Is this vacuum able to suck up water? It doesn't say anywhere that it can't...but it also doesn't say it can.

Hi there - No it can not. It's clearly stated that it is NOT to be used for water in the Instruction Guide. Hope that helps. : )

I bought this vacuum for my husband as a gift and he loves everything about it. He had not ever picked it up, (just rolls it) so could not answer your question until we tried it yesterday. No problem!

No- it specifically says it is NOT to be used as a wet vacuum. In spite of that, we truly, truly LOVE this vacuum. We use it in our welding shop and it cleans up all the tiny metal flakes beautifully!!! And also gets leaves that get blown in- it's terrific!

Does NOT work well on carpet. Does clean hard surfaces both wet and dry very well. I also bought a small canister bag less vac with the hose to vac area rugs, baseboards. closets, bathroom and furniture--hard to reach places with upright. Hope that helps. Peace

Yes it "vacuums", which is how it 'extracts' the water from the floor covering as you clean a spotted area... But "steam" it does not... no heating of the water, simply a reservoir (a bit small, in my opinion...) that is intended to hold a water / carpet cleaner mix, a small bottle of which comes with the shampooer. It is not intended to vacuum your floors, but the vacuum IS essential to the normal operation of the 'spot lifter'.

First question answer is no.Second no you just vacuum the water up with water attachment. This thing works great!!!

No it doesn't connect to a vacuum system. It attaches to a hose, but you need the leaf bag and pole. The water pressure from the hose acts as a vacuum.

No it doesn't. The vacuum doesn't even move. We had to take it apart and swim to the bottom of the pool and manually do it with the hose. The vacuum does not work.

There are several reports about the Hepa filter on this vacuum does not work & mostly leaks. See the reviews herein on Amazon. If these are true, what a scam Eureka is imposing on it's customers.. I wonder if Eureka has fixed this problem? my guess is no because the Hepa filter is probably too small to handle all the air flow so they have to bypass some of the air flow around it & into the house. It's a shame they don't respond to this issue. The other does not have a Hepa.

You may want a bit more power than this vacuum has. I use this model on dishwashers. The reason I got it is it isn't strong enough to damage the internal workings of a pump inside the dishwasher, but still removes the water. You shouldn't have to spend much more to get one with slightly higher power. That said, I could be wrong, but I would think a bunch of peanut shells might prove problematic. I hope that helps.

If it does, it is so inefficient that you don't even notice it. Great suction. The attachment hose is so short you can't clean anything higher, like drapes or a cobweb in the corner. But is had great suction.

Hello, yes it can when it is working properly. I love this thing, but it sometimes"spits up" h2o instead of just stream...it eventually starts acting rite throughout the cleaning process. Still a good buy for the amount of money

It doesn't suck out water, just debris and works by creating it's own suction when you put it into water at least 1' deep. I felt it would work better in water 2' deep.

It can clean up anything a regular vacuum can , but will not handle as much volume. And no it does not have blowing capability.

It all depends on what level you set the height of the vacuum if that's possible. If you don't set it too low or too high it does great!

Has pretty good pick up power for water, but the bucket is fairly small so you would have to keep on emptying it with a large amount of water. Hope this helps...

Sorry Mike, but in researching all vacuums, there are problems with them all. I cannot decide on one either by reading the reviews. I'm frustrated and wish a woman engineer would invent one so that all the negativity found in every brand would be solved.
