Would you recommend getting the "commercial" version of this stick vac or the regular model for heavy daily ONE house usage?

We got the commercial and love it. For some reason it was actually cheaper than the HD.

My Eureka is over 4 years old and still going strong; I have changed the filter one time. I take very good care of my little vac. I clean the filter each time I use it and I make sure the brushes are free of lint, etc. If you take good care of your vac it should last many years, at least 5 years, and possibly more. The only reason I ordered a new vac was to have one on hand just in case Eureka stops making this vac. I really like it.

I am a house cleaner. And this is the only vac I ever use. I have a lot of clients that have pets and pet hair all over the sofas... the piece to remove the pet hair has its own motor... and it works great. My clients love it!. I got the warranty just incase because you never know. But I have bought and quickly got rid of other ones. SHARK was the biggest waste of money EVER!..it wouldn't suck up anything!.. So as a professional house cleaner I recommend this product!

It all depends... For myself, I like in a small apartment and a full charge is more than sufficient to vacuum the entire house. Thus it becomes a full sized replacement for my home. I actually stopped using my full sized Dyson since I got this. Do note that it probably does not have enough suction to handle carpets. Only hard floors.

Hi, I have the 500 and I love it. Just the right attachments and easy removable hand wand to clean corners and such. I had a Dyson Ball and this one is much better. I didn't like the stand and separate hard floor attachment, they are not necessary as it works great just the way it is. Has a carpet button and then just turn that off when doing the hard floor if you want. Does a better job than my Dyson ever did and you can clean the filters. Huge plus !!!

I have not used mine as frequent as you are asking but it appears to be a well built commercial grade vacuum pump. My guess would be that it will last quite well for a pump in this price range.

I've bought two of them from Amazon in the past couple of years between $45 and $60, and you're right, Hoover has them for about $59. I don't know what gives with these high prices! What kind of nut would pay $200-$300 for a stick vac??? I can't help but think it is a mistake...but nobody has corrected it.

Not sure if I can tell you of a better choice, we use ours in our camper ( kids and long hair dog), as well as around the house to complement the central vac, it picks up dog hair and dirt you can't see. Weare very happy with the choice, we havent run out of battery but we aren't doing whole house

it's a good idea to buy the HEPA filter regardless of how you plan to use the vac. the upgraded filters are very easy to wash off so they last a long time.

There's nothing explicitly preventing you from doing so, but I think the more relevant question is whether or not you'd actually *want* to use it to clean an entire carpeted room. The floor attachment is smaller than that of a typical vacuum cleaner, meaning that it would take you as much as 2-4x as much time to vacuum the room. That would, btw, amount to heavier usage than would be typical for one of these, likely resulting in a motor life that is shorter than is typical. As for what is typical - for that, you'll want to do internet research on the average life of a Dirt Devil vacuum.

I have had mine about a month or month and a half & just cleaned the filter for the first time today (after I saw your question&#128522;). The manual recommends cleaning it with warm water once a month. The filter system seems well made. I pounded off the dirt & rinsed it in warm water as suggested. Looks like that should do the trick. This is only the second stick vac I have owned, and I'm impressed with the suction for such a small, light machine. My other stick vac was a Eureka, The Boss. I was never impressed with how it cleaned. We have a dog, who loves to go outside to chase the squirrels, in our rainy northwest weather. He always brings in a lot of dirt on his fluffy fur. This little vac has been great for keeping the dirt cleaned up in our 12x40 kitchen/family room. The small head is also handy for vacuuming the tile bathroom floors. We had hardwood installed last year & I bought an expensive Miele vacuum to use on our hard surfaces. A great machine, but awkward & too heavy for my arthritis. My little Fuller Brush is so easy to handle. My Miele sits ignored most of the time now. Hope this helps. Lynn

No. Well, it depends. I bought some of them, I work with cleaning services and YES it is the best vacuum to use every day for about 8 hours a day. The last hose I bought was separate, I bought one with 15 feet. Other peaces, like the one to vacuum floors as well. But it's way worth it! You can vacuum carpet with the big part and attach the hose in the back to vacuum the floors and vacuum a huge part without moving the big yellow part from where it is! The vacuum is very strong! Very good! For me, a cleaning company owner, is the best vacuum!

It is acceptable. Keep in mind it is a small, light weight "touch-up" vac. It will not replace a regular vacuum cleaner but works great for what I bought it for which is to pick up pet hair, etc between weekend cleaning.

No, actually it's very easy to clean; better then the previous one I had that got dust everywhere. Hope this helpsand enjoy the lightweight corded stick vac if you get one.

I Own the upright and LOVE it. If you clean the filters frequently, it is WONDERFUL. I have had mine for over 5 yrs and if and when it ever goes bad, I will go right back and purchase another one. It is, by far, the best vacuum out there today and don't let anyone tell you differently. If you are lazy and don't want a vacuum that is a little heavier than most, then don't buy this one, HOWEVER, if you want the best on the market today for a reasonable price, then BUY THIS ONE.Thanks and have a great, CLEAN day:)

I find the suction to be wonderful! I have a dog, and 4 cats and it picks up everything they shed. Don't believe the recent competitor commercial that shows this white substance not being picked up by the machine! I have used it to pick up saw dust from indoor wood projects, glitter, and a host of dust like jobs!! It works very well. But you need to know your home's needs - if you have thick pile carpeting then a stick-vac (any stick-vac) may not suit your needs. :)
