Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 431BX Optima Lightweight Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: Yes its got its quirks but it lasted me 6 years!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this model 6 years ago while in Alaska and it has held up through 3 children and 6 moves. It is missing a wheel now, and it has finally started to be completely unusable but I would say I got my moneys worth since it did in fact last me so long. I was very rough on it cleaning up everything from spilled flour to pet bedding and dog food. I ended up breaking the filter off from the lid but it still stays where it needs to be when the lid is closed, and every once in a while I had to cut string and hair out of the brush. all in all, its had its moments but I really loved mine and am considering buying a second one now that my old one had finally bit the dust! Also, it was used on carpet-less floors but what I did was sweep and then use the hose to suck up the pile... as other people have mentioned it has a habit of blowing dust AWAY from the vacuum.Customer Review: Suprised & Happy with it
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this machine a few months ago and am very pleased with it. It sucks up great! I wasn't expecting it to do much better than my old vacuum, which died. This thing pulls up so much cat hair I have to clean the filter twice in each room. I have a covered trash can - so it's easy. Dust doesn't go flying everywhere.
After the house is done, I rinse out the filter with hot water and let air dry. I love the bare floor setting too, I can go from one end of the house to the other in less than 30 minutes without stopping (with the extension cord). Then just mop the kitchen and bathrooms going back the other way. This machine has helped the dust and pet dander in the house so well, my pet allergies are just about gone and my cat's asthma (yes, my cat has asthma) symptoms has drastically improved.
Highly recommended!
Customer Review: soooo cute and works really well!
Summary: 5 Stars
i wanted it because it was soo cute, but really tried to talk myself out of it and into a big ugly monster. the last cute vac i bought sucked, well, i mean it didn't suck
it didnt do anything
so i thought this one would be smilar but it said that it had the same power as the bigger ugly monsters and it has a spinny brush thing that none of the other small vacs have
it is lime green and sparlkey
i decided to give it a try
i am soo happy
the only problem so far is that it does shut itself off when it is clogged or something
you have to push the reset button, if you dont read the directions you wont know that there is a reset button and think it is broken, but it isnt. can freak you out if you are expecting it to be junky like all the others you might have tried.
i love it!

This is a powerful little bugger! Yes, small, doesn't push so well and you have to buy filters.... but, what do you expect for $60??? I went to best buy to see a few options and the guy said, you either spend $400-? on a dyson or buy one for $60. That made sense to me and I didn't want to spend hundreds. I have 3 boys and a huge playroom with carpet and 5 bedrooms with carpet. This is so nice to take upstairs and down. Just hold vacuum at an angle so it doesn't blow dirt around and you're fine. This is the cheapest place I found for filters... MarBeck.com item #62396_x4 Eureka dust cup pleated filter DCF-10 62396, 4 packages. With shipping it comes to about $40 for 4. Otherwise, Eureka sells them for $14.99 each. Enjoy. Great vacuum! PS My 2 year old thinks it is a toy and sometimes he vacuums for me. : )Customer Review: SIMPLY AMAIZING!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
And it really is. We just bought our first house and were considering buying Electrolux vacuum cleaner, we've tried it in the store, and the suction was pretty impressing as well as the lightweightness, but since it was $400 in stores we decided to look for a better price on the internet. That's fine, but I needed vacuum cleaner right now, because carpet in our basement looked just ridiculous. So I went to Target and choose something to use temporarily, until we buy the one that we've wanted - it happened to be Eureka Optima. What can I say - suction is absolutely the same as Electrolux, same power brush option for heavier carpet cleaning, same light weight and also very cute looking, BUT $59.00 instead of $400.00 - does it mean anything to you? I think so. We are going to keep this one - it's a winner!
