Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka LightSpeed Upright Vacuum, Bagless, 4700D
Customer Review: One Word, Beastly
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my Eureka Lightspeed 4700D for almost a month now, my friend Nick has had his Maxima 4700D for alot longer, about 8 - 9 months I believe. Both of us can attest, THIS is a quality vacuum. Save for one time where my timing belt snapped the day after I bought it, which was completely my fault, the suction was so powerful when I was vacuuming my grandma's room that it sucked up one of my grandma's heavy-duty blankets and caused the belt to snap, I've had zero problems with this thing. It has picked up so much dust, pet hair, and debris off the floors of my house that it's ridiculous. I'm so glad I bought one of these for the downstairs of my house, it actually makes me WANT to clean it at least every other day if I can. Never really had a vacuum do that to me before, that's for sure. **LOL**
Plus, the cord that is attached to the vacuum itself is ridiculously long. I kid you not when I say from the second outlet of my downstairs, the one nearest the entrance door, I was able to clean the staircase from bottom to top and still have a few inches to comfortably place the vacuum upstairs while I went downstairs to pull the plug out of it's socket and bring the cord itself upstairs without any problems. And when cleaning my grandma's bedroom and my bedroom, I was amazed at how might brighter the color got after a few sweeps with the thing, and of course, the blobs of dust and debris that formed in the canister could only be described as "alien-like" because they were so huge. The feather-light weight of the vacuum makes hauling it a crap ton easier too, so bear that in mind when you decide to buy this thing.
There are but a couple flaws, one of them being that the hose, which is multi-function and actually serves as the artery that dust and debris picked up from the brushroll section travels through to get to the canister. You see, this is a brilliant, but flawed design. Mainly due to the fact that the hose keeps falling out of it's respective place. However, just a couple seconds takes care of that. The other being the vents in the front sometimes blowing things around that you want to pick up off the floor. But these are small flaws in an otherwise awesome vacuum. I really have no complaints about it, it's a great machine for 60 bucks. And it's mad easy to replace any part from it. Plus I got a three year warranty on the thing so if anything goes wrong, I can return it and get a new one.
This really is a quality vacuum, and trust me, I have a Eureka Optima that I spent about the same amount to get some 6 years ago now and it's still as powerful as the day I brought it home. Eureka does make a quality product, and you can bet I will be buying another one of these badboys for my room and for the upstairs in general. I have no regrets of buying this thing, considering that it makes me feel good about cleaning my house? Totally I am a fan. Get one for yourself and you'll see the Eureka difference in no time flat.
Customer Review: A Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this vacuum cleaner online about a week ago and just got it delivered. I did not know I had some assembly to do. It comes in a few parts--less than a dozen, and there are about six or seven screws that have to be secured during assembly. But this is easy, and I had the machine assembled in 20 minutes or so.
It is very lightweight but as powerful as the most expensive vacuum cleaners. It really sucks powerfully, and is easy to move around--a big virtue for a vacuum cleaner. I think if Microsoft made it, it would be the only product of theirs that didn't suck, but fortunately it is made by Eureka. The whole thing is plastic. I turned it on and cleaned up the rug in my family room. It got up far more dust than I expected for such a short sweep. The container for the dust is large enough so it can clean more than one room before it needs emptying. I did notice that the plastic dust container had developed a crack near its top (on the first use, no less), however I don't think it is serious because I can apply some crazy glue to it, and if worse comes to worst, I can bandage the dust bin with duct tape. Perhaps the dust bin should be engineered more solidly. But that is the only minus for this machine. It is a simple, unadorned, rudimentary, basic vacuum cleaner at a very reasonable price, and it does what it is supposed to do quite well. Now, we shall see how long it lasts. I would recommend this machine to people who seek value for their money.
Customer Review: Great Vacuum, Great Price? Eureka!

I bought this today at Lowe's for $59 and would have ordered it here, but I needed it now. My old Dirt Devil wasn't even picking up the dust bunnies anymore after 3 years. This was actually my third choice of what was available at the store since they were out of my first two selections. I happened upon an great accident. I was just looking for something to pick up "the big stuff" until I could convince my hubby to buy a Dyson. Granted, I don't own a Dyson and can't compare apples to oranges, BUT...regardless of how cheap it was, it does an AMAZING job. We have two indoor cats (one longhair, one short) and a small crawling child, so it is imperative that the floors be clean.
It took maybe 10 minutes and screwdriver to get it together. Once turned on, I was surprised at how light it was and it was "hugging" the carpet. Our living room and kitchen are an open floor plan, so there's tile in the kitchen and carpet in the living room and the automatic height adjust transitions from one to the other with equal performance. Before I ran it, I thought the house was pretty clean anyway. Based on the stuff I was getting in the canister from the living room, I did the whole house. It took a couple of times of emptying the can, but it does such a great job. I'm truly blown away and may not have to get the Dyson for quite a while. The mother in law is coming to see the grandbaby this weekend and I'm confident that the floor are clean enough for her.
Customer Review: Easy to put together, lightweight, most of all POWERful
Summary: 5 Stars
Old Dirt Devil upright suffered a broken hose a few weeks ago so used it as an excuse to get a new vac. The Dirt Devil was heavy, bulky and had too many parts. Couldn't tell you how many times I stubbed my toe on the thing The Eureka 4700B is an awesome vacuum. I just put together and cleaned about five rooms today. Lightweight easy to maneuver and best of all powerful. My wife was able to easily move it around with one hand. I picked it up with ease. (note to vacuum companies - the lighter the vacuum the better - no one needs the added weight of headlights, etc.) This vac picks up everything on all terrains, carpet, hardwood. Comes with extension tube for hose, crevice device and brush attachment. Everything works as advertised and thus far packs and transports well - everything on the Dirt Devil used to fall off. A bonus: If you have one of those magic brush attachments on your old vacuum (great on furniture) it will probably fit on the hose of the Eureka. I connected the attachment from my Dirt Devil anbd it worked even better than on the original unit. Favorite part about the unit thus far is the trash cannister. Particles collect really nicely in this unit and when ready to empty everything pretty much slides right out. No mess - which was a problem with the Dirt Devil. I know it has been a day but so far very very good. If you are in the market for a vac and don't want to spend a ton, this might be a match made in heaven, well done Eureka.Customer Review: Great compromise between quality, performance, and price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been living in my apartment for 2 nearly months before I realized I had "overlooked" the fact that I don't have a vacuum cleaner. So I looked around online at reviews and etc. I ended up with this vacuum.
First of all, when I moved in, the apartment did a fantastic job cleaning up, the carpet had been shampooed and cleaned. I also do not wear shoes inside. So to the naked eye...my carpet looked pretty clean...no dirt, visible blemishes...etc.
I bought this vacuum from Fry's, they were running an online special for $47.99. Assembly was pretty straight forward. My first impression was at how light this thing was. It didn't feel cheap and flimsy...but still light.
Anyway, I vacuumed my entire apartment including the hard floor areas. As mentioned above to the naked eye...my floors looked reasonably clean, so you can imagine my surprise when I turned it off and took the filter out...it was full. Kind of gross really but it shows how well this thing works on carpet with nothing visible on it.
For those of you who say this vacuum has weak suction, you obviously have a defective product or simply didn't assembly it properly. Or the simplier reason is probably that you're used to a more powerful expensive vacuum.
For the performance you get and the price you pay...this thing is a steal.
I haven't owned it that long but I'll edit my review should anything come up!
