Flash Corded Stick Bagless 2-in-1 Vacuum Cleaner with Storage Base

After trying out the Eureka Flash corded stick bagless 2 in 1 vacuum cleaner with storage base. I have decided that I prefer a regular upright style vacuum cleaner. This type of vacuum cleaner would work well for smaller type jobs but for overall everyday all flooring cleaning I can't say that I would use it for that. I would use the attachments for things like cleaning window blinds and ceiling fan blades. My reason for not liking it for everyday use is that it is top heavy so while I'm using it I'm also supporting it's weight as I use it. I do like it as a handheld vacuum for things like cleaning out my truck or car.

This is a pretty good stick vac with some very nice features. It can be used as a conventional upright, as a wand for walls and curtains or you can connect the works directly to the sweeper and other attachments to work as a stubby machine which makes cleaning stairs and couches very simple. The sweeper head (beater brush attachment) is designed with a double swivel making it ultra easy to get into tight places. This makes cleaning under beds a snap, probably the best design I've seen for this use. Placing the crevice tool onto the head is great for removing pesky cob webs and the brush attachment is perfect for dust control. I used it as a common upright in our laundry room which is where we keep the cat boxes. If you have cats, you know they aren't concerned with neat and litter in the context. But this machine picked up all the loose litter as well as the sand from the door mat. We live in a sandy area (on a lake) and it's impossible to avoid bringing some in with you. It has a 3 year warranty which is better than most machines. The dirt cup, while small, is very easy to empty and the motor has 2 washable (reusable) air filters that are easy to access for rinsing. With all it's great features, there are a few things I think could be improved. The machine (when fully assembled) doesn't stand well on it's own. So it comes with a tray that holds the attachments and acts like a parking space for the unit. I'd have preferred a hanging feature. The cord seems extra long compared to other models and winds nicely to the unit. But I'd have liked a rechargeable unit without a cord. Suction is good considering the light weight and convenience of use but leaves a little to be desired for picking up the kitty litter and sand. Looks like a job that will be left for our conventional upright.

This is an affordable and light vacuum cleaner. I find it very easy to pick up and carry unlike my 30 year old Miele. All vacuums are the same the question is where were the trade offs made. Here is my comparison: Pros: Quiet, light, affordable, easy to store, easy to empty contents, and can clean carpets! Cons: Flimsy, no HEPA, less suction power, not going to last 30 years. For someone closely watching their finances, I like how this vac can be had without financing.

This stick vacuum is a great help around the house with any non floor cleaning. The suction unit is attached to the handle of the wand not the removable floor attachment. It was very useful to clean pet hair on furniture, easier to reach the blinds, and for the first time in ages clean the ceiling fan blades. It is so much easier to use on higher spots than the bigger floor vac I have. The handle and overall ergonomics are well thought out - comfortable as possible and easy use attachments.

I requested this vacuum mainly because it is supposed to be light weight and as I get older it is more difficult for me to vacuum. Well this vacuum fit the bill. It is light weight, powerful and very easy to maneuver. I have an island in the kitchen and bam it went right under and got all the crumbs and dust bunnies. The attachments fit right on the machine, so they are very handy. The power is awesome, it goes from the tile floor to the carpet without missing a beat. You can empty the canister and go on without wasting time. The suction on carpet is really good too. Picks up leaves, pet hair and plain old dirt without loosing suction Really great product!

This is a nice compact lightweight and bag less stick vacuum. It's very easy to use and stores away easily and compactly. A very nice LED work light on the power head. It also has a crevice tool and an upholstery tool. Works great on hardwood floors, and low nap carpeting and rugs. I also like the no-bag, easy clean container.

The Eureka "Flash" stick vacuum has made cleaning a whole lot easier. The power switch has 2 settings for carpet or hard surfaces providing very good suction. The vacuum can go low profile for getting under furniture with a swivel head for hard to reach places with LED lights so you can see. It is easily assembled and can be converted to handheld unit for cleaning upholstery and blinds. Easy release cup for emptying. Washable filter, long power cord, vacuum stand with accessory holders.

This is a very versatile vacuum that is lightweight and very easy to use. The location of the dust cup on top instead of at the bottom as in most vacuums makes the cleaning head go further under furniture for deep cleaning. The motorized cleaning head also has LED lights that light up dark spaces for easy visibility . The vacuum can be used with the wand as a conventional vacuum. The wand can be detached and the hand vacuum can be attached directly to the motorized floor nozzle to clean stairs and uneven surfaces. The hand vacuum can also be used with the crevice tool to clean sharp corners and hard to reach surfaces. The hand vacuum can also be used with the upholstery tool to clean blinds, drapes, and sofas. There is a stand to store the detachable tools, the motorized floor nozzle, and wand. However the hand vacuum has to be detached before storing. The vacuum has two settings. A low setting for hardwood and tile floors and a high setting for carpets. The vacuum has great suction and cleans very well. The dust cup is bagless and the filter is washable and reusable. It is a well made product and I am looking forward to getting years of use out of it.

This is perfect for our use in our travel trailer. We wanted something light but effective. That is, something that will pick up dog hair, work well on rugs, floor tile and is easily storable. The beater bar has two setting – high and low but does not turn off. It is light and easy to handle and attachments fit well and are stored on the stand. We looked at reviews and disagree with many of them. Firstly, “hot air” blows back at you. We never understood this one as we never could figure how this could happen. Secondly, we read that it “gets up a lot of dust and dog hair.” True, we know dog hair as our dog sheds plenty daily. Some complained about the cord being stored. Agree, see photos but not a big deal in our opinion. We tried it both ways (photo) to see what works best for us. Thirdly, that the “additional components are made of cheap plastic.” Totally disagree - we think the quality is very good and sturdy. We have and have had more expensive vacuums for our home and this is pretty good quality. Another comment is that it’s “Very noisy and it sort of whistles.” We don’t think it’s noisy and is easy to empty. We did agree with one comment that the stand is not study – but not bad. We will probably store it in separate pieces anyway.

The Eureka Flash Corded Stick Bagless Vacuum is a very versatile machine that works well. First it has a very long cord, about 30'. With the various attachments you can put the vacuum together to best suit your vacuuming needs. There is a crevice tool and a 2 in 1 upholstery tool. When it is put together, it vacuums like a standard vacuum. If you need to use one of the attachments, you can either disengage the wand from the motorized floor nozzle and attach the tool to the wand, or detach the wand from the hand vacuum and then attach the tool directly to the vacuum. For example the owner's guide recommends removing the wand and attaching the floor nozzle directly to the hand vacuum to make it easier to vacuum stairs. Although it says it's lightweight, I found it very top heavy and was worried about that. I discovered when I turned it on, that the floor nozzle is motorized and that made vacuuming a breeze. There are two floor speeds, one for bare floors and one for carpet right on top, making for easy selection and switching. It is good for being able to vacuum under furniture since the wand and top are both narrow. The beater bar runs in both speeds. I don't know how I feel about this since, my old vacuum ruined a patch of flooring with it's beater bar. It was very easy to put together and it easily comes apart to rest in the storage base. The storage base is a clever idea because if you didn't take it apart, it would be tricky to store in a closet. I think it would fall over. When finished vacuuming, simply empty the cup. Periodically wash the filter. Maintenance is easy.
