Eureka 71b Hand Held Vacuum

The Eureka 71B Hand Held Vacuum is one of the top-selling hand-held vacuums on the market, and has been for several years if we include previous models of basically the same device. Despite its plain appearance, it gets largely positive customer reviews.

Perhaps the one thing that stands out most about the Eureka 71B is its powerful suction. When looking at this little item you wouldn’t expect that kind of power. Dirt Devils are known for powerful suction, but consumer reviews suggest that this one is more powerful. That suction is very useful when using attachments to get at hard-to-reach places where you can always attack the same piece of dirt or fluff from multiple angles until it catches. The Eureka 71B’s suction takes care of that.

The 71B is not a cordless vacuum. This may sound like a drawback, but the cord is really what allows the vacuum to have such power for both its suction and its rotating brush. The cord is 20 feet long so you can reach a lot of far away places without an extension cord. The vacuum also features a hose that extends to 3 times the device’s length, helping you stretch your reach even further.

At 5.5 pounds it is a little heavier than other hand held units which may be a bit of a hassle when carrying it and lifting it into your car and such.

The Eureka 71B is useful for nooks and crannies, stairs, car interiors, and possibly upholstery. Though the rotating brush is quite strong so be careful of your upholstery if it is delicate.

The Eureka 71B Hand-Held Vacuum is a great supplemental vacuum for all those hard-to-reach places, and places it would be hard to carry a large vacuum to.
