Best Household Vacuum September 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am a senior and have usually purchased at least one vacuum a year in the last decade. The Eureka Boss Smart -Vac Upright Hepa Vacuum proves to be a good vacuum at a reasonable price. I wind up giving my own away or buying new for people I meet who need a vacuum, and thus I buy several over the years. I always go back to Eureka as I find it is the most reliable and does a great job with all its attachments and ease of use. The air dust not smell dusty when you vacuum so I know it is doing a good job filtering. Plus, the inside of the vacuum stays clean and all the dirt goes in the micro-filtration RR bags which are easily available online or in local stores. The hose is very easy to switch to and use while you vacuum and really has a lot of suction. Buy one, you'll save yourself all the comparison purchases I did of other brands (some much more expensive) and you'll be very satisfied with this product.

Eureka! It rocks. September 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is my second purchase of this machine (two places to clean), I loved the first so much. Yes, it's a little heavy but only if you're a lightweight and only when you pull it back. It does all the work for you in running it forward. It really vacuums everything up and I have a golden retriever and MUST pick up that hair so it does the trick. The power on this thing is great. I've recommended it to many people.

I like the idea of the stair riser "paw" but pressing down on it to get into the carpet slows the spinning action of the beaters. I'd prefer if you could use the actual machine on the stairs but you can't because the rollers retract if the machine is in the upright position and my stairsteps aren't wide enough to actually drag the vacuum back and forth over them. That being said, I'll just use the regular attachments.

I will continue to buy this one until Consumers Reports tells me something else is even better. Thanks Eureka for a great product at a great price!

Getting Fluffy Clean Carpet and a Workout In One Step September 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I've had my Eureka Boss Smart-Vac for about a month now, and I am still impressed with the job it does. My old vacuum was so ineffective that I filled the bag on my new one by vacuuming once! We have a cat, and it was always so hard to get her hair out of the chair she always sits in. The power paw removed the hair in just one or two swipes. I read many reviews before purchasing this vacuum, and most of them are fairly accurate. My husband and I both agree it IS heavy, but it's not really that hard to maneuver. It really does a very nice job picking up everything and makes the carpet soft and fluffy. The plastic it's made of feels a bit cheap, so I question the long-term durability of the product, but the price was a great value considering how well it performs. It's very quiet running and the HEPA filter makes the air smell really fresh when I'm done vacuuming. My old vacuum's hose used to clog all the time, so I really like how this one has a clear hose so you can see where clogs are. However, I have not experienced any clogs in this vacuum's hose as of yet. (Yes, the power paw attaches to the vacuum. The directions just don't tell you how. It's not hard to figure out. There's a plastic holster for it that clips to the back under the handle.) So far, I'm very happy with this purchase.

This Vac really sucks (-: September 9, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

My wife and I have been around the block a time or two and, as with many of you, have been through our share of vacuums over the years. I'm here to tell you this one works.
Stay away from the TV "infomercials" plugging no-name vacs and making outlandish claims. Remember the old saying, "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is". Trust the "trusted" names.
Eureka has been around a long time. We checked Consumer Reports before investing in a new upright vac. They listed 3 as being excellent buys. 2 were Kenmores and the third was the Eureka 4870 series. The letters at the end of the model don't mean much (the MZ has the "power brush", but the 4870 is important. The ratings of all 3 vacs were basically the same, but the Eureka was half the price.
The sucking power is incredible. It's not the quietest unit in the world, but I'll gladly trade that for the job it does. Right after buying this vac, someone (we have many young, devilish grandchildren), put eggshells in my wife's washing machine (front-load). The shells got into the front seal of the washer, as well as all through the dryer before we saw them. I took the crevice attachment of the Eureka and cleaned both machines out completely in the blink of an eye. By the way, I've seen complaints that the new "power brush" doesn't work. We've had no problem with this attachment. In fact, it's been everything Eureka says it is. If you don't want to try it, there are several other versions of the 4870 that offer the traditional brush instead. We're very happy with this unit.

It's Ok... September 7, 2008
This vacuumn has great suction and cleans well but the floor to rug switch did not work since the first day. I see in a lot of reviews this seems to be quite a problem. It is also very loud and quite heavy to maneuver from room to room. I liked my Hoover Wind Tunnel better!
