Tools and Hardware Reviews of EUREKA MINI BOSS UPRIGHT VAC 442A
Customer Review: Lightweight Useful Vacuum
Summary: 4 Stars
1 of 3 vacuums I own. This one is for tile kitchen, wood floor & area rugs that I vacuum daily. Picks up dog hair, crumbs, etc. Light weight. I empty the plastic container after each vacuum. I clear the filter by banging it against the outside wall to get all of the dust out. I keep the vacuum setting to "carpet" vs "floor" which keeps the roller/brush moving. Works better that way. Vacuum does feel like a toy but works well. Would recommend.Customer Review: Okay for last minute or back up.

I bought because of the price and needed a quick fix. It actually sucks up quite a bit, but the dust and grime just packs onto that filter and when you empty the cup, you have to pull off the hair and gunk from the filter... gross! Kind of messy. Bagless vacuums are such a hit now...but I don't see why! I'd rather buy bags than inhale or touch the dust inside when it's time to empty!Customer Review: POOR QUALITY

I order'd this vacuum after reading other reviews.
One hour after placing my order I happened to find the identical vacuum @ a Target store and was extremely disappointed with its quality. I came home immediately to cancel my order. I spoke with two customer service reps and was told that I would receive an e-mail within 24 hours to confirm the order was suspended after notification was sent to shipping.
Twenty four hours later, I rec'd an e-mail notifying me that the vacuum had been shipped. I was very upset at this news, as I had purchased this item as a gift to be sent to someone who is not capable of handling such transactions on her own and I now had to suffer the inconvenience, frustration and embarrasment of handling the mistake with her and the shipping carrier.
Usually, I am thrilled at the speed of service from Amazon with all other transactions. I just wish there was more than a two hour window for cancellations.
Customer Review: Quick picker upper

I just love my little Eureka bagless vacuum- it's lightweight,picks up cat hair and crumbs easily. No need to drag out the big heavy one. The price is easy, compared to the big ones, many of which don't do as good a job!! Can easily be taken upstairs. I heartily reccomend it.Customer Review: Used to love it, but not so much now! Wish Amazon would allow me to change star rating; I'd give it 3 stars now.

April 17, 2007: I think any negative reviews may be from people who are trying to use this vacuum as a whole house vacuum and it's not made for that. We bought this vacuum to replace the Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum) Eureka Boss Super Light Upright Stick Vacuum - 402A. We needed a vacuum for the kitchen floor and rugs. We have three dogs and one cat. I have tried practically every kitchen vacuum on the market and so far the Eureka 442A is the best! It is a wonderful improvement over the Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum). It is quieter, it's smoother to handle, the brush roll is wider, it does a good job cleaning. This one even vacuums up the dry leaves that make it into our attached garage. I wiped our vacuum down with fabric softener to prevent static build-up which could make dog hair stick to the vacuum. You could probably use a dryer sheet to wipe it down, too.
Update as of June 6, 2007: After using this product for a couple of months now, I have encountered a couple of issues. 1. The power cord cover split exposing the internal wiring. (I did not let anyone else use this vacuum or change the way I vacuum.) 2. The dust cup filter is very difficult to clean compared to the old Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum). And after hand-washing it takes days for the filter to dry. I bought an extra dust cup filter because I couldn't wait days for the original to dry.
