Eureka Stylus Elite

Verdict

The Eureka Stylus Elite is a powerful, lightweight cordless stick vacuum with a self-emptying base that makes everyday cleaning fast and low-maintenance. It delivers excellent suction, long runtime on low, bright LED headlights, and versatile tools that work well on floors, furniture, and in the car. Shorter runtime on max power and a modest onboard dust cup are trade-offs, but overall it is an outstanding value for most households.
