Eureka WhirlWind Bagless Canister 2.5L Vacuum Cleaner, Lightweight Vac for Carpets and Hard Floors, NEN110A, Blue

I have had this vacuum a couple of months now and I absolutely love it. I have hard floors with the exception of a few area rugs. It works great on both. The suction is amazing and the filter doesn't get clogged very quickly but when it does it is so easy to clean it. It is super light and easy to manuver.

Buying a vacuum (or carpet cleaner) on Black Friday has kind of become my annual tradition - every year I tell myself this is the last one, and then another sale rolls around. In 2025, I decided it was time to finally replace the cordless vacuums I’ve been putting up with for the past couple of years. Between the battery never lasting and the underwhelming suction, I was more than ready for an upgrade. When I saw the Eureka WhirlWind Bagless Canister Vacuum on sale for $57.99, I jumped on it, and even added the 3-year protection plan for peace of mind. Hopefully this one will stick around for a while! 💗 This vacuum is fantastic, here's what I love about it so far: 🌀 Suction power The suction power is soooooo much better than my cordless vacuums (which are now leaving my home ASAP!). This vacuum doesn't have a beater brush but I only have carpet in a few small areas so I'll continue using my upright for those. The throw rugs, however, are where this shines - it doesn't try to eat them like my upright does. The suction is strong enough that I've learned to vacuum by standing on the rug and pushing outward from the center. Bonus: no beater brush means the side fringes aren't getting caught! 😸 Also, I have cats... and cat litter boxes... this vacuum does a fantastic job of sucking up any misplaced litter, as well as stray cat hair. 🗑️ Generous sized dirt canister My cordless vacuums held maybe a cup of dust, which I had to empty constantly (especially living in a dusty rural area). The Eureka's canister holds at least two cups, and the first time I used it I accidentally went past the fill line, and it still worked great. The whole dust assembly comes apart (dust cup, dust separator, filter, lid) making it easy to clean each component. I do a full clean quarterly and let everything dry on the porch for a few days (although not in full sun during the summer!) just to be safe . 🎚️ Adjust the suction power There's a handy slider on the handle so I can reduce suction while vacuuming the throw rugs. It's still powerful, but this feature makes delicate areas easier to clean. 🔁 Automatic cord rewinder No wrapping cords by hand! Just step on the button and the cord retracts smoothly. It pulls out easily too and stays in place while in use. 🧺 Quick dust release All you have to do is press the release button over a trash can and the dirt falls out. I did notice that the lid catches a bit of dirt but I just tipped it slightly to drop it out. 🧼 Washable filter The filter is located at the top of the dust assembly and consists of a dense black sponge and a white layer, held together by plastic T-tag fasteners. I shake the filter each time I empty the dust cup and live in a dusty rural area so I have to change the filter every 2-3 vacuuming sessions. Filters for this model run from $3 to $6 each (depending on the brand) so I wash them instead of replace with a brand new one. I'll be removing T-tag fasteners from the black sponge and the white layer so that I can more easily wash the two. I typically use dishwashing liquid and hot water, which ends up with brown thick suds, then I rinse and squeeze until the water coming out is clear. I then soak the filter for 5-10 minutes in a 3% hydrogen peroxide to disinfect, rinse and then let it air dry for several days. I always keep 2-3 spare filters on hand so I can swap in a dry one and keep going. Then every 2-3 years I replace the set of filters with brand new ones. 🔌 16 foot long cord This is a good length, but I do need to plug in at different places even in my home which is on the small side at 50' x 20'. 📏Telescoping metal wand I love that the wand is metal, and adjusts so smoothly with a simple click. No wrestling with stiff buttons or stuck tubes like with other vacuums I've had. 🔒 Secure snap-fit I didn't know this was actually a feature when I was exploring this vacuum cleaner, but it is very noticeable how the parts snap together and come apart easily. No fighting with stuck pieces or awkward twisting. It makes cleaning and reassembling so much faster. 📢 Noise level This vacuum is moderately loud, which is pretty much what I expected for a vacuum with strong suction. It’s definitely not whisper-quiet, but it’s not so noisy that it feels overwhelming either. I can still hear what's going on around me, but I probably wouldn’t use it during a phone call or if someone was napping in the next room. The sound is more of a steady hum than a high-pitched whine, which makes it easier to tolerate during longer cleaning sessions. 🧹Built-in Dusting Brush One of my favorite little surprises was the integrated blue dusting brush that slides down into place right on the wand. It’s super convenient for cleaning baseboards, windowsills, or shelves without having to go hunt for an attachment. If I don’t need it, I just slide it back up and out of the way. It clicks into place securely and doesn't fall down during use. It's a small detail, but it adds to how thoughtfully designed this vacuum is. Overall, I'm really impressed. This vacuum cleaner is powerful, lightweight, and solves a lot of the little annoyances I've had with past vacuums. I didn't expect to love it this much, but here we are!

