Eureka FloorRover NEU562A Features and Specifications
Eureka FloorRover NEU562A is powered with strong 10 Amps (1200 Watts) motor and 30 feet (~9.2 m) long power cord. Unit doesn't feature automatic power cord rewind system - power cord is manually wrapped around cable wrap hooks.
Eureka FloorRover NEU562A weighs ~19 pounds (~8.6 kg) with the power cable and all accessories being onboard. With power cord on the floor, and cleaning attachments being 'offloaded', unit weighs 16.75 pounds (~7.6 kg).
Personally, keep onboard tools onboard and don't worry too much about the weight - unit has extra large wheels and excellent full swivel mechanism, making it very maneuverable, regardless of the surface.
Eureka FloorRover NEU562A is designed for cleaning various surfaces commonly found at home like hardwood floors, laminate, carpets, area rugs, tiles etc. Also, it features 12 feet (~3.65 m) stretch flexible cleaning hose, allowing the user to clean elevated surfaces with available cleaning attachments.
Main cleaning nozzle is 12.5 inches (slightly less than 32 cm) wide, allowing the user to clean large area rather quickly (again, it also features 30 feet power cord, and 10 Amps motor).
Main cleaning nozzle features belt-driven brushroll, allowing the unit to clean deeply embedded dust, pet and human hair, lint and other dirt even from thick carpets and area rugs. However, it doesn't feature LED headlights, which can be very helpful for spotting the dirt even during the daylight and for vacuuming in low light conditions.
For cleaning bare floors, brushroll can and should be turned off. Also, when the unit is in the upright position, brushroll doesn't spin - this protects the floors when the unit is used for vacuuming with the cleaning hose.
Eureka FloorRover NEU562A features brushroll indicator light which is positioned on the right side of the main floor nozzle, easily visible when the vacuum is used by right handed person. Left handed persons can have issues observing this brushroll indicator light.
Also, main cleaning nozzle doesn't feature edge bristles for additional cleaning of wall baseboard edges and similar surfaces - there is a slight gap between outer side of main cleaning nozzle and actual cleaning path of the brushroll. This gap is mostly negligible, but if required, such gaps an edges can be easily cleaned using crevice tool.
Main cleaning nozzle doesn't feature adjustable height - in order for the unit to clean properly, it is up to the user to increase or decrease the suction using mechanical valve. Also, if the unit is hard to move around, check main wheels, but first, try to decrease the suction.
Note: personally, I don't like mechanical air valves - having electronic controller would be better, since it would also decrease drawn current. Eureka FloorRower NEU562A is easy to use upright vacuum, but nonetheless, before the very first use, read the manual thoroughly.
Dirt bin is transparent, allowing the user to see type and amount of vacuumed dirt. Dirt bin volume is 1.6 liters allowing the unit to vacuum even large, heavily soiled surfaces, without the interruptions.
Dirt bin is quickly and easily emptied - it is recommended to empty it after each use.
Note: Eureka FloorRover NEU562A is designed for dry dirt only.
Eureka FloorRover NEU562A Air Filtration
According to the manufacturer, Eureka FloorRover NEU562A features true HEPA air filtration - unit captures at least 99.97% of 0.3 microns or larger particles.
Air filtration is based on cyclonic action, and three mechanical air filters:
- foam air filter,
- pre-motor air filter,
- HEPA post-motor exhaust air filter.
All air filters are washable - it is recommended to rinse them every three months (or even more often, depending on the use), dry them thoroughly and return them in the unit. Also, filters should be replaced at least once a year.
Note: never assemble the unit with wet/moist filters and never use the unit without filters.
Eureka FloorRover NEU562A Cleaning Attachments
Eureka FloorRover NEU562A comes with several cleaning attachments:
- 16 inches (~41 cm) long crevice tool is used for cleaning narrow and tight areas and gaps.
- pet turbo brush tool is motorized cleaning tool, used for deep cleaning of stairs, smaller carpets, upholstery and similar areas. Pet turbo brush tool must be periodically cleaned since it is not of 'tangle free' design.
- 2-in-1 upholstery tool is used for cleaning upholstery and similar surfaces. It uses brush bristles for cleaning surfaces that can't be cleaned with pet turbo brush tool due to the sensitivity or it uses felt for cleaning even more sensitive surfaces.
Eureka FloorRover NEU56* series of uprights are generally very similar vacuums, differing only in color and available cleaning attachments.
If required, other cleaning attachments can be ordered online. Some of them are flexible telescoping crevice tool with the brush, soft dusting brush, furniture tool, multi-angle adaptor, etc.
Long Story Short: Eureka FloorRover NEU562A comes with 5 year limited warranty, and it is the upright vacuum with cleaning hose that is able to clean surfaces from the floor to the ceiling. Eureka FloorRover NEU562A is far from being cheap vacuum, but considering the its features, it comes at very affordable price.
