Lightweight Powerful Upright Vacuum Cleaner for Carpet and Hard Floor, PowerSpeed, New Model,Blue,black/New Model

This is a good, powerful vacuum that has everything you need as a first-time apartment dweller. It works well on both carpet and hard floors, is easy to use, and simple to clean. Lightweight design with solid suction makes it a great value for the price.

I looked at lots of vacuums and read lots of reviews. This Eureka PowerSpeed NEU 180 sounded good, with lots of great reviews. I need something that will take care of pet hair (dog and a cat) and be simple to use and empty, and not require replaceable filters. A lot of reviewers showed how much hair the vac got up after using their old vacuum first. They were not kidding! I ran the Eureka over a short nap carpet about 15 x 15 feet, and the dust bin was nearly full of hair and dirt. it had only been a couple of days since I vacuumed with my old Rainbow. I am amazed! This thing is light and easy to maneuver, gets under the toe space and under the edges of furniture easily. It cleans right to the edge. Unlike any vacuum I ever had before, this is NOT noisy. I always wore hearing protectors with the old ones, and don't even need them with this Not loud or obnoxious at all. The ease of dumping the dust bin is a big thing for me. I hesitated to use the Rainbow because you have to fill it with water, then find a place to dump the water/dirt/hair sludge. Then rinse and clean the cannister. My old Filter Queen used paper filters that need to be changed, and it was a nasty dusty mess to empty. Also very heavy. Also expensive: I paid something like $450 for that think way back in 1972! The new Eureka Was $78. Both the Filter Queen and Rainbow were getting problems, but still worked. I also have a Dirt Devil I bought years ago and used about twice and hated. (Want them? Come and get 'em for FREE.) I can't find anything negative about the Eureka. I am looking forward to vacuuming the rest of the house and picking up a bushel of pet hair. Some notes on things previous reviewers complained about: Some folks talked about the hole in the end of the handle, and that the hose was too short. They must not have gotten the instructions with theirs. The handle doubles as a wand that extends the hose so you can reach furniture, drapes, etc. The Owner's Use Manual that came with mine is great. Well Illustrated, thorough, and easy to understand. Another plus. Several people said the height adjustment did not work, and it either was too low and burned the carpet, or too high and wouldn't clean. I checked min before using it, and the height adjustment wheels were indeed stuck and would not lower when you turned the knob. I called Customer Service right away. Got a person quickly who was very helpful. While she was taking my information, I kept fiddling with the height rollers, and it started working! I am not mechanically illiterate, but do not know why it unstuck or what was holding it to begin with. So, it works fine. I did find that Customer Service was very responsive. I will update this review if anything changes or problems arise. Maybe it is kind of sad that at this stage in life I get excited about a new vacuum (smile) but it is a real treat to find a great product at a great price that really works!

Works fine, and is light weight. Wish I didn't "cheap out" and got a vacuum with a HEPA filter, just because they do an excellent job of filtering the exhaust. This one seems to filter OK, but I would feel better with a HEPA filter. Easy to clean the waste. and vacuums well. For the price, it's a good deal

Instructions easy to follow with minimal effort, good suction, like the ease of on board tools, weight okay for 70 year old using on stairs, picks up pet hair, works well for my needs. A bit loud but tolerable. Would buy again.

Excellent machine, great suction, easy assembly, light, easy to keep clean, easy from floor to carpet, Excellent price, good tools, clear basket to see when you need to empty it. All around Excellent!

For years I was using a mini shop vac to clean my room size carpet and wood floors. I could not believe the amount of dirt and hair that this vacuum picked up the first time I used it! It has a strong motor with great suction power, works great on carpet or wood floors.

I wasn’t sure about this vacuum cleaner because it was very reasonably priced, but when I got it and used it for the first time, I thought it was gonna suck the carpet right up into it. It has so much power and it’s very lightweight.

Order arrived quickly. Vacuum is not lightweight to me. Makes a loud whistling noise when working. The extendable hose is super short and difficult to use. Unit falls over while trying to do this. Hose attachments are tiny and almost useless. Best just to use it on cleaning floors. Rug height dial doesn't seem to do anything. Works the same no matter the setting. Unit is OK, I don't love it.
