Eureka Maxima 972B Review
This no-frills budget canister vacuum features a telescoping wand, a change-bag indicator light, and an auto-rewind power cord, all packed into a lightweight design that tips the scale at 13 pounds. Some users find the bag a tad small and replacements not widely available.
A Eureka Maxima review from an expert at VacuumCleanersUSA says the 972B lacks a roller brush, making it less than ideal for wall-to-wall carpet. But it performs exceptionally well on hardwood and bare floors, so it's perfect for someone in an apartment or small house. In Eureka Maxima reviews at Shopping.com, users agree that the vacuum performs better on bare floors but still has powerful suction for such a low-price model. One Eureka Maxima review at Shopping.com reports that the lightweight vacuum is easy to maneuver, the attachments and hose make it easy to use, and the filter is easy to access and clean.
At an extremely low price -- the cheapest among the canister vacuums we looked at -- the Eureka Maxima 972B is a great value. It uses a bag and a standard filter. It weighs 13 pounds and comes with two telescopic wands, a crevice nozzle, and a mini dusting brush. The cord winds up with the push of a pedal. The Eureka Maxima 972B carries the typical one-year warranty.
We love the price of this canister vacuum. The Eureka Maxima 972B seems to do the trick in hard-to-reach areas as well as on hardwood and bare floors. Users are pleased all around with this model. Overall, the Eureka Maxima 972B seems like a great choice for someone living in an apartment or small house with mostly bare floors.
