Tools and Hardware Reviews of EUREKA Easy Clean Hand Vacuum 5 lbs, Yellow
Customer Review: Good brush, okay suction.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Good:
- The rotating brush is powered, which makes it rare, possibly unique, in handheld vacuums. A separate motor drives the brush. You can turn on just the suction, or both the suction and the brush. Not only that, the brush belt is covered, so it won't be damaged by whatever you are vacuuming up (a bugaboo for other vacuums, even my cast-aluminum Kirby.)
- It seems pretty sturdy.
- It does a good job on carpet and upholstered furniture. It especially does well on the job I expressly purchased it for: cat hair.
- It comes with a crevice tool that stores in the vacuum itself, and the hose is built into the body (and is actually used as part of the machine's regular operation.) No little fussy parts and hoses and such to lose. To use the hose, just unplug it from the head assembly. If you want, attach the crevice too. Easy!
- It doesn't make so much noise that you are scared of it. My 1000-watt Euro-pro Super Shark howls and screams like a Tasmanian devil. And the motor spins so fast that it creates gyroscopic forces, making the vacuum twist in your hand like it is trying to get away. And it gets quite hot, within seconds.
The Not-so-good:
- It is fairly large. Especially, it is long, about 16 inches. That might make it hard to fit into little crannies.
- The handle is slightly uncomfortable. The handle itself is a little too fat for me (and I am a 5'10" man with "Large" hands, according to my gloves.) And the excitingly swoopy design means the handle joins the body at an acute angle at the rear, creating a pinch point. Not a big deal, but still.
- The vacuum emits lots of dust. That is typical for handheld vacuums, especially the more powerful ones. Like most others, this one has a simple dome-shaped filter made of non-pleated synthetic felt, which apparently lets the finer dust through. (My Euro-pro Super Shark handheld has a second HEPA filter for the exhaust, which does reduce particle emissions. It also probably cuts suction power quite a bit.)
- Emptying the dust collector is a little messy. You probably want a large, fairly empty trash can to do it, since you will be tapping the collector to get the dust and hair out. If you are sensitive to dust, you might want to do it outside. Incidentally, the instructions say not to rinse the filter in water, but I probably will do that anyway.
- Its suction is not actually that powerful. It doesn't match my 1000 watt Euro-pro Super Shark (apparently discontinued) for suction power. On the other hand, the Euro-pro doesn't have a powered brush (it has an awful air-turbine powered brush that has no power and emits a horrible whine), so the Eureka actually performs better on upholstery and carpet. But the Eureka's crevice tool relies only on suction, and you can notice the relative lack of power when you use it. But it is more powerful than some other models, and certainly more powerful than any cordless model.
- It is fairly loud, but all handheld vacuums are fairly loud.
On the whole, I like this thing. It works well, and could use just a bit more refinement. The only real problem I have with it is the fact that it emits dust. But again, that is a problem with most handheld vacuums. And with it, you actually feel like you are working with a civilized tool, not wrestling with a shrieking imp born of conflict and chaos, like that Super Shark. It is probably the only hand vac I would recommend to others.
