Eureka Mighty Mite 3670G vs Kenmore 400 Series 81414

You may need to remove (cut out) the protective cover on the blower port to gain volume of air.

Somewhat angry as there is absolutely no place in the Amazon Description that states that these most important features do not come on this model! So please pay attention to what you are purchasing as per the features. Because these features were not in the advertisement, I thought I was getting a great buy but turns out not so! The following is what the Ad reads and I see nowhere that it states it doesn't come with these features that are important to me. About this item BAGGED CANISTER VACUUM: Designed to clean all areas and surfaces of your entire home, den, kitchen, car or garage quickly and efficiently HEPA FILTER SYSTEM: Enhanced HEPA filter system traps 99. 97% of debris, trapping dander and dust inside the vacuum reducing allergy-induced pollutants in the room POWERFUL CLEANING: 2-motor system excels in suction strength

Not too hard to push around, there was a little resistance but way better than my old one. It seemed to do an incredibly well job at cleaning the carpet, I could tell a second pass through would have been pointless.

Pros: This has excellent suction, and a lever to release some suction if you don't want as much, but no idea why/when anyone would use that. Works wonderfully on hardwood floors and the stair attachment is also easy to use and works great for not only stairs, but furniture, welcome mats and flannel bedspread to get off the lint balls. The bag is huge and doesn't need to be replaced very often, even with pet hair. Transition from hard wood to carpet is also very easy

Funnily enough, your Eureka managed to outlive the actual Eureka company that got bought out in 2016. Sounds like you've taken good care of that little vacuum!

They clean carpet well and can do hard floors due to their mechanical brush shutoff. As expected by the price, the build quality is not great. I find them regularly with attachment clips that are cracked/broken and will no longer hold the attachments, bag releases that will not stay in place (they still work without the release), cracks in the base where the axles for the back wheels mount. The mechanical belt tensioner design likes to chew through belts over time, so it is the only one you listed that does not have a true lifetime belt design

This vacuum's lightweight construction lets you pick it up and carry it from room to room with minimal effort. It has a very simple design, with the few parts that need regular cleaning or replacing being within easy reach. Its primary floorhead has bristles that can be extended or retracted depending on the floor type that you're on. You can also remove its wand components and floorhead, allowing you to clean hard-to-reach areas with either its combination hard-bristle brush/upholstery tool or its crevice tool

So far I am liking this over my Dyson because you can adjust the suction, it's not as heavy, it probably isn't quite as good on carpet but I have my washer/dryer in my hall and need to vacuum around it to keep the dog hair from getting under the appliances. If you have dogs and want to do carpet along baseboards this is easier than Dyson IMO. Can't comment on durability but also like having bagged over canister.

Unfortunately, this vacuum's power cord is very short, so you'll probably need to swap outlets when vacuuming a larger area. There are also a few noticeable weak points in its construction, most notably its wand, which is made of two hollow plastic tubes that can fall apart if they aren't put together with sufficient force. Still, if you're looking for a versatile bagged vacuum at a highly affordable price, it's a great option, and one of the best vacuums under $100 that we've tested.

I had been wanting to go back to a bagged version for some time and I’m glad I finally did. My only wish is for the hose to be just a little longer. Not a complaint but a wish.

This vacuum performs remarkably well on flat, even surfaces like hardwood, linoleum, or tile floors. While it has a rather basic floorhead that lacks an air-driven turbo brush or even a motorized electrobrush, you can extend or retract the floorhead's bristles just in case you want to clean any small rugs or carpets. Suction performance remains consistent as its dustbin fills up, so you shouldn't need to replace it too frequently.

I have a cat. I have a Kenmore 400 Series. Not as crazy expensive or as powerful as other vacuums, but it does have good suction and a powerhead with height adjustment. I enjoy the heck out of it, even if I know that if I had a bigger budget, i could have gotten better

The hose is made of thinner plastic than I'm used to so you have to keep that in mind as you use the vacuum as it can and will kink. There's a replacement hose that you can eventually get, though, and its reviews indicated it has better quality than the original. I like the idea of being able to readily find replacement parts and the simplicity of the design of this vacuum. Changing the bag is super easy, I like that it doesn't have a cord rewind cuz those never really work very well (or at least for very long), and it's nice and small for storage

Just a slight design flaw for storing it away. The slot on the underside of the cannister is too low. The PowerMate doesn't sit in a flat position when it is attached to the wand so more room is needed to store the PowerMate head separate from the canister.
