I receive this Eureka Vacuum by Fedex yesterday afternoon 11\/10\/09 . I run this vacuum and find it be more powerful than Hoover , Dyson , Electroux and other brand . I be happy that it do pick up lot of dirt from my carpet than my old vacuum cleaner Electrolux that leave behind . this Eureka really do the job easy and do pick up cat hair , wow ! my parent use have a old Eureka back in the old day in the 30 's until 1971 . I be not satisfy with first three Electrolux which do quit and burn out before and after ten year of use . I do try out other Vacuum cleaner that I do not like . I do try out the Eureka last thing to try it and like the way it do the job . then I bring it . I be happy that go back to the old day like the same eureka do the job and now it be even more powerful than other vacuum on the market . try one on any Eureka vacuum model and you will like it very much as I do . brownbat