For the price, it's hard to beat. It's not the greatest vacuum in the world, but it could be in the running for best performance by price point. You have to do some tweaks on the suction settings between the wand and the floor nozzle to get it right, but once you do it works pretty good. It's lightweight and it was sucking up crap I didn't even know was hiding in my carpet. Read the instructions: I was about to come here and blast this thing before I read the instructions and realized it was an operator error. Docking a point for capacity. It doesn't hold much, so if you have a pet like me (black lab) you'll be emptying it a lot unless you vacuum frequently. All said, you can fill it to the brim and it'll still run, which is worth mentioning. Also, it doesn't like staying on its wheels. It seems to sacrifice stability for being lightweight and easy to move; not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you want. Durability-wise: you won't be passing this down to your grandkids. If you need something that simply works, this is it.

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.

5X and more. This is the best little vacuum I have ever owned. It has great suction power, is small. Great for cars, our camper, great on hardwood or vinyl floors. Would highly recommended this and have to all my family and friends.

I am comparing this with a Kenmore canister vacuum that had since April 2003. I disliked it because it was heavy and bulky, and when the carpet attachment stopped working I decided on this one. This will definitely not be my vacuum for 22 more years. Pros: The suction is great. It picks up everything. The floor brush portion of the vacuum swivels nicely and lies flatter than the brush on the Kenmore. Neither fit under some of my furniture, so equally annoying. Not any louder than Kenmore, picks up cat fur and hair well. One reviewer said there were no replacements for the filter (which I found odd that they want you to wash after every use) on Amazon. I didn't try to order them, so maybe they are not actually available. Another odd thing -- there is no registration for Eureka online if you buy it in US. You have to call and they will register it over the phone. Online is "coming soon" they told me. Cons: I have a small, 1100 Sq ft. condo with tile and hardwood floors, some have throw carpets, so I still needed something for carpets. There are 2 of us and 1 cat. The cord on Eureka is 14' compared with Kenmore's 21'. I have to change outlets several times more than I used to. I don't find the Eureka to be lighter and it still gets caught on corners and furniture. I didn't find the dust brush to be too stiff as one reviewer thought, but the bristles are too short and the plastic tube the bristles are attached to hits the baseboards and furniture often. I'm probably going back to the Kenmore for that, but I have a storage issue -- I have no place for 2 vacuums. Also, the dust brush is permanently attached to the short end of the hose assembly, which means you have to bend over to do the woodwork. Not something people in their 70's and 80's (which we are) want to do. There are no other attachments, like a crevice tool, or furniture brush, etc. which the Kenmore came with. And the Kenmore attachments are used at the end a 2-piece metal wand, so no bending to do woodwork. You have the option of 2 lengths with the metal wand, or directly on the handle as the Eureka does. The controls on the Kenmore are on the handle, like the Eureka, but it also has the off/on control. On the Eureka you have to turn it off on the main portion of the vacuum. And when you switch from tile to carpet you have to change the setting on the floor brush portion in addition to the handle setting. The Kenmore head stops the brush rotation when you change to tile. I know the price was right on this one, but it just is not doing what I want. I will be looking around for a more versatile vacuum soon. Probably no online because I will want to lift it and see the actual set up in person.

