Reddit reviews EUREKA Mighty Mite Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Pet, 3684f-violet

Self Propelled vacuums aren't even that great anyways. Really awkward and jerky.

If you are comfortable owning two vacuums, I might suggest the Eureka 1934 Upright and the Eureka Mighty Mite Pet Edition Canister. The 1934 is one of the most simple and reliable vacuums on the market, but it works very well on carpets and is pretty lightweight. It's the same design used in Eureka's heavy duty Sanitaire line of vacuums, and has been in production for at least 30-40 years with a few small changes here and there. The Mighty Mite would pretty much be useful for anything else, especially the stairs.

Personally, I don't think an upright can clean hard floors nearly as well as a canister. This is due to the higher concentration of suction at the floor nozzle of a canister compared to that of an upright, which has a large brushroll that the air has to move around.

That being set, if you are dead set on an upright, either of those Hoovers should be fine. In fact, I'm 90% sure that those two are the same model, just with different exteriors. The Windtunnel MAX might be a bit newer, but don't quote me on that.

I also see the Mighty Mike Pet Lover, worth the extra 25 bucks?

I'm on a strict budget. How about this one?
