We needed a new vacuum because our old vacuum wasn't picking up pet hair. This vacuum is good for the most part. It picks up the pet hair with no problem. The only problem I had was with the roller. The roller collected hair, and we would have to take the vacuum apart to get to the roller and unclog the hair off of it.

I bought this vacuum against my better judgement - I'd previously had a dirt devil for about ten years and was worried about getting something cheap, but the price was great and it seemed perfect for our small apartment with one cat. And when it showed up I was immediately won over. It was easy to use and did a fabulous job picking up cat fur from the carpet -much better then our last vac. I also liked the canister feature - easy to use and you save a buck as you don't have to buy bags. I ordered one for my mom (our family dog is a big shedder). She had a little bit of trouble putting it together so my sister had to give her hand. Again, once she started using it she loved it. But then, not long after hers arrived, it broke. And then, shortly after that mine broke down as well. So, when it worked it was great, but it's really not any help to have a vacuum that works well, well, only when it works!

Apartment dweller with two cats. Just bought the purple model ( Pet-Oh).
I have bought three of the Eureka Optima models, all of them the green model. I bought them for gifts, and bought one for myself, in 2006. I have been shopping for a new vacuum cleaner for a few months, and ended up buying a newer model of the same vacuum cleaner.
I give this one four stars because I know that most people will subtract for its size issues.
1. The dust cup has to emptied frequently.
2. The roller bar gets jammed with all the car hair I have to vacuum up (two cats). I have to cut the hair off the roller bar.
At least, this model has been updated with a roller bar indicator light.
3. The cord is still a bit too short.
4. My old one only lasted three years.
Still, this is the best small vacuum that I have found. The price and the suction are good. And I love the small size.
Shopping on Amazon continues to be a positive experience.

I just got this vacuum, pulled it out of the box and assembled it fine with the instructions provided. Tested it out on the living room area, which is not a very large room and most of it is covered in furniture.
I like:
-the adjustable handle height
-the circular shape of the handle is easy to grab and comfortable
-the cord clip on the handle is nice to have
-the fact that I don't need to push a specific button to recline the unit (just hold the bottom down with your foot and pull the handle back)
-the amount of suction power seems to be okay as far as I can tell
-carpet fibers look groomed after vacuuming
-the fact that it's bagless
-the rubber/nylon bristle combo on the small attachment is kinda cool, would probably do a better job of grabbing fur from furniture and such but I didn't try that or the "power paw" thingy.
-it's fairly lightweight and compact, would probably do a great job on my stairs
-being able to turn off the beater bar is a nice feature
-being able to switch the suction from the bottom to the hose with a switch is nice, but it does that because the hose doesn't connect to the bottom like other vacuums do. So technically my old vacuum had that feature too, just not a switch labeled for that specific purpose.
I don't like:
-the dirt cup's design is the dumbest thing ever! It makes me sad because almost everything else about the vacuum is nice. This vacuum is designed to handle pet fur, but most of the fur sticks to the filter in the top of the cup, and then some of the fur sticks to the rest of the inside of the cup (static?), but due to the tunnel shape of the cup, it's hard to stick your hand in to pull the fur out. You have to dump out the cup, fish out the fur with your hand, then because a bunch of fur sticks to the filter, you have to sit there and pick fur out of the filter. This is after vacuuming ONE AREA, and not very thoroughly either because I was just testing out the vacuum to see how well it worked. I can't sit there and pick the filter clean after every room I vacuum. That is just not realistic. And I have one cocker spaniel who only sheds very mildly, it's not like I have a house full of animals. We just moved in and the people before us had one cat, but they own a cleaning company and the area I just vacuumed did not seem very furry to begin with. So it's not that our carpet is too furry. I'm not being unrealistic in my expectations at all.
-I wish the vacuum had a light on the front so I could see the floor better
-the vacuum does blow the dirt around on bare floor, which is fairly annoying, but I just aimed so it would blow toward the carpet where I could vacuum it up more easily. I wouldn't recommend this vacuum for a house with mostly bare floors, but just for a small amount of bare floor it's tolerable.
-the vacuum does not roll very well at all unless it's reclined. Like it only uses the wheels when it's reclined???? I'm not sure what that's about, just have to recline it to move it to another room I guess.
-I don't want to have to go buying new filters all the time... as fast as the filter got clogged full of crud, I wish I could just put a new filter in after every room, but that's not realistic. My old vacuum I could wash the filters and reuse them, which was fantastic. I never had to buy filters for it ever, and they didn't get as clogged so fast either, and that was in the desert of Phoenix, AZ. I'm in the Midwest now (my beloved old vacuum got left behind in the move, which is why I bought this one) and the filter in this Eureka got full very fast. If I wanted to sit there and pick it clean after every room it would probably last a while, but that's just not gonna happen. And I can't take it into the garage and blow it out with an air compressor after every room either. That's just silly.
I'm taking this back to the store tomorrow. It's a shame too because I read all the reviews and I liked almost everything about the vacuum's features, but everything about the dust cup's design is just anti-functional. I hate giving a negative review, and I wish I didn't have to. I like almost everything else about this vacuum, but the stupid dirt cup is a deal breaker. I need to be able to dump out the cup and move on to the next room. I can't do that with this vacuum. If I wanted to mess around with a bunch of carpet dirt and fur, hunched over a trash can, I would've gotten a bag vacuum. If I didn't have any fur in my house to stick to the filter, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but it's a "PET LOVER" vacuum that's supposed to be used on furry carpets. How did the designer of the product not notice how dumb the dirt cup and filter are designed?
Lame!!! =( I really wanted to love this vacuum, really wanted to give it more stars, but I just can't. The flawed design of the dirt cup and filter make the whole thing useless.

Bought the Eureka 439AZ to replace a Hoover electric broom that was at death's door. This vacuum has powerful suction either when using as a floor vacuum or when using the hose. The power paws attachment works great but takes some practice to use right, you can't put too much pressure on it as it's brush is suction-driven. I have to clean the filter after each use since my 2 cats frequently shed (one is a longhair breed) and the filter gets clogged quickly. The vacuum has 2 speeds of which I use the high speed all the time and find the noise level a lot quieter than my old Hoover Flair. Overall a good value for the money if you live in a one or two bedroom apartment with pets in dusty conditions.
