Lighter and quieter than my Dyson
on October 10, 2021
Posted by: Kicker774
from Columbus, OH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a 2nd hand Dyson a few years ago for $100 from a neighbor who upgraded hers. It's done a good job but for the same if not cheaper price the Eureka PowerSpeed outperforms the Dyson. First off the weight alone is a game changer. At 11.5 pounds the Eureka is 10 lbs lighter than my Dyson. It's not that I can't handle carrying 20 lbs up and down 3 flights of stairs in my home, but when you eliminate 10 lbs. it makes a noticeable difference. Next feature my Dyson doesn't have the the wand tool. I've had previous vacuums with a wand tool and for cleaning out the car or the couch I've been using a shopvac. My shopvac has the same crevasse tool the Eureka does (Somewhere lost in the back of a closet) but the handle on the Eureka gives me a much better reach and much less hunching over. Plus when I'm finished with the crevasse tool, it slips right back into it's home on the vacuum vs. the back of a closet (I think). It doesn't seem like it should make that big of a difference on paper or when comparing features of a vacuum online, but it's kind of a game changer if I may be so bold to say so. Head to head vs. the Dyson they suck the same. You know those 3am infomercials where they spread broken glass across a carpet then run the featured vacuum across sucking everything up, not missing a shard and then the spokesmodel walks across the carpet barefoot unharmed to the oohhhs and ahhs of the studio audience watching on? Well I didn't do that. I didn't have a jar of marbles to suck up and my 12 lb. bowling ball is in the shop so I didn't put it up to any abuse tests. I just want it to suck up dirt. And from what I can see in the canister, it's doing just that. I just recently vacuumed not too long ago so maybe it's sucking up dust and dirt the Dyson has been leaving behind all these years. Finally, not only is the the Eureka half the weight of the Dyson, it's also half as loud. I could probably get away with vacuuming in the basement with my daughter sleeping upstairs in her 2nd floor bedroom. I could do a decibel test with the smartphone and do a comparison of the two but there's too big of a chance I'd wake my daughter running the Dyson. Then my wife would be mad at me and I'd erase the huge points gain I made by getting her a new lighter and quieter vacuum. Now to the men out there reading this, I don't recommend buying your wife this vacuum for her Birthday or Christmas (And for the love of all that is holy definitely not for Valentines day). Buy this for yourself and don't even mention it to your wife. As soon as it arrives, go outside and use the wand attachment to clean out your car. Then maybe to show off, vacuum up all the stones, mulch, dirt and such you've been tracking in the house off the front steps and by the front door. Once your finished you'll capture the attention of your wife and she'll ask you to do the rest of the house while your at it instead of watching the football game. Ok so maybe that's not so much of a positive there but at the end of the day wouldn't you much rather do the work with one lightweight vacuum instead of one heavy vacuum and one awkward shopvac? I dare say that's a Eureka moment my friend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very light weight and great suction!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Impressed with this little vacuum it packs a punch! Very powerful cant believe how much dirt dust and dog hair it picks up. I just wish the Power On lever and retractor lever were a little sturdier plastic. Otherwise its a great vacuum for the price!!! Pros: This vacuums the carpets (6 cats) better than the shark. I like that the exhaust is under the canister in the front. When you tilt the handle back to vacuum, it directs the exhaust upwards, so that you're not blowing the hair on the floor around. The low profile and width of the head makes it pretty easy to get under the front of couches, between chair legs, etc. Cons: The cord is short, the hose is short, there is no extension tube, only two tools on board. I have a massive sectional I can't move, and can't get behind it with this vacuum. The hose is so short that the vacuum falls over. The roller brush never shuts off, so put it on the high setting when using accessories, and tilt the handle back when working in low places. It is light enough to lift, which helps somewhat with the higher places. It might be possible to find an extension tube and better accessories online.

Eureka is the best!

from Canton, MA
Easy to assemble. What suction. I moved into a carpeted apartment and bought a Eureka swivel stick vacuum and as usual Eureka did what I needed. But my indoor allergies were kicking up. So I knew I had to go to the next level. Of course my go to choice is Eureka. Mind you I had 6 months of stuff I couldn't see with the naked eye. Well did the whole apartment love the extra big bag less compartment .still had plenty of room. It was a true test of this vacuum. It got everything right down to the bottom of the carpets. It got every bit of my silver hair that had fallen out over the last 6 months. I haven't sneezed since. It was a joy to use lightweight and the extra long cord is nice. The extra cleaning attachments will be good for my blinds and furniture. Once again Eureka has come through. I'm now a proud owner of two Eureka vacuums. I'm glad I have the stick, because I use that to get under the bed and sofa. Thank you Eureka!

Disappointed

I wanted this vacuum for the turbo brush, I have a cat so the brush was a must. I'm disappointed, the cord is so short and the turbo brush isn't turbo at all, the suction on it is terrible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very NOISY, have to wear headphones!!!
on January 20, 2021

from Camillus
Great suchion power is only reason I gave it 2 stars....It runs with a loud high pitched whistling sound. I put on pandora radio with headphones, but i can still hear the whistle (Extremely annoying) Called customer service and she heard it and said its normal. I don't believe her and will not do anything about it. Since it works well, I'll deal with it, but will not buy another Eureka vacuum again. If you don't have any headphones lying around, I suggest you don't buy one this product either!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

OK Product, But Hose is WAY Too Short
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: Kelli
from Ashland, VA
Got 2 of these for myself for Christmas. The hose is way too short and nobody seems to have a suitable extension hose for it. A shame that I'd have to pay extra for an adequate hose but nobody having one is adding insult to injury. Pretty darned disappointed, Eureka.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No reviews???? I can't believe it. I love this vacuum.

I love this vacuum so much. I had a dyson that was expensive and I could not understand it. Several books and pamphlets came with it, plus cardboard things with warnings. All had to be studied before starting! I read them but couldn't match the machine to the drawings, even after months. One day it did its stalling thing to tell me there was something stuck somewhere. (Well it did this every few minutes) I cleared it by taking it apart. This is a long story but it's relevant, I assure you. I was sure there were no blockages in the hoses or anywhere. Finally I took a thin rag and pulled it all the way thru from top to bottom. There was nothing. But still the machine said "there's a blockage! I won't go anymore!" I threw it in the dumpster. Then, online, I bought this darling machine. I felt I would probably be in the wrong again, and unworthy because I didn't understand machines. But, this Eureka PowerSpeed is so simple, so strong, so excellent. It is on my side! What else can I say? It runs beautifully. The suction when I use the attachments is just as strong as when it's upright. It's a dream to empty. I still can't get over it. And for some reason, it cost half or less than half of that other one. Fewer text books, maybe. I'll never put it in the trash but when it's too old to work, maybe I'll just keep it peacefully in the closet for its old age. (kidding but maybe I will).
I would recommend this to a friend!
