eureka WhirlWind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight Vac for Carpets and Hard Floors, Blue

I have been looking for about a year for another vacuum cleaner. I have a very nice Hoover Windtunnel upright and it does a great job, but I bought it when I had carpeting throughout the house. Since hardwood floors arrived and I only have one bedroom with carpet (keeps the noise down) it is not as enjoyable to vacuum the entire house with a larger and heavier vacuum. So my search finally decided on the Eureka NEN110A Whirlwind Bagless Canister Vacuum Cleaner and I am glad I did. It arrived yesterday after ordering it only Friday, thanks Amazon. Needless to say, I had to take it for a spin. Here is what I can report for the newly arrived. 1. It is pretty. Yes, pretty; I dont like ugly appliances. All the bells and whistles are great, but if the unit is ugly, then I dont want it. You know what I am talking about, you seen other vacuum cleaners that look like they jumped out of a 1950 sci-fi movie. Hello, the commercial vacuum that is short, round and has eyes painted on it, or the Shark Apex or the Shark DuoClean Powered Lift Away Speed Vacuum that looks like a tower that could easily fall over, or almost all Oreck. Oh yes, I know this may step on a toe or toe, but sometimes the truth is ugly and hey, this is my review. But this unit is good looking, racey, futuristic even, and I love the color blue they made it in. 2. Power - plenty of suction power. As a matter of fact I had to adjust back the vacuum power using the handy built in suction adjustment on the hand. No problem with suction power. 3. Ease of use - this is were it really shines. It is around 8 pounds so it is quick and easy to maneuver all over the house. Easy to get down under furniture as the head swivels around, turning and twisting your floors clean. The dust cup is small, but so is the vacuum cleaner, but it is easy to pop out and dump, snap closed and your ready to go. I hate when people whine about having to empty the canister so often, seriously, why do you want to leave all that dirt in the vacuum for days. It even easily rolls over its own power cord. My Kenmore canister that weighed over 20 pounds couldnt even roll over its own cord, it would get stuck and I would have to lift it. 4. The built into the wand brush and crevice tool worked really well also. The wand, the handles plug securely into each other and the vacuum with a nice little snap. Easy to undo also. The auto-rewind on the unit is great too, a nice feature at this price point. The power cord is 16 feet, but if it was possible to have another five feet would be awesome, but I am not complaining, I just unplug and move to another area and plug into a different outlet that is closer to the work area, after all our houses come with multiple outlets. 5. Lifespan, this is always the unknown, but the unit has a one year manufacturer warranty and I purchased 3 more years under the Assurance plan. So I feel I am covered. Time will tell and Ill update these comments if something goes wrong and also if the unit keeps working just fine.

Updated Review: After struggling with this thing to vacuum my cellar two or three times, I replaced the broken hose on my Hoover and went back to using that on my cellar floor. This vacuum is just too much work for me to use, maintain, and store. Ive retired it to a corner, where it will sit until I can find another home for it. Original review: I bought this to replace my Hoover commercial portapower hand vacuum, the plastic stretch hose on which broke in two at the handle after three years of intermittent use. So, I decided to try something different. The hose on this does not stretch, a plus for me. Ive only used it once so far to vacuum my hardwoods, area rugs, and cement cellar floor. Will take some getting used to. The suction on this thing is phenomenal, due in part to the design of the floor attachment, which is flat and hugs the floor. I read the instructions and experimented with all the settings and combinations on both hardwoods and flat pile area rugs. It works well on my hardwoods using the carpet settings. The hardwood setting hugs the floor too tightly, making it difficult to move. The carpet setting works on no pile area rugs only if you pull the wand towards you. If you try to push it forward, it gets hung up on the carpet, regardless of how you use the settings. It does not work at all on my pile carpets. The hose is a bit cumbersome because its pretty stiff, but Im tall and I can work with it. So, I finished vacuuming and even though the dirt cup was only half full, I decided to empty and wash it. Unfortunately, the dirt cup does not separate from the foam filter housing (you can remove the foam filter, but not the housing), so to wash either one they both get wet. And, when I checked the foam filter, it was filthy and required washing as well. Very cumbersome to work with. Currently, the entire housing and filter are laying in front of my baseboard heater trying to dry. I got this to use on my cement cellar floors, and it appears to be fine for that using the carpet settings. Picks up cat litter, dust, and small debrs. There is a small brush for upholstery, but no decent crevice tool, which I need to clean my dryer screen housing and vents. I do like the retractable cord and that the wand attaches to the machine for storage. I also like that it has wheels and I can easily pull the vacuum behind me. Ill use it for a bit and see if I can work with its shortcomings. I like to keep my vacuum dirt cup clean with each using. Not sure how well that will go because cleaning and drying is a time eater and I have no sink in my basement. Just not a good fit for me.

This little vacuum works great for tile floors (& for the rugs I have in my kitchen). Note: It does NOT work well for carpet. At first, that was a disappointment! But then, I realized how much I appreciate this vacuum for the things it CAN do! It is so lightweight, portable, convenient to carry to different parts of the house. It is easier for me to sweep the tile floors in our house using this vacuum than it is using a broom. Works fabulous for that! The canister is SO easy to pop in and out to empty when full. Love the retractable power cord! Great feature!

I have lots of birds and this works well for Birs seeds. Just don’t like the way to store it but overall ok

Perfect little vacuum for my son. He has a 1,400 sq ft place w/minimum carpeting; at least 98% LVP. This vacuum is perfect for him. Light, easy to use and maneuver with ease, not at all loud like some. Love the washable filter and ease of emptying collection canister! Great suction as well, more then I thought it would have. Has a place on the back to store the detachable wand. Genius how the handle has the little brush built in to vacuum upholstery and small jobs, slide it back up to attach the wand again. No parts to lose. Auto retract cord works great. Love how it can be pulled around on wheels or light weight enough to be picked up as you go along. Rake setting for rugs works well. No power brushes on head, but perfect for his needs. Great value! Speedy delivery.

great cost benefit.

Where has this gem been all m life? At 82 years old, this vacuum does the job more easily and efficiently than any vacuum Ive ever owned.. PROS: Lightweight, powerful, with great suction. Tools attached to hose and always handy. Nice long 16 cord with automatic rewind. Wheels make is super easy to pull around. No beater bar to disentangle hair, etc. No bags or filters to purchase and mess with. Easy, no fuss emptying of dust cup. Compact and easy to store. Fairly priced. And its cute CONS: Havent found any

I only have tile and wood floors and it works great.

I love this little vacuum. I did not expect it to be as powerful as it is considering the price. But the suction is very strong, and its light-weight and easy to use. I definitely would recommend it.

I wanted to love this it’s a great vacuum ect. - the hose is way to short - the power cord is even shorter - self retractable cord.. kinda, it doesn’t have a lot of power to retract the cord has to be perfectly strait to wind in and it only works for about half the length of the total cord. Finally you have to pump and push the cord the remainder of the way. Please note despite all that , I’m keeping it because of the price and the fact that it glides better then the bagged one ,. Oh also has a metal wand instead of the cheep plastic one that always broke!
