When Fred Wardell founded Eureka in 1909, he had a hunch that it would be known for innovative products, so he named his company after an exclamation of great discovery. "Eureka" is Greek for "I found it" and history credits the Greek physicist Archimedes for making the phrase famous when he took a dip in his tub, discovered the theory of water displacement, and shouted "Eureka!" As an environmentally conscious company that prides itself on creating innovative products, Eureka is constantly shouting "I found it!" Whether it was the development of the "wooden lung" in 1949 or the vacuums that proudly display the ENERGY STAR rating today, Eureka is committed to the next great innovation. Eureka works hard every day to do their part in creating a sustainable future, to put their concern for the environment into practice. Increasing the energy efficiency of their products is a top priority.
The upright LightSpeed Bagless 4700D is always a good bet, with its 12 amp motor and lightweight design at less than 14 pounds. The LightSpeed Bagless also has powerful, deep cleaning capabilities and easily gets into spaces where dirt lingers. The flip-bottom dust cup disposes of dust and dirt easily in one hassle-free, quick flip. Make vacuuming even simpler by taking advantage of other great features like the height adjust for easy cleaning from carpets to bare floors. Spend cleaning time wisely with the no-tip design, where the hose is attached low on the cleaner, to allow for easy above the floor cleaning. If you like a powerful vacuum that's lightweight and cleans quickly, then the LightSpeed Bagless is the one for you.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ksenia horrible
I had to clean the filter after the first use, it wasn't cleaning well afterwards.
Now it doesn't even pick up a thread from the floor, it is horrible. I bought it a few months ago, and only used it 4 or 5 times at most, now i have to buy another vacuum, since im obviously not buyin a new filter every week.
WTH?! This is such a waste of money. I am very dissapointed.
P.S. An d i don't even have much carpet - 2 rooms - that's it! You would think it would last longer...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy I like it
This is the first vacuum I have owned that I like. I spent a long time researching for my last one and ended up with a Eureka that was top rated. It was so heavy I HATED it.
Got this one and it seems to clean as well. The collection bin does fill up fast (I have 5 cats) but I'd rather empty that out than have the bag. I found it very easy and neat to empty and snap back in.
I don't know about the belt but the filter does need to be cleaned each time. I find it so easy to clean that it's not a big deal.
I just love it because it is so light and cleans well.

this vacuum cleaner is lightweight and works on carpet and linoleum, but the filter needs to be changed or cleaned very often and the belt is always breaking!!! i would not recomend this to anyone.
