Eureka Vacuum - Bagless Upright Vacuum - 2996AVZ Review

This vacuum is a total waste of money.  It broke down after the first use.  I was very careful with my new vacuum.  I made sure the floor was free of any objects other than the usual pet hair.  After using the vacuum on one large oriental rug (no fringe), and the surrounding hard wood floor, the machine stopped working.  The brush stopped turning, so I assume the belt broke and it wouldn't suck up anything but my time.  I never even got to try the "power paw", or the self cleaning duster.  It was overheating as well, and I noticed that when pulling out the bagless canister alot of dust covered the machine and my hands.  Very messy to change.  Dirt falls into the cracks of the "locking" device on the bagless cannister.  I noticed this after just one application.  I can't imagine what would happen to the locking device after many uses.  Thankfully I purchased it at Sam's Club and they are willing to take the vacuum back for a full refund.  I will now look for a much better machine.
