Eureka 8803 Capture

by Paul
(St. Joseph, MO)

My Eureka 8803 Capture worked very well for about a year and did an excellent job of filtering the exaust air. But then it became very noisy and the plastic housing that holds the rotating brush in place broke and now it is useless.

Roller Failure
by: SC

Machine works great until the bearings on end of
roller go bad. I've looked online to find a roller but haven't found it yet. All I find are belts, filters , bags etc. Last options is to call and order roller. Now I'm wondering how long it will last if I put new roller on it.

Roller brush failure
by: RD

Bought the Eureka Capture and was very happy with it for about 5 months. But now the bearing at the end of the roller brush is coming off. It is causing the roller to rotate unevenly inside of the plastic housing causing a ton of noise and unwanted vibration which is probably going to cause the plastic housing to fail very shortly. This vacuum worked well for a while, however it is absolutely a pile of crap! Poor materials used!

Eureka The Boss 8803
by: Christine

My vacuum has become VERY noisy, as well. Plus, I had a hard time finding filter replacements and the cheap plastic pieces keep breaking in various parts of the machine. A piece of garbage!

Time for a class action suit?

Our housing broke as well and is noisy as hell-had to super glue the housing and still no suction-clean filters etc. POS.

Terrible!!!
by: Disappointed

This is the WORST vacuum I've ever owned!!! The cheap plastic parts started breaking almost immediately, rendering it useless. Warranty was no good either. I will never give Eureka my business gain.

Eureka 8803
by: JDD

Stay away from the Eureka 8803. Plastic housing for brush broke and they won't recognize it as a mfging defect. 2 weeks to ship a roller brush. This product and company are a travesty. Stay away!!!!!!

Bad brush housing
by: Anonymous

I have the same problem, the plastic housing for the brush has broken and I have had this thing for less than a year. Not worth your money, that's for sure.

Bad motor on my Eureka Capture
by: Rick

I purchased an Eureka Capture about six months ago. It cleaned very good but was a little hard to use and had to be emptied often. Now the motor is going bad! Do not purchase this unit. My last vacuum was an Eureka that was very good and lasted more then 30 years.
