(NEW!) Eureka Lightweight Cordless Vacuum

I live on a dirt road and have many pets and wall-to-wall carpeting through a large house. Vacuuming is a never-ending chore and trying to drag around a corded vac was a nightmare. I picked up one of the no-name generic stick vacs last year and it's basically useless with this amount of soiling. This time I looked at Dyson and shark and they either didn't have power buttons that stayed on or had itty bitty dust containers that are just not going to be adequate. I took a chance with the eureka because it has the best capacity at the best price and so far I have been pleasantly surprised. For my use I can deep clean one maybe two rooms if I'm lucky on a charge or spot clean a few. The dust cup is extremely easy to remove and the top filter assembly just pops right out no hassle in order to get out extra pet hair or give it a tap to release dust super easy. It is not the lightest stick vac out there but it's still easy for me to maneuver even with arthritis. It came with several nice attachments and a hanging rack that was easy to install on the wall. The only cons are that it takes forever to charge several hours so I can only really vacuum once or twice a day for like 15 minutes at a time which wasn't a big deal I just broke up my vacuuming over several days. The roller obviously is not tangle free and I was a little disappointed to see that even though eureka is a major player in the industry their manual still suggests using a knife or a box cutter to cut hair off of a tangled up roller Even the Chinese companies have figured out that those little square letter openers that you used to get as handouts at job fairs and such make super short work of cleaning vacuum rollers and include them with their products. Overall I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this vacuum.
