Description of Eureka 431BXZ Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum Cleaner
The new Eureka Optima offers the power of an upright at 1/2 the weight! It also features the ONLY soft-grip looped handle that adjusts to more than 8 positions so any user can find his or her optimal user height and ensures the most comfortable grip at any cleaning angle. Optima uses a 12-amp motor for deep cleaning your carpets like a full size upright, but weighs just 11 lbs. It also has an on/off brushroll for cleaning bare floors and on-board tools and a no-tip design for above the floor cleaning. The easy-empty dust cup has the same dust capacity a a full size upright and was designed so you don't touch the filter when emptying the cup.

Customer Review: GOOD BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
Summary: 5 Stars
O.K., When purchasing this, which I did over a year ago and comparing its effectiveness then to its effectiveness now, I had to give it a 5 star rating. First of all, I picked mine up for $60 bucks. For a $60 vacuum I'm pleased with the 12amps of power. I have never had a problem with this powering on or overheating in the year that I have used it. It's been used for my whole house, upstairs and down twice a week. The key here is to empty the dirt cup often and the filter. I have not had to buy one replacement filter. Mine came with 2 durable ones and they can be washed and reused. I clean the loose dirt and dust from the filter once between the upstairs and down. I used a hand tool on another vacuum to really get it dust free. Keeping the filter clean is key to maintaining strong suction and I think this little $60 cheapee does a great job. I use it on my hardwoods too. There's a switch to turn the beater bar off. It can be a small annoyance with the exhaust in the front, some small crumbs can be blown out of the way...but the price weighed against the features, versatility and effectiveness of this little machine make it more than worthwhile. Geez, it's not a $500 Dyson (which I also bought but returned! Dyson designed by a man, heavy and awkward, built for a man to lug, but way too heavy for me, it wasn't worth the coronary now matter how well it sucked!) If you don't vacuum you house but once every 2 months than yes, you can expect this one to clog and overheat!!!! The hose feature is great. You turn another knob to concentrate all the suction on the hose. Reliability, cost effective and easy to maneuver. This one is an A+. I have one upstairs and now bought one for down!
