Eureka NES100
Score: 75/100
Black+Decker PowerSeries+ 20V Max
Score: 69/100Rankings
The Eureka NES100 is a lightweight corded stick vacuum that converts to handheld mode and offers a 0.7 L bagless dust cup with a washable foam filter. Its modest motor power and plastic construction limit deep-carpet performance, but continuous power and excellent maneuverability make it ideal for quick clean-ups in apartments, cars and small homes.
The BLACK+DECKER BHFEA520J 20V MAX cordless stick provides up to 44 minutes of runtime, AUTOSENSE suction adjustment, and LED illumination in a budget-friendly package. Its longer charge time and limited accessories are trade-offs. Great for apartment dwellers seeking affordable cordless convenience.

Professional reviewers commend the NES100 for its feather-light weight, reliable corded suction, and versatile 3-in-1 design, noting it handles crumbs, pet hair, and hard-floor debris admirably. However, they caution that its 240-248 W motor lacks the power needed for deep carpet cleaning, and the plastic construction gives it a budget feel, making it best suited for spot cleaning rather than heavy daily use.
Everyday users consistently praise the vacuum's portability, instant plug-in readiness, and ease of storage, finding it ideal for quick clean-ups in cars, stairs, and small apartments. Common complaints revolve around limited suction on thicker carpets, occasional assembly quirks, and concerns about the plastic build and ambiguous cord length.
“"surprising" 240 W power for a budget model (above typical 150 W)”
“"no way" for daily carpets”
“Reliable for carpets/hard floors/tiles without recharging”
Professional reviewers commend the BHFEA520J for its cyclonic filtration, auto-adjusting suction and effective hair removal, positioning it as a strong value-oriented cordless stick. They note the solid 44-minute runtime but criticize the relatively long charge time, limited accessory set and a weight that is higher than the lightest competitors.
Everyday users love the lightweight, cordless convenience and the vacuum's ability to tackle carpet, hardwood and pet hair with ease. Common praise centers on the LED lights, anti-tangle brush and easy-to-empty dustbin, while recurring complaints focus on the five-hour charge time, limited accessories and battery life that may not cover larger homes.
