Eureka 3670M Canister Cleaner, Lightweight Powerful Vacuum for Carpets and Hard floors, w/ 5bags,Yellow

THIS SMALL VACUUM CLEANER IS LIGHT WEIGHT BUT PLASTIC ISN'T AS GOOD AS MY OLD MIGHTY MIGHT. THE HOSE IS CHEAPLY MADE BUT WORKS FINE FOR MY USE. I DO LIKE THE TOOLS BEING ATTACHED TO THE BODY SO NOT TO LOSE ANYTHING. IT HAS GREAT POWER & IS EASY TO USE. IT HAS SEVERAL TOOLS AS WELL AS A BRUSH FOR DUSTING. IT HAS A LONG ATTACHED CORD & THE HOSE IS LONGER AS WELL.

My needs - I have a house with laminate flooring and large and small rugs, wool and synthetic, carpeted stairs, and upstairs is entirely carpet. (I haven't tried cleaning the car yet, no doubt that's going to be a success.) First off, this machine has outstanding suction. I've had it one week and there's a lever on the top you can push to allow air flow for vacuuming back and forth or just single flow for straight suction and it get the job done. There is so much suction created around it that it's even coated in wool rug fibers or dog hair that didn't make it inside. I don't even need to go back twice, the suction is so good. Be prepared, it feels incredibly lightweight, maybe even cheap. I thought, how can this thing be well made? But it does everything I need it to do. The lightweight factor is wonderful when vacuuming each carpeted stair and dragging it up and down the stairs. So, this is actually a huge plus. There are 2 pipes that you connect for length when vacuuming the floor. On the stairs I take one pipe out and the length is perfect. The head is wide enough that it's effective for vacuuming (again, one stroke works for my short length rugs), but it's flat enough that it fits under everything - low chairs, couches, etc. If I push the lever on the head down flat, I can't draw it back and forth easily (the suction is too strong), but it's flat, so I can push it waaay back under the couches and get that dust that is so hard to reach without moving the couches. This is a big plus for me. The pipes all connect by friction, just pushing them together. Sometimes they pop off if you catch something and pull too hard, but my last ($450) vacuum (which was heavier but I loved) broke beyond repair when the connector to the head snapped where there was a locking mechanism, and that part is now discontinued. So frustrating!! So, this little vacuum seems like it will be less likely to "snap" anywhere because the parts will disconnect under pressure. I hope that turns out to be the case. My son assembled the unit and I used it right away. Forgot to add a bag and I was very upset - but the bag is inside already! Well done, Eureka!! The cons to this machine, as far as I can tell after multiple uses in the first week, are that there is no automatic cord winding mechanism. But, the cord is longer than my last machine - if I plug it in the middle of the house, it reaches the ends of both sides of the house. Obviously this depends on your home, but my other vacuum was just a few feet short. I can then also vaccum the entire stairs and then move the cord 1 time to get the entire house. I don't like winding the cord, so in a pile it goes if I'm lazy. Worth it for not having to move that cord!! This is not a self propelled machine. You must push the vacuum, it does not "propel" itself with a turning brush. There is a brush, but it's not motorized. I am a reasonably strong 40+ woman and I am happy to push it, but if you have medical issues and can't push it, this could be a more physical job. I expect vacuuming to be work, so I'm fine with this and feel the low cost is worth it. I believe it also is related to the reduced weight of the machine and its tools. I hope this review is thorough and helpful for those making a decision. I never purchase warranties, but given the lightweight nature of this machine, I think I would have considered it. I paid $81 for this machine after taxes. I would definitely be described as frugal and cost conscious. Considering the varied reviews and high cost of other well rated machines, I am very happy with my purchase! I don't write reviews very often, but I want other consumers to know the pros and cons so they can make an educated decision.

