It’s never an easy task to choose the best upright vacuum cleaner for your home.
Are you getting all the right features? Are you spending your money wisely? Will this be the vacuum to rid you of that stubborn dirt that’s been lingering for too long already?
We decided to give you a helping hand and put the newest Eureka and Bissell models to the test. Who came out shining? Read on to find out.
Round one – Weight
Eureka
With a weight of just 10lb, the Eureka is a lightweight and portable vacuum that you can easily get up and down staircases. It’s perfect for those spillages that require immediate attention, and it’s not too heavy on the back.
Bissell
This Bissell model weighs 15lb, making it 50% heavier than its Eureka counterpart, and therefore requires more strength when hoisting it around the house. Whilst this isn’t necessarily a problem, it can make it much harder to manoeuvre throughout your home.
Winner?
We know how important the weight of something can be, so if you’re looking for lightweight and easy maneuverability, the Eureka tops the chart here as it’s much more portable than the Bissell.

Round two – dirt collection
Eureka
With its dust collection cup capacity of a whopping 4.1l, the Eureka stands strong and makes sure that every speck of dust can and will be sucked up.
It is a fantastic feature, which allows you to empty the dust cup less often. However, don’t forget that the more dirt a vacuum can store, the heavier it will become. It could make portability a problem for those who want something lighter.
Bissell
Unfortunately, the Bissell lags slightly, with a dust collection capacity of just 2l, which is half of what the Eureka can store.
While this does indeed mean less weight to carry, we know already that the Bissell outweighs the Eureka in the first place.
However, the Bissell’s dirt tank is easily cleaned, making the whole affair much easier. You’re more likely to empty the tank more regularly, ensuring a cleaner vacuum overall.
Winner?
It looks like Eureka takes the gold star again for the dirt collection. It sucks up much more debris than the Bissell, and you don’t need to spend as much time cleaning it out, either.
Round three – accessories
Eureka
The Eureka boasts several high-quality accessories to help speed up your cleaning while keeping it as powerful as possible.
Conveniently stored right on board the vacuum, the 7in crevice tool, dusting brush, and upholstery tool helps to clean all those hard-to-reach areas with ease. These accessories are built to be used on a range of your homewares, including in your car, around doorframes, on ceilings, and furniture. Pet hair and embedded dirt have nowhere to hide from these fantastic accessories. A quick-release handle connected to the stretch hose also gives you the power over all the above-floor cleaning.
Bissell
With its innovative brush design, the Bissell is equipped with fantastic accessories to ensure your home gets the thorough clean it deserves.
The Bissell’s turbo brush rotates down into the carpet to ensure a deeper cleaning on the first pass and is perfect for your stairs, furniture, upholstery, and more. The Bissell also comes with a 6in hose length, so you can reach those hard-to-grasp nooks and crannies to ensure the deepest clean ever.
Winner?
It’s a clear win for the Eureka this round, with its multiple, easy-to-find accessories that can be swapped around with ease depending on your cleaning needs.
Round four – power
Eureka
Eureka has power, that’s for sure. It runs off of 120V, 960W, and 8A to give an outstandingly strong suction all over your home.
And, when combining the suction power of the Eureka with its dynamic brush roll and motor, you’ll be able to lift even the most stubborn dirt quickly and easily.
Bissell
The Bissell houses a cyclonic system for that long-lasting extra power and suction that almost can’t be beaten. Combined with an innovative brush design, the Bissell will easily remove stubborn dirt and debris from between your carpet fibers.
Not only that, but the Bissell is so smart that it can separate dirt and debris easily for the filter, meaning that it lasts that bit longer and stays that bit cleaner. That’s less work for you.
Winner?
This time it’s the Bissell that takes the crown, with its unbeatable suction power that works with its accessories to thoroughly clean the home as well as its ingenious separation technique that keeps your filters cleaner for longer.
Round five – extras
Eureka
The Eureka has a 5-height adjustment feature that ensures that your floor type is cleaned with precision. Combined with its smooth wheels, you can rest assured that your hardwood floors won’t be sustaining scratches and that your vacuum can glide easily from hardwood floors to carpets and even shag rugs.
Bissell
The Bissell 9595A Upright Vacuum comes as standard with washable foam tank filter, meaning you have to spend less on new replacement filters over time, because they only need to be replaced when they’re completely worn out.
It is a handy feature, as filters can be costly.
Winner?
It’s hard to pick a winner when both extra features are important ones and can depend so much on personal preferences, so we’ll leave this one a draw and crown both the Eureka and the Bissell winner in this area.
Crowning the ultimate champion
It’s clear to see that the Eureka NEU182A Upright Vacuum is our champion vacuum cleaner.
With its lightweight and portable body which houses all of its fantastic accessories, as well as a victory sweeping dust collector that would allow anyone to clean their home twice before it needs to be emptied, the Eureka is everything you could need for a powerful clean that gets the job done without any fuss.
With this vacuum cleaner, your home will be cleaner than it ever has been before, with less hassle and more winning features.
