Eureka Quick Up Review
November 24th, 2011Eureka Quick Up vacuums consist of more than one style. For example, a unit for which people have an affinity is the ninety-six model. The characteristics that cause this machine to stand out are its weight, or more aptly put lack of pounds. In addition, the 96 series of devices have a somewhat durable battery. The vac does not weigh in highly on the scale of price and comes with the added benefit of being able to go where few vacuums have gone before to clean.
The brand name Eureka itself has become a household word as the company is primarily known for its stick machines. However, the company also makes a smaller stick machine known as the Eureka Quick Up. In fact, you have two models to choose from in this series called the 169 or 96 units. Though, buyers seem to favor the latter over the former. To be more precise those small stick vacuums in the 96 series are classified according to letters which come after the number 96.
There are 4 distinct versions called the 96DZ, 96JZ, 96F and the 96H. The Eureka Quick Up vacuums that comprise the 96 series contains similar features such as no bag or cords. They also weigh less than 5 pounds and contain a battery that carries a 6 volt charge. These devices also have an option that allows you to turn the brushroll on or off as you please, allowing you to seamlessly move from cleaning floors to rugs without much difficulty.
Extra add-on seekers won’t discover such tools on this unit. However, the machine is none the less a solid device you have the ability to grasp easily via hand. The 96 unit stands proudly beneath the 50 inch threshold, and is quite capable of standing on its own. To cover mishaps, a one year warranty comes in handy. Prior to acquiring any of the 96 units, perform your research so you know what you are getting into entirely. In summary, the DZ machine is not much money, holds up to consistent use well, and is easy on the scale. In addition, it also effectively combats cat shedding and dog hair.
To be fair, there are a few items owners may find troublesome on this Eureka Quick Up model. For example, the filter on the Eureka cordless Quick Up is hard to take out for cleaning purposes. It does not clean big areas in a respectable manner. Also, the cover that protects the canister is difficult to navigate. However, the common pet peeve regarding battery life among other vacuum owners does not seem to hold true with this device.
On the flip side, A Eureka Quick Up 96 machine with the letter F after its digits displays several similar good features. However, there are a number of negative aspects that must not be avoided. For instance, the F unit is not designed to take care of the whole house, as a bigger vacuum would do. Another pitfall is the wrapping of hair around the parts of the vac that can make it very difficult to proceed with your weekly vacuuming. Despite these occurrences, the machine is one I would not hesitate to recommend to those who want a simple lightweight dirt fighter.
