Two issues which Eureka needs to address.

1. The electrical cord is extremely short. Your total reach is approximately 20 feet. You can not get a lot done without always unplugging and replugging in new outlets every 3 minutes.

2. Everyone who owns this and the identical yellow model legitimately complain about the flimsy hose. Once it kinks, it's permanent. And it is exceptionally easy to kink at the input connection to the vacuum. Very weak plastic. When it kinks, it fails to have the same suction power as new.

I like the pet hair brush attachment. It does a good job of sucking up pet hair on my bed and couches. But it wears out in 3-6 months. I've replaced them twice.

The main hardwood floor sucking cup has a flipper for heavy suction vs light suction. I don't know if that is relevant for carpet vs rug? The flipper easily catches under furniture. I have a dresser which it always catches on while sliding under the front opening. You have to stop, detach from the hose, use both hands to level the flipper horizontally to pull it out. It easily flips to the wrong position when I run it under my couches. Frustrating. Flipper is on the left hand side. My rooms are laid out in a way where your instinct and how you drag the vac to start on the left side.

Does the main floor suction scratch wood floors? It scratched my yellow-blonde bamboo flooring! Either the plastic was scratching or it was dragging debris that did not suction into the vac.

Ideally, this is an acceptable vac for houses under 800 sq feet or small apartments.
