!!

Mine came with the power paw but I did not even get that far with using it yet but feel sure it will be great on the furniture due to our cats who think they own the house!

BEST EVER!, September 27, 2009

I agree with the other review OMG! This thing cleans like nobody’s busniess! I have a maid service that cleans my house every 2 weeks. So imagine my suprise when I bought this new vacuum and used it in my house and saw the UNBELIEVABLE amount of crap that came out of my rugs and off my wood floors! The filter captured VERY fine dust before it ever got to the HEPA filter. The main filter was FLITHY after one good cleaning on the main level of my house. I am SHOCKED!!! I cannot imagine a vacuum cleaner getting up more dirt and dust than this one. Fabulous machine–great value. DO NOT waste $$$$ on those expensive vacuums–BUY THIS ONE!!!

This vacuum cleaner does clean incredibly well. Carpets that you thought were clean were not. HOWEVER, it is very heavy and if you need to vacuum stairs or take it from one floor to another, you may want to work out with weights at the gym for a couple of months before you buy it. The filter needs to be washed EVERY time almost at our house (three dogs and a cat) and getting the canister out to empty requires husband help every time I have done it. I would buy it again probably but my enthusiasm for it is dampered by the weight and the less than easy manipulation/cleaning required. If you weight 120 lbs and have to vacuum carpets on two floors, I absolutely would NOT NOT NOT recommend this vacuum cleaner.
