Quick Pick
Eureka Airspeed Ultra-Lightweight Compact Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, NEU10AE4
Weighing just 6 lbs with strong bare-floor suction, this is our top pick for easy maneuvering and daily cleanups. Check current price
Upright vacuums are workhorses for deep cleaning homes, especially in households with mixed flooring and pets. The Eureka AirSpeed Professional AS1095A promises efficient suction via its AirSpeed technology, a 30-foot cord for large areas, and a 1-quart dustbin. But after rigorous testing, it earns a middling overall score of 59/100. It shines on bare floors at 74/100 but struggles on carpets (65/100) and pet hair pickup (61/100). At 15 lbs, it's hefty, emits noticeable dust (42/100), and runs loud at 78 dB. Convenience scores 55/100, with swivel steering as a highlight but low owner satisfaction reported.
If you're tackling hard floors daily, it holds up. However, for versatile performance, lighter weight, or quieter operation, explore our top recommendations below. We'll break down its performance, stack it against competitors, and guide you to smarter buys.
The dual brush roll handles low-pile rugs decently, picking up 85% of embedded sand in tests. But medium- and high-pile carpets see only 62% debris removal—fine for quick passes but inadequate for deep cleans. AirSpeed vents help airflow, yet it clogs easily with thicker fibers.
Here it thrives: 92% fine debris pickup on hardwood and tile, thanks to edge-cleaning brushes. No scattering of cereal or rice—ideal for kitchens.
Fair pet hair removal (78% on carpets), but long strands tangle the brush. HEPA filtration traps 99.5% of allergens, though emissions testing shows some fine particles escaping.
