Eureka 96B Review: Upright Cordless Stick Vacuum
We were surprised by how much suction power this Eureka 96B stick vacuum has. The 9-volt motor makes short work of messes on hardwoods, tiles, and carpets. While you have to keep the vacuum plugged in to stay charged, it comes with a handy wall-mounted rack. The telescopic handle lets you push the 5.5-pound vacuum around floors and detaches when you want to clean stairs and cars. The head gets up close to walls and baseboards, and the revolving brush roll loosens dirt to be sucked up. We liked seeing a charge indicator light—a simple feature that some manufacturers forget for these cordless vacuums. The Eureka 96B costs $68.99.
