Eureka NEU185 PowerSpeed Upright Vacuum

Meet the Eureka NEU185 PowerSpeed—a no-nonsense upright vacuum built for apartments and smaller homes where corded reliability beats cordless convenience. The dynamic motor pairs with an active brush roll to tackle stubborn debris, while the extra-wide 12.6-inch nozzle covers more ground per pass. At 10 pounds, it's lighter than most uprights but still delivers the deep-cleaning power that corded models are known for. Versatility defines this vacuum's approach to different surfaces. Five height adjustments let it transition smoothly from low-pile rugs to plush carpets to bare floors, while protective wheels prevent scratches on hardwood. The 2.6L dust cup holds significantly more debris than typical cordless bins, meaning fewer interruptions during whole-home cleaning sessions. When you need to reach beyond floor level, the quick-release handle connects to a stretch hose for stairs, upholstery, and ceiling fans. This model fits budget-conscious households, renters, and anyone prioritizing consistent suction over portability. The corded design means unlimited runtime—no battery anxiety or charging delays. Trade-offs include the obvious: you're tethered to outlets, and storage requires more space than stick vacuums. For traditional cleaning routines where you tackle one floor at a time, the PowerSpeed delivers reliable performance at a price point that won't break the bank.
