Consensus

our Verdict

Critics were impressed by the Eureka Whirlwind Bagless Canister vacuum, recommending it for bare floors and carpets. They were happy with its bagless canister design.

Critics at People were pleased with its 0.85 kPa of suction power. Testers at Expert Reviewers established that it has a good 72.3 dBA noise rating during their experiments.

Its 0.6L dirt compartment was deemed a bit small for a canister vacuum. This model maneuvers well, and although it has a non-HEPA filter, tests revealed that it has a very good filtration system that contains allergens and small particles.

Consider the Airsign HEPA vacuum review if you prefer a HEPA model. The Whirlwind canister vacuum provides impressive performance on most floor types, clearing an impressive 99% of the large debris on bare floors and 93% on low-pile carpets.

It weighs just 10.80-lbs, providing portability However, it has limited attachments, featuring just an extension wand and a soft bristle brush. Testers at Vacuum Zone were displeased by this unit’s relatively short 13.85-foot power cord.
