Compare Eureka Airspeed Ultra-Lightweight Vacuum vs Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Upright Vacuum, NV752

Typically includes two basic tools (crevice and dusting brush). Useful for quick above-floor tasks, but the tool set is minimal versus pricier uprights.

Most reviews highlight a strong accessory bundle (crevice, upholstery tools, dusting variants, and often hard-floor and pet tools), plus the option of a caddy on some kits. Complaints focus on missing or downgraded accessories in some packages, limited included brushes, and frustration sourcing compatible add-ons.

Design feedback is generally positive, with some reviewers calling the finish modern and attractive. A few owners describe the look as dated or purely utilitarian, but aesthetics rarely impact overall satisfaction compared to performance factors.

A recurring complaint is brush-roll-driven kickback on hard floors (sand/rice thrown behind the vacuum), making hard surfaces a weak use case.

Several reviewers report good area-rug results (including thicker rug litter tests), with the main limitation being larger debris that can plow ahead of the head.

Area rug handling is frequently described as challenging on smaller or lighter rugs due to strong suction, with reports of bunching, stalling, or difficulty pulling backward. Heavier rugs tend to fare better, and using the high-pile/area-rug setting improves usability but does not eliminate the issue.

Setup is generally described as straightforward, with one reviewer warning that hose/tube positioning must be switched correctly when using the wand.

Assembly is widely described as fast and straightforward, with parts clicking into place cleanly. Unboxing-style reviews often highlight that setup can be done in minutes without special tools.

Several reviews describe protective shutoff behavior or clear warning indicators when the brush stops or a clog occurs, helping prevent belt damage or overheating. Users who encounter clogs often resolve them by clearing hair/string from the brush roll and obstructions from internal pathways.

Dustbin size is a positive highlight, including a lab-style mention of a large 1.7L bin, which reduces how often it needs emptying in light use.

The bagless dust cup is described as convenient, but capacity is debated: some call it large for longer sessions, while others say usable volume feels smaller than expected (especially in heavy pet homes). Many agree the shape helps collect a lot quickly, which can mean frequent emptying when tackling deep-clean jobs.

No summary yet.

Build quality sentiment is mixed: many describe solid plastics and secure connections (sometimes noting a metal wand), while others cite flimsy-feeling latches, hose cracking over time, or dust-cup component breakage. Overall impressions range from sturdy workhorse to cost-optimized in specific parts.

High-pile and shag performance is a relative bright spot for the price in at least one lab-style review, and some users report strong results on thicker rugs.

High-pile carpet performance is generally rated strong when using the high-pile/area-rug setting, and many reviewers highlight effective pet hair removal. Some also report the lack of height adjustment and strong suction can cause rug grabbing, carpet seam lift, or long-term wear on certain rugs.

Low-pile carpet results trend below average in lab-style testing and some demos show snowplowing of larger debris, though it can still remove embedded dirt with enough passes.

Low-pile carpet pickup is consistently strong, with many reviewers describing one-pass improvement and deep debris recovery compared to prior vacuums. The main drawback in low-pile settings is that strong suction can make backward pulls feel like a workout for some users.

On typical carpets, multiple reviewers report good pickup of smaller debris and routine dirt, though push effort and large-debris behavior can be drawbacks.

Medium-pile carpet performance is consistently strong in both subjective impressions and structured pickup tests, with many reviewers describing visibly revived carpets. Some note that the unit may require multiple passes for very heavy debris loads, but overall effectiveness remains a key selling point.

Clogging reports are mixed: several reviewers note it can power through messy tests and does not easily choke on typical carpet debris, but others report hair/dirt buildup in the floorhead and occasional clogs in pet tools. Users who maintain filters and clear hair from the brush roll report smoother ongoing performance.

Comparisons commonly position the NV752 as competitive with pricier Dyson uprights on carpet while offering more configuration flexibility. In head-to-head pet-hair testing, some competitors outperform it on anti-tangle and certain upholstery tool behavior, while the Shark often wins on filtration and hard-floor behavior versus kickback-prone designs.

Controls are consistently described as simple, including foot controls and basic release mechanisms for the handle/canister functions.

Controls on the handle and a three-surface selector are frequently praised as convenient and intuitive. The most common control-related complaints are the lack of fine-grained suction/height adjustment and, in a few cases, a power button that feels finicky or hard to press.

Powered Lift-Away is repeatedly cited as the core differentiator: it enables cleaning under beds and furniture while keeping the powered head active, and it improves stair cleaning compared to standard uprights. The main downside is that the detached pod can feel heavy to carry during extended above-floor sessions.

Cord length is described as decent to long for the category, supporting room-to-room cleaning without frequent outlet changes.

Cord length is commonly described as usable but not class-leading, with some citing 30 ft and others noting newer units closer to 25 ft. Many owners explicitly wish for an extra 2 to 5 ft to reduce outlet switching.

Cord wrap and hooks are mentioned as functional and straightforward, but not a standout feature versus uprights with rewind.

