Introduction
The Eureka Blaze is a lightweight, 3‑in‑1 cleaning tool aimed at people who want a quick, flexible vacuum for everyday pickup tasks. It combines a stick form factor with a detachable hand unit and an onboard crevice tool so you can move between floors, rugs, and tight spaces without swapping machines.
If you’re after something simple for apartments, cars, and quick spot cleans, the Eureka Blaze looks built for convenience rather than heavy-duty deep cleaning. Quick verdict: a very portable, easy-to-use cleaner that excels at everyday debris on hard floors and low‑pile carpets.
What’s in the Box
- Main vacuum body (3‑in‑1 configuration) — inferred from listing
- Onboard crevice tool (built into the unit) (source: listing, checked 2025)
- User manual — Not specified
- Charger or power cord — Not specified
- Additional attachments (brush, motorized head) — Not specified
Note: The listing explicitly mentions the onboard crevice tool and the 3‑in‑1 design; other included items are not specified in the source and are inferred where noted.
Design & Build
At just 4 pounds, the Eureka Blaze is clearly built for portability and one‑handed use (source: listing, checked 2025). The low weight makes it easy to carry between rooms, up and down stairs, or into a vehicle for cleaning interiors. Because the listing doesn’t provide materials or dimensions, the exact feel and long‑term durability are Not specified.
The product uses Eureka’s signature swivel steering system to improve maneuverability compared with standard stick vacuums, which helps when navigating furniture legs and tight corridors. The 3‑in‑1 format means you can convert the stick into a handheld unit without extra tools, and the onboard crevice tool stores on the body so you won’t misplace small accessories. If you care about compact storage, the low weight and likely slim footprint make it a natural fit for smaller spaces.
If you need to know build materials, overall dimensions, or whether a wall mount is included, those details are Not specified in the listing.
Key Features
3‑in‑1 Design with Onboard Crevice Tool
Benefit: Converts quickly between stick, handheld, and spot tool modes, so one device serves several cleaning jobs.
Where it helps: Use the stick configuration for floors and rugs, detach the hand unit to clean car interiors or upholstery, and flip out the onboard crevice tool for baseboards, corners, and between cushions. The onboard storage keeps the crevice tool handy so you don’t interrupt a clean to hunt for parts.
Lightweight Portability (4 pounds)
Benefit: Easier to lift, carry, and store than bulkier vacuums (source: listing, checked 2025).
Where it helps: Apartments, second‑floor quick cleans, and car duty benefit from the low weight—especially for anyone who finds traditional vacuums heavy to maneuver.
Capture Nozzle for Larger Debris
Benefit: The capture nozzle is designed to pick up larger particles that standard stick heads may push aside, improving first‑pass pickup on hard floors and low‑pile rugs.
Where it helps: Kitchens and entryways where cereal, rice, and other larger crumbs are common, plus area rugs and low‑pile carpets where sweeping action is less effective.
Swivel Steering
Benefit: Enhanced agility around furniture and narrow spaces compared with non‑swivel designs.
Where it helps: Tight living rooms, cluttered office rooms, and spaces with lots of furniture legs — makes it faster to clean without repeatedly repositioning the unit.
240 Watts / 2 Amp Motor
Benefit: The motor specification indicates modest but practical suction power for routine debris like dust, pollen, and crumbs (source: listing, checked 2025).
Where it helps: Good for maintaining surface cleanliness on hard floors, area rugs, and low‑pile carpets. It’s less suited for deep pile or heavy shedding pet hair where a more powerful or motorized brushroll would be preferable.
Washable Filtration System
Benefit: Reusable filter reduces replacement costs and helps keep airflow consistent when you clean the filter regularly.
Where it helps: Households with allergies or frequent dust exposure will appreciate the ability to wash and reuse the filter rather than replace disposables frequently. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations to retain performance; specifics are Not specified in the listing.
Performance & Use
Setup is straightforward: assemble the stick, ensure the onboard crevice tool is accessible, and plug in or power up according to the unit’s design (the listing does not specify cordless or corded operation). Because the Blaze is marketed for hard floors, area rugs, and low‑pile carpets, expect the best results on those surfaces. The capture nozzle helps prevent large pieces from being pushed rather than picked up, which is a practical advantage during everyday messes.
Practical tips:
- Empty the dust cup after multiple small jobs rather than waiting for it to be completely full; this keeps suction consistent.
- Rinse and air‑dry the washable filter regularly to prevent odors and maintain airflow (the filter is washable per listing; frequency is Not specified).
- Use the handheld mode for car interiors and upholstery to reach seams and under seats.
- Take advantage of the swivel steering to make back‑and‑forth strokes quicker when cleaning around chair legs and tight obstacles.
Maintenance:
- Remove and wash the filter when you notice a drop in suction or according to your typical cleaning cadence. The listing confirms a washable filtration system (source: listing, checked 2025).
- Check the capture nozzle for trapped large debris occasionally; larger bits can jam airflow or interfere with pickup.
- If the unit is corded, store the cord neatly; if cordless, the listing does not specify battery type or run time, so consult the included manual (Not specified).

