a bit noisey but one of the BEST and for the price, THE BEST

The Hoover vaccuum is one of the top value choices via consumer reports and we just decided to give it a shot and we haven't been dissapointed. We have a small apartment and we really only use it on two smaller rugs and some bare floors, but we've had nothing but success with this product. The extension cord is PLENTY long, though we have a smaller apt. with outlets everywhere, but it's probably 20+ ft. long I would estimate.

Haven't really tried the extensions that come with it, but if you're just looking for a simple vaccuum that just does what it's supposed to and you're not worried about all the fancy tidbits, then this is for you.

This man is one Heck of a guy. I had a glitch in my shipping and he promptly answered ANY email I sent and very quickly corrected the issue- which was nothing he was responsible for, it was a USPS problem. The filter arrived, fit perfectly, and all is well with our vacuum once again. YEEEAAAAH!! I will most certainly do business with this man again. He's extremely no nonsense and very helpful and efficient. KUDOS!!

This is a marvelous HEPA Filter for your upright vaccum. I will say this only once and since I inserted it into my bagless upright, I have had no problems maintaining this product. It has also reduced the amount of allergens in the air, which is especially important because of all the cat dander and fur that floats around in my house.

Highly recommend purchasing. Just make sure it fits your vaccum cleaner before you purchase.

It cleans really well. You just have to make sure that your water is really hot. I love the compact design and the different colors that they come in. The only down side is that I had to refill the solution tank half way threw my cleaning. But that may be because I use the surge cleaning a lot and I think it uses more water.

I first saw this machine being demonstrated on one of the home shopping channels, but I turned to Amazon and there were lots of reviews, almost all were positive, so I bought one. I tried it on an area rug with is about 6 x 10. It worked very well, just in this area, I think I used half the solution tank and the recovery tank looked half full also or close to it. The detergent that comes with the machine is only 16oz, and it looks like you have to use lots of it, 2 caps for each time you fill it up. Other reviewers called it light, I am not sure about that, it had some weight, I have not done stairways yet, but it might be on the heavy side to drag up/down stairs. I bought more detergent, I would recommend that, the 16oz wont go to far. The carpet looked great, and dried in 3 hrs. I vacuumed it again, and it did pull up some stuff, very fluffy and nice on the feet. Good machine and worth the money.

I just cant believe that after all these years they have not perfected the vacuum. You'd think they could have done that by now but nooo...at least I havent found it. If you have, please email me and let me know what it is?

Anyway, first the good about this vacuum: I think the candy apple red color is beautiful. The suction on this thing is pretty amazing. Even though years back I vowed I wouldnt get a bagless vac because they are disgusting to empty, due to issues with my bag vac at the time giving me troubles with installing the bags and leaking stuff out every time I changed it, I decided to try this one...And I'll tell you - every time you fill that cup up you are AMAZED at the crap in your carpets. I think my family should all be dead with whats going on in our carpets!! LOL!! So you do get a feeling of accomplishment when you fill up the dirt cup. The fact that you can turn the roller brush off and that it goes off automatically when in the upright position is a nice feature.

Now the bad things: The worst problem is that if you over fill the dirt cup the dirt gets sucked up into the top portion of the collection cup, up by the filter and gets stuck there...so then you have to pull it out by hand (UUUHHHHHHGGGGG!!!!)...I even have to get my old vac out to clean up the mess inside the collection cup area.(the filter up there unscrews by hand, but there is still dirt that sticks up there). As a rule I try to empty the cup after vacuming each room but, godforbid you forget, or have an extra dirty room and it fills up faster then your stuck cleaning out the mess by hand etc...I find the lift off feature doesnt help me (maybe thats because I dont have stairs)...but when I tried to use the lift off feature to get to some tight areas, it tipped over and was so annoying that never again!! Mine didnt come with a strap, maybe if I had a strap and could carry it, it would be better. I also dont like the tools it comes with. I just dont think that they are very comfortable to use. Not all of them fit onboard the vacuum so you need a place to store them. I also dont think that the vac works that great on bare floors (whether the roller brush is on or off).

I just want a perfect vacuum...is that so wrong???

This is an excellent vacuum. I used to have Dirt Devil but I don't really like it because of the clean-up issue. This one does the job very well. I've used it for almost 2 years now and you can actually clean the parts easily. I don't understand about the comments made by the other reviewer. I don't really need to use screwdriver to clean the top part of this vacuum. All you need to do is just twist it and it will pop out.

Normally, I would clean the parts twice a year, and after that the vacuum cleaner works well after it's been clean.

