Eureka Vacuum Cleaners for Home, PowerSpeed Lightweight, NEU181D

The Eureka PowerSpeed Vacuum doesn’t just clean my floors—it cleans my soul. This thing is an absolute beast in vacuum form. It’s so powerful, I’m half expecting it to start vacuuming things I didn’t even ask it to, like my taxes or existential dread. Suction Power: Let’s start with the obvious: this vacuum sucks. And I mean that as the highest compliment. It’s like a black hole on wheels. The first time I turned it on, I felt a breeze as it sucked up dust from across the room like it had a personal vendetta against dirt. Pet hair? Gone. Crumbs? Obliterated. Socks I didn’t know I dropped? Oops… well, now they’re in the vacuum. It’s so powerful, I had to hold on for dear life, lest I, too, be sucked into its vortex of cleanliness. Weight: Despite its power, this vacuum is as lightweight as a feather—okay, maybe a slightly heavy feather, but still. It’s shockingly easy to push around. I found myself doing a little vacuum dance across the carpet, practically pirouetting from room to room. Who knew vacuuming could make me feel this graceful? Take that, dust bunnies! My moves are unstoppable now. Pet Turbo: The pet turbo feature is like the vacuum’s secret weapon. It’s specifically designed to go to war with pet hair, and trust me, it’s winning every battle. I have a dog who sheds like she’s trying to create a new carpet on top of my existing carpet. The pet turbo attachment just rolled up like, “I got this,” and within seconds, my floors were cleaner than they’ve been since 1997. It’s like hiring a professional pet hair assassin. Versatility: This vacuum can handle everything—carpets, hard floors, rugs, you name it. It doesn’t discriminate. My carpets look fluffier, my hardwood floors are shining, and I swear my vacuum even found dirt under the floorboards. Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if it’s magic. It’s as if Mary Poppins became a vacuum cleaner and is now just tidying up my house with cheerful abandon. Drawbacks: There’s only one downside I’ve found—once you experience this kind of suction power, there’s no going back. I vacuumed my entire house in one day, and now I’m vacuuming just for the thrill of it. I’ve vacuumed the same spot three times today, simply because it’s so satisfying. I think I might have a problem, but it’s the cleanest problem I’ve ever had. Final Thoughts: The Eureka PowerSpeed Vacuum is the hero my floors deserve. It’s lightweight, it’s powerful, and it tackles pet hair like a boss. If you’re looking for a vacuum that sucks in the best way possible, this is it. Just be prepared—you might become too obsessed with clean floors. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some more vacuuming to do (even though I vacuumed 20 minutes ago).

This is hands-down the best vacuum I’ve ever owned. I bought it after watching Project Farm’s thorough testing, and it has not disappointed.It’s surprisingly lightweight, making it easy to carry up and down stairs and maneuver around the house without fatigue. The suction power is excellent — it pulls up dirt, pet hair, and debris with no problem. It performs beautifully on both carpet and hardwood floors, transitioning smoothly between surfaces without losing performance.I’m extremely impressed with how well it cleans. Highly recommend! If you’re looking for a powerful, lightweight vacuum that delivers real results, this one is worth every penny.

