Product Information

Full details

The Eureka NEC490SE cordless vacuum is designed for busy households seeking an efficient and convenient way to maintain a dust-free environment. Its key benefit is the powerful, long-lasting cordless cleaning with an automated dust-emptying docking station, reducing manual effort. A potential caveat is its 0.6L dust capacity in the main unit, which may require more frequent emptying for larger homes. This vacuum offers a 350W motor, up to 60 minutes of runtime, a 5-stage HEPA filtration system, and a 3L bagged docking station for hygienic disposal and extended dust holding.
