Eureka PowerSpeed NEU181D review

The PowerSpeed NEU181D is the cheapest upright here at $99.99 and the one with the biggest bin. Eureka lists a 2.6 L bagless dust cup, a 12.6 in cleaning path, a 960 W motor and five height settings to move between bare floors and deep carpet. At 10 lbs it is light for an upright, and the pet turbo brush, crevice tool, dusting brush and upholstery tool all store on the body. The 7 ft hose handles stairs and edges. The limits are clear in Eureka's own specs: filtration is foam rather than HEPA, the listed noise level is 88 dB, and Eureka recommends cleaning the roller brush and belt every 2 weeks to avoid clogging. For a rental, a dorm or a basement, those are acceptable trade-offs at this price. For allergy sufferers, the sealed HEPA Shark Navigator costs $50 more. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cleaning tests.