This vacuum is super lightweight and easy to maneuver, which makes it convenient for quick cleanups. The swivel steering helps it glide around furniture, and it does pick up dust and crumbs on hard floors pretty well.
That said, it looks and feels a bit cheap, and it doesn’t have the strong suction or build quality you’d want for long-term household use. It seems much better suited for a dorm room, small apartment, or as a temporary option rather than a main vacuum.
On the plus side, it did get the job done for light cleaning, but I wouldn’t rely on it as a long-term solution for a larger household.

It gets the job done. I purchased this small vacuum to collect dirt and dust on my hardwood floors. I was tired of sweeping with a broom. This is perfect for every day or frequent use. I sometimes use it to vacuum over small area rugs. It is lightweight. The head swivels well and gets under furniture that sits off the floor. For reference I have a medium size 2 bedroom apartment. You will have to dump the dirt holder after a couple of uses. However, it does hold a lot of dirt and dust for its size. I am well satisfied. It’s enough suction to get dust, dirt and debris off hardwood floors.

This Eureka does what I most need it to do: pick up cat hair and large particle dirt. For a vac that doesn’t have a sealed filtration system, it does pretty well with dust, too. The parts (handle, vac & attachments) fit together easily and come apart easily when you want them to. Best of all, this vac has the best suction power in its class (thank you Vacuum Wars for this invaluable piece of info). This lightweight stick vac pulled up pills, french fries, cheerios, sales receipts, & pieces of onion skin, & because of the simplicity of the design, nothing clogged it. I feel the problem I have with used kleenexes that lurk just out of sight and clog up my Dyson every bloody time I use it has been solved at last.

I love this vaccuum its lightweight and easy to use comes apart and gets in the books and crannies as my momma would say. Ii like the cord length its 6ft and its a great product for the price. It comes with and attachment that’s easy to carry and it works well its corded so there is no battery life

En mi casa somos una familia peluche (2 gatos, 1 perro, mi esposo y yo).
La uso para el aspirado diario y debo decir que me funciona muy bien, es increíble la cantidad de polvo y pelo que recoje. Tengo 2 alfombras y aunque tengan textura aspira muuuy bien.
Inicio el aspirado en las recámaras, después el baño, la sala, cocina y al final el área de lavado que es donde tengo los areneros de mis gatos y aunque dejen una montaña de arena tirada la aspiradora hace muy bien su trabajo.
Por el precio es una ganga, es ligera, práctica y podría decir que no es ruidosa.
Ahora es raro que use la escoba y te da una satisfacción después de cada aspirado porque sabes que con la escoba no hubieras logrado el mismo nivel de limpieza.
Si no quieres gastar 5mil pesos en una aspiradora, está es la opción. BBB

For the price, this is da BOMB! I wanted something very small that I could store in my master closet to clean up the hair in the bathroom. I did not want battery operated. This is perfect. So far so good. It is lightweight, stands up just fine on its own, picks up hair and other debris, the cord is long enough, light weight, and I can use it as a hand held if necessary You can’t go wrong at this excellent price point.

The adaptor of the product is US standard. It will not fit in Europe sockets. Its strange to sell US standard product in Europe with out performing any due diligence.

Works great, light, easy to use, have to empty it often but does a good job on couches, floors and I used it in my car, good cord length can get most of my apt on 1 plug

As someone who’s had this for about two years now, id have to say it works….. fine-ish. I have a very tiny apartment, think… bed is about 3 feet away from my fridge small. I have a bit of hardwood and carpet. It works WAAAYY better on hardwood. I have to work really hard on carpets to get even the most basic of crumbs, and don’t get me started on the hair pickup (or lack of it). It’s like I’m trying to create a new carpet with my hair in here I hate it, (but cant buy a new vacuum because I’ll be moving across the ocean sometime soon) Seriously wouldn’t recommend if your home is large or mostly carpeted.
Cord length is perfect for my tiny apartment though, and it’s easy enough to clean. It’s lasted me about two years so that is why I’ve given it a higher rating.

