Eureka Optima Lightweight 437AZ

80.9  The Eureka Optima 437AZ is a lightweight bagless vacuum.  At 11.8 lbs it is almost a merging of an upright vacuum with a stick vacuum.  It is less than 100USD and consumer ratings are mostly favorable.

A review of consumer comments from several quality sources on the net reveals the following common Eureka Optima Lightweight 437AZ likes and dislikes:  

PROS
- Lightweight
- Compact vacuum
- Inexpensive
- Strong suction
- Effective on both carpet and hard surfaces

CONS
- Power cord a bit short
- Difficult to get under furniture
- Filter cleaning is messy
- Several comments about the wheels breaking

Like all bagless vacuums the 437AZ uses a dirt canister instead of bags.  It is powered by a 12 amp motor and consumers indicate that the machine has plenty of suction.  It comes with a brushroll for effective carpet cleaning and the brushroll can be turned on and off.  Turning the brushroll off allows the unit to be used on delicate hard surfaces or rugs.

The power cord on the Eureka Optima 437AZ is only 20 feet long and this is cause for concern for some consumers who feel that have to use an extension cord to get the kind of reach out of this vacuum that they are looking for.  As this machine is fairly small and compact it also has a rather narrow cleaning path of 11 inches. 

Several tools are provided including a wand, a crevice tool, a dusting brush and a Power Paw Turbo tool.  The power paw tool is useful for cleaning stairs and upholstery.  The Optima also comes with a rather unique handle (that can be seen in the vacuum image).  This handle has a soft ergonomic grip and has 13 adjustable positions.  A stretch hose is also provided.

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration comes standard with the Eureka Optima 437AZ.  This level of filtration is useful for removing allergens like pollen or dust mites from the air.  It is a feature that is commonly sought after by asthma or allergy sufferers.  The 437AZ carries a 1 year parts and labor warranty.
