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

This little vacuum is just incredible. It performs at the quality of a 500+ dollar vaccum. It has great features like retractable cord, and a mount for the brush head. Easy to to use, simple, powerful and just a dream. Its pretty much an improved mighty might vac. And both I say are designed to have one of the strongest suction capabilities I have ever witnessed. Its up there with the Miele vacs and this bad boy goes for under 100 bucks. It almost feels illegal! This is also coming from a full-time house keeper. This vacuum even feels more powerful then a shop vac. A SHOP VAC!

My vacuum that’s supposed to be multi-surface just blew stuff around on the hardwood floor but did fine in carpet or area rugs. My new house is all wood floors, but I also have rugs everywhere. I vacuumed two rooms with the Eueka and got an inch of dust and dirt and whatnot in the canister. I cannot wait to vacuum the rest of my house!!! I’ll take pictures and update soon.

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.

I very rarely write reviews, but I felt obligated to do so today after using the Eureka WhirlWind that was delivered today from Amazon. Yesterday when ordering this machine after my 3-year old Bissell Zing finally bit the dust with the smell of burning plastic and loss of almost all suction, I was looking for a review like THIS ONE to let me know if I should buy the same Bissell Zing again (the devil you know) or try this Eureka WhirlWind out (the devil you don’t). For those looking for a fast answer, I will tell you right now, the Eureka WhirlWind won by a mile. This is a far superior machine and comparatively priced. For those who are looking for the reasons I feel this way I have quite a bit to write. At the beginning of the pandemic, 3 years ago, I was forced to downsize my living space significantly. I moved from a very large multiple level place to a small apartment of 500 square feet. Like everyone else during the beginning of the pandemic I was forced to buy pretty much everything online. When I moved into my new place I ordered 4 area rugs from Amazon and chose high pile shag rugs (all are in my photos) as well as a no pile indoor/outdoor rug for the bathroom. My old upright vacuum cleaner from the old place would have handled these rugs wonderfully, but it was too huge to store anywhere in my new place, so I had to give it away. What I needed was a small vacuum cleaner that could be broken apart in sections and stored under the kitchen sink. I found the Bissell Zing on Amazon and ordered it immediately. When it arrived it seemed to fit the bill. It was the right size and easy to store. But right from the first use on my high pile shag rugs and it was a struggle. The Zing was very limited- did not move easily along the shag rugs and really seemed to do a poor job. Vacuuming was HARD and it was not fun- it was like an aerobic workout and the rugs never seemed to be fully free of my cat’s hair and my long hair. Still it was all I had and I just lived with it. Also with the Zing, which is bagless, like the Eureka WhirlWind, the filter was a paper honeycomb-like thing, which I hated right away. It was not easy to clean at all. I truly hated cleaning that filter! So ok, that’s what I was dealing with and I vacuumed about once a week, hating the process. After less than a year the extension wand sections, which were plastic, began to crack. It may have been all of the pressure I was forced to use to vacuum the shag rugs. Maybe if I had just low pile rugs or floors that might not have happened. But it did. It made vacuuming ever HARDER. Oh, what a chore. I got out my friendly duct tape, bandaged the plastic and resumed and went on this way for another 2 years until yesterday when I plugged in the Zing and started vacuuming and heard an unhappy sound from the motor and smelled burning plastic. Then I lost almost all suction. It had been used approximately 150 times on the rugs and floors shown in my photos. I threw it in the trash. Since my main concern was being able to store it under my kitchen sink, I could find only 2 options under $100 here on Amazon- another Zing or the Eureka Whirlwind. I read all reviews for both. I knew the Zing quite well and knew it’s limitations and was scared to get stuck with something worse (god forbid!) but I went with the Eureka WhirlWind instead. Mind you, there are a million better vacuums out there & more money will get a better machine, but the Eureka Whirlwind is much better then the Zing for MANY reasons. First of all, it was simple & brainless to put together. I think the Zing was simple as well. But as soon as I used it today it was OBVIOUS to me how much stronger the suction was and I did not have to struggle in the same was as I did with the Zing to get it across my high pile rugs. It picked up MUCH more and I honestly think my rugs got the best vacuum they have ever experienced. They are cleaner with the WhirlWind and it was EASIER to vacuum with the Whirlwind. Other features that I found make the WhirlWind better: The extension wand is METAL with the WhirlWind, not plastic, like the Zing. So even if I had to apply the same kind of pressure, the wand is stronger and will not crack. Also, the cord is 2 feet longer than the Zing, meaning I only have to plug it in to one outlet to do my whole place. But another thing I find incredible is NO MORE honeycomb paper filter! Thank goodness! The filter on this Whirlwind is FLAT and appears so much easier to wash. Hallelujah. My vacuuming experience just now with the Whirlwind took 1/2 of the time than it took with the Zing and came out cleaner and it took less physical effort from me. So that is something you should know. This is an EXCELLENT low priced, basic, small vacuum. I will do my best to update this review only if something goes wrong and I end up hating the WhirlWind,, but so far I am thankful I did not get another Zing.

My house has tile floors throughout and no stairs. This vacuum works great. Its easy to empty with no filters or bags to worry about. Its also easy to store. Thumbs up.

Im a happy camper. This vacuum has the sucking power of my first Eureka (late 1970s) and I love it. It isnt big, the cord isnt long enough, and attachments dont exist but it cleans so very well. On hard floors. This same fantastic sucking power makes it hard to use on wall-to-wall carpet, the picture of area rugs is a clue. If you have shag rugs (really?) lots of carpeted rooms and few hardwood rooms, this isnt your dream vacuum cleaner. Just being able to get the Cheerios off the dining room floor and small pebbles from our entryways makes it a winner for me!

Great, not too loud, does a good job! Only down is the vent part on the handle should be more hard to move. I keep hitting it with my hand, and cord could be longer

I have been using this vacuum cleaner for nearly a year now, and overall, I have mixed feelings about its performance. While it boasts some excellent features, I have encountered consistent issues with its suction power that prevent me from giving it a higher rating. The he main drawback lies in the suction power, which has been underwhelming from the beginning. Despite following all the maintenance instructions and regularly cleaning the filters, I find that the vacuum struggles to pick up debris efficiently, especially larger particles like pet hair or crumbs. It often requires multiple passes over the same area to achieve satisfactory results, which can be time-consuming and frustrating. I have also noticed a decline in suction strength over time. While the vacuum initially performed adequately, its effectiveness seems to have diminished gradually. This issue persists even after checking for clogs and ensuring that all components are properly assembled. Its disappointing to have to deal with subpar suction, as this is one of the most crucial aspects of any vacuum cleaner.

Took me a year to buy this again after 10 years of the old one. NOTE: they made changes to the hose size so your old attachments wont fit! I had just bought additional attachments for drapery fabric etc and wont work on this new sweetheart Vac. Great suction good enough quality few changes from there 10 year old model but still for the price I recommend it to anyone just does a great job good price and if you take care of it they last a long time.

This vacuum was very inexpensive, and of average overall quality. It has some convenient features like the telescoping metal handle, bagless dirt reservoir and washable filters. This model also comes with an extra filter. The foot operated controls for power, cord release and carpet/hard floors are convenient. Suction is strong and provides good cleaning power. The downside is that the plastic components seem a little flimsy. The clip that is intended to hold the cleaning wand upright when not in use could be sturdier and the telescoping metal wand flexes and moves some during use. Overall, not a bad canister vac for the money for light residential use. It’s no Meile, buts it’s also a fifth of the cost.