I’m very happy with this vacuum. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend, and my previous vacuums have all broken or blown up in the last month which sucked. I had purchased a dirt devil handheld and it burnt out after one heavy duty vacuuming session I didn’t anticipate. Three weeks of having it. My other one got a giant sock stuck in it and was not able to be reached to come out w out cutting the tubing. It is fall here in New York and it is rainy, muddy, and lots of shredded leaves everywhere. I have been out of my mind being unable to vacuum our apartment all this time. I finally ordered this vacuum yesterday, got it today, and I am already very happy. I used it immediately upon receipt and it was a dream. It rolled over hardwood floors very smoothly and picked up all sorts of crumbs in the kitchen. I used it in the bathroom to vacuum up stray hairs. I used it in my sons room to pick up spilled formula powder on the wood floor, and other dirt on his area rug. I used it in our master bedroom which is carpeted. I was able to clearly see dirt and particles being lifted off of a very low pile carpet. I used it in my living room and it picked up everything perfectly. I have lots of different flooring in my rental apartment. This thing was perfect. Even though it’s basically a handheld dust vac with a floor attachment, I never got the feeling that it was. The suction is very good, such that wherever I put that thing it sucked stuff up, even along the outer areas of the floor attachment. Ok rugs it works best going backward towards you, as it skips along the rug when pushed fwd but I jsut did it nice and slow and I am confident it was picking up dirt and hair. I even used it on a small shag rug. I did not detach the handheld for that option this time, but I fully intend to in the future. Although it was far more comfortable in its full upright mode. And it’s so lightweight and portable I don’t foresee using it as a handheld only very often. my pictures show what it looks like fully upright, up close, and the canister with contents after my very first use of it. I cannot even believe how much crap there was on my floors in just like a week of not vacuuming. I had been sweeping during that time and was grossed out seeing how much was actually on the floors despite that. I love having visuals like seeing the grossness in the canister lol. The bagless canister is convenient, I am used to vacuums like that and I know that they are very easy to clean and the filter is rinsable. I saw some reviews mention the length of the cord. I actually did not really have too much of a problem with that. I could have used it being 5 feet longer or more but Another 2 feet would not have mattered to me at all. Whether it’s 10 feet
Or 12ft wouldn’t make or break a vacuum session for me. Our apartment isn’t small but it’s nothing close to a house. I do have a million outlets all over my apartment so it really wasn’t difficult. It swivels nicely and I can totally get it into weird angles and zoom around the floors nicely. I plan to use it on my entryway and the stairs up to my apartment tomorrow. Those are completely destroyed from leaves and all sorts of crap. So far I am very happy with this purchase! Excellent price excellent suction, excellent results.
Update 2 weeks later: I use this vaccum about four times a week. I still use it on all sorts of surfaces like carpet, floor, stairs, entry way, play mat, couch, etc. I am still very happy w the suction and effectiveness of the vacuum. As I’ve used it more and more there are some annoyances that’s rent major but certainly worth mentioning: 1) the feature of just using it as a hand vac is impractical in my opinion. If I am vacuuming and decide I want to spot clean something w the hand vac option it is very cumbersome to achieve. Between the long handle piece and trying to yank out the floor attachment it ends up being far mor effort than is necessary when I jsut end up using the floor attachment on whatever. If I am going to use the hand vac alone it is from the beginning, not during a routine vacuuming. So I’d recommend doing it that way in general. 2) the swivel feature is fantastic but sometimes causes twisting and tangling of the cord around the lower part of the vacuum. Also if you want to lift the vacuum to move it while vacuuming it can often spin and you’re like twisting the whole thing around to get it back in line w itself. 3) the power switch being on the hand vac and fairly low down is a pain. I know there’s really no other way to do it but it is a little annoying. Otherwise though I am super happy w this purchase especially for the price. It is perfect for an apartment, or as a basement vacuum or for other smaller spaces that you don’t want to lug a giant heavy vacuum. I did clean the filter and canister once and it was very easy. The filter dried by the window in about two hours. I still love it and totally recommend it.
UPDATE 2/12 months later**** still loving it. I use it about every other day. I’ve cleaned the filter many times no issues. Suction still seems good. It’s been picking up small Christmas tree pine needles perfectly. It does not like hair embedded into carpet, even low pile. I had a baby a few months ago and my hair is starting to shed horribly now. I get insane about stepping on hair so I vacuum a lot. But I thought it was picking up hair on the rug in our living room and just for sh*ts and giggles I took tape and used it on the rug to see, and basically every hair I’ve ever shed was still in the carpet. Hardwood floor? Yes no problem but carpets no. At least now I know lol. Otherwise it’s just a simple and generally effective little vacuum. Still recommend

There were issues with delivery, due to the storm that hit New York State and Eastern Canada around Christmas and the item was delayed. The seller worked with me to rectify the situation. Have since received the item and it works great! Exactly as advertised. Easy to use and great for someone with mobility issues
