Product Description
Includes Eureka 437az Optima Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner Crevice Dusting Brush Power Paw Turbo.
Amazon.com Review
Eliminating the need for two separate vacuums--one for thorough cleaning and one for quick-and-easy touchups--the Eureka Optima has all the power, features, and performance of a conventional upright coupled with the light weight and convenience of a stick. Where the Optima doesn't cut corners is suction: at just under 12 pounds, this machine 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 brushroll, which can be switched all the way off for gentle cleaning of hardwoods and other delicate surfaces. The unit's bagless 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

 Great little machine. Bang for the buck... February 25, 2010
Easy house keeper (OC, California)
Our Eureka Upright 431BX Vacuum was broken after 4 years maximize of use and we bought this guy following reviews on Amazon for replacement. It's technically the same machine but this little guy a bit smaller, a bit lighter and more functional. It's pretty easy maneuver, much less noise compare with our current model. And smart idea this one has an additional rotate brush, which is very helpful to clean stair or corner.
Over all, I'm happy with my new vac performances and cannot ask for more. Especially with Amazon pricing plus free shipping you just can't go wrong! Thanks to the reviews was very helpful anytime I have to buy something. I have not yet disappointed once when shopping here.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! February 22, 2010
KT Galax (Greensboro, NC USA)
I am so very pleased with this vacuum. It is light-weight, and does just about everything! The attachments are great! I love the way the hose attachment has a spinning brush as well!
You can actually see the brush lines in the carpet. You know for sure that it is kicking up the dirt to be collected. I foster dogs, and the vacuum has been fabulous at picking up pet hair!
The floor option is great! No more sweeping! It's nice because you can change it to a suck-only option so it doesn't blow the dirt everywhere as a regular vacuum would.
All in all, the best vacuum I have ever used - and, the price is unbelievable, on Amazon.
Works like a charm! February 21, 2010

I purchased this mainly to vacuum up kitty litter that my cat tosses everywhere. It vacuumed up the large kitty litter particles with a single swipe so I am very pleased. When emptying the vacuum bucket, I was shocked...there was a good 2 inches of dust in there as well! I hadn't realized how dirty these floors were until I vacuumed them! The dust was super fine which demonstrates the relative suction power of the vacuum.
Besides its function, the vacuum cleaner is light as advertised. The dust bucket comes on and off very easily which reduces the likelihood that you'll end up dumping its contents all over the place. The adjustable handle is quite nice too.
Overall, this vacuum does as advertised and I'd recommend it to anyone. I haven't had it for a long time, so I can't discuss the longevity of the vacuum, but I had a similar vacuum from Eureka previous to this one, and it survived well.
My Search is Over! February 21, 2010
W. M. Theriault (Northern CA)
My 2nd Oreck bit the dust so to speak. The only thing that impressed me about it was the light weight. After reading the reviews on the Eureka Optima I made the purchase. Assembly took about 3 minutes. This thing sucks like crazy! I have carpet and hardwood and this machine has settings for both which is great. For bare floors you can turn off the beater bar and it picks up everything without shooting it all over the place. In ONE PASS it even picked up all the cat kibble my messy boy cat spreads around. Slightly heavier than my Oreck but worth it because it has the onboard tools which are easy to use and everything actually stays put on the machine while you dash around vacuuming. The power paw is a fantastic thing for stairs and pet hair, crumbs etc. on furniture. So far I am very pleased and feel like my search is over for now. As other reviews have stated the dirt needs to be emptied each time but I actually see that as a good thing because it will keep the machine in better working order. Besides, because you can see how much dirt you just collected, you actually WANT to get rid of it right away. If price, weight and versatility are key for you than this is the machine to get. With Amazon purchase, free shipping, no tax, quick delivery = no brainer.
Great lightweight vac!!! February 19, 2010
Aaron (CALI, USA)
Ever since my roommate took his green version of this vacuum when we left our apartment I have always been searching for it. I bought a Dirt Devil bagless upright and immediately missed this vac! The Dirt Devil was very heavy and tiring to switch from the floor suction to the tube suction. They don't sell this Eureka model at Costco for $40 bucks anymore so I bought this one instead. I love this vacuum so much I am willing to spend the extra 30 bucks! It's just that great. The one I got was the 437az HEPA filter model with the power pet paw. This thing is so lightweight and easy to maneuver that it's actually fun to vacuum. Here's the jist of why I like it:
PROS:
1) lightweight and easy to store in a small space
2) easy easy easy to switch from floor suction to hose suction
3) very powerful suction that's not too noisy (even my girlfriend thinks its quiet for the power)
4) great on carpet AND hardwood floor
5) looks and feels very well made (not plasticy like my Dirt Devil)
6) good for pet hair
CONS
1) placement of air flow out of the vacuum; it's located right in front of the vacuum pointing downward so it will blow things away before you can suck them up
-EASY FIX; just cut out a piece of light cardboard like a 3in by 7in piece of cereal box. Then tape it to the bottom of the exhaust up to the sides of the upper portion of the exhaust. Problem solved! Now this vacuum is perfect because the air flows forward and upward!
If you are looking for a good lightweight vacuum this is the best!
