Eureka Capture 8806BVZ Bagless Upright Vacuum Review – Does the Pet Hair Brush Work?

Eureka Capture Bagless 8806BVZ Upright Vacuum

There seems to be a pattern with Eureka’s vacuums, with each of them being sold exclusively at a different manufacturer – and this one is no different. The Eureka Capture 8806BVZ Upright Vacuum looks like it is exclusively sold at Target and Target.com. This probably serves the different retailers with providing different products, to make it difficult to compare upright vacuums – based on price.

Eureka Capture 8806BVZ Upright Vacuum Consensus: Overall the Eureka Capture 8806BVZ is a good attempt for Eureka, but its over quality is poor. Many users have problems relating to issues like vacuum belts, being clogged to easily, overheating, and more. That being said it might offer some users with a decent vacuum for their pet infested homes.

First it is inexpensive (Estimate $140) which may mean you can get value out of it if your main concern is pet hair,  and second it has a lot of nice features for its price range. Overall, don’t expect too much durability – and if you don’t, this may be a buy.

Eureka Capture 8806BVZ Bagless Reviews

Well, does Eureka’s Capture 8806BVZ Upright Vacuum fair well with pet owners? The answer is surprisingly, somewhat so.

Consumer reviews on this vacuum were fairly positive, “I made this purchased based on the great reviews and price. I am amazed at how well this vacuum cleans. It picks up so much dirt that my husband started vacuuming for the first time in our six years together just to see what it will pick up. We have a new house and it picks up the shedding of the new carpet without clogging like our previous one did. - User Review” More user reviews point out that the the vacuum has a lot of performance when it comes to pet hair, “This is the best vacuum I have ever used! I was amazed by how much pet hair and dirt, I am ashamed to say, that this vacuum picked up.”

The negative reviews for this vacuum pointed out some more disconcerting issues, “I’ve had this vacuum cleaner for less than a year. The first time that I used it, it was perfect. I was ecstatic. That was very short-lived. I’ve already had to replace the belt twice. It’s been making a weird noise after that first time. And now it just shut off for no apparent reason.” Having more expensive repair and continuation costs will defiantly outweigh the low price on this vacuum.
