Eureka Vacuum - Eureka Capture Plus Review

I bought this vacuum cleaner over a year ago and decided on this one mainly because of the "power paw" attachment.  I was hoping that it would make it easier to vacuum my stairs and couch.  Unfortunately it became quickly apparent that the power paw was not going to be a great accessory.  It gets clogged EVERY time I use it (but please note that this is largely because I have a long-haired dog that sheds) and it is not worth cleaning out every time.  I LOVE the washable filters, I have not had to replace them yet, but I am about to replace my second belt already.  I used to have a bag vacuum and I don't think I emptied it enough because it was hard to tell when it is full, so on the Eureka, I do like the bagless canister.  It is easy to empty and easy to see when it needs to be emptied (which for me is every time I use it).  The suction is still pretty good, but already not as good as when I purchase it.  The hose is not as long as I'd like (I don't use the attachments to clean the stairs as I had hoped, the hose is not long enough), but the feather duster is nice and it is simple to go from floor vac to attachment mode.  Recently two of the screws that hold the top on (you remove the top to change the belt) broke off and I am unable to screw them back on, so it rattles a bit, which is annoying.
