Verdict

The Eureka NEC520 is a 2-in-1 cordless stick vacuum cleaner powered by a 200W brushless DC motor that delivers up to 20,300Pa of suction power. Key specifications and advantages include an anti-tangle floorhead to prevent hair clogs, built-in LED headlights for visibility under furniture, a 5-stage HEPA filtration system, a 0.5-litre bagless dustbin, and a removable 7x2000mAh battery that provides a maximum runtime of up to 50 minutes on its lowest setting. It seamlessly converts into a lightweight handheld unit and operates at a noise level of 82dB. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively long battery charging time of 4 to 6 hours and a significantly reduced battery runtime of approximately 15 minutes when running continuously on high-power mode.
