Compare Eureka Airspeed Ultra-Lightweight Vacuum vs Eureka PowerSpeed Upright Vacuum Cleaner

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

Reviews commonly mention multiple included tools (often including crevice, upholstery/dusting tools, and in some versions a pet/turbo brush), plus convenient onboard storage.

No summary yet.

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.

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

Assembly is consistently described as quick and simple, with basic parts (handle, hose/cord hooks) snapping in and the unit ready in about a minute in some tests.

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 2.6 L bagless bin is repeatedly highlighted as large and easy to empty via a bottom-release design, reducing how often you have to stop mid-clean.

Build quality is commonly described as more plastic and basic (not premium), but generally acceptable for the price point.

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.

Performance on high-pile/shag is a common weak spot: reviewers cite reduced deep pickup and harder pushing, often requiring more passes and careful height selection.

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.

On low-pile carpet it’s described as solid and competitive for the price, with multiple reviews noting good debris collection once height is set correctly.

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

No summary yet.

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

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

Cord length is repeatedly praised as “long enough” for many rooms and general home use, though some users still need outlet changes in larger layouts.

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

Cord hooks/wrap and storage are commonly mentioned as straightforward and practical for quick winding and organization.

No summary yet.

Maneuverability is limited by the non-swivel floorhead; users often describe it as light but less agile around furniture than swiveling competitors.

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 mixed: the machine is light and simple with foot controls, but frequent notes mention no swivel head and bending down for manual height adjustments.

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

Edge/baseboard reach is repeatedly described as limited, often leaving a small strip near walls that may require a tool pass.

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

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 described as decent-to-strong for the budget class in testing, but multiple reviews emphasize the lack of true HEPA and/or a fully sealed allergen system.

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

Floorhead design is frequently described as basic and non-swiveling, with behavior that can plow or scatter debris on hard floors depending on debris type and pass angle.

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.

Hair pickup on carpets is generally described as good for pet hair, with performance often improving with extra passes.

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.

Long hair tangling is a recurring theme: several reviews report wrap on the brush roll, sometimes requiring cutting/clearing, especially because the roller is often described as non-removable.

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 debris on hard floors can be frustrating in some tests because the brush roll can scatter/spray particles, leading to extra cleanup passes.

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.

Larger debris on hard floors is helped by having height adjustment, but scatter can still occur depending on the debris type and technique.

Some versions are noted to include headlights, improving visibility during cleaning, but this appears variant-dependent rather than universal.

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 feedback is mixed; some mention decent above-floor reach (sometimes cited as ~7 ft in certain versions) while others describe the hose as short for the category.

No summary yet.

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.

Maintenance is mostly routine (washable filters, bin emptying), but brush-roll hair wrap and occasional odor/filter cleaning are common upkeep points.

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 is repeatedly noted as on the louder side for the class, especially at higher settings, though some owners describe it as not excessively loud for the price.

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

Onboard tool storage is frequently called out as convenient, keeping common attachments accessible without hunting for them.

Longer-term ownership feedback includes reports of holding up well over a year-plus of regular family/pet use in at least one update-style review, though it remains an entry-level design.

Overall sentiment trends positive for budget, carpet-first needs: praised for suction, bin size, and simplicity, with the most common complaints being hard-floor scatter, agility limits, and hair wrap maintenance.

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.

Pet-focused value is a consistent theme: reviewers highlight strong pet hair pickup for the price and versions that include a pet/turbo tool for upholstery and stairs.

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 consistently rated high: many reviews frame it as one of the better budget uprights if you prioritize carpet and can accept tradeoffs on hard floors and premium filtration.

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

Reviewers frequently describe strong suction/airflow for a budget upright, with test-style content showing respectable airflow and lift relative to similarly priced competitors.

Reliability signals are generally positive in owner updates (no issues reported over extended use in at least one case), but support experiences are not deeply covered across the set.

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 changes are generally described as simple: pop off the hose/handle and attach tools directly or via the handle extension for extra reach.

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.

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 and upholstery cleaning is considered helpful with included tools, especially for quick pickups, though some reviews note it’s not as thorough as a mini motorized brush unless you use a turbo tool.

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.

No summary yet.

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

Multiple sources call it lightweight for an upright (often around 10–12 lb depending on variant), making it easier to carry and use for quick cleanups.
