Bought the machine to vacuum new carpet BIG MISTAKE!!! I added a hunk of clothes hanger to the onboard tool kit to clean out the hose. Also the “No Mess Bagless System” isn't messy until you have to dump it, then any crud that has accumulated around...

Worst vaccumn ever owned. Hose stops up continously even with regular vaccumning (no trash pickup just dirt from carpet. Awful machine. DO NOT BUY!!!!!

I wrote a long detailed review about how bad the Eureka Surfacemax 200 Bagless Upright Vacuum is, and then when I hit aubmit this website http://www.product-reviews.net deleted everything I wrote and said I had to input an email website or something....
