Eureka Enviro Vac

Hey Everyone. Has anyone used one of these? I got one from a friend today and am currently cleaning it. I am just missing the dusting brush and turbo tool.

Yeah... I worked through one the other week. They are horrible, worthless little plastivacs just like most everything Eureka does.

I've seen them, but not used one. When you said Envirovac, I thought you meant this one (which I'd much prefer over that bagless one).... I guess Eureka is recycling names like everyone else...

Interesting

I dont think I have ever seen that one.

I just finished cleaning with it and all in all, its an ok vacuum. Not the best I own. It has a high pitched noise to it. It definitely isn't a vacuum for people with pets. The person that gave it to my friend had a cat. The hair was stuck in the foam filter at the top. Then I noticed while vacuuming, the pet hair gets stuck around the top where the two pieces of the chamber meet. I think it would be ok for someone who had a small apartment with no pets. It did have a fair amount of suction.

I've seen them here in the UK under the Electrolux name (of course), first time I saw them they were in the Argos catalogue a few years ago, and I read through the description of it while using it as bathroom reading material, and apparently the plastic it's made from uses mostly recycled plastic, hence the "Enviro" name, though to be honest, I'd rather hire an EnviroSkip to put that EnviroVac in cos the wattage was just too high to be eco-friendly, and frankly the design leaves a lot to be desired...
