Eureka SuctionSeal PET Vacuum Review & Giveaway

Thanks to the folks at Eureka for providing us with one of their new Eureka SuctionSeal PET vacuums at no cost for a review and another for a giveaway to our readers!

Eureka claims that their SuctionSeal PET Vacuum is proven to clean carpets better than Dyson DC25 and DC41 for less than half the price. Having tested (and been quite pleased with) a Dyson in the past, our interest was piqued.

Assembly

I readied myself with a Phillips screwdriver in order to complete the minor assembly required only to learn that all of the pieces snap tightly together. Nice!

Performance

Quite honestly, I was blown away by the results! The vacuum's SuctionSeal and AirSpeed technologies have to be the secret behind the vacuum's superior performance.

The suction is amazing! It sucked up infinitesimal bits of dirt and fur that had to have been embedded deep in our carpet, and the suction remained sealed as we moved the vacuum from the living room carpet to the kitchen's tile floor. A fine, powdery, dirt quickly began to fill the vacuum's "dust cup." And here I thought the floor was clean before we started...Wrong!

By far, the SuctionSeal PET gave the best performance by any vacuum we've tried to date. We are officially "Wowed!"

Our favorite features

SuctionSeal Technology
Retractable cord
39 foot reach with cord and wand
PET Power Paw upholstery brush
Bagless
HEPA filter with odor absorbing charcoal (great for pet odors!)

You can purchase the Eureka SuctionSeal PET Vacuum for $199.99 on the Eureka website.

I want to win because I have three pets and we need to clean their pet hair better than we are able to. Your product seems better able to than what we have at present. I would love to have the opportunity to try it out and spread the word, when I see that it works well!!!

[Kytti]

Would love to win one of these, with 8 foster cats we always need to vaccum!

[Naomi Kessel]

We just moved into a one-level townhome. We used to have a 4-level house and the cats litterbox was in the bathroom off the familyroom. Now the litterbox is in the laundryroom and even though he covers his litter there is so much dust all over the house from tracking it. I would love one of these. Sounds like it would pick up the litter dust

I am a walking hairball. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love to win this vacuum because we have lots of cats in the house, their fur is everywhere!

[Nick Tefoglou]

I have two active dogs that leave their fur everywhere throughout the house, this Eureka vacuum would help me clean it up.

[Stewart Peirce]

I have a thirty year old canister vacuum which desperately needs replacing.

[Kimberly Barnett]

I need to win because I am a Regestered Vet Tech and along with my two cats and dog at home, many more animals come in and out of my house for treatment and loving! :)

[Angela DeGennaro]

I have two Cane Corso,(Italian Mastiffs) who are my fur kids & live in the house like all dogs deserve to. I love them more than anything but big dogs = lots of dog hair, dander, dust, etc. I have multiple allergies but there is NO WAY that I am kicking my big babies outside! So, I do the best that I can to keep the house clean. I want to win this Eureka vacuum because it is awesome! It would help me so much to keep my house cleaner, the air fresher & my allergies under control. I have an old Eureka vacuum & it has served me very well but it just about ready to retire. I just hope that it gives me two weeks notice first & that I win this new one!

I'm in dire need of a "Eureka" moment with 3 rescue cats residing in our construction company's office. Mix mud on work boots with cat hair and the site supervisor looks like he's wearing Uggs. You say it's better than the Dyson - I want to prove it!

[Mrs. Mary M. Braunlich]

With 2 Maine Coon cats and 1 German Shorthaired Pointer, the phrase "cat/dog hair is a condiment" in our house is a given. We would definitely love a vacuum that could handle the tumbleweeds that roll around our home!

[Barb Fournier]

With 3 rescue chihuahuas sharing my home there's always hair everywhere. Even tho they're short-haired, they shed constantly. I would love to win the Eureka vacuum to keep the hair under control....besides I love the name and the tv show. :)

[John Falk]

Just the thought of a quality vacuum that truly sucks up dog hair and dirt from our carpets and kitchen floor, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up and cheer. Even our three dogs seem happier at the thought, as well. Thanks for a wisp of hope to win.

[Jennifer Farnum]

I foster dogs and the hair is never ending! My old clunky vacuum can't handle it all!

[P. hands]

I have a Dyson and it doesn't get up all the hair or dust. Do I want to try the proven Eureka!

[P. hands]

I have the Dyson and it doesn't get all the hair! I want the proven Eureka! I believe in it.

[Adrianna Hartley]

Wow. This sounds like an awesome product. I would love to win one of these! I currently have an 11 month old golden retriever who sheds like mad! All of my clothing currently is covered in little gold hairs as well as the entire interior of my car! He is the best dog you could ever ask for, doesn't have a fear of ANYTHING (including power tools!) but gets antsy when I pull out the vaccuum even to get all those little gold hairs off me. It doesn't help now that the vaccuum that I was using literally fell apart, as the piping disconected from the body (but it was over 20 years old, and using the handyman's secret weapon, I am still able to use it, but it would be nice to have something that isn't held together by tape and spit, literally!)
Its great that you've posted this contest - thanks for the opportunity- and its great to hear a great review about a product that already sounds amazing!
Thanks Secret Shopper. I've trusted your input on several different products, you haven't let me down yet! Thanks from both me and Yukon!
