Eureka Capture Plus 8853AVZ Upright Vacuum Review: Bagless Pet Lover

November 9, 2009

Eureka 8853AVZ Bagless Upright Vacuum
One of the most recent anouncements is Eurekas’ Capture Plus 8853AVZ Upright Vacuum. Being a bagless upright, this pet lover’s vacuum promises low operating costs with superior pet hair picking up. Selling for roughly $160-200 online, this vacuum provides pet owners a mid-priced bagless upright vacuum.
One of the first things we noticed about this upright is its weight. It weighs kind of a lot, which can be a hindrance to a lot of would be vacuum purchasers. This vacuum owner has to be quite comfortable with its weight before considering this vacuum (Weight: 24 Pounds).
Eurekas’ Capture Plus 8853AVZ Upright Review Summary: Though the 8853AVZ has a lot of neat cleaning tools and attachments, the vacuum falls short. Its durability of its plastic tools is dubious, its constant clogging is annoying and its overal operating is short. Combine this all with a mid-price range for an upright – there are just too many better choices.