I've had this vacuum for about 3 weeks now and so-far-so-good since it's a re-manufactured item. This vacuum sucks up just about everything and easy to dump the waste. My only complaint and it's not really a complaint...for the money...Dyson should give you more tools. I will probably purchase the long soft brush attachment for picture frames, etc. I would have given it 5 stars, but the price is high with bare minimum tools, and, also, the warranty was not good for the re-manufacture purchase. I would highly recommend this vacuum, especially if you have pets and kids. My home hasn't been this dust-less in years.

I read and read the reviews and debated and debated and finally ordered and do not regret making this purchase in the least. I was hesitant about getting a factory reconditioned but even more hesitant about paying $429 for a new one. When it got here, I was a little disappointed when I took it out of the box because it had some scuff marks and the canister was dirty. Once I turned it on and started vacuuming, though, all disappointment left and I have even put more scuff marks on it since and I don't care. It works great! I was dancing around all happy and my husband and daughter looked at me like I was crazy. It was waiting for me when I got home from a trip and I was exhausted but I still vacuumed the whole house! I mainly wanted it because I have a dog and it has been a chore to get her hair out of the carpet, I have allergies, and I love that you don't have to change filters. I just want everyone to know that all I had to do was vacuum over where a huge amount of her (dog) hair was and it all came up easily! I decided not to get the ones with attachments because the reviews were (overall) not positive and I didn't really see myself using them anyway. It does what I bought it for and I have even took it to my two offices (different counties) and vacuumed there and it worked well. I haven't had any problems with it not vacuuming (ratcheting others have spoke of) except once and it was thin carpet so I put it on bare floors and it worked fine. I gave it four stars because even though it is awesome, the wheels and other parts appear to be made from cheap plastic and the price is too much for them to skimp on that.

I'm a long time Oreck XL user. I saw the deal for a refurb on passwird.com, so I grabbed one. I can't believe the volume of dirt this thing pulled out of my carpets after they had been cleaned with the Oreck. It is heavier than the Oreck, but the complaints that it's "too heavy" are exaggerated. I also have had no trouble using the attachments. The trick is to completely extend the flexible hose one time. This keeps it from wanting to drag the base unit after you. The overall industrial design is great although I find the placement of the power button a little quirky. Small price to pay. I'd buy it again.

A bit heavy and awkward, but for the price, it does the job.

This vacuum works great, it gets all the cat and dog hair that my other vacuum didn't. I never knew that my carpet actually looked this good. The vacuum is very heavy but the exercise isn't going to kill me. The first time I used the power paw tool the suction was so great it tried to pull the hose back into the vacuum. The only problem I've found so far is that the release lever for the handle is hard to push. This vacuum is very quiet, I'm very pleased with my purchase, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the register and found it was on sale and I saved $15. My cats don't seem to like it very much though, now they have to redecorate every day.

All I have to say is WOW! I bought this vacuum after my old Hoover died back in January picking up Xmas tree needles and I was tired of borrowing my mom's. It would have cost me more to fix the Hoover than this did. I bought it on sale at Wal-Mart for $138.99. Another woman and I were both eyeing the last 2 up and we ended up both buying one.
I assembled it at home easily. The only hard part was initially I could not figure out how to get it to tilt back to use. Once I figured that out it was fine.

I vacuumed my living room, dining room, and kitchen and filled up one bag! I have 2 Jack Russells that shed somewhat, so I am sure it was mostly dog hair. I did buy 1 extra filter and an extra pack of bags while I was at Wal-Mart but it did come with 2 bags and 1 filter to get you started.

HIGHLY recommend! This is a great vacuum for the price. I would love to get the $600 Dyson, but unfortunately, am on a budget and can't afford. This is a wonderful alternative, and I spent less than half the cost of the Dyson!

I bought this vac due to being cordless which is handy being in a wheelchair, read the reviews and was excited to give it a try. Well, two months later I am getting another Vacuum cleaner, yes it gets animal hair but not much else. Not much suction, when it does pick up stuff it stays in the bottom of the beater base so when you turn it off to move, all the stuff falls out. So then I go back to the old standard broom and dust pan. This is the second dirt devil I have owned and the last!

I've owned several of these little electric brooms, done the Swiffer, and looked for anything that would do the simple task of picking up dust bunnies,dog hair and sand without dragging out the big vacuum. We live in the NE and all winter the streets are sanded and this grit is tracted in by the dogs. This one is perfect. It has more suction than I expected, the charge stays longer than most rechargebles and is much lighter than I expected. I love it. You can get cheaper versions of this type of product but I think it's well worth the money. I've had a handheld Dirt Devil I use for the stairs for at least 10 years and never had a problem. I think the brand is reliable and well made.

