✔ Eureka NEU182B Upright Vacuum vs. Kenmore DU1275 Upright Vacuum

Both vacuums utilize foam filters, but the Kenmore DU1275 offers a more comprehensive set of included components, with a dedicated upholstery tool and a 3-in-1 combination tool, providing greater versatility. Neither vacuum is cordless.

The Kenmore DU1275 has a larger dust cup capacity (3 Liters vs 2.6 Liters), allowing for less frequent emptying. While the Eureka NEU182B boasts a higher wattage (960 watts vs 750 watts), the Kenmore appears to be designed for efficiency at a lower wattage. The Eureka has a slightly longer hose (7 feet vs 6 feet), offering better reach. Both are intended for indoor cleaning and have an upright form factor.

The Kenmore DU1275's more compact dimensions (11"L x 10"W x 34"H vs 13"L x 14"W x 44"H) give it an advantage in terms of storage. The Kenmore also operates at a lower noise level (80 dB vs 88 dB).

✔ Eureka NEU182B Upright Vacuum vs. Eureka NEU801BL Upright Vacuum

The Eureka NEU801BL "Pet Upright Vacuum Cleaner" wins on name alone, being more descriptive than the "PowerSpeed." The PowerSpeed, NEU182B, takes the lead in weight (10 lbs vs 14.33 lbs) and capacity (2.6 Liters vs 1.3 Liters) due to being easier to maneuver and requiring less frequent emptying. It also boasts a more powerful motor with a higher wattage (960 watts vs 13.2 watts).

However, the Pet Upright Vacuum excels in filtration with its HEPA filter, superior for allergen and particle trapping. Its special features – spotless cleaning, portability, headlight, and HEPA – are more practical than just being lightweight with wheels. The inclusion of a Motorized Pet & Stair Tool in the NEU801BL also gives it an edge when it comes to accessories.

The NEU801BL further benefits from QuickShift technology and an anti-tangle brush roll, plus a quieter operation at 83 dB versus 88 dB for the PowerSpeed. While both are corded, the PowerSpeed gains a victory in customer rating (4.3 stars from almost 59,000 ratings) over the Pet Upright's 4.1 stars from around 5,000 ratings, suggesting a higher level of user satisfaction with the PowerSpeed, especially considering the much larger sample size.
