not worth it

Pros: inexpensive
Cons: not a quality product
Model Number: 3276BVZ
"At first, I was impressed by the suction on this vacuum and thought it was a great value for the price. It has not even been six months and I am returning it to Costco. Your pet hair will get clogged in places that do not detach and you will have to use a wire hanger to remove the clogged hair. Also, for area rugs, the vacuum will blow the pet hair onto your tiled flooring. I would not recommend this product."

So not worth it

Pros: the color
Cons: overheats, poor suction, limited tools, not worth it
"We had an older Eureka Boss vacuum and needed another, so I decided to just buy the same brand and type. What a mistake, and what happened to the quality and design in 2 years?! Very limited suction power, hose does not pick up well and the motor now overheats within 3 minutes of cleaning. I'm going to try and take it back to Costco to see what the limited 2 year warranty offers for this very sad product. I am now using a Dyson DC33 - much better, lighter, more reliable and worth the extra purchase price."

GREAT VALUE!!

Pros: great suction and beater brush for deep cleaning
Cons: a little heavy to push and pull but not that much
Model Number: 3276-3280 series
"Eureka's claim is true. It has amazing suction power. My old Kenmore canister had a wiring problem that I was going to fix until the cost of new electrical hoses was going to cost $150. I thought it was a great vacuum BUT the Eureka Pet picked up so much more in one application that I cannot believe the deal at $90. Give it a try even though I no longer have a pet puppy, it is worth the money. And of course Costco stands behind what they sell even if the manufacturer gives you a hard time."

"It picks up OK. But the hose for using tools is so short it is useless. Also tools fall off easily. It is not light weight."

Overheats

Cons: overheats and turns off
"It took me 2 hours to vacuum my average sized living room because the vacuum kept over heating and turning off. I am going to take out the front hepa filter and will wash the internal filter to see if that will remedy the problem..."

GREAT vacuum

Model Number: 3276
"We have two dogs, and the other day I scruffed up a rug with my fingernails and realized that my vac was NOT getting up the dog hair. SO, I ordered this one, as it was recommended to be good at cleaning up pet hair. The results of using it are SO embarrassing.....it's like I've never vacuumed my rugs before! This vacuum really IS excellent at sucking up dog hair off of rugs. I am VERY pleased with it."

Eureka Vacuum

Pros: excellent suction
Model Number: Eureka Whirlwind® Pet Expert Upright Vacuum
"Excellent suction; very powerful and effective. The hose is almost too powerful to use by itself which says a lot for its vacuuming qualities. I am very happy with it - easy to put together ; easy to order online and receive quickly; and the price is great. Plus the attached Hair Raiser does an effective job of picking up cat fur from the furniture"

Worth the price

Pros: picks up a lot of dirt, light weight
Cons: canister doesnt empty well, leaves dirt on front of vac
"This vac works well for the price but my major problem lies with the canister which has a plastic part inside hindering me from easly cleaning it out. I am stuck sticking my hand in it to pull the pet hair out (have a golded retriever). I find the attachments to be good for my couch and edging corners."

My love of vacuuming restored!

Pros: lots of attachments!, tackles various cleaning tasks, effective at getting fine cat hair out of carpet
Cons: lots of attachments!, not sure what all the attachments are for, canister emptying situation
"I really enjoy this vacuum - it's a smooth "ride" on my cheap apartment carpeting and is effective on sucking up my cat's long hair that gets embedded in the fibers. It seems to be a quality machine for an affordable price, but there are some inconveniences...
It's a little messy to empty the compartment because the bottom drops for emptying (rather than having to poor the contents out, which I would've preferred).
The Hair Raiser brush/attachment is not all that. While it's a neat concept, the suction in the attachment is not strong enough and you have to go in and loosen the hair yourself.
I haven't used it on hard floors, so I can't comment on what the other reviewer had to say about blowing the dirt and debris everywhere, and I'm not entirely sure what I would use the "Power Paw" brush for."

You get what you pay for

Pros: the pet hair attachment works really well.
Cons: leaves a trail of debris behind it., hot air blows out of the front.
"This vacuum works well on pet fur and carpet but it is awful on hard floors! Tons of hot air blows out the front of the vacuum, which blows dirt and dust away and makes the room really warm.
The worst problem is that it shoots debris out the back of the vacuum! Every time we use it on the wood floors our legs and feet get hit with little pieces of whatever is on the floor. It leaves a trail of debris everywhere it goes so basically, you can never finish vacuuming! Our cordless, stick vacuum works better than this one.
We will be returning this asap."

Good value

"The Eureka isn't as lightweight as a Dyson. The dust chamber isn't as big. I think it's a bit louder. But it's way cheaper, and it pulls up just as much dirt, dander, and hair. Glad I bought it; would buy it again."

$90! This is a bargain.

Pros: great cleaning power, easy to empty
"After assembling, I vacuumed an area that had recently been vacuumed with another vac. I was amazed at what it picked up. The dust container should be emptied after every vacuum, but that is very easy to do. The pet brush works, and so does the suction holder that cleans it. Very quiet sound and a long cord."

Okay but not Great!

"There are only two things I like about this vacumn: the brush and is quite. It is not as loud as my Dirt Devil which is also 12amps. The canister is too small and the hose is too short. It's an okay product for the price we paid - $97."

My favorite

Pros: suction power, price, almost ready to use right out of the box
Cons: lever handle is a little complicated to adjust to, heavy, hand helds are not as great
Model Number: 566494
"As weird as it may sound, I love to vacuum now because I can see how much cleaner my rug is becoming thanx to this machine. I dont worry about letting my hairy friend in the house because this vacuum will make sure to pick every last hair up. Not too crazy about the hand helds but the suction power on the vacuum itself is amazing!"
