Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: A world of difference
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an older Eureka machine that I "thought" worked reasonably well. But, after 10 years or so, it was noisy and leaked some dust so I bought myself a 4870 for Christmas (12/06). What a difference! The ability to pick up dirt on both carpets and hard floors is outstanding. I'm sorry to admit how much stuff my old cleaner was leaving behind. My carpets look almost new because the 4870 does such a nice job of picking up their nap.
Pros: Cleaning ability, accessible tools, light is effective
Cons: Hose should be longer, handle release is stiff.
Customer Review: A year of review
Summary: 4 Stars
Having had this for a year now, I can decidedly reiterate a few comments made here and hopefully offer some new ones. Indeed, as most will describe, the weight of this unit is a bit much. Surely Eureka could improve upon that to make it more portable to take to a second story. And the trouble with the weight is that it is in the shaft of the vacuum rather than the foot. If the weight were concentrated in the foot it would take away some of the heavy handling that otherwise results. What is great is the suction. This vacuum really does a good job of picking up dirt.
On the downside it does use bags, meaning a need to constantly check to make sure it isn't full, having to buy bags - literally throwing money away. It also has an attachment meant to scrub stairs as a mini vacuum, but that accessory is really worthless.
But overall it has been performing very nicely. And is a decent product with great results. 4 stars.
Customer Review: AWESOME PRODUCT RATED #1 for A REASON!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Vacuum is rated #1 in Consumer reports for GOOD REASON! IT IS THE BEST VACUUM I'VE EVER USED! IT'S AWESOME! WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! Cheapest place I found it is Wal-mart for approximately $140.00. I owed a cleaning company and have tried MANY MANY products and I was shocked by how much power this Vacuum has for little money! WONDERFUL PRODUCT! THANK YOU EUREKA!!!Customer Review: About what I expected.... but not disappointed.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this vacuum to replace our Hoover Wind Tunnel, which we had for two years. It kind of just stopped sucking dirt as it should. My decision on a new vacuum came down to this Eureka model or a Dyson 17 Animal. I was a click away from ordering the Dyson, but purchased this instead... saving several hundred dollars. Upon putting the Eureka together, I noticed it is not made from the most heavy-weight material, mostly light plastic. This is what I expected from a $138.00 vacuum. I took note of several complaints made in prior reviews, mostly the release button to move the handle from its upright position (reported to be almost impossible to move); the weight (reported by many to be super-heavy) and the width/height of the head(reported by many to be too thick and too wide). Well, the button to adjust the handle is a little stiff, but not that much of a nuisance. The weight isn't much heavier than the Hoover wind tunnel. My wife has no trouble moving it up and down the stairs and she is in no way a big woman. The width/height of the head is a little larger than out wind-tunnel, but not a problem at all. Immediatly upon turning this vacuum on and making my first pass on the carpet, I noticed one thing... IT SURE DOES SUCK (and I mean that in a good way). And isn't that why we all buy vacuums? I simply want to pass on to anyone considering buying this model that it seems to be a great bargain for the price. Of course you would expect it to be made mostly of plastic (at this price), but if you are looking for suction, this baby has it. We have two long-haired cats and even though they don't shed much, this vacuum sucked up their hair on the first pass, unlike our Hoover. Even when the Hoover was new it didn't suck like this. I can't attest to the longevity of this vaccum, only having it for two weeks. But if you are looking for suction at a more than fair price, purchase this. And bags weren't hard to find as some say... they were right above the vacuum at the Walmart (I hate Walmart) store I bought it from. Also, the setting to use the hose-only turns off the sweeper head, which isn't then grinding into your floor while using the hose attachments. Good thinking, Eureka! Hope this helps.Customer Review: Affordable, easy to use, We love it.
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading lots of reviews, this seemed like a good choice. After using it a month . . .. . it was a great choice. I love having the hose travel around with the machine, its not too heavy, and if you push the release lever with your heal instead of your toe it is easy to release . . . I'd recommend this to my mother its so good
