The Right Choice For Many Households

For a bagless vacuum, the Eureka Altima definitely can stand on its own. Ranging somewhere in the middle as far as price when it comes to bag-free vacuums, the Altima from Eureka tends to give you good value, reliability, and the backing of an established company. Many people decide for convenience or other reasons that they would like a vacuum that doesn't need bags. When they go shopping for one, they find that there are quite a few choices. The higher-end bagless vacuums can be very expensive, although on the other end of the spectrum you may have bagless vacuums that look nice but don't work well. The Eureka Altima falls somewhere in the middle when it comes to price, but the quality is surprisingly good.

The Eureka Altima includes a HEPA filter that is a real advantage when it comes to allergy sufferers. With the strong motor that comes with this machine, the HEPA filter works well to remove allergens from the carpet and anywhere else the machine is used. The many settings on the Eureka Altima ensure that you can vacuum effectively on many different lengths of carpet, as well as furniture, floors, and even drapes. This is even better news when it comes to removing allergens, or removing dirt and dust in general.

Like any good all-purpose vacuums, the Eureka Altima has a lot of attachments that make it easier to vacuum just about anywhere. There is the telescopic duster attachment that helps you get into tricky places, and the attachment is even self-cleaning. The "power paw" attachment on the Altima makes it easy to vacuum in angled places such as staircases and furniture. Though the vacuum can be a bit heavy and cumbersome for stairs, a relatively strong person can probably maneuver it well enough to do them. The crevice tool makes it easier to clean in tight places. This can help a lot when you don't want to move things around so you can clean under them.

The manufacturers of the Eureka Altima kept furniture safety in mind when building the vacuum and put guards on the front and sides of the vacuum. This protects the furniture from being scuffed when the vacuum bumps into it. You can actually clean this vacuum's filters too and reuse them, which saves you money and is better for the environment. All in all the Altima has a lot of good features that should please even the most discriminate housekeeper.
