Lightweight and inexpensive yet solidly constructed, the Eureka 4711AZ Maxima offers an excellent value in a full-size upright vacuum. The cheerful yellow unit is easy to push and maneuver, offers powerful, 12-amp suction, and even uses micro-filtration to capture dust mites, pollen, and pet dander for cleaner, healthier indoor air, whether you have allergies or not. Like other bagless models, the Maxima eliminates the expense and hassle of disposable vacuum cleaner bags, using instead an easily accessible, easily-emptied dirt cup that's transparent so you can see when it's full. On the downside, the filter needs to be cleaned often, especially if you have pets, but this is also common with other bagless models. In the case of the Eureka Maxima, there's only one filter to clean and it's easily washable, simplifying the process considerably.

The Maxima also comes fully loaded with onboard tools: a crevice tool for corners and baseboards, dusting brush for upholstery and blinds, an extra-long, nested extension wand for added reach, and Eureka's unique Power Paw. This handheld attachment features a powerful brushroll to remove ground-in dirt and pet hair; its "Riser Visor" shield flips up and down to convert from vertical to horizontal cleaning on surfaces from stairs to upholstery. The addition of this feature makes the Maxima4711AZ the unit to buy if you have a lot of carpeted steps to clean. All of these tools attach to an integrated large-diameter hose designed to resist clogging and help keep the unit from tipping when it's pulled. (The hose detaches rather easily, but this comes in handy in case it does need to be cleared.) A grip on top near the base aids in cleaning stairs or upholstery, while the handle lowers almost flat to vacuum under low furniture. Other features include a powerfully bright headlight and a five-position manual height adjustment for cleaning surfaces ranging from hard floors to deep pile. Weighing in at just 14-1/4 pounds, the Eureka 4700A maxima measures 15inches wide by 12 inches long by 42-1/2 inches tall; it is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Mary Park For powerful lightweight cleaning, choose this Maxima 12-amp, bagless vacuum cleaner.
