 - eureka hand-heldReading the previous comments prior to purchase made my decision over the dirt devil brand. This product really does have great suction and I've used it for sanding dust, as well as stairs, and quick spot clean ups. The dirt cup is convenient to empty and its really simple to use. I would purchase other eureka products based on the performance of this one. Rating: - Only one problemI have gone through one cordless after another so I decided to buy a corded hand vac and chose this one due to the many high ratings. Here is what I like: *Powerful, *quiet for the power, *long cord, *not too heavy, *really digs down deep to clean even better then my favorite upright!, *easy to empty out the dirt. Here is what I didn't like: *Hose is way to short to be useful, *Hose detached for use aims in the same direction as the blower on the back of the unit so when you go to suck up the dirt it blows across the room while you chase it around like a circus clown act!, *the filter clogs quickly. All in all I'm happy with it and ordered the Electrolux car attachment kit which offers a longer hose that fits great as do the attachments included in the kit. With the longer hose you can aim it opposite the blower and avoid shooting dirt across the room. My hoover upright attachments also fit so I can use the extender tubes and reach ceiling fan blades too. Rating:  - Hold on for a great rideThis vacuum is great, it has a lot of power so hang on. Very neat at getting into those areas that the larger vacs can't reach. The attachment is very handy, dirty creases look out, your time is up. Easy to clean, I use a real cheap 1" dry paint brush to clean filter. I have tried the Dirt Devil, not even close. Someone said the motor is noisy, if it bothers you try a nice quiet broom. Rating: - Sucks it head off!This Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum sucks its head off! In fact, it sucks so hard that it can be a tad hard to maneuver. I find the on\off switch on the top very, very tight, but I think the machine is just put together well! Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum I wonder if the reviewer whose machine stopped right away just received an anomaly - a bad machine that should have been returned. I don't know if Eureka is a problematic warranty guarantor and I hope I never have to find out. I have had mine for a while and it is STILL going strong. Overall, if you want outstanding hand-held suction, this Eureka 71B hand-held (or the Black & Decker CycloPro) will do the deed! Black & Decker CCV900 CycloPro Corded Hand Vac Rating: - Good tool but need a better designPro. suction power is strong, easy to use, brush can stir dust and help clean, basically, a good product Con. if possible, a new design could consider this, while using this on carpet floor, many times it becomes hard to move forward or backward if carpet is newer, I have to push with both hands, the right hand behind the product, bear the hot wind and have to shut it down every 30 minutes. The handle should be placed not on top but on top of back, and hot wind vent may re-routed to lower position. Place the handle in back top can also help women user easier to operate this small device. I am a man with 220 pounds, it is still difficult for me to operate it sometimes. 2 handles may be better than just 1. Think about this.
