Eureka 972B Review

A Top Eureka Canister Vacuum For Cleaning Bare Floors

With a strong 11 amp motor it offers bare floor cleaning capacity, carpet cleaning capacity, and above floor cleaning capacity.

At almost 11 pounds, this Eureka canister vacuum cleaner is heavier than it looks, but it comes fully equipped for cleaning every surface you can think of.

The Eureka 972b is built to last and is durably crafted from ABS material, which is material that is often used in things such as crash helmets.

While the 972b Eureka canister vacuum comes with the brush bar for carpeting, this is primarily a vacuum that works very well on bare floors.

For its small size, the 972B is a fully packed powerhouse of cleaning suction.

Eureka 972B Canister Vacuum Review

Eureka 972B Canister

The 972B from Eureka comes with a simple design, a dedicated effort aimed at convenience, and thoughtful features like:

• Floor brush with user control
• One touch vacuum operation controls
• Powerful suction
• Convenient storage options
• On board tools in handy storage compartment
• Durability

The on board tools of this Eureka canister vacuum cleaner are handy to grab and switch up while the convenient storage of the tools keeps everything compact. The unit comes with three specialized tools; the crevice tool, a dusting brush, and an upholstery tool. Each of these tools is hidden on the unit inside a special compartment.

The Eureka 972B comes with a heavy duty floor brush for cleaning surfaces that have attracted stubborn dirt, ground in dirt, and pet hair that tends to escape the vacuum cleaner. The suction provided by the Eureka canister is consistent and strong.

The 16 foot power cord provides ample length for daily vacuuming and easily slips back into the machine with a highly convenient power cord reel. Every detail on the Eureka 972B serves either a cleaning purpose or a convenience purpose. There are no extraneous parts or designs that are not targeted for these specific improvements.

Vacuum operation controls were designed, just like everything else, for convenience. The Power Touch handle of the vacuum provides one touch operations and easy finger tip control. Smooth transitions for cleaning various floors and carpets can be done with the simple flick of a finger.

The 972B Eureka canister vacuum does come with a carpet ready brush bar head for carpet use, although it really shines when it comes to cleaning bare floors. The powerful suction is maintained regardless of whether the use wishes to vacuum the floor or vacuum the walls. The filtration system comes down to the paper dust bags (model number T 61555) with built in filtration right into the bag.

Advantages

The small size and easy to maneuver style of the Eureka 972B compact canister vacuum is a huge plus, especially for apartment dwellers and offices. The powerful suction provides a solid cleaning machine with enough extension to reach well above the floor for thorough cleaning.

It's priced right for a compact vacuum cleaner that can handle quick pick ups, car cleaning, and all around vacuuming chores. The floor brush (which the user controls) allows for a more thorough cleaning without the typical scattering of debris that often happens with upright vacuums.

Disadvantages

While the 972B Eureka canister vacuum offers a brush bar for carpet cleaning, thin carpeting or carpets in homes without pets or children seem to be the best scenario for the beater bar.

As a compact vacuum cleaner that uses bags, the bag size is relatively small. Thus, changing the bag tends to be a relatively frequent occurrence.

Consumer Reviews

Consumers like: Performance on bare floors Suction power Quiet operation Convenient design features

Consumers don't like: Poor performance on carpeting Small bags with frequent replacement Power cord could be longer and doesn’t always wind all the way back up into the machine

Summary

For a canister vacuum that is priced around $60 to $70, the powerful suction of the Eureka 972b is perfect for homes with bare floors and for cleaning above floor surfaces.

Homes that have thick carpeting, pets, and small children probably would prefer a vacuum designed with a more powerful brush bar. For large homes with pets or children, this makes a perfect floor, car, and quick pick up vacuum.
