Eureka NEU182A PowerSpeed Lightweight Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

I was amazed at how much it picked up the first time I used it. The suction is amazing. I live in a cold wintertime climate which means we get a lot of sand tracked in and it pulled up so much sand .. and I had just used my previous vacuum the day before. But be mindful of the 5 different power 1 - 5. I used 5 and it pulled out a carpet thread, (which I managed to crazy glue it back in) .. so I use 3 for carpet and one for flooring. Extremely easy to put together. It's a cinch to use each of the attachments.

Me llegó un día antes de lo esperado. La armé sin problema alguno, es fácil de hacerlo. Hoy la usé por primera vez y aspiré una area grande con alfombra. Trabajó muy bien, es potente y aspiró muy bien recogiendo todo el pelo de mis dos gatos. Tenía rato de no aspirar asi que la prueba fué ruda y la pasó sin problema. La limpié después de usarla y es sencillo de limpiar todas las partes y de volver a armar. Es bastante ligera y eso me agradó mucho.

This is a good item as reviews by others outside UAE. The voltage rating is 120V while UAE rating is 240v. Sellers should mention this in the description.

Turned it on, very loud, within literally 5 seconds started smoking and sparking. So dangerous!

So, I ordered a black and decker vacuum off of Amazon 9 months ago and it just turned off in the middle of vacuuming one day and decided to be done working. We have 2 big dogs and vacuum every other day if not daily. So, we cannot go without one. We used to get a vacuum at Walmart that would last quite a while, but I was looking for something less than $80 and maybe something we would like better and that is what led me to the black and decker. Since that one took a crap, I came on here to find something with better reviews and such. I came across this Eureka pretty quick and was quickly drawn to the over 7,000 reviews and the fact that it is lightweight and has an XL dust cup. After reading about the product and the reviews, I decided since it was on a great sale to go for it. We have had it only a few days so far, but it works like a champ. The pros for me are that it is very lightweight. I weighed the Eureka and my old one and there was just a 1 pound difference. The Eureka weighs about 11 pounds. I like that because I carry this up and down stairs to vacuum them and I can easily manage holding this. This sits higher so it is comfortable when pushing around. I like that it has the option to change from bare floor up to full carpet. One of the best parts is the XL dust cup. I showed a picture comparing my old one to this one and the size difference is huge. I love not having to empty it in the middle of vacuuming. While it is convenient to have the handle double as a wand extender, this was the one con I have found so far. When I vacuum using the wand, I like to hold the handle and pull the vacuum around with me and with the handle being in use that doesn't work well. Of course this is just a preference of mine. With all the vacuums we have had over the years we actually have some wand extenders we have fixed together and we just use that so we aren't overly bending over. I do wish the cord length was a bit longer. Of course that is just me being lazy and not wanting to change outlets often but when vacuuming the whole house, that is going to happen. When we got our old one, the cord was shorter than we were used to and had to get used to moving it a lot. While the Eureka can go a little further than our old one, it isn't much further. I still have to move outlets as much as before. I feel that it picks up things well both with the wand and being pushed around. It is easy to empty the dust cup and the filter is easy to get to and wash. I also don't feel it is extremely loud as I did read in some reviews. It sounds just as loud as any other vacuum I have ran before. So far I am pleased with my purchase and hoping to get some longevity out of it.
