If there is one thing I really dislike about being a grown up it is all the cleaning I am constantly doing. I just never found a love, or even a peaceful partnership with cleaning. Obviously it has to be done, so when it comes to supplies and cleaning products I try my best to find ones that will not only work, but work really well so I can cut my cleaning time.
Living in Vegas has brought a whole new meaning to “dusty”. We live in a desert and let me tell you – I am ALWAYS dusting and vacuuming!! Both my son and I have asthma so it isn’t something I get to slack on.
Recently Eureka reached out to me to see if I wanted to test their new Eureka AirSpeed ALL FLOORS vacuum bagless upright before it hit the shelves.
I own a pretty expensive vacuum but I was very intrigued with Eureka said that the new AirSpeed ALL FLOORS Bagless Upright Vacuum AS3011A had patented “floor-to-cup airpath” technology that decreases the distance that the dust needs to travel and increases airflow to provide maximum suction power and leave you confident that no matter what life throws on your floors it will be clean.
Translation? Less dust escaping into the air, fast clean, less time spent vacuuming!
I was ready to take on the challenge, but I was intrigued by their independent testing saying that it cleans better than the $350 Dyson DC41. The Eureka AirSpeed ALL FLOORS vacuum only costs $98, so it’s at a price that is in a lot more families budget than a Dyson vacuum, but wouldn’t make them feel like they weren’t getting as clean.
The final selling point for me on this vacuum was the fact that it is designed to clean ALL FLOORS with a brush roll that turns to deep clean carpets AND can safely remove dirt on bare floors! I like the idea of being able move quickly from one surface to another.
As part of the power panel testing team I was asked to put the vacuum through some tests. I chose to do all three tests because if it was me doing the research on a vacuum I’d want as much information as I could get.
I’ll be honest – I put off doing this review a bit. Mostly because I really HATE to clean!!
But after a super easy assembly…
And seeing that they had made every possible issue I have with vacuums easy. I was warming up to this vacuum.
How did the Eureka AirSpeed ALL FLOORS preform?
My final thoughts?
I shared most of my thoughts in the above video review, but if you need a bottom line and don’t have anytime to watch the video I will say this…
THAT! That is so gross! I truthfully was shocked that this vacuum would get that much dirt out of my carpets! Mostly because I had just used my Oreck (which cost WAY more than $98) TWO DAYS PRIOR! My children were playing on that! It goes to show you just how effective this vacuum cleaner really is! This picture alone was enough to sell me on the vacuum and let me know that a $98 vacuum can indeed clean as well or better than it’s expensive counterparts.
Buy it!

Effective suction (and suction that lasts beyond the initial few times the vacuum is used) is ultimately the product’s most important feature for me.
