A Review Of The Eureka 4700a Maxima Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I wanted an inexpensive but reliable vacuum cleaner with decent suction power. Eventually I bought the Eureka Maxima Bagless vacuum cleaner. Buying something low-cost, and hoping that it performs as promised, is typically solely going to end in disappointment. Well, shopping for the Eureka Maxima vacuum did not end in disappointment, although there are some disappointments with it.

Well, seeing the Eureka 4700A for the primary time was a little disappointing. It looked precisely like what it was alleged to be; a reasonably average wanting inexpensive vacuum cleaner. Still, I chose it, not the opposite method round.

It's low-cost but you are doing get some accessories; brush, cleaning wand, combination wand/crevice tool, and also the suction hose that is attached to the unit. The hose is solely concerning vi feet long though you'll stretch it a very little any than that, however since it is all plastic, I would not take it too far.

The Eureka Maxima vacuum cleaner will have some real and points. First off, it's a very lightweight vacuum, weighing in at only 13.five lbs. It's light but it still comes with a 12 amp motor - the same size as the very expensive Electrolux Oxygen 3 upright vacuum cleaner. Some folks extremely hate bagless vacuum cleaners as they say that emptying the dust cup releases a plume of dirt back into the house. I find such thoughts a very little tedious; why not merely empty the mud cup outside? The massive blessings of a bagless vacuum cleaner like the Eureka Maxima is that the duct cup is larger than bags - three quarts compared to 2 quarts, therefore it desires less emptying; you save on the cost of shopping for new baggage (not to mention the effort of finding the right ones for your vacuum); and your serving to to save lots of the atmosphere (no trees want die to form additional disposable vacuum baggage).

As a result of of the size of the motor, I found the suction power of the Eureka Maxima to be additional than adequate for my house; I've got a combination of low-pile fitted carpet and tiled floors. Therefore, I can not say I've tested it on something arduous but for many floor types the Maxima copes easily.

Currently, for a few more gripes.

I don't like how the facility twine winds up on the machine. The cord wraps around about a 1-foot space on the lower part of the handle, stuffed in between the suction hose. This is often a very little awkward. One redeeming feature though is the fast-unleash lever for the power wire; one flip and you don't have to unwind it!

Also, there's the matter of the suction hose: it's routed quite tightly up round the high of the handle and looks to be made of thin plastic (only time will tell if it goes the distance). It does appear to me that the facility cord ought to be at the prime of the handle with the suction hose being housed lower down.

I had no alternative complaints with my Eureka Maxima vacuum cleaner, till that is, I referred to as round my friends' house and saw them use their Electrolux Aptitude vacuum cleaner. The Aptitude was much, abundant quieter than my Eureka Maxima. I've since consoled myself with the thought that their Electrolux vacuum cleaner was conjointly abundant, abundant more expensive, than my inexpensive, reliable, lightweight, Eureka Maxima vacuum cleaner.
