Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: A dog owners pleasure of a vac.
Summary: 5 Stars
CR listed this vac in the top 5 for removing pet hair.
After reading up more on it and not wanting to go as far as paying for a Dyson, I opted to purchase this model.
It actually did what it said and does a great job of picking up the husky hair off my rug/couch etc.
Great value for money, good tool selection and usage, nice wide coverage, the bare floor switch activates nicely when you use the handle release, has not blocked at all with hair (so far), pushes forward easily, for once a vac that does what its supposed to.
Negatives- a little loud/heavy/harder on the pull back, some features a little stiff to begin with but eventually release with ease, the cord holder releases to easily causing the entire cord to come off.
Improvements - an edge brush either side of the roller to get right up to/under corners etc. Tighter cord release.
I can even get the husky to lay still and get brushed and Vac'd at the same time, a little added bonus ;)
As I have 2 shedding dogs, all in all though Im VERY happy with this product.
Customer Review: A good vaccum
Summary: 4 Stars
Solid product with good power. It's hard to change from carpet to floor cleaning because of a very tough-to-turn dial.Customer Review: A good vacuum overall
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using the vacuum for a month now and in spite of the heavy weight I found the vacuum to be really efficient with cat hair, no need to go back on the same spot to remove hair from the rug or carpet. I don't see why I should spent 5 times the price for a dyson and get the same result after all.
After a month, I can say I'm satisfied with my purshase.
Customer Review: A good vacuum, with some reservations.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this vacuum because of the rating in Consumer Reports. Previously, I had always used a canister vacuum. I was impressed with the suction. My carpet has never been so clean. It is much heavier than I thought, and there is no way to easily pick it up while vacuuming, like going over a cord. There is a hand hold on the back, but not the front. The weight may be standard for an upright, but it's much heavier than a canister. The extra turbo head for the wand stopped working in the 1st week. After 10 minutes of fiddling around and cleaning every hair out of it, one tiny little piece of gravel fell out. Somehow, that piece of gravel stopped it from working.
All in all, for the money, I think it's a good deal.
Customer Review: A great buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I just moved and decided to buy a new vacuum. My friend got this after she saw that it won a best buy award in Consumer Reports. I checked before I bought, and they've kept their position at the top. I've been very pleased with this vacuum. The construction is very solid, the suction is outstanding, and the features are well thought-out and executed.
Pros:
1.The onboard attachments are great, especially this Power Paw that they included. It's about 6" wide and has a super fast mini rolling brush that is great for upholstery and getting into difficult spots. You can adjust the amount of suction between the main vacuum and the hose using a dial. This means that all of the power can go to the attachments when you need them.
2.The HEPA filtration system is sealed in so that all of the particles stay in there and don't escape. Great for dust allergies.
3. This thing is powerful. I borrowed my parents' vacuum until this one came in (an Oreck professional model). I used theirs, then used this right over the "clean" floors, and it got all sorts of stuff that the other one missed.
4. The bags are very easy to change and are designed to make it hard for you to spill the contents everywhere.
Cons:
Nothing serious. It's heavy becuase it's really well-made. If you can't lift and like to vacuum your stairs a lot, this could get annoying. In regular use, though, there's no lugging or dragging that you have to do. The first few times you use the machine, the buttons are hard to press (the one that makes it lean back, the switch between roller brush and bare floors). Hard enough that you can't make it lean back unless you're wearing shoes to push the lever down. After maybe ten pushes, though, it's fine.
I would reccommend this vacuum to anyone, and would buy it again in an instant. Amazon definitely has the best price around on it, too.
