Eureka Optima Lightweight

I bought the Eureka Optima Lightweight vacuum cleaner without doing my homework and boy, have I learned my lesson.

I must admit that the first two or three times I used it I loved it. It's small and easy to handle and there's no question that it has great suction.

Until, that is, it doesn't. That's when you have to clean the filter. What a mess! There's just no easy way to do it. Cleaning the accordion folds in the filter is a nightmare!

I always take it outside to clean because I don't want all of that dust and mess floating around in my house. I have to use something pointy (I use a chop stick) to get down in filter and get out all of the dust and debris. It's time consuming and not worth it.

Needless to say, I'm DONE with the Eureka Optima Lightweight vacuum and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