We had a 20-yearold Eureka bagless that broke, and this was the nearest we found. Glad we did! It's a little larger than the broken one, but a bit less large, heavy and cumbersome than our old Hoover upright. And a lot lighter in weight! This one (somehow) came with the extra pet-hair mini roller brush, but I had to go look up the Bissell version on line to find out how to take it apart for cleaning the mini roller. Works the same, and the device is REALLY useful for getting into small places. We have a long-hair cat. With 8 amps, this thing really pulls up dirt! Seriously pulls up dirt! I set it to the low "Carpet" level, for an old shag carpet in the trailer house. I'm living here, but the owner's been here for a long time. I've been cleaning with that old Eureka, and it's (I thought) been pretty clean. I was getting a lot of fuzz, cat hair, and some fine dirt, but all in all, okay. Then I used this guy! Holy Cow!! The first pass after setting it up, there was almost an entire "bucket" container of something greyish-brown. Plus a lot of fuzz and a lot of cat hair. I asked the owner, who told me that many years ago, she'd had a flea problem and sprinkled diatomaceous earth all over. Fixed the fleas, but she never cleaned the carpets. Suddenly, I'm using this new Eureka and it's pulling EVERYthing out of the carpet! After only two times using it (back in April; it's now September), almost all that "dust" was gone. Now, I'm getting general dirt, cat hair, dust and carpet fuzz. Normal. 1. After the first-time use, with the massive amount of "newly discovered" dirt, the roller bar was almost entirely clear! No wrapped hair or anything gunked up in the brush bristles. Amazing! 2. Disassembling for cleaning, I found that the main vacuum body was almost entirely clean! No outer dust anywhere on the plastic. The only dust was at the connection hole between the body and the container bucket -- easy to clean with a swipe of a sponge or rag. 3. Cleaning the container and filter was pretty simple, but a little bit of time involved. Cleaning: A push-button on the top handle releases the catch bin as a complete unit unto itself. There's another button near the bottom of that basin, which then releases a gravity-operated "lid." BE SURE TO KEEP THE BOTTOM OF THE BUCKET WELL BELOW THE UPPER EDGE OF YOUR TRASH CONTAINER! By pushing the release button to open the bottom of the bucket, you're simply dropping out ALL the crud you've picked up in the catch basin! It comes flying out, dust-cloud and all! Still, there's some remaining junk clinging to the clear plastic bucket walls. I like "BANG!" cleaner spray, which is cheap (Dollar Tree), and works very well. I also have a spray attachment on the kitchen sink, which makes it very easy to get water inside the bucket "tube." There's a plastic "clasp" or catch you pull on, to open the top of the overall basin. I'd imagine that catch will eventually break, but who knows.....none of the plastic on the 20-yearold ever broke. With the bottom open and the top hinged back, you can clean the entire catch basin. It's large enough (easily) that you can get your hand in there with a sponge. The BANG! makes it easier, and water rinses it all out. The entire filter section comes apart, which is why I bought this. You lift out the filter assembly (the instruction manual shows how), and there are several parts. The filter itself is foam with some sort of paper on top. It's there to prevent dust from blowing into the motor, and both the bottom (foam) and top (paper) got totally covered with dust. Being gentle with it, I was easily able to clean it under running water. I couldn't find these round filters anywhere in stores, so ordered a 6-pack of replacements on Amazon. Not all that expensive. I've used and cleaned this vacuum now probably 8 times (since April, it's now September), and the filter is still pretty together. I can see it's going to degrade, but if it lasts four months (or more), then I only need to replace it three times a year. Very cost effective. And this place has all the old micro dust along with the cat hair, so the filter has to get cleaned after each use. For "normal people" and their homes, I think you could use the cleaner several times without cleaning every single time. The attachments are all there, easily stored on the body of the machine. The hose attaches to the roller base during upright use, and comes loose to attach to the handle for portable use. DO follow the instruction manual! The places for the attachments, and how to connect the different hose operations aren't immediately obvious. Some people complain that the roller bar always turns. The old Eureka had a 2-way switch for upright (with roller bar), and portable (for smooth floors and portable use). This power switch only is On/Off. I don't care. You can raise the level of the roller for "wood floors," if it really makes you anxious. All in all, having sold vacuum cleaners in the past, I'd have to say this is one of the most powerful machines I've ever seen for its size, weight, and price! Yes, it's all plastic, to keep the weight around 8-10lbs or so, but today's plastics are pretty rugged. I'm thinking it'll last long enough to be a good investment.

