The Eureka ReactiSense 440 uses a 350W brushless motor that delivers strong, consistent suction on both hardwood and area rugs. Its intelligent sensing technology automatically adjusts suction and brush roll speed based on dust levels and floor type, which means it goes gentle on your oak floors but ramps up when it hits a rug. The anti-tangle brush roll employs specialized fins and comb strips to guide hair away in real time, preventing clogs that sap suction.

Battery runtime reaches up to 60 minutes in low mode, covering roughly 1,614 square feet on a single charge—enough for most multi-room homes with hardwood. The sealed H13 HEPA filter traps 99.95% of microparticles and odors, ensuring no dust escapes back onto your freshly cleaned floors. At 6.4 pounds, it is light enough to carry up and down stairs without strain.

Owners consistently highlight the strong suction and smart auto mode. Some note the battery drains faster on auto mode than expected, but the runtime still satisfies a full home clean. The motorized brush glides smoothly on hard floors and picks up fine dust and pet hair with one pass.
