Sucks like it’s supposed to.

Pros: Durable and strong body. Strong vacuum suction. Front cover rotates for vertical surfaces.
Weaknesses: A bit heavy for a hand vac. Rear vents on strong while using. Cord attachment is awkward.
This is the best designed hand vacuum I have ever used. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s pretty dang close.

The thing is sturdy and solidly built. I didn’t feel worried at all banging it around into corners and crevices.

Vacuum suction is very good. The clear collection bin lets you see just how much dirt and junk you’re picking up. I was pretty surprised at how much stuff got collected in it after a very short time. I didn’t think my place was that dirty and I don’t have pets, but I guess this vac was able to pick up stuff that my older one couldn’t. Works for me.

The weight of unit does take some getting used to. Also, when you’re running it, a fairly strong exhaust air comes out of the back which is noticeable. The first few times I ran this on some small carpet areas, it took a while to get used to the weight so I could run it back and forth. It felt like the suction was too strong and that I couldn’t easily run it across the carpet.

The vertical flip part flap on the front is great. No more holding the thing at awkward angle to try to get the vertical carpet on stairs. Basically, what it is is just flipping the round clear piece over the bristles down so that the vacuum comes from the front face instead of the front bottom. You then hold it straight ahead and guide it up and down.

The back handle is nicely designed to wrap the cord around it. The back also has a hollow space to store a piece of the hose attachment. Little things like this are very nice.

The biggest gripe I had was the design of the hose attachment. It seems kinda short but is stretchable so that’s not that bad. What I really don’t like is that the hose end detaches from the unit on the right side so that the hose is hanging off the unit on the left. I’m right handed so I would want to hold the unit in my left and the hose in my right hand. This is a bit awkward especially you have to deal with the stretching hose thing. It’s not a deal-breaker, but just one of those things that prevent this from near perfect.

It would also be nice if there was a setting for just using the hose. When using the hose, air seems to be sucked through the regular part as well.

The dust bin collector thing is nicely designed. I like the see-through aspect a lot. Removal is easy and the filter blocks stuff from coming out until you have it in the trash.

Since I deal with mostly hardwood floors and not that much carpeting, my hand vacuum is actually more important than a regular size standing one. I absolutely need the portability and hoses to get into cracks and crevices and the like. I haven’t used it on my car yet, but I’m sure it’ll be good for that too.

I highly recommend this unit and would look at other Eureka hand vacs in the future when I put this one to rest.

A Must-Have, Especially For Pet Owners!!!

Pros: Easy portability, good suction, hose attatchment easily accessable, easy to empty, washable filter, relatively quiet.
Weaknesses: I have found none so far!
This EZ Kleen 71A Handheld Vacuum is wonderful for quick pick-up of pet hair on furniture, bedspreads, chair cushions, etc. It’s so much easier than using my other vacs for portability and convenience, yet I’ll never have to recharge it or replace the battery like I had to with my other handheld vac. You can do the upright cushions just as easily as the bottom cushions with the adjustable cover on the brush for vertical surfaces with just a twist of the front cover. I’ve used those pet hair sponges which tend to crumble on the upholstery and are a pain to clean and I even have a new rubber pet hair brush that works partially by static electricity, but it’s a pain to clean off, too, and all that brushing is really wearing on the fabric. This vacuum works much better, faster and with less elbow grease on my part.

The best use I found for it is for fast clean up around my cat’s litter box. He loves to bury his business with zeal and occasionally overshoots the sides of the box. Then there’s that little trail of litter that he sometimes leaves behind when he leaves the room. This is where the short telescoping hose attatchment comes in so handy. Since the hose is already attached and the crevice tool is right on board I can easily suck up that litter with no problem. As another reviewer noted, the hose is not that long, but I find it long enough for a quick pick-up like this. I just turn the vacuum around and hold it the other way so the hose is on my right hand side since I am also right handed. The wide, comfortable handle is on top and works easily for either direction.

I was happily surprised to find that the extension wand and other attatchments like the dust brush and upholstery brush from my other vacuum fit right on the EZ Kleen’s hose attatchment. This makes it so much easier to do things like vacuum my drapes and upholstered window valances rather than get out my cumbersome upright and try to maneuver with the attatchments. The 5 1/2 lbs. can get heavy for long jobs, but it’s fine for short ones, even for a 52 year old woman like me!

Vacuuming my stairs is so much easier now, too. Mine are carpeted down the middle with stained hardwood surfaces on either side of the carpeting. I do both the horizontal and vertical carpeted surfaces with the rotating brush, the crevices with the hose and crevice tool and the hardwood sides and banister with my own brush on the hose. Oh, and for as powerful as this vacuum is, it’s relatively quiet so when you are working up close like that, you aren’t deafened by the sound.

With the clear plastic dust cup you can easily tell how much dirt you’re picking up so it reminds you to empty it often. It’s a cinch to pop it off, carry it to the trash can, pull the cover with the attached dust filter out and empty. I usually go out to the garage to empty mine and then I use an old toothbrush to brush off the filter which gets covered with carpet fibers and pet hair. That’s the only unpleasant part of using this vacuum but it’s the one disadvantage of using any bagless vacuum. At least you don’t have to reach in and pull the dirt out like I had to with another bagless upright model that I ended up returning. On the other hand, since this filter is reusable and washable and there are no bags to replace I never have to worry about buying more.

Guess you can tell that I love this vacuum! I highly recommend it.

Perfect for what it’s designed for

Pros: Compact with power and beater bar
Weaknesses: Like all compacts - the filter gets quite dirty quickly
If you need a vacuum to do stairs and don’t want to get out your big upright and wrestle with it or its hose attachments, this is the unit for you. It is small and easy to work with while delivering good suction and has a beater bar that is good enough to actually clean carpeted stairways.

Eureka EZ Clean 71A handheld vac

Pros: Good suction. Rotating brush has good power, does not bog down.
Weaknesses: Can’t really indentify any weaknesses.
The only handhelds I’ve used in the past were cordless and can’t compare to this vacuum. The brush rotates when cleaning medium pile carpet without bogging down. The suction is not as strong as my upright, but is certainly stronger than any cordless and is enough to do a good job.

Great little vacuum

Pros: Nice and powerful
Weaknesses: none so far
(Edited December 26th by patsan) The suction on this is fantastic. Although it looks a little odd, it does a great job.It is powerful enough to use on the steps. It’s not heavy and a wonderfully little hand held vac. It has a nice beaterbar for quick cleanups. I took an attachemnt from an old hand held and use it to get close into the corners. It’s one of the most powerful hand held vacs I have come across so far. Buy it, you won’t be disappointed!
