What an AWFUL vacuum. Well, you get what you pay for I guess. We put up with it for 2 years because money was tight. What a joke! We have two basset hounds who shed all year, this "vacuum" would merely flatten the dog hair into the carpet and pick up only a fraction of it. The "filter" would need to be cleaned after each use otherwise there was little to no suction. The cup was gross, we will never use bagless again, dust everywhere! Bought a Kenmore upright with hepa filter bags a month ago. Worth its weight in gold! Just say no to the Altima by Eureka, save yourself the hassel and throw down a few more dollars and buy a REAL vacuum.

This vacuum requires a lot of (dirty) maintenance. If you do not clean the filter, hose and dust catcher before each use it just throws what it is picking up out behind it. I have mostly hardwood floors with large area rugs. I dust the hardwood floors AFTER I am done vacuuming and pick lint up off the carpets. I loved it the first few months that I had it, but it is going downhill quickly. I am moving this one to the basement and going back to Kenmore.....sorry

Horrible product. Bought it at Target based on reviews. The main screw holding it all together not properly lined up so handle stays loose. Vacuum sprays more dirt around than it picks up. It picks up hair pretty good as long as it didn't blow it away first! Would never recommend this product to anyone-even my worst enemy! Even my daughters complain that it is a piece of junk! Don't buy, don't buy, don't buy!!!
