Verdict

The Eureka PowerSpeed NEU280 is a corded, bagless upright vacuum cleaner operating on a 120V, 8-amp motor with an upgraded multi-cyclonic suction system and a 12.6-inch wide cleaning path. Weighing just 11.5 pounds, it features five manual height adjustment settings for multi-surface cleaning, a 1.9-liter easy-empty dust cup, a 7-foot stretch hose with on-board tool storage, and a washable foam filter. Main pros include its highly affordable price point, lightweight and easy-to-maneuver body, and impressive suction power that extracts embedded dirt well across both hardwood and carpeted floors. However, key cons include the lack of a true HEPA filtration system, a noisy 88-decibel operation, a relatively short attachment hose, and a rigid, non-swiveling nozzle design.
