Design and options
Our story begins with the meeting of the Eureka Omniverse. You’ve received 9 items in whole (plus a few screws) that will likely be required to get you up and operating.
One out-of-the-box shock I discovered with the Eureka Omniverse is the documentation. Not solely is the instruction guide effectively carried out, however there are just a few useful infographics all through the package deal. It’s a refreshing change from plenty of the electronics & home equipment I’ve reviewed currently. You will have quick-start guides printed proper on the field, for instance, in addition to a cling tag that reveals you find out how to function the important thing options.
Are they overkill? Perhaps. Nevertheless it reveals some consideration to element that I admire.
The ground nozzle meeting is the bottom in your beastie. This setup consists of and LED headlight for higher visibility as you do work. The clear entrance face of the unit and vibrant pink/purple shade make it simple to see hair if one thing will get caught within the chamber or wrapped across the cylinder.
Right here’s a shot of the underside, boasting a “tangle free” brush curler design. There’s a launch tab right here (proven under, left) that you simply push to unlock that little bit of molded plastic on the left hand aspect. This lets you pull the curler utterly freed from the unit for cleansing.
The pole meeting will get inserted into the bottom, and the deal with will get inserted into the pole system. That is the one little bit of meeting that requires any instruments, as there are two screws on the deal with that safe it to these rails.
The center of the machine comes subsequent with the canister meeting. This part consists of your controls, your filters, the motor, the mud collector, and so on.
The canister meeting will get inserted into the ground nozzle meeting, then slides again with an audible “click on” to lock into the body. The purple button you see on the prime of this choose then unlocks it for software use as we’ll see shortly.
One of many distinctive options of the Eureka Omniverse is that the canister meeting slides up and down the rails. You possibly can run it with the canister down low as proven right here…
… however for those who push that yellow button and provides the deal with a agency tug…
… the canister is now within the raised place, permitting you to get deep beneath furnishings as proven within the function pic for this text.
Right here’s your management panel. You’ve received an influence button and a button to change between the carpet and ground mode. Whenever you’re in carpet mode, the comb spins up at the next RPM, whereas it slows down in ground mode in lieu of extra suction energy.
Your equipment come subsequent. You’ll get a crevice software for vacuuming corners and crevices.
You additionally get a mixture dusting brush/upholstery software. This has a nozzle head with a felt foot proven on the prime left of the pic under, or you’ll be able to press that button on the midpoint to slip the comb head ahead.
You’ll additionally get a motorized pet and stair software with a rotating brush. It appears like a miniature model of the unit’s ground nozzle meeting.
To make use of any of the equipment, you’ll take away the canister from the body. You possibly can plug both the crevice software or the dusting brush/upholstery software proper into the bottom of the canister, or connect the hose to the canister first then connect the instruments to the hose as proven under.
The motorized pet & stair software have to be connected to the canister instantly, because it requires the connection to energy the comb.
You possibly can then maneuver the unit from the canister deal with as proven under.
To get to the mud chamber & filters, you pinch the mud cup launch buttons on the entrance of the unit as proven under. The entire filter system and dirt cup come unfastened for cleansing.
Emptying is straightforward. Push the large button on the base of the mud cup to launch, and the collected gunk falls proper out when the seal drops.
The HEPA filter, mud cup filters, and dirt separator are all simple to get to with a few twists for cleansing as wanted.
Construct high quality all through the unit is okay. Many of the parts really feel strong and fairly sturdy, however some corners had been clearly reduce within the ending particulars. Take the canister port the place you plug in your equipment for instance. There’s no information slot to your instruments. You simply form of shove them in there on the lookout for the slot to catch the tab on the attachment.
A better look reveals that there’s a tab reduce into the port, however you’ll be able to’t see it except you look intently.
The principle parts all look fairly strong. The seals look good on the canister, suction energy is nice, and the canister meeting feels effectively constructed. The wheels work tremendous with out getting caught, and the comb heads are lots highly effective. It simply looks like some particulars had been misplaced on the secondary cleansing modes.
One vital observe about equipment: the vacuum hose and motorized pet/stair software would not have a storage slot on the vacuum. You’ll must retailer them individually.
Efficiency
The Eureka Omniverse Vacuum Cleaner has some actually robust design parts, however there are some areas that would use for enchancment relying on how you plan to make use of it.
The “lay flat” furnishings mode is fairly nice. Try the way it will get deep beneath my son’s bedframe. You’ll must do some leaning to get down there, but it surely does a pleasant job getting low & soiled to get beneath furnishings.
The attachments crevice software and dusting brish/upholstery software additionally work effectively with the hose on the canister. Each have good energy and are very maneuverable.
I even used the comb software on my crops!
We did discover that each of these attachments are brief. There’s no extension pole for the attachments, and the canister doesn’t stand by itself. This implies you can be doing a bending over or reaching to get into corners whereas hauling the canister round along with your different hand.
That may be slightly irritating, and it factors to among the design particulars which are only a bit off. Right here I used to be utilizing the comb software to scrub out my kitchen drawers. The comb is nice for this, however I’m nonetheless hauling the canister round my kitchen as a result of it needs to be disconnected from the bottom to connect the hose. I’d like to see some toes on the canister and an extended hose to be used in conditions like this.
You could possibly connect the instruments proper to the canister, but it surely’s not tremendous gentle. My spouse commented on this when utilizing the motorized pet hair and stair software. Whereas the attachment is superior for pet hair, it’s a bit heavy for one-handed motion relying in your energy stage.
The twin deal with design does make it simple for two-handed maneuvering, however the brief pole on the attachment head makes this a bit onerous to maneuver round. “It seems like a exercise” was the precise quote from my spouse.
It simply form of feels just like the attachment setup wants extra of that ending we mentioned earlier. An extension pole and a barely longer hose would go a great distance in the direction of fixing this stuff.
Having mentioned all that, the fundamentals are nonetheless very robust. Along with the horizontal trick, the vacuum head has a little bit of pitch and swivel to it that permits for simple entry to that area beneath your counters as proven under.
One of many unit’s strongest options is its outstanding job of catching and retaining pet hair. The filters work nice, and the suction is superb. Have a look at all that junk from my pooch we collected.
It’s additionally simple to get the canister out of the body to haul round, and straightforward to empty and clear.
Simply ensure you unhook the ability twine earlier than you attempt to take away the canister!
I’ve zero points thus far with typical each day driving duties, nor have we seen any put on and tear points after a number of weeks of normal use. It additionally has one of many longest energy cords I’ve seen on a vacuum at 30 toes, which is superb for shifting round with out having to unplug and replug the vacuum. It’s additionally nice for maneuvering on stairs and utilizing the attachments to get round to corners of the rooms.
