The Eureka Mighty Mite is a budget-friendly canister vacuum designed with bare floors in mind. It easily picks up pet hair as well as small and large debris on this surface type, which makes it a handy tool in a garage. It also has very good overall performance on carpet but it struggles a bit more with small debris. If you need to get into harder-to-reach places, the wand is made of two separate pieces so you can shorten it. Unfortunately, it has a plasticky build quality and it uses a dirtbag, so you need to replace it when it's full. That said, maintenance is outstandingly easy with this vacuum and the dirtbag is its only recurring cost.
Our Verdict

While it has an overall plasticky build quality, it's outstandingly easy to maintain. The dirtbag is also the only major recurring cost, as it needs to be replaced when full.

The Eureka Mighty Mite is decent for high-pile carpet. It has no problem with pet hair and it can pick up a good amount of large debris. However, it struggles a bit more with small debris like baking soda. Its mediocre build quality doesn't stand out, either. However, it's a very easy vacuum to maintain and the dirtbag is the only recurring cost, which is great.

While it doesn't come with a HEPA filter to help trap allergens, its pre-motor filter doesn't need to be replaced if you take good care of it. Maintenance is very easy and the only part you need to worry about is replacing the dirtbag when it's full.

The Eureka Mighty Mite is great for stairs. It's a lightweight vacuum, and while it doesn't have a significantly long cord or hose range, it should be able to cover a flight of stairs. It's at its best when cleaning bare floors as it easily picks up pet hair and debris but it can also pick up a fair bit of debris on carpet too. However, the vacuum has a plasticky feel to it.

The Eureka Mighty Mite is great for cars. This vacuum is lightweight and easily portable. Since its wand is made of two pieces, you can easily shorten it to reach more difficult areas. While it doesn't have the longest reach, you can fit its tools and brushes into its on-board storage so you don't have to keep going back to grab more parts. The vacuum is easy to maintain, even though it has a mediocre build.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Eureka Mighty Mite 3670M also comes in two other variants: the Eureka Mighty Mite 3670G and the Eureka Mighty Mite 3670H. The major difference lays in the number of dirtbags included in the box and their color.
| Model Name | Parts Included | Canister Color |
| Eureka Mighty Mite 3670G | x2 dirtbags | Yellow |
| Eureka Mighty Mite 3670H | x2 dirtbags | Blue |
| Eureka Mighty Mite 3670M | x5 dirtbags | Yellow |
That being said, we expect both variant models to perform similarly to our test unit. If someone comes across a Mighty Mite that's different from ours, let us know in the discussions and we'll update our review.
Compared To Other Vacuums
The Eureka Mighty Mite 3670M is a budget-level canister vacuum meant for cleaning bare floors like garages. It has an incredible performance on bare floors as it's able to pick up pet hair as well as small and large debris with little problem. It also has few maintenance needs aside from emptying its dirtbag when full, and it comes with a couple of handy tools to help you clean places like the inside of your car. If you're looking for more vacuums, check out our recommendations for the best vacuums, the best vacuums for high-pile carpet, and the best vacuums for pet hair.
The Eureka Whirlwind Bagless Canister and the Eureka Mighty Mite are similarly-performing canister vacuums. The Whirlwind feels better built, has less recurring costs, and offers better performance on low as well as high-pile carpet. However, the Mighty Mite is slightly better on bare floors. It also comes with more tools, it's a bit more portable, and it has a longer range. User maintenance is much easier, and its dirt compartment holds more.
The Miele Classic C1 is a more versatile canister vacuum than the Eureka Mighty Mite. The Miele feels better built, it's easier to maintain, and it comes with a soft bristle brush for cleaning more delicate objects. It also has better performance on high-pile carpet and it's more maneuverable. However, the Eureka has better performance on bare floors as well as low-pile carpet, it has a longer range, and it's more portable. Its recurring costs are lower too.
The Eureka Mighty Mite is a superior all-around choice to the BISSELL Zing Bagged Canister. The Eureka is a little easier to maintain, performs noticeably better on low-pile carpet and bare floors, and has lower recurring costs with a longer range. Conversely, the BISSELL deals with finer debris on high-pile carpet more effectively.
The Eureka Mighty Mite and BISSELL Zing Bagless Canister have different strengths. The Eureka is a bagged canister vacuum with better bare floor performance, less demanding maintenance requirements, fewer recurring costs, and slightly lighter construction. The bagless BISSELL feels slightly sturdier and does a better job on both low and high-pile carpet.
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3-in-1 Backpack Vacuum Kit and Eureka Mighty Mite are differently-designed vacuums with different strengths, so one may suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. The Milwaukee is a better-built backpack/handheld vacuum with a cordless design, allowing you to clean areas far from an electrical outlet. It also feels better-built, has a bagless design that incurs low recurring costs, and has an onboard HEPA filter. Meanwhile, the Eureka is a much more compact canister vacuum that uses disposable dirtbags. It's even easier to maintain and delivers better performance on low-pile carpet.
The Eureka Mighty Mite is a better canister vacuum for bare floors than the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball. The Eureka has a larger dirt compartment, it's lighter, and since its wand is made of two separate parts, you can shorten the wand for more maneuverability. It also has significantly better performance on all surface types. However, the Dyson has no recurring costs. It's also easier to store, more maneuverable, and it comes with more tools and brushes.
The NaceCare HVR 200 Henry is better than the Eureka Mighty Mite, but the latter is still a great budget-friendly option. The Eureka is substantially smaller and lighter, and has an even easier-to-maintain design. It also has a relatively powerful suction motor for a vacuum at this price point, though it doesn't offer the same level of deep-cleaning performance as the more potent NaceCare. However, the NaceCare feels much better built, features a cord retraction mechanism, has a much longer range, and uses bigger dirtbag that hold a lot more debris. It comes with a few more brushes and tools too.
The Eureka Mighty Mite is a better vacuum than the Dirt Devil Endura Max, though they vary quite drastically in terms of design. As a result of its bagged design, the Eureka incurs higher recurring costs than the bagless Dirt Devil since you'll need to replace its dirtbag once it's filled up. This also makes it much easier and more hygienic to dispose of any accumulated debris and results in significantly better filtration performance. The Eureka also weighs less, making it far more maneuverable, and delivers significantly better overall performance on all surface types, even with just a straight suction floorhead.
The Eureka Mighty Mite and Airsign HEPA Vacuum each have advantages, so one might suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. The Eureka has a longer range and weighs considerably less, making it a better option for cleaning far-off areas like the inside of your car. However, the Airsign is a better fit for most types of household cleaning, with three different suction power modes and a suction control slider that allows you to adapt to different surfaces on-the-fly. The Airsign also has a multi-stage filtration system that will be more effective in sealing in allergens.
The Dyson Humdinger and the Eureka Mighty Mite are different vacuums, each better suited to different uses. The Dyson is a cordless handheld vacuum that's great for spot cleaning small messes or cleaning hard-to-reach areas. Meanwhile, the Eureka is a corded canister vacuum, so it's not limited by battery life and has a much larger dirt compartment, making it better for cleaning larger spaces. That said, the Eureka has more recurring costs than the Dyson since it uses disposable dirtbags.
Test Results
The Eureka Mighty Mite 3670M has mediocre build quality. It's completely made of plastic, which makes it look a little cheap, but most of it is fairly sturdy. However, while it's easy to assemble all of its parts, the wand could fall apart if not properly clipped together.
This vacuum is outstandingly easy to maintain. It doesn't have a brushroll and the manual doesn't state that the vacuum head needs to be maintained either.
- Dirt compartment: You can access this part by removing the hose from the canister and opening the lid. The bag has arrows to let you know to close it when you remove the bag to prevent debris from spilling out. The bag needs to be emptied when full.
- Pre-motor filter: The pre-motor filter is located behind the dirtbag. The manual doesn't specify further instructions other than to clean when needed. You can wash this filter if necessary.
If you wash any part with water, it's recommended that you air dry it for 24 hours before using it again.
This vacuum has one main recurring cost, which is its dirtbag. This part needs to be replaced when full and can be purchased directly from Eureka's website. The pre-motor filter shouldn't need to be replaced, as long as it's well-maintained. That being said, if you're often cleaning fine debris like plaster dust or powder, the manual recommends changing the bag and filter more often. If you're looking for a budget-friendly vacuum that doesn't use a dirtbag that needs to be regularly replaced, take a look at the BISSELL Zing Bagless Canister.
The Eureka Mighty Mite is alright to store. With the hose upright, it's quite tall but it shouldn't be too much of a problem if you're storing it in your garage. It also has on-board tool storage for its crevice tool and combination tool.
This vacuum has a great dirt compartment. It's quite large and it has an indicator to let you know when it's full. It even comes with five bags, which is pretty handy.

