I am looking at cordless vacuums, and am strongly considering the Eureka 440 for its power to weight. My mom needs a strong vacuum that is as light as possible as she had bad knees and back pain. I am also considering the shark powerdetect or vertex pro, but the Eureka is lighter than both with comparable power.
