I have two  tuxedo cats that love to go up and down my stairway.  I keep their litter box in the upstairs bathroom and I really hated dragging my vacuum sweeper up and down the steps.  So I went to Walmarts and purchased an EurekaAS2001A for $59.96.  I just wanted something that was lightweight but effective in keeping my carpet and stairs cleaned.  I really love this model because it has a turbo nozzle that moves the air and gives my carpet a deeper cleaning.   It is lightweight, and is bagless with a cyclonic dust cup.  It has five different settings for height to allow for proper cleaning.  It also has a 25 foot cord.

This bagless upright vacuum has a 13" width cleaning path which means I can sweep quicker. This lightweight vacuum has a washable filter. I remember all the times I had to run to the store to get a bag to fit my older sweeper and it was usually not the right bag.  Now those days are over.  I also like the clear view brushrool window.  It also has a scuff-resistant furniture guard. It comes with a one year warrantry.It does come with a dusting brush that attaches to the back of the vaccum.It comes with an easy to step on power switch. I love the neon green color of the hose and cord.

I would recommend this vacuum for anyone that wants a great vacuum without spending your vacation money to pay for it! I love the Eureka brand and the performance of this vacuum.
