Eureka Brushroll Clean Vacuum

Eureka Brushroll Clean Vacuum

What's to love: The vacuum cleaner is made with a handy device that removes hair, threads and other items from the brushroll with a touch of a button.

What does it do: Ever had to cut hair or threads wrapped around the cleaning brushroll on a vacuum cleaner? It's a messy job. Eureka has come up with a clever way to do it without ever touching the brush. A user only needs to press a pedal for about 10 seconds while the machine is running. Tangles are removed and go directly into the dust cup. Voila -- a clean brushroll. In addition to the brushroll cleaner, the vacuum has a 27-foot retractable cord, a turbo nozzle for stairs and upholstery and a crevice tool. The vacuum cleaner sells for $198.
