My New Lightweight Eureka Vacuum Cleaner

I remember shopping for new household products with my boyfriend 3 years ago when we first decided to move out on our own. For the most part, I was able to choose whatever I wanted and he would give me a little nod of approval. But when it came to buying a vacuum cleaner, I discovered his dirty little secret, or should I say clean secret? He’s obsessed with vacuuming. We were totally broke back then and had to settle for a sub par vacuum cleaner… and he’s hated it ever since.

A few weeks ago, I was off at the library getting some work done when I received a picture message from my vacuum obsessed boyfriend.  Imagine my surprise when it was a picture of that offending vacuum cleaner that he has no-so-secretely always hated.

The vacuum had literally broken in half. Boom. Totally irreparable. The jury is still out on whether or not it was a premeditated act. Regardless, it meant that we were suddenly vacuum-less. And with two toddlers who love to get our couches and carpets filthy… we were quickly in desperate need of a new affordable vacuum cleaner.

When I want to get affordable things, I always head straight to Walmart. They have awesome selections and even better prices. While shopping for my new vacuum cleaner I had a huge selection to choose from.

The one that really stood out to me was the bright neon green Eureka vacuum. I liked it because it was smaller than most of the others and I like compact vacuums. But, with it’s small size and how lightweight it is… I was skeptical. Can a vacuum like the Eureka AirSpeed ONE Turbo really be powerful enough to suck up weeks worth of funk from my carpets?

The answer to that question is yes. Yes. YES. YES. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

There is of course some assembly required with this vacuum. I was all set to give you a nice picture by picture recap of putting it together. But I was bombarded at my front door by the vacuum freak and he immediately set to work ripping the box apart and putting it together (without the directions, because he is a man after all). There are an easy to follow set of instructions that come with this vacuum. Even without them, Davi was able to put it together in under 5 minutes.

I insisted that the vacuum freak wait until the morning to vacuum, because it was already past the kid’s bedtime… but it was to no avail. He was off and vacuuming within minutes. And even though he was super skeptical of our new lightweight and affordable vacuum, it’s suction power definitely impressed him.

I wouldn’t allow him to vacuum the entire house (aside from bathrooms and kitchen the whole home is carpeted). But just after vacuuming the living and dining area the Eureka AirSpeed ONE Turbo had already proven it’s worth. My carpets and couch were looking like new by the time he was done vacuuming.

The Eureka AirSpeed ONE Turbo vacuum was priced well below our last vacuum and per the Vacuum Freak… it functions much better! And priced at just $59.96 it’s definitely one of the most affordable vacuums on the market.

The vacuum has different suction for different types of floors. It also has the hose with attachable head to clean stairs and couches. It’s so lightweight that it just zooms around the floors. And because it’s bagless you don’t have to worry about spending money on a ton of bags every time it gets full. With the Eureka #AirSpeedONE Turbo you can just empty it out and you’re ready to go again.

This vacuum has been keeping our carpets clean and if it gets the nod of approval from the Vacuum Freak… I’m sure you’ll approve, too. 😉
