Eureka Hand-Held Vacuum 71B

Eureka Hand-Held Vacuum 1 motor powers the revolving brush, second motor for suction. Strong 5.5 amp suction with stretch hose cleans cars, upholstery, and stairs. Hand-held but very powerful, this Eureka model eliminates the hassle of lugging around a full-size vacuum for cleaning car upholstery, sofas, and carpeted stairs. One of Eureka’s innovations is the Riser Visor, a clear plastic cover that stays down for cleaning horizontal surfaces and flips up so the revolving brush can reach the vertical carpet on stair risers. When the cover is in the normal position, the brush roll action is toward the bottom side of the nozzle to clean flat areas such as stair steps or upholstery.

The Eureka Hand-held vacuum even removes the deeply embedded dirt from anywhere in your home or car. It is Ideal for cleaning stairs and auto upholstery. This hand vacuum cleans with the help of a revolving brush roll with Riser Visor, a stretch hose and attachments for getting into hard to reach spaces. The Riser Visor nozzle flips to easily clean upholstery and stairs vertically or horizontally. With its ability to provide a quick yet comprehensive clean, it has formally been named ‘Quick-Up.’ For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust or similar fine substances, the dust cup and filter may need cleaning more often. A long 20-foot cord (which wraps for storage) provides good reach, as does the deluxe hose that stretches to three times its length. It works like a charm cleans everything right up. Good power & the flip cover that enables you to vacuum the vertical part of the stairs is genius. This is a solid, powerful vacuum. Well this thing works great. this is *perfect*.

This is the most incredible handheld sweeper that I have ever owned! I love everything about it… even the color! I like the brushes. I like the suction power. I like that it has a long cord and a place to wrap and store the cord. I like that it has a hose already attached and ready to use at a moments notice. I like that it has a tool attachment for the hose hidden in the back of the unit. I like that it has a clear and easy to empty dust compartment on top. I like that it has a plastic door in front of the brush that can transform it into a vertical sweeper (I move the plastic door into the vertical position to sweep the backs of my car seats, the back of fabric chairs and the backs of my staircase steps). It does a fantastic job on carpeted stairs! This sweeper immediately replaced my old handheld sweeper that did not have many of these wonderful features! I used to have to manually plug the hose into the sweeper which, trust me, was not an easy job… thankfully I don’t have to do that anymore! I also used to have to wrap the cord around the sweeper and it had a cloth bag which would put a ton of dust into the air when emptied and shook out. This is a MUST HAVE cleaning tool – remember WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER!

It is a really good vacuum with a lot of power. Just one thing I would like to suggest — moving the hose to the center instead of on one side. When I use that to vacuum desk, I have to have one hand hold the vacuum, one hand hold the hose. Then no hand for moving items on the desk.
