Amazon.com Review
Hand-held but very powerful, this Eureka model eliminates the hassle of lugging around a full-size vacuum for cleaning car upholstery, sofas, and carpeted stairs. A long 20-foot cord (which wraps for storage) provides good reach, as does the deluxe hose that stretches to three times its length. With the crevice tool on the end of the hose, this vacuum reaches into all kinds of tight places. And, with two motors, one to power the revolving brush and one for suction, the 5.5 amp vacuum cleans deeply.

One of Eureka's innovations is the Riser Visor, a clear plastic cover that stays down for cleaning horizontal surfaces and flips up so the revolving brush can reach the vertical carpet on stair risers. There's no bag to change, just a filter and clear plastic dust cup to shake out when necessary. --Ann Bieri

It totally sucks! October 11, 2008
I use this vacuum exclusively for cleaning my truck, and at no time do I doubt my purchase; I'm consistently amazed at the amount of dust and dirt that I empty out of the dust cup, even after going over carpet that appears to be clean.

Some of the other reviewers are noting that the vacuum is a bit heavy, and I'll admit that after two hours of cleaning (I'm extremely meticulous) it does begin to make the arms tired. When I switch it on, the torque of the motors (there are two!) activating cause it to jolt in my hand. And I can definitely feel the power as the crevice tool will really yank any junk out of whatever it's cleaning, in addition to the fantastic sucking power of the main brush.

The only real problems I have with the vacuum are that (1) After a while, it can get very warm and sometimes too hot to touch. NOTE that this has never caused a problem with the vacuum itself; I just shut it down for a minute, then continue. (2) Twice, the suction hose has started sliding out of it's slot (I don't mean the slot you're supposed to pull it out of to clean with the crevice tool; I mean the slot that it's meant to be continually connected to, which leads into the dust cup), although I simply push it back in, and no worries. (3) The suction hose length itself is a little on the short side. (4) This is specific to me, as I doubt everybody will experience this: After cleaning my truck, I notice that a very large amount of the junk in the dust cup is actually carpet from my truck, which has lead me to believe that the vacuum may be a little TOO powerful for some jobs. FYI, my truck is a 1990 Suburban, and while the 18 year old carpet has been treated very gently, there's so doubt that it is starting to fall apart; hence my explaining that the vacuum pulling out carpet probably won't be experienced by most of the people buying it.

PROS/CONS:

PROS
-Two motors to handle the load
-Massive sucking power, for that really dug-in junk
-Very good at picking up EVERYTHING on the first pass
-Great power cord length
-Easy to empty the dust cup
-Riser-Visor

CONS
-Suction hose has nearly come out of socket twice
-Suction hose COULD be longer
-Can be a little rough with [fragile/old] carpet
-Over-heating

SUMMARY
Despite minor issues I've had with, I nevertheless recommend it to anybody who has something they want clean. Great value for the money; it completely sucks!

Watch out for the yellow and black! October 9, 2008
Yellow and black as been a sign of "heavy duityness" for some time now, from police tape to construction, even bees. Yellow and black draws attention.

With that said, they colored this vaccume appropriately. I live in a dorm, and needed something not to big, just to clean the carpet in my room. DID IT EVER! I didn't even take it through my entire room before i noticed everything it got off my floors, and when i looked at the filter, i could see the jailed dirty suspects that littered my room just minutes ago.

I haven't used it much so im not sure about how long you can have it without worrying about it breaking. But i get a good feeling from this thing. It is very convenient and there isn't a spec of dirt in my dorm thats safe now. I can quickly turn off the brush but keep the suction, so i can use the tube/attachment to get into corners and what not. The entire time i was cleaning my room i felt like inspector gadget or something. The useful yet simple features are very self explanitory and cater to whatever situation you might need this baby in.

I baught this vaccume to do the stairs in my home. Well I have to say this is the best hanheld I've ever owned. It has an amazing amount of suction for such a small and light weight unit. The beater bar wrks well for loosening up deep down soil in your carpet.
I have also used this for Cleaning out the cars and the removable whip hose really comes in handy for getting in between the seats and under them as well.
For the money it was a great investment.