Cord management is generally manual wrap, and side routing can get in the way for some users. Multiple reviewers specifically wish for a retractable cord or better routing to reduce tangles during use.

The crevice tool and wand setup are repeatedly cited as effective for corners, baseboard gaps, vents, and furniture seams. Lighted wand configurations (when included) are viewed as especially helpful for seeing debris in tight crevices.

Swivel steering and cornering are frequently praised, especially on carpet, and many users describe a smooth glide. The most common handling negatives are top-heaviness, wrist/back strain for some users, and a tendency to tip when pulling on the hose during above-floor cleaning.

Ease of use varies: many like the simple operation and low weight, but multiple testers note it can be hard to push or reposition, especially without swivel or height adjustment.

Ease of use is generally rated high for standard upright floor cleaning due to swivel steering, strong pickup, and quick controls. Usability drops for some in lift-away and wand modes because of pod weight, tipping risk, and managing cord plus hose together.

Edge cleaning is frequently described as limited, with missed material near baseboards and corners due to the head design.

Edge and baseboard cleaning is generally rated positively, with several reviewers noting it can run tight to baseboards. A few mention side-to-side asymmetry where one side cleans edges more effectively than the other, sometimes requiring extra passes.

Emptying is usually described as easy via a bottom-release style mechanism that dumps debris with a button press.

Emptying is commonly described as quick and cleaner than many competitors, often via a bottom-drop mechanism and an additional top access point on some designs. While a few mention breakage or lid issues, the dominant theme is easy, low-mess dumping and less hair sticking inside.

Filtration impressions conflict: one lab-style test reports excellent particle containment even without HEPA, while multiple reviewers emphasize it is not a sealed system and can be weaker for fine-dust control than sealed uprights.

Filtration is consistently a standout: multiple test reviews emphasize sealed, HEPA-style filtration and strong containment, including smoke-test style demonstrations. Allergy-focused users frequently cite cleaner air and less dust blowback compared to alternatives.

Floorhead design is frequently described as simple and contributes to snowplowing and scatter, especially on hard floors and with larger debris.

The floorhead is widely viewed as strong on carpets and supported by helpful indicators and lighting in some reviews, but its low front lip and aggressive suction can create issues on hard floors and with large debris. A recurring complaint is the lack of true height adjustment, which can contribute to rug grabbing and, in some homes, wear on certain area rugs.

Carpet hair pickup ranges from strong in user demos (including deep carpet claims) to weak in lab testing on both low- and high-pile pet-hair scenarios.

Carpet hair pickup is one of the strongest consensus positives, with multiple reviews describing major hair recovery even after other vacuums were used. This is frequently highlighted by multi-pet households and deep-clean comparisons against older machines.

Hair pickup on hard floors varies widely. Some reviewers note it struggles to pull hair in with the main head on bare floors, while others report good results when using the dedicated hard-floor tool or adjusting settings appropriately.

Tangle resistance is inconsistent: one reviewer found the brush roll stayed clean, while others describe tangling and a brush roller that is frustrating to clean thoroughly.

Tangle resistance is inconsistent and highly hair-length dependent. Some reviewers describe acceptable real-world performance, while multiple others report long pet and human hair wrapping the brush roll and requiring scissors or manual cleaning, including a head-to-head test where it performed poorly on detangling.

Most reviews describe weak hard-floor fine-dust control due to scattering and kickback, although one long-term user reported good hardwood results with regular use.

Fine dust pickup on hard floors is often reported as good, with sand and powder-like debris generally handled well in tests. Some owners with grouted tile or tricky surfaces report needing multiple passes, indicating results can depend on floor texture and the chosen mode/tool.

Large debris on hard floors can act like a snowplow for some debris types, and multiple reviewers note scatter rather than clean intake on hard surfaces.

Large debris intake on hard floors is the most polarized performance area: some reviewers report no snowplowing and easy pickup of cereal and crumbs, while others (including a pro review) say it can push larger particles unless the dedicated hard-floor tool is used. Expect best results when using the correct attachment and surface setting.

LED lighting is one of the most consistently praised features, with reviewers highlighting bright lights on the floorhead and, in many configurations, on the wand/handle for attachment use. Lights are frequently credited with revealing dirt that would otherwise be missed.

Hose reach is described as adequate for countertop-level tasks in at least one review, but overall reach is considered limited compared to uprights with longer wands.

Hose length is a frequent complaint: multiple reviewers describe it as short and not very extendable, making high-reach cleaning harder without moving the base. The lift-away pod helps compensate but shifts the burden to carrying the pod during above-floor cleaning.

Maintenance includes regular filter cleaning (wash and fully dry) and potential brush-roll hair cleanup; one reviewer notes an extra filter is included, which helps downtime.

Routine maintenance is generally considered manageable, with washable filters and accessible components emphasized in multiple reviews. The biggest maintenance pain point is brush-roll hair removal, which can range from occasional to frequent depending on hair length and pet load.

Handling is commonly described as basic: no swivel steering and sometimes awkward turning, with some users also noting sticky push effort on carpet.