- Hose with handle
- Wand (two pieces)
- Vacuum head
- Pre-motor filter
- Crevice tool
- Combination tool (upholstery and hard bristle brush)
- x5 Dirtbags
- User guide
The Eureka Mighty Mite has an acceptable range. Its cord and hose lengths aren't particularly long. While you may not have a problem if you're just cleaning your garage, if you have more space to cover, you may need to change outlets more frequently. If you're looking for a cordless vacuum well-suited to shop cleaning, consider the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3-in-1 Backpack Vacuum Kit.
This vacuum has great portability. It's light, especially when compared to other canister vacuums like the Eureka Whirlwind Bagless Canister and the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball. It also comes with a carrying handle, so it's easy to move from one room to another.
This vacuum doesn't use a battery.
This vacuum has a couple of extra features. Unlike the Airsign HEPA Vacuum, there isn't a power adjustment feature for its motor. Thankfully, there's a slip ring on the hose that you can open or close to control its suction level. You can also adjust the main head to extend its bristles for hard floors or retract them for carpets.
The Eureka Mighty Mite 3670M comes with a couple of tools. The combination brush is both an upholstery tool as well as a crevice tool. The wand also comes in two pieces so you can remove one section to adjust its length.
You can use this vacuum in another configuration by removing one part of the wand to shorten its length.
This vacuum is fantastic on bare floors. It can pick up pet hair, as well as small and large debris without a problem. Its performance also stays consistent, even as the dirtbag fills.
This vacuum is great on low-pile carpet. It can pick up pet hair and most large debris. It struggles a bit more with smaller debris like baking soda though. On the upside, it delivers consistent performance, even as the dirtbag fills up.
This vacuum is good for high-pile carpet. It can pick up pet hair without a problem but it struggles more than the BISSELL Zing Bagged Canister to pick up small and large debris. However, its performance stays consistent, even as the dirt compartment fills up.
This vacuum has good maneuverability. The vacuum head and handle are very light. As the wand is in two pieces, you need to make sure they're properly aligned, otherwise it could be harder to maneuver. That said, the wand has a good reach to get under couches and tables, but you may have to crouch a bit to keep the vacuum head from lifting off the floor. It's easy to move around electrical cords and to clean furniture thanks to its tools. Long tassels from a rug could get stuck on the head, though.
