Eureka 008324-CV1820G The Boss All-in-one Central Vac Kit

Amazing suction!
The first time I used this vacuum, I could not believe how much cat hair, dust, and lint it pulled out of an 8x10 area rug. This rug is only 3 months old and obviously my old vacuum was not getting the stuff out! It filled up the entire cannister!!! I love this vacuum, it is a great bargain for the price of 99.00. I like the fact that some of the tubing and brush covers are clear, to see what's going on inside. The only 2 cons are that 1) the mini turbo pet hair brush attachment does not adjust for vertical vacuuming. It works well on a horizontal surface, but is awkward for vertical surfaces, such as the back of a chair. 2) the brush does not shut off for bare wood floors. Otherwise; love it!

This is the vacuum I have always dreamed of having! 100 Stars!
I would truly give this vacuum 100 stars if I could. Do you know what it is like to receive something that exceeds your expectations 10-fold? This was not an impulsive or inexpensive purchase, but it was worth every cent to have everything I have wished I could have in a vacuum. I have had an Oreck for the last 7 years and knew I could never use a non-lightweight vac again. I was thinking I would "have to" buy another Oreck, then saw a commercial for this Hoover. After doing some research, I ordered one, never thinking it would be THIS good. It says it is a couple pounds heavier than an Oreck, but it feels lighter to me, and handles more easily. It is beautifully constructed, and has an exceptionally long cord. The handle is honestly comfortable to hold, and the vac easy to lift and use on stairs - especially with the special handles. But the AMAZING thing about this vac is it seems to propel itself effortlessly back and forth!!!! The Oreck was difficult to push on my dense, low carpets, but this machine feels like it does the work for you. The controls are conveniently placed, and the two speeds very useful. I have never been so excited over an appliance in my life. The portable canister & attachments it comes with are actaully pretty nice, too, although I didn't buy it for those. I will be telling everyone I know about this vacuum and highly recommend it.

Poorly Designed Product
I've tried this product and the Capture Plus and both had the same problem. First, the dusting brush is absolutely pointless, does not work at all so I'd recommend saving time and using your Swiffer Duster. The "Paw" really is not that great either as it does not have the best suction. The vacuum itself does not seem to pick up larger dirt all that well, for instance spilled salt, coffee, or baking soda off the floor, or gravel/dirt from outside. If you vacuum over that type of mess it kind of just throws the dirt around, it even hurts your bare legs because it's throwing dirt up at you.

The thing that made me return this model and the Capture Plus is that pet hair got caught in the corners of the roller, the bearing overheated and started to melt the roller! Went on their website and did not find that part to be replaceable (plus, would you want to replace a roller on practically a monthly basis due to poor design?) This happened with rather LIGHT usage, I would vacuum maybe once a week, and I have had this model for about 2 months. And my house really is not even that bad, I only have one dog and one cat. Save yourself money, time and grief and pass on this product. This vacuum is certainly NOT made to handle pet hair!

Utter Disaster of a Vacuum Cleaner
I bought the Eureka Altima from Target as a stop-gap while saving pennies for a Dyson and it turned out to be an utter disaster. Seemed fine for about the first hour, and then quickly began spewing out as much dust and dirt as it picked up.

So I broke it down and cleaned out the filters. Here-in lies the main problem with the Eureka Altima; it's got three filters in three separate compartments that all have to be cleaned out separately. This includes a small, round plastic filter that is impossible to see, hard to get to, and frequently gets clogged. I'd clean out all the filters, resuming vacuuming, only to have the Eureka Altima start spewing out dirt fifteen minutes later. I spent more time cleaning the filters than actually vacuuming. And even when the filters were perfectly clean the vacuum would still spew dirt, leaving the vacuum itself covered in a dusty grim and the floors a less than desired level of cleanliness.

This vacuum also eats belts like fat people eat McDonalds. Eureka includes a replacement belt with the Altima with good reason. The first belt last a week and the second lasted three days.

Ultimately I returned the Eureka Altima and exchanged it for a Dirt Devil Vibe (same price) which has a single filter system, doesn't eat belts, and doesn't spew dust in the air.
