Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 4870DT Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: Awesome...4.5
Summary: 4 Stars
The one con after about a month of use is as others have pointed out, the foot lever. Hard to push right. BUT...the price is right, and this bad boy CLEANS! We have a little one crawling around in an older urban apartment and we feel great knowing how clean it really is. You can feel good owning this, good for your family and great for their health... great item. Don't mess with the bagless...bags aren't that expensive and worth avoiding the mess of a bagless.Customer Review: Awsome Vac For The Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this vac for about six months now, and I am quite impressed! This is the third vacuum I have owned and let me tell you how it compares to the others I've owned:My first vacuum was a Fantom Thunder (first generation). I was blown away by their infomercials and had to buy one! Initially I was pleased with the vacuum, but I soon tired of emptying the collection cup (as it's a bagless). Then one day I was vacuuming under the stove with the hose and I sucked up a toy cat mouse (we've all done that) and the vac clogged. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find the clog. I even took the vacuum apart! No luck, it was trashed. Be very careful in choosing a Fantom as the company has gone out of business.
My second vac was a Dirt Devil Swivel Guide. The Swivel Guide is a very poor quality vacuum...I don't recommend it to anyone, unless you are really short on cash. It was very loud and fell over very easily when I used the hose and attachments.
I finally decided that I had had enough with the Dirt Devil. I had read customer reviews and did some research online. I decided on the Eureka 4870 Smart Vac.
I took it out of the box and about three minutes later I was vacuuming! I was impressed with it quietness and it's effortless movement across carpeting. It doesn't fall over like the Dirt Devil when I use the hose. It doesn't even tip, it's very solid! The headlight was a disappointment though, it's not at all bright. The huge amount of power it has more than compensates for the dim headlight.
I have asthma and severe allergies, and I love cats, so a powerful vacuum is very important! I can actually feel the vacuum stick to the floor because of the powerful suction. Not only can I feel it stick to the floor, but I can feel it pull me along while I vacuum because of the powerful revolving brush. I have never seen a vacuum so powerful! I actually enjoy vacuuming, and now vacuum several times a week instead of waiting until I couldn't breath anymore!
Besides the headlight, the only other gripe I have is the Smart Vac is heavier than most vacs, especially when the bag gets full.
It's a very high quality, solid vacuum and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good vacuum at an affordable price. Oh, I forgot about a bonus, it's also pretty cool looking!
Customer Review: BEST VACUUM I'VE EVER OWNED
Summary: 5 Stars
I echo all the other reviewers' praises for this vacuum, and can also add that this is the vacuum for you if you have pets. I have a dog that, by all accounts should be bald, given all the dog hair on my carpets and furniture. This vacuum picked up dog hair, cookie crumbs and dirt tracked in from the garden in one pass.
The other thing I absolutely love is that this vacuum is so quiet. Say goodbye to that high-pitched racket of other vacuums.
I love this thing so much that I'm thinking of firing the maid and doing my own cleaning!
Customer Review: Bad choice
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered the Eureka 4870DT because Consumer Reports gave it a high rating and other Amazon customers were enthusiastic about it. The vacuum was annoyingly difficult to assemble; the two sections of very cheap plastic never fit together without a gap. When I tried the vacuum out, its electric cord became knotted, despite being plugged in. Amazon processed the return very quickly and reliably.Customer Review: Based on other reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this item and have been vacuuming ever since. Once you have a vacuum like this, you become addicted to a clean house!! The reviews that gave this item good ratings were right on the $. Probably too heavy for stair use, but in all other areas, this is a great value and then some. This is my firt vacuum with the hepa filter, and am suprised I've gone so long without one. This 1 device, has replaced 3 other vacuums I've used for as many jobs around the house until now. Ordering it from Amazon was a great value as well. Best price I found after significant searching and delivery was top notch & affordable as could be.
Thanks to all those who left previous reviews on this! This item really was (to me) 5 of 5 stars...
