My first thoughts on the Eureka NEU182A PowerSpeed were that I probably wouldn’t be able to afford it. This thing looks amazing and could easily pass for one of the most luxurious appliances on the market. Which counts double when you see how many tools and accessories it comes with.
So I really couldn’t believe it when my sister (who was using hers at the time) told me it set her back less than $70. I placed an order for mine the same day, and it was delivered a couple of days later. Since then, I’ve never looked back – the Eureka NEU182A is the best vacuum I’ve owned by a million miles.
It’s got the power I need to deal with a pet-friendly family home, it’s unbelievably light for the punch it packs, and it’s got all the accessories I need to get into every corner.
It’s easy to use, it’s not particularly noisy, and I get the whole job done without having to empty the chamber. Long story short – I’m as impressed with the Eureka NEU182A today as I was when I first saw it.

Despite being extremely lightweight, the Eureka NEU182A PowerSpeed vacuum is exceptionally sturdy and durable. The powerful suction it delivers is top-notch, making an immediate and noticeable difference to carpets and hard floors of all shapes and sizes. It also has an extremely wide nozzle, which makes the whole job quicker to take care of.
As for accessories, my Eureka Power Speed dustbuster came complete with an extendable stretch hose for floor cleaning up high and into trickier places, a dusting brush, a crevice tool, and a brilliant upholstery tool for taking care of couches and the like.
We’ve put it through its paces dozens of times around the home and in the car – always happy with the results. As I mentioned, the dust chamber is bigger than most similar vacuum cleaners, so there’s no need to keep emptying it every few minutes and it is also easy to empty.
It’s also easy to keep the extra large dust cup clean, which is attached to a washable filter for maximum hygiene. Plus, it’s worth mentioning that the attachments and tools are all incredibly easy to clip on and remove at the touch of a button, None of the usual messing about or fiddly bits and pieces.
