vacbin.com has Logan show how to maintain and troubleshoot the Eureka Airspeed One. The full review and more information can be found on the VacBin website.
Logan......You are THE MAN... the suction on the top was jammed and the debris flew out, it's working like new. I wish I could like this vid a billion times.
Thank you so much! Ive been having a lot of issues with my vacuum and almost tossed it and bought another. Then I saw this video. Turns out a sock was jammed in the tube for floors. Thank you so much! I never thought to look there!
I absolutely love mine. probably one of the best vacuums I have ever used. Its lightweight and simple to switch from doing the floors to using the tools.
Hi Logan, although the vacuum looks identical I've not found on the hose issue anything to put the vacuum on dawdle or seen any disk going around. What did happen when I put the canister back on the hose worked beautifully, as well as it does on the floor, which brings to mind I'm on tile floors so since you mentioned the right height adjustment I put mine on two from one just to see I'm playing around at present with it as it's new, on it's 3rd use, so your video is very helpful and appreciated.
I have another Eureka and although it's a different model, I was able to see that my small suction nozzle was severely clogged. I unscrewed it and was able to FULLY clean it out and it works brand new again.
Any tips for how to lock the internal filter back into place? We were shaking the dust out of the yellow part that extends down and the upper filter portion came loose. Thanks!
IF the vacuum is blowing dust as it's sucking up MOST of the debris, make sure the soft filter pad is clean AND take some duct tape and seal the connection points (there's 2) where the bucket attatches to the body/frame of vacuum . I did this , and mine started working like a charm ..( it finally SUCKS !!!...instead of "it sucks" )
These vacuums are incredibly delicate. Putting it together brand new, I snapped a clip that hold the dust cup in. You can't just buy the clip either. Eureka sends you to a independent parts retailer online and you need to buy the entire setup which is like $40. For a part that you need to take off and dump out repeatedly, I would assume that it be made of something stronger than extremely thin plastic. That was all before I ever used it once. I bought a velcro strap to hold the dust cup in place and it somewhat works, but then after using the vacuum 5 times, it shuts off after 2 or 3 minutes of vacuuming. I'm not vacuuming up marbles or anything either. lol. Just the normal daily thing. Such a waste of money. Go with Hoover for a way better vacuum around the same price.
Do you know what to do if the vacuums doesn't turn on anymore? I was vacuuming and it just shut off and will not power on anymore. I checked the plug and the power button... It doesn't turn on...
I've used my air speed one 3 times and the last two it makes the loudest ear screaching sound I've ever heard. I'm not a happy camper because I've only used it 3 times.
I have a eureka airspeed one model AS2013The suction dial to turn to floors and tools is hard to spin.I have looked in it and their is a lot of dust could that be why it is hard to move? I don't want to buy a new eureka vacuum
Replaced a broken belt and swapped the brush roller while I was at it. Still twice as loud and the same burning smell. Brushes still rolling and unit is cleaning though. Any thoughts?
i can feel suction and the brush is moving but it's not picking anything up :( this is a brand new vacuum only my 2nd time using it the first time it worked perfect but now it won't pick up anything
My Airspeed One is INSANELY LOUD. I changed the belt today (which had snapped) and although it now has suction, it is still just as loud. Any suggestions as to why this is?
Stephanie Santos same I've had other vacuums over time and this one is the loudest one I have ever had it's so bad that I rough sweep the carpet to avoid using it I was hoping for help too
I have a problem with my Airspeed One, and hopefully you can help me. Everytime I turn on the unit alot of dust blows out from the area where the canister and the tool/floor knob connect.
Sounds like the seal is broken or missing. Check for a rubber seal where the canister and the body meet. If it's broken or missing either replace it with a generic, or call Eureka and see if they can sell you a replacement.
+Emmanuel Martinez Ours broke the second time. I read a few other people saying the same thing. I say...this vacuum SUCKS (and not in the good way) :( Glad we didnt pay for it. It was a wedding present.
I have one of these BRAND NEW and it's as loud as a jet engine when I turn it on. To the point where I can't use it, it hurts my ears and scares my neighbors! All the moving parts work fine and has great suction... so why is it so loud? I literally just put it together
wouldn't turn on at all but i fixed it. this will damage your pedal. while plugged in i popped off the foot pedal which will break a tiny piece inside the button but then I pressed the button down inside with my finger several times and it came back to life.
The real question is how do you take off the handle at the top? Trying to return mine and it will not detach for the life of me. It's too tall now ti fit in it's box lol.
+Nicole Robinson The problem is with 2 Black tabs underneath the unit. They are jamming the ability for the handle release to allow the vacuum to lean back. Turn the unit upside down and examine the bottom just underneath/below the floor brush. Right around the wheel area if you look closely you will see 2 black tabs on hinges that rock back and forth. Those are blocking the unit from leaning back as the "MotorBall" section on the vacuum has to notched edges that stick out and catch these tabs. If the notches go too far past the rocking tabs, it will block the unit from leaning back. This happens when you hit the vacuum too hard against something or force the vacuum too hard to the upright position. My wife did this and it took me some time to figure this problem out. A long flat screwdriver can be used the pry the tabs back into place, or, you can pop them completely out, lean the vacuum back, then pop them back in again. Hope this helps!
Mine was doing fine until it all of a sudden got really loud and vibrates at the foot pedal. The brushes and suction work just fine so I'm not sure what happened. My guess is I'm going to have to open it up.
what about the red part (the inner filter inside the cup)? not one single video or website discusses how to clean that separate filter, yet mine is filthy. It's also causing blockage. Does it need to come out or can the whole thing be washed?
fixed it anyway. while plugged in i popped off the foot button push which will break the pedal. but then I pressed the button down inside with my finger several times and it came back to life.
ok so get for a dirty filter because that can over heat the vacuum and maybe kill it If that is not the issue and wash it if you can but if that is not a help go to me channel and ill help p.s wait 24-48 hrs for it to dry the filter outside if not raining
There is no power going to the vacuum. I tuned it off to empty the canister, and then it would not work. What is wrong with it? How could it just stop working like that?
Just callled the numnuts at eureka customer service asking how to clean out the filter SCREEN (clear mesh) in the large section that fits in the larger dust cup/canister. On fone almost 40 minutes..they know nothing!! ZEro...floor supervisor same.. And this video didn’t even mention the filter screen...geez..
I got this brand new on Black Friday 30-35 bucks I think. I turned it on, and noticed the brushes were not spinning. After removing the 4 screws on the top of the vacuum. I was able to pry the bottom cover off, and sure enough there was a brand new belt laying in there and it was broke. I'm returning this piece of shit. I'll spend 100-150 on something decent.
What did you end up buying? I'm sure you have found something by now but if not check out your local vac shop. 150 bones can go a long way on a badass used one like a sanitaire.
+Amanda Palmer you're gonna wanna pour the water on to the end of the plug that goes into the wall socket and make sure that your wall socket gets at least 4ounces of water poured onto it and then go ahead and plug it in make sure that the vacuums power switch is turned on you're gonna want all that electricity flowing through the vacuum and through your hand into your body that will really do the trick. next you might want to consult a physician. you should also try a wet/dry vac or a shop vac if you're trying to suck up water.. another alternative would be mopping up the water.. you could also just try not putting water in your vacuum unless you enjoy being possibly electrocuted or just ruining your vacuums suction there is a good chance that a small amount of water being sucked into your vacuum won't hurt but putting water into your vacuum the question doesn't even make sense.
Right in the event horizon. You can tell where this is with a few handy details: 1. notice light being bent and pulled into the abyss like aperture; 2. look for time and space being blended together like a nice tapioca pudding; And last but not least notice matter being compressed into a nearly infinitely dense mass! When you use these three handy dandy details you'll be sure to have found that wiley event horizon! Once located go ahead and proceed to the adding of water (or other water soluble liquids). Please note DO NOT ADD MORE THAN 978 TRILLION GALLONS! It's really easy to add a bit too much so remember to bring your universal measuring cup. Remember to have fun filling your vacuum with perfectly harmless water!
Thank you for this video! I was growing frustrated with my vacum, but these simple checks from the video fixed my issues.
Logan......You are THE MAN... the suction on the top was jammed and the debris flew out, it's working like new. I wish I could like this vid a billion times.

