I am not fickle about sweepers, I just expect a lot in one to make my life easier, especially since I have to sweep at least two times a day because of a busy household, food on the floors and pets. I have used the Swiffer Sweep and Vac, the Rubbermaid Dual Action Sweeper with limited or no success and the As Seen on TV Swivel Sweeper for Floors Vacuum (which I like but didn't survive a fight with pet hair and a dryer sheet).  After months of once again using a broom and dust pan my husband came home triumphantly bearing the Eureka Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner 160 Series, hoping to make his housekeeping diva wife happy finally with clean floors. 

The Eureka Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner 160 Series takes a whole two minutes to put together.  There is also a crevice tool, but no place to store it. To assemble, pull handle, open canister, place in filter, close, plug in and turn on. 

What I like about the Eureka Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner 160 Series

 

  • lightweight
  • easy to assemble
  • easy to use 
  • gets underneath the couch and in and around the cupboards
  • sweeps everything up even pet hair and food crumbs 
  • easy to clean canister and filter - simply dump and wash 
  • the price: approximately $27.99 
What I don't like about the Eureka Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner 160 Series

  • the cord is short 
  • it's troublesome to have to attach the crevice tool but even more trouble to find where I left it last since you can't attach it 
My Viewpoint:  Overall, the Eureka Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner 160 Series is so easy and inexpensive. It's lightweight and I can use it on just about anything - from tiles in the bathroom to hardwood floors. I have even used it on the area rug (just to see if it would work and it did. It does what I need it to do and it does it quickly.  The short cord is a problem but it is so nice to use even the teenager doesn't mind sweeping the floor -- now that's a vacuum I can love!
