Hoover WindTunnel Cord Rewind Pro Upright vs Eureka PowerSpeed Bagless Upright Vacuum

Buy the Hoover WindTunnel Cord Rewind Pro if you have mostly carpet and want sealed HEPA filtration, a retracting cord and a longer hose. Buy the Eureka PowerSpeed if you want a light vacuum you can carry up stairs and a big dirt cup you empty less often. The Hoover is the heavier, better-filtered machine; the Eureka is the easier one to live with day to day. Owners of both rate suction highly, but the Hoover's HEPA filter and cord rewind are the real step-ups.

• Choose the Hoover WindTunnel Cord Rewind Pro if you have wall-to-wall carpet, allergy sufferers in the house, and you want HEPA filtration plus a cord that rewinds itself.
• Choose the Eureka PowerSpeed if you carry a vacuum between floors, want a large 2.6 L dirt cup, and don't need HEPA filtration.