great detail breakdown, this vac is pretty good, I've had it a few years. maintenance is crucial !
Thanks for the help! Stair attachment working great again.
Thanks so much for this video. I have a similar model and this helped me find what was clogging our machine.
Nice job Logan, Very helpful !
this is exactly the video I needed to see!
I absolutely love mine. probably one of the best vacuums I have ever used. Its lightweight and simple to switch from doing the floors to using the tools.
Video helped me repair my vacuum thanks!

Thank you for the video - had the same problem a lot of these viewers did with the passageway on the floor mode. Entirely back up with pet hair, etc.
^backed up
Good tutorial. Thank you!

You da man! Helped me with a few things on my powerspeed
You are so adorable and so helpful! Thank you! Found out I need to replace my belt!
very helpful video
how do you change the belt in a eureka as2011?
Thanks Logan! Don't why I didn't think of the belt! I'm sure that's it!
Any tips for how to lock the internal filter back into place? We were shaking the dust out of the yellow part that extends down and the upper filter portion came loose. Thanks!

I am having a problem. How do you adjust the tension bar for the belt on a Eureka Airspeed AS1061
Decent cheap vacuum. Thanks for the vid, kid.
Thank you so much!
I vacuumed up a soft toy! How can I get it out between the rollers?
i put my handle on backwards, and I'm catching hell trying to take it off ,without breaking it. any suggestions on taking it off?
Im not sure if i have my inner green filter in right inside the canister...please help!
I've used my air speed one 3 times and the last two it makes the loudest ear screaching sound I've ever heard. I'm not a happy camper because I've only used it 3 times.
Shawn Whitehurst You just need a new belt.

Kicker774 _ Sounds like a bad motor, give Eureka a call and see if they'll replace it.

This vacuum's belt broke the first day using it. Any idea if there's a quick fix without having to get a new belt?
Emmanuel Martinez No, just buy a new belt.

+Adam Menist how do you take it part? I cant get mine I just like to take mine part sometimes and I cant get it

just rinse it and dry it, common sense.

+Kiara Williams does the wall work?
Yes it does...I just bought another one....threw the other out...

He says to wash the top filter every month😳
I have to clean mine at least every other week

Where do I put water in my vacuum

Based off the comments this seems like a piece of shit vacuum
Don't buy, garbage!
great detail breakdown, this vac is pretty good, I've had it a few years. maintenance is crucial !