Noise is rarely discussed, but at least one long-term user describes it as quieter than other vacuums they have owned.

Noise impressions skew positive for an upright: several reviews call it quieter than some competing uprights and certain Dyson models. It is still commonly acknowledged as not truly quiet, especially under high-suction carpet modes.

Onboard tool storage is noted positively in multiple reviews, with the basic attachments parking on the vacuum for quick access.

Onboard storage is often described as limited, commonly holding only a couple of tools on the body. Several reviewers mention tools falling off or needing a separate bag/caddy for the remaining accessories.

Longevity reports are mixed: many owners claim multi-year service (often 5 to 10+ years) and repeat purchases, while others report earlier failures such as hose splitting, dust cup/lid breakage, or brush-motor issues. Overall durability seems highly dependent on usage intensity and hair load.

Packaging is usually described as adequate to good, especially when double-boxed, but there are notable complaints about missing parts in used or open-box purchases. When fully complete, kits often include bags or caddies that help keep accessories organized.

Pet usefulness is mixed: some households report noticeably better hair control on carpets, while lab-style testing shows weaker pet-hair pickup versus typical upright averages.

Most reviewers frame the NV752 as a strong pet-home upright thanks to deep carpet cleaning, a pet-focused tool set, and sealed filtration. The main drawbacks for pet owners are brush-roll hair wrap on long hair and mixed performance from some air-powered pet tools depending on the included version.

Strong value at deep-discount pricing (often cited well under $100), but several reviewers caution it is harder to justify if priced closer to midrange uprights due to hard-floor and handling limits.

Value is commonly rated high: many compare it favorably to more expensive Dysons, citing similar cleaning results at a lower price. Detractors argue that missing accessories, short hose/cord, and hair-wrap maintenance reduce the value proposition for their specific homes.

The self-propelled or drive-assist feel is widely mentioned as making carpet cleaning faster and easier. Some users love it, while others find it overly aggressive, describing the vacuum as pulling forward or being difficult to control in tight spaces.

Stair cleaning is frequently called out as easier than typical uprights because Lift-Away lets users bring suction and tools to the stairs without moving the full base. The main limitation is the weight of the pod during longer stair sessions.

Storage footprint is often described as reasonable for a full-size upright, but stability is inconsistent: several users call it top-heavy and prone to tipping when using the hose or lift-away in certain configurations. Some mitigate this by using the caddy or carrying the pod during above-floor cleaning.

Testing references modest suction with respectable airflow for a plug-in budget upright, translating to decent carpet cleaning but not class-leading power.

Across reviews and test-style videos, the NV752 is repeatedly described as very high suction with strong airflow (often measured in the low-to-mid 20 kPa range). A recurring theme is that suction can feel almost too strong on small rugs and some attachment use-cases.

Multiple reviews (including professional cleaners and heavy pet households) describe it as a capable workhorse for deep cleaning and high hair load. The main heavy-duty downsides are frequent bin emptying in extreme pet homes and brush-roll hair maintenance.

Support experiences vary widely. Some reviewers report helpful troubleshooting and reasonable parts discounts, while others describe warranty gaps (especially around brush-head components) and a frustrating parts/coverage process.

Tool changes are simple once you understand the hose routing, but at least one reviewer notes it is easy to misuse if you forget to re-seat the tube for wand mode.

Tool swaps and mode changes are generally described as button-driven and quick, with the wand and pod detaching cleanly. A minority of users find handling awkward when they must carry the pod while using attachments, which can reduce the perceived simplicity.

Under-furniture reach is generally limited; multiple reviewers say it is not great under beds, though one demo shows a mechanism intended to help in tighter spots.

Under-furniture pickup is repeatedly praised as a core benefit of the Powered Lift-Away design, enabling flatter reach under beds and many couches without losing powered-head performance. A few users still report limitations under very low-clearance furniture, but overall sentiment is strongly positive.

Above-floor and upholstery cleaning is limited by the basic tool design; one lab-style review found the brush tool less effective and requiring multiple passes.

Above-floor cleaning is often praised when using the wand and upholstery tools, especially for couches, pet beds, and car interiors. Performance varies by included pet tool version: motorized tools are usually applauded, while air-powered tools sometimes stall or collect hair on their rollers.

Versatility is moderate: it can handle basic above-floor tasks with the included tools, but lacks premium features that make multi-surface and whole-home cleaning easier.

Versatility is a major strength: reviews repeatedly emphasize moving between upright cleaning, lift-away pod use, and wand/attachment work for stairs, upholstery, ceilings, and under-furniture cleaning. The tradeoff is that full versatility sometimes requires carrying the pod and managing cord and hose together.

Repeatedly described as genuinely lightweight (roughly 7.7–8.4 lb), which helps for quick cleanups and carrying room to room.

Most reviews place weight around 15 to 16 lb and call it heavy or top-heavy, particularly for users with back or wrist sensitivity. Many also note the self-propelled feel helps offset pushing effort during carpet cleaning.
