Do NOT buy this product.  It is a huge pain to get into the fireplace area, terrible mess and it doesn't work.

This has been the most unhappy vacuum-owning experience of my life.  After two terrible years with this product, I am literally throwing it away and starting over.  There is a design or production flaw with this vacuum.  Mine does not seem to be the only lemon out there, according to the other reviews, so I'm calling it a design flaw.

For the majority of times that I've used this vacuum, almost nothing ends up in the cup.  It's still picking up stuff from the carpet, but it never reaches the cup, getting stuck in the hose.  You end up with this long, compacted caterpillar of dust and hair and debris that you have to physically remove from the hose yourself, with your hands and a long crotchet hook.  It's disgusting, not to mention the hazard of having a motor have to work hard enough to pull air through that caterpillar; the unit becomes very hot.  I actually watched the gunk being pulled into the cup and then flying right back up into the hose, where it begins to form an obstruction.  I would like to mail this vacuum back to its designers in pieces.

In addition to this horrendous problem, you have two additional filters that constantly need to be cleaned (like every other time you use it,) one of which flies off the machine on a regular basis (like twice a session, and yesterday, right after I had cleaned it.)  You don't want to clean those small filters before you have had your shower, because you're about to have a dust, and, no doubt, dust mite, coating added to your exterior.  I am not overstating my difficulties with this machine; I would feel guilty selling it in a garage sale for ten bucks.  Perhaps they have addressed these flaws in their new models??  I wouldn't chance it.

My wife wrote the above part. Let me just sum it all up: this unit sucks . . . er, no it doesn't, and that's the problem.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Eureka-2997AZ-Uno-Bagless-Upright-Vacuum/dp/B000LPAY3C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Eureka 2997AZ Uno Bagless Upright Vacuum</a>

Under no circumstances should you buy this product.  It comes coated with some sort of heavy industrial lubricant that has a pungent, horrible chemical smell, leaves a black residue behind, and is extremely difficult to remove.  Normal cleaners do not work.  I had some luck with WD-40, but gave up after I realized it would take forever to get the stuff off.  Some of the gunk got on a bit of wall to wall carpet in the room I opened it in and now that room appears to have a permanent faint smell of the stuff.

Do not buy this product.

This is absolutely useless. It showed up looking dirty, which I could forgive if it worked at all. The thing comes apart REALLY easily, and the suction cup is practically flat and won't stick on anything. Disappointing, but you get what you pay for.

When I got these, it was dirty, like it had been in a mud puddle, and then some one had tried to wash them off. I won't buy from these or from this seller again. I will get the ones at Petsmart, that are made by Toys R us for pets.

Unusable - I had to throw mine out. The material is stiff, horribly scratchy, and doesn't allow shower gel to lather very well. Would be better suited for cleaning car tires or farm animals.

I really wanted to this to work.  I just spent five hours working with it and each time the dvd GOT WORSE not better.  I tried two DVD's and both were partially readable with some scrapes and not a few not real deep scratches.  At first it looked good, the scrapes were soon removed, but the pads left indentations, the cleaning pads and solution, fresh out of the plastic package, introduced new scratches.  You could spend a lifetime trying to get this monstrosity to work.  I tried going through the cycles 3 times on each disk starting with the red paste.  I followed the instructions and after each complete cycle tried reading the DVD in my computer and got more errors each time.  I then tried using a fresh set of pads after each step, cleaning the machine and washing the disk between each step to no avail.
Unfortunately I didn't get around to using it until long after the return period expired so it just went into the garbage along with the $55 extra supply set I stupidly ordered to go with it.  So well over $150 down the drain...this company should shut its doors in shame.

After writing the above I decided to give it one more try before posting it.  Two hours later and I still have two disks that were once mostly readable and are now not even recognized by any DVD drive.  While the original scratches and scrapes are gone new ones have been introduced.  You can see a score pattern in several places caused by the pads.  I would have been much better off buying replacement disks than this junk.  I did try the advice of one review and opened the lid each time just before it finishes the spin but the score patterns remain, with or without the spacers.  Again I used a completely new set of pads between each cycle and washed the disks well with warm water and soap after each cycle to make sure no particles from the previous cycle could be causing the new scratches.  Don't waste your money like I did, and if you do decide to try it anyway be sure and test it well before the 30 day return period is up so you don't get stuck with a lemon (it has a short warenty period too which tells me the importer doesn't have much confindence in it either).

Don't listen to the other reviews on here. These don't work. I was just out on the trail. I put a patch on my forearm and within 2 minutes a mosquito landed about 2 inches from the patch and bit me. I loathe products that don't work. I'd like to think there's a special place in hell for the purveyors of crap like this. Just got my return label to send this garbage back. You know what does work? DEET!

I just spent an hour of my life scrubbing 50 dirty Chinese balls!!

 They were filthy and unusable, in my opinion.  I bought them to make beautiful little wire fairies and at this rate, my fairies would look like they've been living on the street.  I can't believe this is acceptable.  They are drying right now and I'm still not sure they will be acceptable when dry.  Disgusted.  Don't buy these unless you enjoy scrubbing balls.

I wish I could zero or negative rating. Doesn't work at all.

Firstly, the straps barely fit around my arm rest - that's fine - that's my issue. Secondly, the Velcro is stitched on the wrong side, so you can't actually use it - the Velcro doesn't attach to itself. Thirdly, and most importantly, the underside of this is filthy with what looks like rust stains, which ... its plastic, so ... I am made of questions. Also, the spot where your wrist rests is cracked and gross. Basically, this looks used and is going back immediately. Spend your money on something else.
