Looking for Answers about Eureka Eureka AirSpeed Bagless Upright Vacuum, AS1000A?

Works GREAT on edges!

Yes, it works better than any vacuum on edges I've ever had.

Yes , this was actually good.

it has a edge thing on the hose that works lovely

Yes, it does on both sides. And, it has an edge guard around the base.

Yes it does, it even has small brushes on the edges. And the suction is soo great it will pull anyting within inches right into it

Yes and it works great! I almost sucked up my dust ruffle on spare bedroom bed. I didn't even think about lifting it up since old vacuum obviously had NO suction what so ever!

It does have edge cleaning. It seams to clean the edges of the carpet and wall. It has little brushes on the sides.

Yes !!

Yes and it actually works unlike most of my other vacuum cleaners in the past.

It does have brushes on the edges on the front part where the main brush is. It does very well on edges. We purposely placed some little trash bits on the corners and it picked them all up. I think the design of the brush guard in the front is such that it allows the brush to be closer to the edge. I recommend it, just switched over from a Bissell (which totally lost suction) and it didnt handle at all as well as this one.

I found it to be great on carpet but not good on bare floors.

This one has a "bare floors" setting which uses the same pick up values as with the rug settings. Does a great job.

Works great on my carpeting and hardwaood floors. Have not tried it on tiles yet, but has great suction so should do OK.

I have used this vacuum on a low pile berber and linoleum flooring. It works very well for me on both. There are 4 floor height settings that you can choose from.

I have used it on both carpet and tile and it's pretty good.

I have ceramic tile. wood and carpet. Works well on all of these.

I wouldn't recommend for any of floor type. It leaves behind lint on carpet and drags on berber. I can't find a setting that works for berber. It's it drags or it's too high and doesn't pick up. The best feature is the tools feature but it's not worth the investment.

It will do them all!

good on carpet
wood floors
not tile

It would not suck up the fine dirt I had accidently spilt on my bare floor while emptying the canister cup. Does work well on carpet, if you don't mind it not cleaning around the edges.

I have hardwood, laminate, tile and carpet. I prefer sweeping and dry swiffer to any vacuum but it does work on floors. Best on carpets and rugs. Good on furniture and stairs too.

It is actually pretty easy to push. Right before I read your question, I asked my son and daughter (who are six and seven respectively) if they had any problems pushing it. They both said no, so IMO it's easy to use.

I find this vacuum very easy to use. Glides along nicely.

Yes, this vac is very easy to push.

Yes, it is easy to push, however it depends on the level that you set the brushes on (based on the type of floor). It can be very easy to push, very lightweight, if you have the brushes up high, but much harder to push if you have the brushes sitting lower. I have used heavier and I have used lighter. My Kenmore was a lot lighter, but it only lasted a few months, and even with 2 trips to the repair place it was never the same. I would recommend this one.

Absolutely! especially if you set the carpet height adjustment to high or medium it just glides across your carpet.

I think it's easy, almost like it pulls itself.

Very easy to push, even my 5yo dgtr has used it. Select bare floor setting if you struggle pushing/pulling this and it's a breeze.

It is very light weight. I would recommend it for your back problems

This vacuum is a little on the heavy side so its wouldn't be good for you if you have a lot of stairs, but you can control everything with your foot and the suction to the rug is so good it pretty much pulls itself along.

yes but... my back doesnt hurt

No this thing is very hard to push. You need a self propelled vacuum.

Yes. I use it on everything from a very deep pile carpet in my living room, to my bare dining room floor.

Works great on high pile carpeting. My carpet hasn't looke dthis good in a long time.

I have frieze carpet and it was ok. Didn't lift up the carpet like I hoped.

I have very deep pile carpet in my 2 bedrooms. Seems to work well. Has a height adjustment. I set it on low for LR/DR and high for bedrooms. It's a little harder to push on the high carpets, but seems to get them nice and fluffy and clean.

I have very dense carpeting and I had just vacuumed my carpet with my Dyson and I went over it with my new Eureka air speed and I had to empty the canister twice. The suction is very strong.
So, yes, it does work on deep carpeting.

Great, I have Frieze carpet and it completely picked it back up and cleaned it thoroughly!! I was thinking I would have to replace my carpet that was only 2 years old since it looked so worn. This vacuum has brought it back to life.. Good luck finding a better vacuum for the $$.

Even on the high carpet setting it frayed the top of the carpet very badly.

It has adjustments for different carpet depths and it works great on mine.

it picks up really well... on any surface!!

