Eureka AirSpeed ONE Pet, Bagless Upright Vacuum AS2030A



Pros and Cons
This little vac might be just what you need. Then again, it has its drawbacks.

PROS:
Extremely lightweight and compact. If you are in a motor home and every inch and ounce of savings is important, this could be just wonderful for you.

World's longest vacuum cord. I did the whole house only moving the plug once.

Picks up EVERYTHING. Yes calling it the ONE PET, as in dog/cat hair, seems to be just what this was designed to retrieve. Did a great job on carpet with dog hair. Not so great on bare floors but see "cons."

Easy to assemble/breakdown. Attachments are light and work well. The attachments and hose are much better quality plastic than the handle of the machine.

Suction is IMMENSE.

Beater bar works like it was made by a jet engine manufacturer.

Filtration system consists of a very dense circle of foam which can be rinsed out, dried, and reused.

CONS:
Extremely lightweight and cheapo...

You'll Love It!
At this price point it is hard to understand what a great product. Cyclone technology has been around for awhile and improvements have been made. We have another brand cyclonic vacuum which cost many times the price of this. The AirSpeed shines compared to our older unit. For example to use the attachments you need not remove the hose and insert it in a separate opening, simply turn a knob which directs the suction to the hose. The cord is longer, it is about thirty feet long and not nearly as stiff and unwieldy. It is light enough to easily carry around, which is important to us as we are late senior citizens. The noise level competes very well. The cleaning path is ample around thirteen inches or so. It comes with a hand held power brush, which Eureka calls the "Pet Paw" which is great on upholstered furniture....didn't get that on our older vacuum---and we have used it. Very satisfied. The filters are washable and easy to remove and clean. I like the fact that it is...

Just Like Life, Vacuums Require Balance Too.
I've owned many a vacuum over my years on this earth, and my family has dubbed me "The Vacuum Killer", because it means a life of hard, unrelenting labor under my ownership. So, when I give a vacuum a positive review (4 stars or more), I REALLY like it. With each new relationship, I set aside my past negative experiences and give each machine a chance to prove themselves based on its own merits. My hope is always that the good outweighs the bad and that the dog hair will not become tightly wound around the brush bar.

So, let's begin, shall we?

The Good:

*Comes with quick set-up guide which makes for an easy assembly of the four main pieces.

*Long power cord.

*No dog hair tightly wound around brush bar after use.

*Very powerful suction.

The Bad:

*Very powerful suction.

*Lightweight structure doesn't balance the powerful suction.

*Short vacuum hose.

*Extension wand...
