If so, the EyeVac Stationary Vacuum<\/a> is just what your home needs. This touchless vacuum stays in one spot in your kitchen, living room or other messy location. When you push debris in front of it, the vacuum automatically sucks it up!\r\n\r\nAs a professional product tester, I've reviewed dozens of vacuums in my career, but never one like this. I wanted to see if the EyeVac Stationary Vacuum was as cool as it seems, so I used it in my home's messiest room for several weeks\u2014and now I can't live without it.\r\n\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"53137\" type_of_player=\"jw\" \/]\r\n

What is the EyeVac stationary vacuum?<\/h2>\r\nMost vacuums are designed to be pushed around your home. Or, in the case of robot vacuums<\/a>, they navigate around on their own. But the EyeVac Stationary Vacuum<\/a> is a bit different. Instead of bringing the vacuum to the mess, you bring the mess to the vacuum. All you have to do is sweep debris in front of the unit and it automatically turns on, sucking up dirt, pet hair, spilled food or whatever else is on the floor.\r\n\r\nThe major benefit to this style of vacuum is that you can leave it on all the time, making for quick and convenient dirt pickup in messy rooms. Just sweep the debris in front of the vacuum, and poof! It gets sucked up, saving you from finding a dustpan or dragging out your full-size cordless vacuum.\r\n\r\nIt works on all types of hard floors<\/a>, and it has an easy-to-empty bagless dustbin where it collects debris. It's these reasons alone that make it one of our top Thanksgiving essentials for keeping floors clean without having to overthink it during holiday prep.\r\n\r\n[embed_shop_button shop_btn_text=\"Shop Now\" shop_btn_url=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45K5Vyv\" shop_btn_tab=\"true\" \/]\r\n

Product Features<\/h2>\r\nThe EyeVac Stationary Vacuum<\/a> has an egg-shaped design and is fairly large, measuring 18 inches tall and 13 inches wide. It has a metallic finish that comes in several different colors, including neutrals like black or accent colors like rose gold. Additionally, there's a small control panel with two buttons on the back of the unit.\r\n\r\nThe power button lets you turn the vacuum on and off and select between automatic or manual modes. In manual mode, pressing the \"Activate\" button turns on the suction. The vacuum delivers 1,000 watts of suction power and, when empty, the unit weighs just over 11 pounds.\r\n

How We Tested It<\/h2>\r\n\"sweeping\r\n\r\nI tested the EyeVac Stationary Vacuum<\/a> in my home over the course of several weeks. I decided to set it up in the bathroom next to my cat's litter box since she frequently tracks litter onto the floor. It certainly doesn't feel good to step on the little pebbles barefoot, so I end up vacuuming in there every two or three days with our cordless Dyson<\/a> to keep the floor clean. The stationary vacuum seemed like a perfect solution, and as it turns out, I was right!\r\n

Litter Box Test<\/h3>\r\nI set up the vacuum in automatic mode, and whenever I noticed that there was litter on the floor, I simply swept it in front of the unit. The vacuum uses infrared sensors to detect motion and immediately turns itself on, sucking up the litter along with any pet hair, small plant leaves or dirt on the floor. I found that I could even just use my foot to push debris in front of the vacuum, and that was enough to activate its sensors, which is ideal for times when you don't feel like breaking out the broom or spin mop<\/a>.\r\n\r\nOn the flip side of the coin, I was nervous that the motion detection would be too<\/em> sensitive and turn the vacuum on when I walked by, but it only ever activated the suction when I put a broom or my foot within a few inches of the opening.\r\n

Sucking Up Debris<\/h3>\r\nWhile it proved effective for my litter-cleanup needs, I wanted to see what the EyeVac could\u2014and couldn't\u2014handle, so I tested it on several other types of debris. It had no problem sucking up dog food, clumps of stuffing from dog toys, dry cereal, uncooked rice, small rocks\u2014even wood chips! The vacuum's opening is around 2 inches in diameter, though, so it wasn't able to suck up things like cat toys or large leaves from my houseplants.\r\n\r\nEven though the stationary vacuum's 0.8-liter bin still had plenty of space left inside after a few weeks (!!!) of testing, I emptied it anyway, just to see what the process was like. There's a small handle that lets you pull out the front part of the vacuum, and it easily lifts off the base for carrying to the trash. I was able to easily dump everything out by lifting the lid and flipping the bin upside down over the trash.\r\n\r\nThe process was quick and easy, and I had no problem reattaching the dustbin either. The best part? You don't have to remember how often you should vacuum<\/a> because this gadget makes it incredibly easy to remember while making the chore more enjoyable too.\r\n
