Eureka WhirlWind® Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum, 4242A

For its price point and what this vacuum offers...5 Stars!
I have reviewed quite a few vacuums around the $60-$100 price range and I realized, I have not reviewed a Eureka bagless upright vaccuum yet. So, I decided it's time for me to review the "Eureka "WhirlWind Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum".

I. ASSEMBLY

Putting the "Eureka WhirlWind Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum" was rather simple. Everything snaps in together and there are five screws that you need to put in and tighten with a Phillips and that's pretty much it. You get a free extra belt for the vacuum (for the wheels) included and everything was really easy to put together.

Just follow the instructions as shown and you'll put this vacuum together in less than half an hour.

II. FIRST IMPRESSIONS

My wife was excited because of the vaccums we have, including our expensive Dyson vacuum, none of them have a retractable cord. Granted, for me it's no big deal as I'm used to winding things up a lot, but my wife has been hoping for...

Powerful, Practical, and just Perfect
I wanted a vacuum cleaner that was easy to use, practical in functions, and was dependable. I didn't want a vacuum with a bag or something I would have to continually invest money into. My mom refused to buy a vacuum that Consumer Reports didn't rate high by brand. We currently have a Eureka Powerpack SmartVac, or something like that, and strongly suggested getting a Eureka. I researched this vacuum and figured it was exactly what I wanted.

After receiving it for a Christmas gift, I was eager to test it out. It definitely worked better than our other Eureka and was much easier to clean. After emptying the canister out, I rinsed it out with water, cleaned the filter, and let it dry over night. It was dry by the morning and ready to go again.

The assembly was easy. The set-up guide was easy to follow. All you needed was a Phillips to put it together. The attachments all had a little place to go.

The retractable cord is wonderful and fast. The suction is...

Great Price, Great Product - Love the retractable cord!
As someone with hair down to my waist and lots of it, I end up needing to vacuum quite often. My house is all rugs except for the kitchen which means it takes me an hour to do the house. So that is 1.5 hours hours of vacuuming 3 days a week. It is quite the task and needs to be done methodically. Every room including under and behind must be done! My kids have allergies so keeping the rugs clean of hair, pollen, dust and dirt is even more important for our family.

I have reviewed one other vacuum cleaner this year and when I visit family, you will find me asking to see what vacuum they use because we have never had one that really did what we needed it to do.

What I loved most:

The cord is nice and long (27 feet) which means less unplugging and replugging. Saves me quite a lot of time.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the stair accessory which looks like a little mini vacuum that you attach to the hose. So many other vacuums have nozzles but unless I am...
