I can't speak for the Eureka model, but I know that my wife is totally happy with this B&D; model. She uses it to clean up our hardwood floors in-between a "full-on" vacuuming with the large vacuum. It works great for picking up cat litter!

I don't know which has more power ....... I am very satisfied with the black & decker, very satisfied ...... I especially like the ball headed attachment ...... use it just about every other day because a cat lives in my house ...... it's dandy.

Don't waste your money! This POS takes 24 hours to charge & runs for maybe 5-7 min! It is a total piece of crap... If you want a hand-held that works, then: DirtTamer® Supreme V2400 Cordless Wet/Dry Hand Vac, is the answer. I do have one major complaint about it however. IT is LOUD! It is over 80db loud! When I first got it it was nearly 100db, it seems to have gotten a little more quiet. STILL LOUD, though! Forget that B&D...;

They are so different that it is hard to tell. The corded vac has the potential for more power if it was designed that way. But a problem with either for a floor area is that you would have to be on your hands and knees.

Get the corded unless you can clean with less then 5 mins of vacuum time after 24 hrs of charge.

Hi Deborah,I just looked at the nameplate on the back of the handle of the vacuum and it states it is 120 volts and 12 amps. I checked the specifications for the vacuum on the internet and there was no information to that effect listed. I think the nameplate should cover things tho. Hope it works for you.CJ

I read somewhere that Electrolux sold this line to Eureka. I do know my daughter cleans homes and she has one t says Electrolux. She told me about it in the fall of 2013. When I ordered it was called Eureka Mighty Mite. I hesitated about buying it because my first sweeper, 50 yrs. ago, was a Eureka and the suction on it was terrible. My daughter and I compared there and they are exactly the same except the name change. It has great suction. Love it for bare floors.

Watts = Amps x VoltsAll residential Vacs run on 120 Volts.Power used (watts) does not translate into the vacuuming power necessarily. I rely more upon practical considerations. The way the motor was constructed, the ducting, filtering of dust and dirt, all impact efficiency. One way to evaluate the power of a hand vac is the torque you feel in the hand that holds it when you first turn it on. The Scorpion's torque is massive for a hand vac. No battery driven vac can equal it.

Very light weight. I had a Hoover for 39 years and this is way lighter than that. I even look forward to vacuuming now. I also bought a Manual Bissell Sweeper for the everyday grass being tracked in, since our Texas grass is starting to grow. I used to have a battery SHARK sweeper, what a joke every time I wanted to use it, it needed to be charge. Don't buy anything that needs battery's ever.

If the vacuums were the Hand held Platnum collection, looks like they are the same.I just looked it up and saw a video on Amazon that said there the same.

It has a cord, which is what I prefer since we had a cordless one of a different brand before and the battery eventually died. We had an earlier model of this Eureka (also corded) and it lasted many years. This model has been improved with more power so it is a great lightweight vacuum that I use for quick vacuuming, but mostly for the stairs since it it light and not bulky.

Yes, the vacuum requires a 120VAC power source (plug). While that may be inconvenient for some, it provides a much better vacuum than a DC vacuum since it has more power.

Don't really know the difference, but this had got to be the most powerful hand vac I've ever owned. Super strong suction. It's corded, not battery

If we are talking about my backpack vacuum, the motor is 12 Amps. I have had the vacuum for a year or so and I am still very happy with it. Interesting thing, I found at least four different prices on what seemed to be the same machinePlenty powerful. Lots of suction. If you have lots of deeper rugs, a "power beater" vac may be a good supplement. I have 14 vacuums. (including a couple of shop-type vacs). This is my go to vac because it is so handy. It has a "beater type attachment, but obviously is not as strong as a belt driven one. Plenty powerful though..

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up. Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

This vacuum is great on hard surfaces for pet hair. If the pet hair is typically hard to vacuum up because it is on cloth or carpet, not so great. It works very good to pick up loose crumbs on carpet, though. I have two cats that shed and I wholeheartedly recommend, instead, the Eureka EasyClean 71B corded handheld vacuum for pet hair on furniture. It is the only vacuum that will pick up cat hair on my velour couches because of the strong suction and rotating brushes. It is extremely important to clean the filter to keep the suction strong on both of these handheld vacuums. The filter on this Black and Decker CHV1410L is underneath the green filter cover that twists off. The easiest and most effective way to clean the filters for me is to use a shop vac on them. Of course, any vacuum with a hose attachment would work.

Thank you! I have since repaired my old Dyson DC21 canister. I tried the new Dyson canister and it only has an air driven (not electric powered)rug brush. Useless for pet hair. I also tried the DC 65 upright. Nothing worked as well as the original. Although Dyson assured me air driven was more powerful, it was a joke.

I just purchased the Dyson 18, as my Oreck was not getting the job done on my shag carpet. For me it is easier to vacuum with the Dyson and it is amazing how much it picks up. So far I am very happy with it!

The dc40 is kinda like the cheaper more affordable model when compared to the dc41. Also depending on your needs of you have more carpet than hard floors I recommend getting the full size dc65 as it was made specifically to clean carpets better. Also the dc65 is a little bigger and more powerful but it also is almost two or three hundred dollars more than the dc40. Hope this helped!

I have the BV6600. It is soo easy to empty after you vacuum due to the slip bar. Its power is controlled by a dial enabling the user to pick up light objects only on low. On high it can pick up and shred small branches and seed pods.

I've had 2 Ergorapidos, The first one the battery died after 1 1/2 yr, not replaceable so throw away. The second one the brush broke and it no longer suctions, but I can still use the hand vac. I bought a wired hoover, it has strong suction but I keep getting tripped up with the cord. I'm now looking to buy the cordless linx. I love th ergo when its new but do not recommend as it needs to be replaced too often.
