I love this vacuum and I’m surprised at the negative comments. Mine is about 4 years old and still works great. It picks up everything including fine dust. I’m always amazed to see what ends up in the bin. Because it works so well the filters have to be cleaned often – every two or three times I use it. But it’s easy to do. We have two sets of filters. Wash out one set, put the other in. The upper filter gets clogged more often now that we have three cats. The hair wraps around the cylinder… because it sucked the hair off the furniture and floor… which is why I vacuumed. Perfect!

bought this eureka (altima) upright cleaner from walmat for 80$ worked great for 1 yr.. the the suction tubes kept getting plugged up..and walmart put an a approval on this…ys right. get what you pay for is right…dont buy one.i hear alot of people who have had very bad ones that lasted a momnth only…..last one i buy from euerka

I bought this vacuum because it was cheap, and I have had good experiences with Eureka in the past. However, after using this one for a month, I think the old saying is correct – you get what you pay for.
