A review Of The Eureka 4700A Maxima Bagless Upright Hoover
I wanted an inexpensive but reliable vacuum cleaner with decent suction power. Eventually I bought the Eureka Maxima Bagless hoover. Buying something cheap, and hoping that the item performs as promised, is usually only gonna end in disappointment. Well, buying the Eureka Maxima cleaner did't end in disappointment, although there are some disappointments for it.
Well, seeing the Eureka 4700A for once was a little disappointing. It looked exactly like what it was said to be; a fairly average looking inexpensive vacuum cleaner. Still, I chose it, not the additional way round.
It's cheap but you do acquire some accessories; brush, cleaning wand, combination wand/crevice tool, and the suction hose which is along with the unit. The hose is only about 6 feet long though you'll be able to stretch it a little further than which, but since it is all plastic, We'd not take it too far.
The Eureka Maxima vacuum does have some real plus points. To start, it is a very lightweight vacuum, considering in at only 13. 5 lbs. Itâ's light but it still has an 12 amp motor the same size because the very expensive Electrolux Oxygen 3 upright vacuum cleaner. Some people really hate bagless vacuum cleaners as they quite simply say that emptying the dust cup releases a plume of dirt back into the house. I find such thoughts a little bit tedious; why not simply empty the debris cup outside? The big advantages of a bagless vacuum cleaner like the Eureka Maxima is the duct cup is larger than bags 3 quarts compared to 2 quarts, so it needs less emptying; you save on the cost of buying new bags (not to mention the effort of finding the correct ones for the vacuum); and your helping to save the environment (no trees need die to make more disposable vacuum bags).
Because of the size of the motor, I found the suction power in the Eureka Maxima to be more than satisfactory for my house; I have a mixture of low-pile fitted carpet and tiled floors. And so, I can't say I've tested it on anything arduous but for many floor types the Maxima copes easily.
Now, for some more gripes.
I don't like how the power cord winds up on the machine. The cord wraps around about a 1-foot area on the lower part of the handle, stuffed in between the suction hose. This is a minor awkward. One redeeming feature though is the quick-release lever for the power cord; one flip and you don't have to unwind it!
Also, there's the problem from the suction hose: it's routed quite tightly up around the top of the handle and seems to be made of thin plastic (only time will tell if it goes the distance). It does seem to me that the power cord should be at the top from the handle with the suction hose being housed reduced down.
I had no other complaints with my Eureka Maxima hoover, until that is, I called round my friends house and saw them use their hoover vac . The Aptitude was much, much quieter than my Eureka Maxima. I've since consoled myself with the thought that their Electrolux vacuum cleaner appeared to be also much, much more expensive, than my inexpensive, reliable, light, Eureka Maxima vacuum clean.
