Eureka Altima Bagless Upright Vacuum - 2961AVZ Reviews

The Eureka Altima 12 amps vacuum is very impressive. We live in a part of the desert where the soil is a refined clay, so it not only gets onto (and into)  everything, it adheres itself. So lots of vacuuming amongst other things is an absolute necessity. And the Eureka handles it extremely well. Very durable product. The self cleaning duster wand is a bit of a hassle to operate, but it does work.The vacuum cup holds a lot of dirt, and in itself has a strong motor. It has multiple cups  and filters that should it become plugged up, it most likely has to do with either washing off the filters or...

I've only had this vacuum for about 3 months and I'm ready to throw it away.  It is not worth the trouble it takes to constantly unclog it.  I've just about taken it completely apart looking for reasons why it loses suction.  I've cleaned out everything.  It will work fine the next time I use it, but after one use, it's back to losing suction and spitting dirt back out.  Today, there was a cloud of dirt coming out the front and from the side.  I keep the dirt cup emptied.  Also, having to reach up above the cup and pull out the yellow gizmo is a pain in the butt.  It's hard to line back...

I went in looking for a replacement for a vaccum that I had bought just two months prior. I found it in the eureka altima. This vaccum picks up everything! I love the on board tools it picks up pet hair and I mean pet hair I have 2 dogs that love my sofa. The self cleaning duster is great and I don't feel like it is just going back in the air because it goes in the vaccum. It has a cord that is long enough to get the job done and not have to keep stopping to plugit into another outlet. It is very easy to use and I haven't had any issues with this vaccum thankfully. The unit is easier to empty...

I love this vacuum. I have a step-son and 3 nieces and 1 nephew that stay in my house quite a bit and also a dog and 3 cats. I try to vacuum 1-2 times a week and everytime I do I am amazed at the dirt this thing picks up. Yes, the yellow filter above the dirt cup clogs occasionally but if you vacuum more often and don't let the hair, dirt, dust, etc build up it will not get clogged. The only thing that I would change about this vacuum is how the hose is connected at the bottom of the vacuum leaving less hose to work with. On the other hand, the power cord is plenty long enough for you to move around...

I've had this vacuum for 2 years. It worked ok for the first couple times, after that it has been nothing but problems. I hate it more everytime I use it. I have to take apart the hoses and clean them out after every use because they get plugged up with cat hair. I've never had that problem with any other vacuum. It seems to just move stuff around instead of sucking it up and as soon as I turn it off, the stuff I vacuum falls right back out onto the floor.

I realize this is an inexpensive machine-I have no children or pets so cleaning should be easy. After every use as I wade through emptying the dust from the cup and dust off the machine I find it not worth the time and trouble.The Eureka Ultima looks good in the store-dont waste your money.
