An Amazon user reviews the Eureka 169B Quick Up Vacuum Cleaner: “I got the Eureka 169B Quick Up Vacuum Cleaner for my dorm room, and it worked alright on the low carpeting of my room. The suction in addition to the the rolling brush will get most of the dirt off, but you will need several passes. If the dirt or whatever you are trying to vacuum is too concentrated in one area, the vacuum will sweep it forward on the ground, and you’ll have to keep passing over, slowly, it before it’ll be sucked up.

When I brought the Eureka 169B Quick Up Vacuum Cleaner home, it also worked on my plush carpeting, but at a severely diminished level. It will require several slow passes to clean properly. However, it will still work.

It’s small form-factor make it perfect for small areas, such as dorm rooms. However, for larger areas, or for places that you want to get *clean*, I would get a larger, real vacuum”
