Eliminating the need for two separate vacuums–one for thorough cleaning and one for quick-and-easy touch ups–the Eureka Optima has all the power, features, and performance of a conventional upright coupled with the lightweight upright vacuum and convenience of a stick. Where the Optima doesn’t cut corners is suction: at just under 12 pounds, this upright vacuum can out-draw units twice its weight, and its HEPA filter captures more than 99.9% of dust mites, pollen, and other allergens for cleaner indoor air. Its 12-amp dual- motor system devotes one motor to suction and another to turning the rotating brush roll, which can be switched all the way off for gentle cleaning of hardwoods and other delicate surfaces. The unit’s bagless upright construction eliminates the hassle and expense of disposable vacuum cleaner bags, and its comfort-grip looped handle has 13 different adjustable positions customizable to all users in the family, from the shortest to the tallest.

Surprisingly versatile for such an inexpensive machine, the Optima also comes with a decent selection of onboard tools, including a dusting brush and crevice wand as well as Eureka’s unique Power Paw. This handheld attachment features a powerful brushroll to remove ground-in dirt and pet hair; its “Riser Visor” shield flips up and down to convert from vertical to horizontal cleaning on surfaces from stairs to upholstery. Suction control allows users to direct power from the floor nozzle to the hose, resulting in a stronger, dedicated airflow in both modes. The Optima isn’t perfect: it’s a tad loud and the filter does need cleaning, but it represents a unique blend of power, ergonomics, and ease of use at a reasonable price point. And while the unit is rather narrow, its excellent maneuverability and small footprint when stored more than make up for the reduced cleaning path. The Optima comes fully assembled; it measures 13 inches wide by 15 inches long and stands 44-1/2 inches tall and is backed by a one-year parts-and-labor warranty. –Mary Park

Pros: Saction power, light weight, good performance on different surfaces (hardwood, tile, carpet, carpetted stair), great value!
Cons: Dirty and cumbersome to clean the filter, noisy

I have 3 upright vacuum cleaners–large and heavy upright vacuum for carpet, cordless stick vac for picker-upper, and Eureka Optima for all-round cleaning. This has the best saction and versatility among all, and for the first time, I feel I can stop my pursuit of a good vac cleaner.

After trying so many cleaners, I now have realistic expectation. Even a good vac has some shortcomings, and you need to know what your priority is. In this case, cleaning the waste bin and filter is very messy and cumbersome. Because Eureka Optima has very good suction, the filter catches so much fine dust very quickly. I need to dust if off almost every time I vacuum, and it is not fun. However, for me, can-vacuum-anywhere versatility and Lightweight Upright Vacuum make up for it.

I recommend Eureka Optima even if this dies on me within one year (which it does not yet). This is not a perfect cleaner, and there is not a perfect upright vacuum cleaner, but a great value for solid performance.
