Product Description:
The new Eureka Optima offers the power of an upright at 1/2 the weight! It also features the ONLY soft-grip looped handle that adjusts to more than 8 positions so any user can find his or her optimal user height and ensures the most comfortable grip at any cleaning angle. Optima uses a 12-amp motor for deep cleaning your carpets like a full size upright, but weighs just 11 lbs. It also has an on/off brushroll for cleaning bare floors and on-board tools and a no-tip design for above the floor cleaning. The easy-empty dust cup has the same dust capacity a a full size upright and was designed so you don't touch the filter when emptying the cup. (similar models: 431A, 431AZ)

Had two of these spanning about 6 years.
Pros:
I think they're pretty well engineered.
Loved the bagless design. Nothing more mind-numbing than trolling department stores looking for a certain paper bag filter every couple of months.
HEPA Filtration was a good feature for me since I have asthma. I didn't mind vacuuming with this model as it did not aggravate my allergies.
Having many plastic parts made this a lightweight and fairly durable vacuum.
Cons:
Though we broke some of the plastic parts (like the clip retaining the cone to the clear canister, and the window covering the clean-out plug, these did not affect its overall usefulness.
What did us in was the wheels breaking off.

I have had this lil guy for over a year. I love it. Yes the cleaning hose and cord are a little short, but its sooo light weight, I love the collapsing handle and it it great for stairs. Tip on cleaning the filter... Compressed air! I have used both the canned air duster (for electronics) and the one in my garage that runs my tools. Take the filter outside bang it on the ground in the grass and then hit it with the air.

This vacuum is perfect for what I needed...which was a not-too-big (not super tiny) sized vacuum for my studio apartment. Easy to use, works well on my carpet (I don't know the name of the kind of carpet I have, but it's not fluffy...it's flat like a rug). The filter seems to get stuffed up kinda quick, but my hair falls all over the place and it does a good job of suckin' it all up. And it's not hard to just pull all the stuff off the filter. It is a bit loud, but not enough to annoy me. It's not like you're vacuuming for hours at a time. I like the extendable arm and it really does have a cool lookin' design and color. Overall, I love this lil' guy.

I used one of these when i was cleaning my wife's company office and really liked it. Our home vacuum would blow dust everywhere even after i cleaned it and checked for leaks. i said the heck with it and bought one of these. i'm glad i did. easy to use, light weight and a great price and i'm dusting a lot less! Some people complain of a short cord,but i don't have a problem with it.

My old upright was not working well, it would overheat and shut off. What kind of silly thing is that ? Anyhow, my maid recommended that I get this. She has had ZERO complaints or issues with this thus far. Very happy with it.
