Title: nice while it lasted
Product review: We bought a Eureka Whirlwind Litespeed vacuum just over two years ago upon purchase of our new (to us) home. For the first year and a half, we loved the vacuum. It performed wonderfully under very modest use.Alas, no longer. It breaks belts on a regular (approx. every 2 weeks) basis. Despite changing height settings, cleaning debris from the rollers, inspecting and scrubbing all moving parts and even trying belt dressing, I now spend more time changing belts than vacuuming. This is highly frustrating, as you might imagine.In my letter to Eureka, I ask the following questions: Should I bring the machine with me on my trip to the landfill this week, or try some yet-unthought-of trick to keep the vacuum cleaner working? Presuming the former is my best option, do you have a suggestion on a similar replacement vacuum from another manufacturer that might last as long as, say, the Hoover upright I owned previously that lasted 20 years while breaking only a half-dozen belts?
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
