We purchased this vacuum cleaner for our 85 year old mother after researching numerous brands. We chose it because of its light weight and because of the Eureka name. She used it 4-5 times at the most and over a very small area. The last time she used it, the vacuum cleaner got very hot and started to smell like burning rubber. The vacuum is supposed to still be under warranty; after locating the nearest service center we dropped it off. They said it would take several weeks before Eureka notified them if they would even approve the repair under the warranty and send the needed parts. Then it will take another 3-4 weeks to repair it. We are totally dissatisfied with this product and  will think twice before purchasing another Eureka. Perhaps they should change the name from Mighty Mite to Mighty "Might", because it might not work as expected.
