Word of caution,
I’ve researched cordless stick vacs and finally decided on this one. I just bought it a Target for […] bucks. If you’ve done your due diligence and have looked at reviews of the Eureka Quick Up vacuums, know that this particular model only has one battery. Replacement batteries will run you 20 dollars and up. Earlier Eureka Quick Up models, at roughly the same price, came with two batteries.

Great Cordless Vac for Light Cleaning,
After reading the reviews on various stick vacs, I decided to go with this one as suggested by one reviewer. I am not disappointed. I bought it to pick up dog fur off my hardwood floors in between cleaning my house with the full size vac. It was worth every penny. Unlike some others, this vac has a roller brush that you can turn on/off so its great on both hardwood floors and carpet. And when I clean up the dog fur off my floors it doesn’t blow it around like some other stick vacs I have tried, it actually picks it up! In addition, the quick up serves as a handvac, which is nice for cleaning up the furniture.
The only flaw I’ve found is that the dust cup is a little messy to empty. But to avoid this, after I vacuum I just empty it outside in my garbage can, and bang it against the side of the garbage can a few times to remove the remaining dust in the filter. This is the same for any bagless vac.
Let me note, this vac is for LIGHT CLEANING ONLY! Its not going to clean your whole house. Also it will not pick up larger objects like large chunk dog food, it just wasn’t made for that. But if you want this vac to tidy up without having to drag out the big vac, this is the one.
Update:
After about 9 months of daily use this stick vac is still going strong. The battery life is still great, and haven’t had any problems. However I would suggesting actually washing the filter cup every month or two. I usually just soak it in some liquid dish soap, rinse and let air dry, and the filter is back to brand new.

Fantastic, battery lasted 5 years….Filter cleaning tip…,
We bought this when our first child learned to crawl and we had to clean crumbs, etc off the floor before she ate them. Now we’re again finding it indispensable for number two and three (now ages 1, 3, and 5)
I like it for:
1) Handle installs and removes quickly and easily.
2) vacuum hangs easy on the charger – some other ones we’ve had are tricky to pop into the charger correctly if you want it to be installed vertically.
3) Power roller bar – really sucks up those cheerios quickly, even on hard floors.
4) Easily removable battery – charger has a second battery charging slot so you can swap out.
When I bought this the cashier at Target told me that this was what they used to clean up spills in the store. It’s now almost 3 years old and the battery is starting to show it’s age (It’s easily removable so I’ll be buying a spare soon)
UPDATE: The original battery is still going strong. To eliminate the “Memory” I just ran down the battery between charges rather than keeping it on the charger “topping off” all the time. Works great now, as good as new!
UPDATE2 – after 5-1/2 years the original battery is finally dead. OEM replacement part cost me $19.99 including shipping, good as new!!!!
Update 3 – the second battery only lasted about 2 years. I guess I got lucky on the first. Just ordered a replacement tonight. Yes, this is an update on a product I bought over 7 years ago, no I don’t have any interest in your buying one or not.
Update 4 – on a recent trip to Montrose Airport in Colorado, I noticed that they had a large cart of these – (at least they looked identical except for the color) My assumption? These are used by the staff to clean commercial airliners, at least at one airport.
TIP: When emptying I find it handy to use a full size vacuum cleaner to get the filter extra clean.
