Eureka Altima Vacuum Reviews

The Eureka Altima Vacuum is very light weight so I can carry it up and down the stairs. Speaking of stairs, the power paw does a wonderful job cleaning them. Its fast and easy. It's also good to vacuum dust off and out of the furniture and if you have drapes it's very useful to clean those as well.

We have both tile and carpet, this vacuum does a fairly good job on the tile and really good on the carpet. If you have cats that shed, it's very good for that.

The attachments are handy and easy to use. All compact on the unit so as not to be lost.

The straight edge attachment does a great job of...

Recently my vacuum that I loved and had used for 10 plus years finally died.  With two young children and a tight budget, I headed to the store to find a cheap replacement until I could save for a more expensive model.  I was able to pick up the Eureka Altima for around 40.00 and really liked it for awhile.  The suction seems to work really great, and the bagless container is relatively easy to empty.  Unfortunately, it is very dusty where I live, so even though I vacuum 2 to 3 times per week, the dust collects.  The filters on this vacuum must be taken out and washed when they get full, which...

I purchased the Eureka Altima Bag-less vacuume with the self cleaning duster and hepa filteration. I paid around $100.00 for the item. I have had it for almost 1 yr. and have went threw 4 belts. I have one short haired dog and 3 kids to pick up after, and this product has cased nothing but grief. It clogs up every other use and I have found my self having to un screw the roller Gard and ajust the belt allot. There is no such thing as quickly vacume in my house. The self dust attachment broke 2months after I purched it. and the headlight shorted out soon after. Yes I did replace the bulbs. The...

I will never buy another Eureka again, due to my experience with the Altima.  It worked good for awhile, but soon it started not wanting to pick up all the dirt.  I'd be vacuuming, and my feet/ankles would get pelted with dirt.  It was flying from the bottom of the vacuum.  The telescopic duster bends easily & has even come apart a few times.  (The duster part falls off the stick.)  Then, recently, it started smoking and smelled like burnt rubber.  I thought the belt might need replaced, so I went out and bought a new belt.  Replaced the belt, and tried to vacuum.  Again, the smell of...

I can't remember ever cussing at a vacuum cleaner before.  The wife bought this POS at Wal-Mart and thought is was a good deal.  NOT!

Very Poor Design:

• Foam filter needs cleaned before every use.
• Does not pick-up very well, scatters dirt and debris.
• Hose is too short, has a retaining loop near the bottom the hose will not come out of.
• Self Cleaning Duster housing not well constructed, comes apart and difficult to seal properly.
• Power cord storage bracket will break, and did.  Very tiny piece of plastic to retain upper movable bracket broke.

I was going to post a video of me beating the crap out of...

I really wanted this vaccum.  I even researched it. But the Eureka Altima stinks.  The telescopice dust brush was so hard to get out of the holder it broke.  The hose is so tight you can't extend it very far and you have to actually fight to pull it far  enough away from the vaccum to use it properly.  When I am just vaccuming the dirt flies our from under ,doesn't even go into the vaccum, the dirt hits me in the feet.   I would not reccomend this vaccum to anyone.  I can't wait to buy a new one.
