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

Only one problem July 24, 2008
I have gone through one cordless after another so I decided to buy a corded hand vac and chose this one due to the many high ratings.

Here is what I like: *Powerful, *quiet for the power, *long cord, *not too heavy, *really digs down deep to clean even better then my favorite upright!, *easy to empty out the dirt.

Here is what I didn't like: *Hose is way to short to be useful, *Hose detached for use aims in the same direction as the blower on the back of the unit so when you go to suck up the dirt it blows across the room while you chase it around like a circus clown act!, *the filter clogs quickly.

All in all I'm happy with it and ordered the Electrolux car attachment kit which offers a longer hose that fits great as do the attachments included in the kit. With the longer hose you can aim it opposite the blower and avoid shooting dirt across the room. My hoover upright attachments also fit so I can use the extender tubes and reach ceiling fan blades too.

Hold on for a great ride July 24, 2008
This vacuum is great, it has a lot of power so hang on. Very neat at getting into those areas that the larger vacs can't reach. The attachment is very handy, dirty creases look out, your time is up. Easy to clean, I use a real cheap 1" dry paint brush to clean filter. I have tried the Dirt Devil, not even close. Someone said the motor is noisy, if it bothers you try a nice quiet broom.

Sucks it head off! July 20, 2008
This Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum sucks its head off! In fact, it sucks so hard that it can be a tad hard to maneuver. I find the on\off switch on the top very, very tight, but I think the machine is just put together well! Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum

I wonder if the reviewer whose machine stopped right away just received an anomaly - a bad machine that should have been returned. I don't know if Eureka is a problematic warranty guarantor and I hope I never have to find out. I have had mine for a while and it is STILL going strong.

Overall, if you want outstanding hand-held suction, this Eureka 71B hand-held (or the Black & Decker CycloPro) will do the deed! Black & Decker CCV900 CycloPro Corded Hand Vac

Good tool but need a better design July 17, 2008
Pro. suction power is strong, easy to use, brush can stir dust and help clean, basically, a good product

Con. if possible, a new design could consider this, while using this on carpet floor, many times it becomes hard to move forward or backward if carpet is newer, I have to push with both hands, the right hand behind the product, bear the hot wind and have to shut it down every 30 minutes. The handle should be placed not on top but on top of back, and hot wind vent may re-routed to lower position. Place the handle in back top can also help women user easier to operate this small device. I am a man with 220 pounds, it is still difficult for me to operate it sometimes. 2 handles may be better than just 1. Think about this.

I have furry pets and carpeted stairs July 16, 2008
I have a long haired dog and cat. I'm pregnant and can't very easily use a full size vacume on my stairs. I tried to use my hands to keep it picked up, but I couldn't keep up--the pet hair was making the stairs slippery, dangerous and dirty. So, I broke down and bought this little vac. It works great. I like the flip on the front for the brushes--it makes the vertical part of the vacuming really easy. It works great at picking up the pet hair--it works better than my full size does!
I can't think of any downsides so far. It is really easy to use.
