Eureka Blaze NES212
Eureka's Blaze is a compact corded stick vacuum that pulls the handheld unit off the tube for above-floor jobs — car interiors, stairs, upholstery — then clips back on for regular floor cleaning. At 4 pounds it's genuinely light, swivel steering helps it duck around furniture legs, and the 3-liter bin is bigger than most stick vacuums this size. Eureka doesn't publish a suction figure in watts or air watts for this model, only a 0.32 horsepower motor rating, so it's hard to compare directly against AW-rated competitors — treat it as an appliance for quick pickups rather than a primary carpet vacuum. Because it's corded rather than battery-powered, you get unlimited runtime but also an 18-foot cord to manage and an outlet to stay near, which is different from most vacuums marketed as a '2-in-1 stick and handheld.' The washable cyclonic filter keeps running costs low, but there's no HEPA claim and it's rated at 80 dB, which is on the louder side for something this small. At under $45 it's priced as a secondary vacuum — a dorm room, car, or quick-cleanup tool — not a whole-home replacement.
