The stretchy hose also gives you more room for maneuver as it stretches up to three times its retracted length.
One Eureka innovation on this vacuum is the Riser Visor. The idea behind this clear plastic cover is that it stays down for cleaning horizontal surfaces, but flips up when vacuuming vertical surfaces like stair risers. This means the revolving brush can clean horizontal and vertical surfaces with ease.
The vacuum has a filter, and emptying it is a case of shaking out the dust bin.