It works great! We have deep carpets in the living room and it sucks up alot of dust. The Dyson would make a loud screeching noise when we used it on our deep carpet because it was stopping itself before ruining the belt. We had no problem with the Eureka. I honestly LOVE this sweeper. Like I said, it takes alot to take time out and write so much about a sweeper :). I LOVE it!!

the vacuum weighs 18.5 pounds and is relativity easy to maneuver

this is so light and i dont either usually my hubby helps me but now i lift this on my own it is very light which is great with stairs i have to clean so yes it is easy to push and pull

This vacuum is a little on the heavy side, but when pushing it or pulling it, it moves pretty easily... but if you had to get it up stairs or lift it alot, this is not the vacuum for you... for lightweight, I'd go with an Oreck... but they are much more expensive.

very easy to push and pull

This vacuum moves very easily over carpet and bare floors and maneuvers around furniture and other obstacles quite well. Much more easily than my previous vacuum, a Hoover Whisper Cyclonic.

absolutely. it is self-propelled

Yes it is. There are different height adjustments on the vacuum so that I cleans close to the surface but keeps it high enough that it's still easy to roll. It will adjust to any height of flooring, whether it is bare floors, low carpets, thick carpets, etc.

It pushes easy but pulls hard.

We have med- to thick carpet. and i found the pushing and pulling little hard. So i would have to say no it is not easy.

The vac rolls easily without a lot of effort. Not sure by what you mean by not much upper arm strength, but my 9 year old can vacuum with the Airspeed.

On bare floors yes, the brush still spins on bare floor setting.

Not that I can tell! I haven't had that happen with this one at all. My mother borrowed the vacuum and she thought it had since she had dust on her furniture afterward but if it was from my vacuum it was because I hadn't cleaned the filters in a while and they were full.

I HAVENT HAD ANY TROUBLE AT ALL WITH IT BLOWING DIRT OUT THE BACK OR ANYWHERE... I HAVE USED IT ON CARPET, THROW RUGS AND HARD WOOD FLOOR AND IT WORKS GREAT!

No, it all goes into the dirt container. Nowhere to go from there.

I have noticed no leakage anywhere in my vacuum. It seems to get and retain it all.

I've used it twice and have not had this happen at all

No!!!

No

No I dont think so. I didnt notice any dirt/air coming out

no, it picks the dirt up and it stays there until the canister is emptied

Rubber, and they give you a spare.

Rubber, and the vacuum comes with one belt installed, plus one extra.

It has a rubber belt.

The belt is rubber.

Synthetic rubber.

Noise level is quite bearable. Not as loud as some I have used.

That is in the ear of the listner... unless you have a meter, and I don't. This is much quieter then my previous Hoover. It is a bit lower pitched also then the hoover. But it still appears to be a DC brush type moter so it does still have that brush whine.

I have noticed on other models that when it gets high pitched it usually means that the filters are at capacity and need to be cleaned, and even then the power is not good anymore. This vacumm held its power the whole way through my home. The cup was full to capacity and it still was constant in sound. It is not loud but a constant purr.

It has a more muffled sound. It doesn't seem to have the higher whistle of wind a dyson has, the rumble of the motor is less grr sounding than a hoover. The brush does make a good hrummm sound but it depends on the carpet pile depth. Over all it's not bad. Worst case I'm sure you can find away to test them out at sears or lowes. Eurekas in general sound similar

Its not really that loud. I guess I never realized how loud our last one was until we got this one. My husband and son both noticed that it was much quieter.

The vacuum is not whisper quiet but does not have a high pitched whine. I'd describe it as a pleasing medium pitched roar that's reassuring since you know it's really sucking up all the dirt!

There is nothing extraordinarily "loud" about it. I would not say that it is quiet...it is of normal pitch or what you would normally expect of a vacuum as far as sound level is concerned. :)

It's not too loud. I think it's a normal noise for a vacuum.

It is not loud, it's easy to use and not heavy.

Compared to previous vacuums I have owned, this model seems very quiet. My kids usually run out of the room when I vacuum. With this model, they barely notice the noise.

You do not need one this one is washable, but you can get them at your local store.

walmart now

If not at WalMart.com, you will be able to order them from Eureka.com.

I bought a replacement filter at the local wal-mart.

right at walmart store

online - check the back of your manual

walmart

I bought replacement filters at Wal-mart when I purchased the eureka

Walmart sells them. The big filter is $19.00, and the HEPA filter is $10.00.

I work for Eureka and both the washable style DCF-21 pre motor filter and the replacement HEPA filter style EF-6 are available at most Walmart stores in the US. The AirSpeed includes a cleaning brush for the DCF-21 pre motor filter, which is also washable. To maintain suction please replace or clean filters regularly. Please note the side of the HEPA filter facing out is the clean air side, so it must be removed to check the reverse side to verify if the filter is dirty. Recommend holding the filter up to a light, if light cannot easily be seen through the filter or it is older than six to twelve months the HEPA filter should be changed to insure optimum cleaning performance.

no it dont

No, that is probably the only downside to this vacuum.

no

No there is no light.

But the AirSpeed is a great vacuum and not having a light has not been an issue for me.

When the light burned out on my old Eureka F/G bag vacuum, did not replace it and did not miss the light at all.

No light.

No it does not.

No it does not.

No. Probably the only downfall of the vacuum!

I work for Eureka, and the AirSpeed Bagless Upright does not have a headlight.

yes...and easy to access to replace bulb too
