Is the suction with the attachment hose as good as the main unit? I have two carpeted stairways to vacuum and I need something that will work!

The suction hose works great. After having this vacuum a few months, I'm not as thrilled by it. I think it should be picking up better. Sometimes the dirt basket is full and other times it doesn't pick up much at all. Probably the operator.

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

Comes with 3 attachments - use the one for nooks and crannies around the edges, then the one depicted in the photo for most of the carpeted stair - I own 2 of these guys - best I've found - works fine for me - have never used the 3rd attachment - just haven't thought about its use.

I don't have the powered house as I don't have a lot of carpet. I just use the regular floor attachment. It works well enough for me on carpet because the suction is so strong. I love my vacuum cleaner, though in tight spaces it's a little difficult to maneuver.

The hose itself works fine and is very easy to use. The hose is permanently attached to the machine. You can change out the cleaning attachments. The brushes clog up easily and are very hard to clean. The item you are cleaning needs to be well vacuumed first or you will have a hard time cleaning the attachments. The suction is very poor. I read where some people use fans to completely dry their carpets. I bought a wet vac because I am allergic to mold and cannot risk any fluid being left in the carpet. The wet vac probably soaked up about 25% of the fluid in the carpet. It will leave it wet. The hose itself works fine and is very easy to use. The hose is permanently attached to the machine.

It works on stairs with as much suction as a full upright vac.This Hoover Platinum hand held vac is very powerful !Also great attachments. Battery works at 100% power until it isall the way used up. Love the separate charger...just slip the battery outand put it in charger that can be plugged anywhere. No charging the entireunit! You will love it for EVERYTHING !!

The Vacuum part works great... I just do not like the suction from the pet attachment

The suction was pretty good the first time I used it. Since then not so much. I have no carpet in my house. If you are planning to use this on carpet don't, it's not made for that. The only thing I really like about it is the upholstery tool. I do use that to vacuum my couch and it gets the dog hair out great.

I use this vacuum exclusively in my cleaning service and we do a lot of stairs. The great thing is that Eureka puts a grip just above the light so that you can easily hold on to the head while you vacuum down the stairs. You don't need to use the hose if you do it this way. I will admit that if you have a bad back, you wouldn't want to use this method.

Do you like your carpets and floors really clean? I have not been happy with the suction on the Eureka RapidClean at all. Even when using the handheld alone, the stuff sucked up would fall back out.

Sorry, I don't know - I usually use it for cleaning the carpet on my stairs, or I use the attachment for cleaning in small places

I personally would never buy another one. I returned same day I got it. Used it on very low pile carpet and was very hard to push across the carpet. As far as suction I am not sure because I wasn't going to have a vacuum I had to fight.

If your stairs are wide enough it's good. Mine are narrow, so it's a pain to hold while hose is in other hand so that it doesn't fall off the stairs.

Wish I could answer about stairs, but Ive used it for a few months now in a 800 sq ft apt mostly carpeted and I've loved it. As a guy who doesn't vacuum regularly, this thing is awesome because its easy to use and it picks up a ton. I have no problem emptying out a container, it's so much easier then remembering to buy bags or filters.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.

I use the wand with the versatool for stairs with no carpet and it works very well. The versa tool is good for bare floors and when closed it has good suction also for crevices. I hope this helped you.
