This is the best vacuum I have ever used. The canister is easy to empty and it picks up amazingly well.

A little tough to put together but all in all works like a charm. Really Sucks dirt and does it well. I would buy it again. Easy to get rid of nasty dirt in the canister.

The vacuum works well for what it's intended need is. If you have animals that shed, you will have to take out the filter every other time to clean off the hair and fur as it gets trapped.

Eureka used to sell a quality product, but the last two (including this model) are poor products. The first few times you use the vacuum, you will be impressed at how much suction they have. After that, it is all downhill. You will find yourself constantly cleaning filters, buying filters and performing maintenance to keep the level of suction that you had when you first purchased. Spend the money upfront and get a better vacuum from a better manufacturer.

For the price does a great job!
This eureka maxima really does work well.
picked up particles very well.
moved into new apt and it suck up so much hair off the carpet.
well, carpet was cleaned ,but I ran the vacuum and unbeleiveable stuff came up off carpet.
But I need to order extra filter just in case.
