The brush is even worse than trash - is the mfr. listening?

"Worse" than trash?  This new brush is headed for a landfill.  Unfortunately, I already threw away my vintage, walnut-handled survivor which was a bit worn because I thought how nice it would be to have a new one.  The corduroy-like material on the new model does not pick up dust but only pushes it around.  I got lots of use out of my original brush and should have kept it; instead, I paid dearly for a vintage brush on another site.

It makes me wonder if the manufacturer of this product understands or cares about the performance of the new brush.

no matter how i scrub it - it stinks!  its just a plastic garbage pail. don't even understand why it would work better than anything else. but to be honest, they haven't perfected any of them yet. so the choice is between smelly and smellier. good luck.

Used this unit on carpeted stairs straight out of the box. The brush bar motor seemed very weak as you could stop the rotating brush with one finger. It started out strong and then just gave up. I thought maybe some hair got wrapped around the bar causing the problem (Not likely, but it was worth looking into). However, the unit is NOT serviceable! Aside from filter cleaning. Belt is not accessible.

I purchased two of these for my business based on the good reviews and lower priced compared to the Dyson.  Yes the battery life is good and when it's not clogged, it sucks well.  But I dread using this vacuum because half the time I have to fish out the debris from the nozzle and/or canister.  The nozzle will regularly just fill up with garbage.  The canister is much smaller than the dyson and the cone filter has a fabric texture that sticks to the debris.  Like another reviewer wrote, emptying this vacuum is a real drag.

At first my wife thought this this dirt devil worked great. Then it came time to empty the dirt compartment. After emptying it she noticed she could still hear dirt and garbage shaking around inside. Upon closer inspection she found that there was nothing stopping the dirt/debris from going into the motor. Thats right, the garbage is all sucked into the motor compartment and we cant get it out without disassembling it. Its just past the 30 day point so we cant return it via amazon.

We've had this vacuum for about a month and it has been very effective in picking up our 2 dogs' pet hair.  However, within the last week, the on/off button and the button to turn the brush bar on and off have begun to stick.  Also, the brush bar has gotten jammed twice.  We will be returning it shortly.  For a $300 vacuum it should work better!

Good things first: Fantastic suction! So much so, that it is hard to vacuum throw rugs! The cord rewind works great though the cord is too short. I have to unplug it 3 times to vacuum my 1000 SF first floor home. The dust cup is too small! I have to empty it twice just doing the bottom floor of my home. Dirt gets caught around the filter so that one has to take the entire compartment apart to get it out. The hose is waaaaaaay too short! It is extremely aggravating trying to reach anything really! Even though I turn the level to hand tools, the brush keeps spinning, sucking up anything it stands on. The tools.. Oh my! They fall off ALL the time!!! I mean ALL the time! It is so aggravating! The little brush for the stairs stopped working after the first use. Yeah well.. I guess, other than a great suction capability, I don't like the vacuum! -- So, its time to toss the beast and buy a new one, I  guess. The picture shows that the clasp that was always loose on the dust compartment fais now completely. I no longer can empty it without the mess happening you see in the picture. - Also, every time I  turn the knop from floor to tools and the other way around, a huge dust cloud emerges from underneath it.. spreading what one just sucked up once again evenly around.  I will never buy another Eureka vaccum again.

As a long standing user of the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush, I thought I might give this a try and immediately regretted it. This does not get my teeth clean at all. Even my front teeth still feel fuzzy after use. Not sure if bristles are too soft or if its because it only has one moving head. I'm dumping this practically brand new brush into the trash and going back to my beloved Spinbrush.

My foxtail was delivered today.  What a huge disappointment!  I noticed a few loose hairs so I took it to the trash can to shed them off before I used it.  To my dismay the more I brushed off the more that came off.  I used it to dust off a wall and some shelves.  I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to eradicate the room from loose beaver hair.  There goes that money into the trash can.  Don't waste yours.

sorry -I am not in agreement.  I tried this stuff and it really didn't work well.  I am buying a power brush and maybe that will help.

When I use it, the inside brush does this wobbly, lag-like effect.

Basically the effect is to create a thrashing effect inside the tank. To remedy this, I don't use the magnetic side and just reach my hand in the water to scrape. Still works, but defeats the purpose of the product.

This is a TINY brush. It is not a direct replacement for the Kenmore brush on MY vacuum. The opening between the brushes is so small it jams up immediately. You have to keep cleaning it out every few minutes.

My old brush was falling apart, but with some glue and additions it's back in service until I find a decent replacement. This brush is where it belongs...in the garbage.

This is not even a year old and it's going in the garbage. We can't keep the bag in the right place yet it cities to vacuum, so when we open up the lid, we get a pleasant surprise of dirt filled inside the vacuum everywhere, but in the bag. This has got to be the worst vacuum I ever experienced using. Maybe we just got a flawed one, but I not spending another dime on a Miele product including this one.

Not inpressed at all. Thin bristles, wire frame makes more contact with the rim than the bristles do. Hand grip seems odd. Used twice, now its in the landfill.

After vacuuming 2 rooms, the beater brushroll stopped working!  It will still turn, as long as it is not in contact - AT ALL - with the carpet!  I had smelled something like plastic burning, so I changed the belt, but that did not help.  The local Eureka Service Center couldn't fix it, either!  I have sent it back and will try something else.

The brush on this thing seems designed exactly wrong. It brushes the area that you have already vacuumed. If you try to vacuum reverse of what seems like the right technique, the brush folds down towards the position for when it is not in use.

Dislike this product immensely. All form and no function! The brush is SO stiff and inflexible that there's no way it can clean well. It looks nice, but what good does a pretty toilet brush do if it doesn't clean the toilet well?

Do not recommend this product unless you won't be using it and it's just for looks!
