The Eureka PowerSpeed is an 8-amp upright vacuum that offers a high weight-to-power ratio, weighing in at just 10 pounds while providing substantial lift for pet hair. The main body is constructed from polypropylene to keep it lightweight, while the hose connectors use ABS for added durability. One of its most helpful features for busy households is the "No-Tool" access to the brush roll, which allows for the quick removal of tangled hair without needing a screwdriver. The included Pet Turbo tool uses internal gearing to provide better agitation than standard air-driven tools, making it useful for stairs and pet beds.
Maintenance is simplified by a washable foam filter, which helps manage the cost of ownership over time. The brush roll features dual-stiff bristles that are effective on low-pile carpets, but users with very plush rugs should be aware of the high friction levels. The vacuum uses a standard 25-foot cord, which is adequate for most rooms but may require moving to different outlets in larger open-concept spaces. The 8-amp motor is designed for standard home use; if the unit shuts off during heavy use on thick carpet, it is often a safety feature to prevent overheating.
- Large capacity dust bin reduces the frequency of trips to the trash can.
- Multiple height adjustments allow for transitions between hard floors and rugs.
- On-board tool storage keeps attachments organized and within reach.
If you prefer a model with a specialized swivel head for navigating around tight corners, the Bissell CleanView Swivel may be a suitable choice. To discover more tools for managing pet-friendly homes, visit our pet hair vacuums category.
