The Endura Lite is a corded upright designed for maximum portability, weighing approximately 9 pounds. The chassis utilizes high-impact polystyrene for the dust cup and ABS for the main housing. This model is optimized for small apartments and multi-story homes where a heavy vacuum is impractical. It features an 8-amp motor that provides significant suction for its size, particularly on hard floors and low-pile area rugs.
Specifications indicate a 20-foot power cord and a pleated "Endura" filter. Because the filter has a smaller surface area, it can restrict airflow quickly if not tapped out or washed frequently. To protect the motor from heat, it is recommended to clean the filter every two or three uses. The unit uses a flat rubber drive belt that requires periodic inspection to ensure it hasn't become stretched or worn from hair wrap.
- The lightweight design makes it easy to carry for cleaning stairs or high-reach areas.
- A quick-release wand is included for transitioning to detail cleaning with the included crevice tool.
- The compact footprint is ideal for homes with limited storage space in closets or utility rooms.
Due to its lightweight construction, the unit can feel less stable on thick carpets, and the handle should be used with steady pressure to avoid stress on the joints. For users who need a more heavy-duty machine with a wider cleaning path, the Eureka PowerSpeed offers a larger chassis and more power.
Whether you need a compact or full-sized unit, the upright and canister vacuums category has options to fit every living situation.