What do I say about this little vacuum? It is AWESOME, but yet I'm still a teensy bit disappointed? I guess I was hoping for a complete upright replacement, and yeah, it isn't. I have 2 rugs of short, yet very dense pile that will still need my old upright for a deeper 'rug beater ' clean. That said, this little vac works GREAT on my bare floors (90%) of my home. Sucks dirt and particles I didnt even know I had out from under my baseboards, (using just the wand with no brush or crevice tool , a few pine needles from a 'live' Christmas tree 2 years ago came out and paint chips from a reno 7 years ago came out!) I got super nasty dust off my ceiling fans with the little brush attachment thing without significant effort on my part and likewise was able dust my winow blinds with same attachment and minimizing the level of 'suck' by opening the adjustment port on the handle. Very impressive! Still, I wish I could vacuum my two nice rugs. It works well on my Home Depot shaggy rug and my Home Depot 'Oriental' rug, but yeah either sucks too hard and get stuck on my good rugs or it just skips over the surface and doesn't suck anything. So. I am still giving 5 stars as a tool to add to my home cleaning arsenal. Truly I am impressed. That said, depending on your rug situation, be aware, it may not be great for every rug type. For me, given 90 percent of my house is hardwood floors or tile, this will be my go to the majority of the time, it gets under most of my furniture and bookcases, it's pulling stuff out of nooks and crannies on my baseboards and the seams of my couches and recliner, (goodbye Sunday binging TV cookie crumbs) it is sucking up all the dog hair dust bunnies (I have a labrador and a bulldog, although honestly, the bulldog doesn't shed much but my labrador sure does!) And without mopping, my hardwood has rarely looked this shiny. So, even though I was hoping to completely replace my upright I will say, I am very pleased with the performance of this little vac. For the price? Really, I don't think you will be dissatisfied. 5 stars after 2 hard core uses (every scenario I could think of to put it through). We'll see how it goes in 6 months. The extension poles ARE plastic, not metal, if they hold up , we'll be golden. The plastic doees keep it very light though which is why the ceiling fans weren't difficult. So I'll take it. Oh, last thing the attachments and cord stow away nicely, the wand and hose, not so much. I have a bigger utility loset so that doesn't bother me, but if you need your vacuum to be really 'tidy' in storage, you may want to take that into consideration.

Pros: 1) very light and easy to carry; 2) has powerful suction on bare floors and with the crevice tool; 3) very affordable price; 4) has easy to change bags (I think bagless vacuums are gross to clean especially since we have a chihuahua who sheds her body weight in fur); Cons: 1) really loud. Wear ear plugs or go deaf; 2) utterly useless on carpet; 3) handle pole extension wand too easily comes apart, so it can accidentally come apart when vacuuming under chairs, etc. Overall, I am glad that I bought this little Eureka Mighty Mite vacuum. I will still keep my heavy Kenmore for area rugs and carpets, but this Eureka does a great job on bare laminate floors and saves my back.

I like this device. It is lightweight, easy to maneuver and easy to use. Also, the suction is strong. I used this as a spot cleaner or special use only. The price was great for that purpose. Do not expect this vacuum cleaner to perform like a higher priced standup vacuum cleaner because it will not. So, do not waste your money if that is what you are expecting from this device. Although the unit does have a powerful suction motor, it lacks accessories normally included with some vacuums such as an input vacuum head with rollers for floor use. The floor accessory for this vacuum has no rollers and might scratch a delicate flooring such as wood. Also, vacuum bags were easy to change. A very good quality product that I would buy again. Dave