This is my 3rd shark vacuum I've purchased over the last 7 years. The blue one in the picture being the oldest. I can't stress enough how amazing these shark vacuums are. We have a large family. 2 adults, 5 children, 1 dog (Shiba inu), 2 siamese cats, 1 hamster, and 2 guinea pigs! I stated the above to show the need for three vacuums. Our home needs to be vacuumed daily, if not multiple times per day. My children aging from 9 to 16 years old leave a trail of dirt everywhere they walk it seems! Lol Our dog, a Shiba inu, sheds (has a blow) 2x to 3x per year that literally fills up garbage bags with all his hair when the blows happen. My daughters guinea pigs and hamsters cages are vacuumed out daily and when all bedding is changed a deep cleaning is needed. Our cats shed all day, everyday of the year. Now that you have a little background let's get to why these sharks are the best bang for your buck. We exclusively use the blue shark for the cage cleaning of the guinea pigs and hamster. This vacuum gets the heaviest use and longest run time out of the 3. It has lasted 7+ years and done its job beyond belief. We live in a 2 story home so we use our other 2 vacuums for regular vacuuming. One stays upstairs and one stays downstairs so we don't have to lug them up and down the stairs every time we vacuum. The middle white vacuum is 5 years old now and still works as if it is brand new. The first vacuum is used for our downstairs which deals with all the kids dirt and dog hair. Each one of these vacuums serves its purpose beyond belief. I have owned many lower end vacuums in the past and just thought that is how vacuums operate, not picking much up but doing its job. I owned a Dyson for 6 days a few years back to see what all the hype was about and after using it I sent it right back because nothing compares to these shark vacuums. The maneuverability of this vacuum is 2nd to none. The suction stands out above any vacuum I've ever used. The detachable canister is a life saver while doing my stairs and getting to hard to reach areas. When I received my first shark and ran a test after using a Bissell vacuum for years I almost felt like calling Bissell and giving them a piece of my mind. The amount of hair and dirt that I picked up was truly unbelievable and honestly, disgusting! I can say without a doubt or hesitation this is by far the best vacuum you can get for your money. The longevity (7+ years heavy use), price, ease of use, and maneuverability of this vacuum make it stand apart from every other vacuum on the market in my opinion. Do yourself and your home a favor and buy it. If you don't like it.....send it back! I promise you will be so satisfied that you'll be a life long shark vacuum buyer and will recommend shark to all your friends and family!

I have purchased 3 of these over the years. Why? 1) They are very reasonable in price. 2) Lightweight. 3) Tremendous suction. 4) Long power cord. 5) The attachments & features are great. 6) Very easy to lift off the large (clear) dirt container & empty. 7) The filter is very easy to remove & wash out with hot water & Dawn. I have another filter so I have 2. I wash one out, hang to dry & install the other one. Note- why have I purchased 3? Cause I like new stuff, & this is not that expensive. I am the crazy guy who sweeps the sweeper with it's own hose! I have never had one breakdown. I just use it for a few years then get new. You can also take it outside to sweep out your car as well. Also since lightweight I can lift it putting the powerhead on my carpeted steps pulling backwards to sweep. Highly recommend!

Love it. Powerful suction, versatile, very long electrical cord, accessories adequate and store away on deck nicely. However the hose is kinda short and the small roller gets clogged easily. Otherwise very happy

I know you get what you pay for and while this isn't a bottom line product it's definitely not top of the line. It is loud. Yes, vacuums are loud but this one I'll need to make sure I'm not using it too early / late so as not to annoy my neighbors. It blows a lot. So yeah, it's a vacuum and it has good suction but it's marketed as good for home with pets. I hadn't swept for over a week and have a short haired dog with a fluffy undercoat. As I approached a clump of fluff it gets blown away and up, making it a bit frustrating. I'm hoping that as I use it more often this won't be as much of an issue. Small 1 bedroom apartment, used a central outlet and was able to reach every corner. The cord is not retractable but that tends to be something that ends up breaking well before the vacuum itself. Relatively easy to use. Will need to adjust the brush height for my bathroom rugs but that's easy enough. Not super lightweight but I've used heavier ones. The fact that it's all plastic keeps it lighter but makes me wonder how long it will last before something cracks. Washable filter is a bonus and the canister emptied easily. More of a hassle to return for a different one so I'll keep it and see how it goes.

Item as described - easy/intuitive to put together, descent instruction booklet, used on low carpet and bare floors with clean results. Also easy to empty. Low front gets into tight spots. Very happy w purchase. I do wish it had a cord auto recoil.

Habia tenido una aspiradora de la misma marca pero un poco mas pequeña y liviana. esta es mas pesada pero vale la pena por la potencia y eficacia al limpiar. Muy recomendable,

A ton of suction. Love it.

Great value vacuum, ProjectFarm recommended this and I can see why, way better price to performance ratio compared to big name brand vacuums. Attachments work great, cleans great, everything great honestly. And 2 day prime!

Excelente aspiradora muy potente, me encanta

Excelente para limpiar el pelo de mis gatos. Son 4 y necesitaba algo así. Buena potencia aunque un poco pesada al momento de agregar los elementos expandibles para limpiar las partes altas. Pero sin duda cumple con todo lo que buscaba.