This product performance is absolutely amazing for hardwood floors, tile, and baseboards. It’s super easy to use and it’s very light to pick up and carry around if that’s easier for you. It easily gets the dirt from the little crevices between the hardwood floor and the grout in the tile. For that, I will give it five stars. The brush is attached to the arm and that is very convenient for baseboard vacuuming. If I could change anything, I would have the product cord to be longer. It is not good on carpet. But that’s pretty clear from the product reviews. I don’t have carpeting so it’s no big deal.

This little vacuum is pretty good at cleaning hard floors and upholstery, but not quite as adequate on installed carpets. I don’t feel there’s enough suction to get deep enough to do a thorough clean, but for light levels of dust, debris, or hair it should do the trick. Might also work well on throw rugs or washable carpets to get out the extra dirt and dust before washing. I did not need to read the instructions to operate this despite being an old school Kirby owner and never having dealt with a bagless set up. If you know general symbols and can push a button you can do this. The handle comes with a metal stabilized attachment for the floor head which attaches to the plastic hose portion. There is also a small telescoping upholstery brush that can be engaged for tight spaces as well as fabric. The dirt cup is a good size, but because all that dust and debris kind of circulates in a little wind tunnel it’s good to keep it clean so it runs efficiently. The whole thing assembles and disassembles easily and compactly for storage. It’s also one of those things that can be easily repacked in its original box. 😊 Overall this is lightweight and maneuvers well. If you are looking for a simple, light duty vacuum this is a solid choice. This won’t get deep into mattress layers or pile carpet, but works much more effectively than sweeping on most surfaces. I gave 4 stars for the value inherent in its simplicity and its ease of use features, but think it could be improved upon with a different attachment or two additional. The suction was also a little disappointing.

My small Eureka canister vacuum arrived today and of course I had to put it together and try it out immediately. I am so impressed with the way that this little Eureka is built. The first thing I noticed is the fully adjustable metal wand as compared to the plastic ones that you get with most small vacuums. It's fully height adjustable with many many adjustments available. The floor cleaner can go from hard floors to carpets with no problem whatsoever just a click. It is amazingly easy to dump and the filter comes out very easily and cleans up very well. I used to own another brand that was this size and this one is miles above that one as far as noise, the way that it's made and the materials that it's made with and the ease of cleaning after using. I am a 73-year-old senior lady and I have just a small senior apartment approximately 500 ft. This vacuum will do absolutely everything I need it to do. I did spend some time looking for the dust brush LOL and then notice that it is actually part of the nozzle. Now that I have located that and found how easy that is to use I think it's an amazing idea to have it a permanent part of the machine so you don't have to go looking for it when you need it. All in all, this lady is very happy with her purchase. The only thing I would tell people to look for is that one of these little vacuums has an extra filter and the other one does not however they are both the same vacuum and they are the same price even though one of them has that free filter. Of course I chose the one without the free filter which is another case of just having a senior moment. Just make sure you check. I did order an extra filter for it but of course I had to pay extra. Anyway this is a really good little vacuum and I would highly recommend it to someone with a small place.

I guess this is highly underrated product , using it since 6 months still has the same power., very rugged machine use it everyday in the Balcony on the Turf also no issues. Update Still running Strong

It took them forever to deliver the product and multiple calls to cancel the order. Multiple calls on Amazon product support. Didn't work. Finally, I will probably return it.

Tiene una fuerza para aspirar muy buena. Se limpia fácilmente. Solo hay que comprar filtros extras

I recently bought this little dynamo and it is great! It’s lightweight, bagless and very powerful! Two things that I don’t like about it are (1) The bristle brush doesn’t lock into place, so as soon as you try to vacuum blinds or baseboards with it, the brush pushes up and your wand is scraping the surfaces. Big thumbs down! (2) The power head on laminate floor is incredibly loud. Overall, a good little vacuum.