To be honest I really wasn't expecting THAT high of a ceiling for this Eureka, at least given this vacuum's $130ish price tag. After going through a slew of upright vacs and now swearing off the cursed Shark brand forever, as well as trundling through a couple of inexpensive and thoroughly fragile stick vacuums, both my wife and I FINALLY decided that we needed to go back to a cannister-style machine way-of-life. Both of us miss our old and sadly long-expired Electrolux cannister, but unfortunately that company has abandoned that style vac for its own series of uprights. Oh well...even the good ones can be dumb...it's now on with the search. I decided that we really didn't need to spend several hundred dollars on a new vac, at least for now. Our old Electrolux was around $400 thirtysomething years ago, which translates to almost $970 in today's money at the date of this review. Yowch; no I'm definitely NOT going there. Instead I decided to take a chance and buy cheap...er...inexpensive. I did a search for cannister-style vacs on Amazon and found a few very positively reviewed examples from Eureka. Intrigued, I did the proverbial deep dive into some of those units and came away with the feeling, "not bad" with regards to the brand. Besides, we've had a bit of prior experience with the brand through a chunky handheld corded vac that we bought several years back that has held up quite well over the years. But instead of sticking with the one of their heavily reviewed cannister units, I saw this one with very few reviews (maybe one or two had posted at the time of its purchase by us, both VINE reviews) and decided, why not? In my mind the $130 price wasn't expensive, certainly not compared to the money we spent and ultimately wasted on Shark uprights, and nowhere close to what we spent on our last cannister, the Electrolux, even ignoring the 33-year adjustment for inflation. What could possibly go wrong? Well, not a heck of a lot actually. This NEN170 set up and worked like a honest-to-goodness vacuum right out of the box. It works just fine on our hardwood and solid laminate floors, does the area rugs justice and has enough reach to get to dust and cobwebs lingering up in the hinterlands of our home. It's a plus that it's HEPA-rated, has decent capacity for its compact size AND has a strong, easily retractable power cord mechanism that we've forever missed from our cannister vacs of yore. After a month of relatively steady use, we couldn't have expected anything better, right? Well, not exactly. There ARE a few things that we miss. This Eureka doesn't come with a boatload of accessory attachments. It doesn't have a powered agitator head with a headlight on the end of its hose/wand assembly. Things that some of our past, more SPENDY vacuums came standard with. Sometimes you just wind up spoiling yourself with stuff, and wish that you can continue the trend as time goes one. But then I remind myself of the price of admission for this Eureka...and all is golden once again. As it turns out, several of the attachments from past vacs that I kept around in a plastic tub in the hall closet fit onto the NEN170's wand and hose PERFECTLY; sometimes it does pay to be a bit of a hoarder, if you have the room to make that work. So fortunately the gripe about missing attachments is now a non-issue. YMMV however. The powered agitator...well, this Eureka didn't cost us $970 or even $400, so keeping THAT in mind, it's a loss that we can easily live with. The suction power of this vac is ample enough to deal with the amount of filth that we generate and so far do it with nary a protest, so how bad can it be, really? Not bad AT ALL as it turns out. For the money, FIVE SOLID STARS all day long and into the night (though I'm really not into nightime vacuuming, per se). Anyways, Happy Vacuuming 2U! (geez, that sounds so disingenuous...)

I have used this vacuum twice since I got it and have no complaints so far. It is lightweight, has strong suction, and easy to use. I love that I can vacuum under my bed and couch, and the cord is long enough that I dont need to unplug it halfway thru cleaning. One thing though, is that one of the parts occasionally falls off, so I plan on duct taping it. I cant speak to the longevity of the vacuum, but so far, so good

My wife of 65 years used with full satisfaction the famous Electrolux Vac for about 45 years of our marriage. Several other models disappointed us until we settled for the longest usage time on the SHARK, although it requires frequent hands-on time robbing cleaning of the rollers, taking it apart. We have a loved dog who drops black hair like dandruff on a first date! When I learned that EUREKA bought out Electrolux, my interest peeked greatly and after as much investigation I could do on this pretty new product, I took the leap. We are thrilled with the power. In fact it is SO powerful, we have to open up the vent provided in the plastic suction pipe to relieve some of the suction power - - OTHERWISE it's suction power is SO powerful, it is almost impossible to push the suction foot / floor part once it grabs a suction hold on our tile floor, in order to push it along! So what's the problem? The three connection points for the upright can I say "pipe" - the solid suction pipe that connects your hand-hold part to the floor/carpet "sweeper" part....falls apart within MINUTES !!! of vacuuming! Seconds at times! I've pounded them IN as hard as I can, using a block of wood. Does not last long. Other than drilling a hole and inserting a tiny screw (IF I have one - - doubtful!!!) OR my next idea is to sand the male insert portions to see if THIS will hold long enough to allow us to complete a vacuuming job! This is a VERY Sloppy job of Quality Control for this - otherwise, "seeming/suggesting" a machine that will last YEARS like the old GREAT Electrolux Vac. I hope many customers will complain enough to force either some "corrected" pipe hoses FREE to replace the ones we early customers have purchased this - - potentially - - GREAT selling Vac! Otherwise it holds all the portions of being a GREAT light-weight, easy to use, non-nonsense Vacuum!
