I’ve loved to cook since I was a kid, but one thing my parents can tell you is that I’ve never been particularly good at the cleaning-up part. One chore I routinely put off? Sweeping.
I don’t mind the actual sweeping itself; it’s the bending down to try to collect everything into the dustpan and still having some remnants left behind that I don’t like. Recently, though, I came across a product that solves this problem. And while I won’t tell you I suddenly love sweeping, the EyeVac Air has made it less of a hassle — and that’s a win in my book.
What You Should Know About the EyeVac Air 2-in-1 HEPA Air Purifier and Touchless Vacuum
EyeVac has made a name for itself with touchless and cordless vacuums. The EyeVac Air is one of three touchless vacuums the brand offers. The appliance has an opening at the bottom to directly sweep crumbs, dust, hair, and dirt into, and it will instantly vacuum it up — no bending down or trips to the trash can required. You can set it to automatic or manual. In manual mode, it will vacuum when you press the activate button; in automatic mode, it will vacuum anytime its infrared sensor is triggered.
Plus, the EyeVac Air also has a built-in air purifier. In fact, it’s the only one of the three touchless vacuums from the brand that does. The brand states it can snatch 99.7% of pollutants from the air — something that makes me feel better while I’m sweeping up the dust from my floor. And yes, the vacuum and the air purifier can run at the same time.
The EyeVac Air is the most expensive of the three models at $249. And while I believe it’s worth it, the EyeVac Home is $169 if you’re wanting something a little more affordable and don’t need the air purifier feature.
My Honest Review of the EyeVac Air 2-in-1 HEPA Air Purifier and Touchless Vacuum
Initially, I wasn’t sure what I’d think of this appliance. Could the EyeVac Air truly make me not dread sweeping? The answer is yes, it actually has improved my kitchen-sweeping experience.
I like the automatic mode best. The motion sensor at the bottom is pretty sensitive, so as soon as my broom came close, it immediately started vacuuming. And when I moved the EyeVac Air after I was done, there weren’t any crumbs or spots of dust left behind like I would typically have with a dustpan. Plus, the compartment that collects all the yucky stuff is super easy to remove, dump out, and put back — something I find isn’t true on every standard vacuum.
The air purifier component is a cool addition to this appliance, especially while I’m sweeping. While it won’t replace the dedicated air purifier in my living room, which gives me a read on the air quality, it is just as quiet as my other unit.
The EyeVac Air comes in four sleek colorways. And though it is on the pricey side, it has changed my attitude toward sweeping. I actually kind of look forward to it now, and that feels like progress.
