On hard floors with fine debris we found that they all did better than average, even picking up the much heavier sand with no trouble. Which is not something every vacuum can do. We will discuss this more when we get to the airflow and suction tests.

When we moved to larger debris on hard floors we noticed that the Bissell Featherweight and the Dirt Devil Simpli-Stick really could not pick up larger debris without picking up the vacuum. The Eureka Blaze did much better with larger debris though I still had to pick it up to get some of the larger pieces.

The reason the Eureka does better than the other two with larger debris is because it has a much larger gate on the front of the floor head, in fact Eureka calls the floor head a “capture nozzle” and say in their promotional material that it is designed to be able to pick up larger debris.

We tested them on low pile carpet and found that even though they dont have a brush roll to agitate the carpet they do a fairly good job of picking up pet hair and other debris from the surface of the carpet. Here again the Eureka did better than the other two by picking up all the debris without having to lift up the vacuum to get to it.

In handheld mode they had much less trouble with large debris, with the Dirt Devil and the Eureka preforming equally well. The Bissell Featherweight however kept getting clogged with our big mess test and it took three tries to pick up all the debris.

Moving on to ease of use

All three of these are light and I mean super light. And though they range from 2.6 to 4.4 pounds the Bissell being the lightest and the Dirt Devil the heaviest, none of them seemed the slightest bit heavy on the arm when vacuuming.

There was a clear winner with the handling and accuracy though because The Eureka was the only one with swivel steering, while the others had fixed position floor heads

This meant that with the Bissell and Dirt Devil you have to either shift your arm angle and body to change directions or just slide it sideways. So the swivel steering on the Eureka really did seem like an important feature to have.

The cord lengths ranged from 15 to 18 ft with the Eureka Blaze having the longest cord. But it should be noted that generally speaking this is about half the length of a traditional upright vacuum cord. So if you are planning on vacuuming really large areas with these you may find that you have to unplug it several times.

Moving on to suction and airflow.

Airflow is probably the most important performance metric with vacuums of this type and all three had quite a bit, We measured the airflow from the floor head sealed to a box with an anemometer attached. Here are the numbers, and you can see that the Eureka scored just a little higher than the rest.

For context the brand new $700 ish dollar Dyson V10 has less airflow on both low and medium power, only surpassing these stick vacuums in its high power setting.

Despite that last test I would have to say that the Eureka Blaze Stick Vacuum is the clear winner. It has the best pick up ability, the best ease of use scores, and the highest airflow the only reason not to choose it over the others is that it is about $10 bucks more on average than the Dirt Devil which is our 2nd place winner.
