This thing is very light and very easy to use. I personally like these upright style cordless vacuums better than the traditional cordless vacuums at least in terms of handling, because the weight distribution is such that there is virtually no weight on your vacuuming arm and it’s a lot less tiring on the forearm than even the very lightweight Dyson V10 for example.

I also like how these upright style stick vacs stand up on their own which is something you will miss with a traditional cordless vacuum.

Another big pro with the Eufy Homevac is the battery life. I was blown away to see it get 56:45 in low power and about 22:38 in high power, which is significantly better than the Hoover Linx which was our first review in this series.

It also had really good suction and airflow, we measured the airflow at the cleaner head at 38 cfm on high, 26 cfm on low and the suction at 41 inches of water lift which is extremely good for a cordless vacuum, in fact its better than anything else in its price range that I have seen so far.

Yet another area where the Eufy homevac beat the Hoover Linx was with the filtration. I was skeptical of its filtration claims, because it is so cheap, but it passed our smoke test with no leakage which was unexpected.

Related to that the build quality seems very good. It looks and feels like a more expensive vacuum, the materials are sturdy and the components fit together well.

Another pro was its deep cleaning ability, generally speaking, cordless vacuums tend to struggle with deep cleaning carpets, but the Eufy did quite a bit better than the Hoover Linx by scoring 88% on our embedded sand in the carpet test.

It also did very well with edge cleaning from both the side and from the front.

In general its pickup ability was very good on both hard floors and carpet, as long as the debris was under a certain size. We tested it both low and high power and didn’t notice too much difference between the two. With fine debris it really excelled, even picking up heavy debris like sand, it also did very good with pet hair on both surfaces. It even did well with what I rate as small debris.

But of course it cant all be good news at this price so lets move on to the cons.

Because of its relatively small gates on the cleaner head it just cant pick up medium to large debris on carpet or on hard floors.

This issue is compounded by the fact that the brush roll cant be turned off, it has a low and high power but no brush roll cut off switch. And while the seal on the bottom of the unit prevents this from becoming an issue with hard floor pickup which is good, it does mean that you cant just pick up the vacuum to get the larger debris because the brush with kick the debris all over the place. And because there is no hose you are stuck with either picking up the larger debris by hand, or disconnecting the cleaner head and vacuuming in this very awkward way.

Its not a deal breaker as larger debris isn’t a major part of vacuuming for some people, but for others who might need it for just that purpose it’s a big problem.

Another con is the dust bin, its doesn’t have a button to release the debris but rather a latch, so it can get messy. It’s a little more prone to stuck debris that the Hoover Linx, but not too bad. It can be completely disassembled for deep cleaning, which is good. You do need to make very sure you inspect regularly and keep the filter clean as it will cause a loss suction if its not paid attention to.
