Haan Slim &amp; Light vs. Eureka - which to buy?? Has anyone tried both of these?

This reply may be a bit late, but I have now had both the enviro and the Haan SI-35R light mop. I thought the enviro was good before I had something to compare it to! The enviro just suddenly quit on me after a few uses. I now have the Haan SI-35R and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It's steam generating system is different and I feel it produces more steam and does it much faster... upon startup...about 30 seconds for the haan vs 3-4 minutes for the enviro. The enviro has a heavy cloppy base and the cotton pads do not let much steam through them after they become wet, which is pretty quickly. The enviro adjustable handle keeps slipping. The enviro pads shrink badly and become thicker. The slim Haan has a detachable water tank for easy filling and emptying. You have to pick the enviro up and try to dump the leftover water out into the sink or wherever. Try doing this with the handle hanging there. The haan pads are great and so easy to put on. The enviro ones need to be clipped on and it can be tough to get them gripped tight since they are bulky and the clips are plastic. I just love the haan all around.

The Eureka AS1051A is 18.5 pounds. Not as light as I wanted, but it does work on Smartstrand Silk.

to tell you the truth there isn't any difference, the only slight difference are the dates they were released to amazon, they say you can read with them, you really can't. the motion light with a shade is much better. the electric touch lamp is the best, 3 different levels, $54.

I just returned a Eureka that was LOUD! This is 10x quieter... Depends on what u consider loud.

The MZ model is newer. If you go the Eureka store within Amazon there's a call out in the upper right hand corner with an article on the updated GZ and it links to the MZ.

Great question! I can't say for sure, as I have only owned the Berkey Light. However, I have found no shortcomings with the Light, and my guess is that the only major difference would be appearance and weight. The stainless model is nice and shiny, but it's heavier, and probably doesn't work any better than my plastic model. I have experienced none of the issues mentioned by the other poster (weakness and breakage) with my own Berkey Light. Also, with the Light, you can see the water level, which is a BIG plus. Robert

I also have the Tudia Melody case, and while it's decent, I find the Cruzerlite to be superior. It just feels more solid on the edges. Also, and this is just personal opinion, I feel that it looks better.

Honestly....i don't know , all I know is , that reading reviews you can always find some unhappy customers even if some vacuum costs 1000 dollars . Eureka is cheap And of course for this price you shouldn't expect some miracles , it works Great , at least for me very light , easy to move around And that's what I wanted so I ma really happy with it especially , that didn't have to spend hundreds of dollars for it .

Dave, They have a light cradle listed for Mighty Brites at Amazon. Mighty Bright 80910 is the item number. I'm not sure whether its compatible with the bigger orchestra light, but it's pretty cheap so you wouldn't be out much if it didn't work. It says besides being weighted, it's magnetic too. $3.07 plus shipping.

I can't speak for the Eureka model, but I know that my wife is totally happy with this B&D model. She uses it to clean up our hardwood floors in-between a "full-on" vacuuming with the large vacuum. It works great for picking up cat litter!

I bought a Eureka EasyClean Corded Hand-Held Vacuum, 71B which I keep in my closet. It makes all of my Space Bags much more usable. (Previously, I ended up not sealing them back up.)

Sorry, I don't know. It seems every month there are new and more powerful models, in all brands. I'm happy with the cheap $12 Costco Duracell 500 lumen C battery one, except for the annoying square light pattern.

Definitely go with a Braava. The Scooba is an older design that doesn't work as well.

I'm sorry but I have no idea. All I know is that: 1. these attachments are quite small and not all that wide and 2.they do not fit the Eureka Easy Clean Hand Held one.

They are both really good, but if I'd known about XL model I probably would have gone for it instead. I love the 2" micro adjust on the XL as that's totally handy. I also love the toggle on the head clamp because it's a cool way to do it, but also it's easy to reclamp instead of undoing the screw like on the lesser model. I think the $20 or so more for the XL is worth it for those features, but I'm not going to get rid of the standard stand.