I purchased a reconditioned Dyson 14 because we have 4 dogs. I was amazed at the power and amazed at how much lint and hair the Dyson picked up, even though I thought my carpets were fully vacuumed just a couple of days prior. If just normal upright use without using the attachments and the extension hose is all you want, you won't be sorry.

I'd recommend testing it out, though, if the 17' extension hose is a high priority for you. The hose doesn't seem to loosen up, the upright falls over when I use the hose extension, the attachments don't "snap in" easily and sometimes just fall off. Maybe if you use the hose for a long period of weeks it will loosen up, but I'm tired of the upright falling over on the floor and following me around on its side. I've given up on the extension hose and have begun to attach my old stairway hose to it instead.

Easy to assemlbe, easy to use, and extremely powerful vs. all of the other uprights that were relatively expensive. Attachments work well. Refurbished model seems to be brand new save for one scratch.

Simply put, it's the best vacuum ever! Everything about it is perfect, super strong suction, awesome attachments and the way it extends is "near" perfect.

About the only thing I can think of that I'd like to see different is adding a height adjustment for carpets. In my bedroom I have very thick carpet and in my other bedrooms it's thin. On my master bedroom carpet it tends to leave lines. I usually like lines as it shows you just vacuumed, but this leaves about 4 lines instead of the usual two corner lines.

I was completely amazed when I saw how much dirt, dust and dog hair I got out of my carpet, even AFTER going over it with my old vacuum. I was expecting it to be the best vacuum I have ever used and it is.

I had a very noisy and heavy Dirt Devil that I replaced with this upright. It works great. It's lightweight and works well both on carpet and my hardwood floors.
I like the fact that the head is flexible so it's easy to maneuveur. Great buy!

This vac does it all, on a small level and a larger level it has no problems. It goes around corners and gets the edges. Very versatile and easy to handle. Great Buy!

The vacuum is very powerful, I can't believe how much dirt it picks up each time I use it, I'm amazed at how clean my floors look. The only downside for me is that it is not as lightweight as I expected it to be but overall, I'm still very happy with the product.

I bought this vacuum after reading so many great reviews of it.. sure it is powerful and big, it is very very heavy and the button to release it so it will vacuum sticks often and doesn't depress easily. It is not worth the price in my opinion I wish I had gotten an Oreck XL as I had been considering and --perhaps I got a lemon, but I can't return it to Eureka either for some reason which I still don't get since I bought it less than a year ago.

I have hardwood floors and a few large area rugs.....and cats. I have two rugs whose main colors are black and white. My last vacuum left a layer of cat hair on the rugs that made them look dirty even after vacuuming. The first day I used this vacuum I was instantly hooked. My rugs went back to black and looked clean and new again. I didn't think they'd ever look that nice again.

The vacuum is heavy, but it's worth it. It's suction power is still VERY powerful even after 6 months of daily use. I got this vacuum around Christmas time after doing all my research and reading a ton of reviews and weighing the pros and cons.

I waited 6 months before writing the review just to see if anything came up. Six months into it and I still love it.

There are two issues that you should know about though: the lever that makes it recline is tough to depress. You really have to give it some weight to get it to release. The other thing is that the lever that switches it from carpet to hardwood floors is also very difficult to depress. I actually had to email their customer service to figure that out because I thought it was faulty. Turns out you just have to be rough with it and MAKE it click. After the first few tough clicks it works fine.

Those are the only two drawbacks, and they're not even really drawbacks-more of FYIs.
It has really helped me keep the place clean. I love it. I would buy it again and again if I had to.

You will not be sorry you bought this vacuum, ESPECIALLY if you have pets!

So glad I read Consumer Reports reviews and other Amazon customer reviews before I purchased another vacuum. It came with an extra six bags and one extra belt. One reviewer said she had never seen such a flimsy vacuum belt which is true, but it seems to do the job! A vacuum repairman once told me that vacuum belts should be changed every 3 to 6 months instead of waiting until they break.

I love this vacuum because it has such power, with the necessary attachments, and it is very quiet compared to other vacuums I have owned with much less power.

The Eureka 3870DT is a great buy. The bags are easy to change and the instructions are easy to understand...so save those instructions!

One warning to those with any physical limitations or lots of stairs! This is a very heavy vacuum! Another style of vacuum would perhaps be a better choice.

Go for it if you want a quiet and powerful vacuum that performs well.
