Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
This is easily the best vacuum I have ever used. It picks up all particles in its way on the first sweep. The bare floor setting replaces the broom as it is thorough and easy to use. I use the bare floor setting for going over light weight rugs. It does not eat them up or damage them. The hose is powerful and easy to use. The exaust puts out clean air and doesn't smell like my dog. I am very happy with the purchase, however, I wish the vacuum were a bit smaller. It is heavy (the rolling brushes push it along, so it is not hard to push) and so bulky that it doesn't fit in between many things. But, for the price, esspecially, I am not complaining.Customer Review: Amazing Value

We've normally bought more expensive vacuum machines but decided, after reading Consumer Reports' review, to buy this machine. We are very pleased we did, because it is the best all-round machine we've ever used. We notice some comments on the difficulty of releasing the foot pedal: if one uses one's heel instead of toes, it is effortless.Customer Review: Amazing...

We used to have a bagless vaccum, and as many know, there are tons of filters on them. I was sick of always cleaning those filters to only find that after only a couple uses of the vaccum, those filters needed cleaning again. Boy am I glad that I switched back to a vaccum that uses a bag. Not only does the bag act as a GOOD filter which is easily thrown away without mess, but the other filters last much longer without cleaning than bagless vaccums. This unit has great power, and the attachments fit all neatly on the unit (which is a huge plus). The included paw attachment is great, I use it for the stairs which got rid of my dirt devil hand vac. I've had this vaccum for several months now and absolutely love it. I highly recommend getting the washable HEPA filter for this unit as continuous changes of this filter may cost a lot over time.
UPDATE 6/6/2010: I still use this vacuum to this day and it is still going strong! I absolutely love the vacuum and it has treated me well for this many years. I'm actually quite surprised at how long I've had it! Ever heard of someone using the same exact vacuum for over 4 years and still 110% satisfied with it? I am. Get this vacuum and I promise you won't be disappointed. I couldn't say that about a bagless. Sometimes things that seem like less of a hassle (bagless) become more of one. Keep that in mind!
Customer Review: An excellent vacuum.

This has to be the best vacuum that I have ever used. The suction is amazing. It actually sucked up a small dog chain and didn't even flinch. I am somewhat of a vacuum freak (vacuums and fans). I would usually buy a new vacuum every 6 months or so and I have had this one for over 2 years! The reason being, I can not find a comparable or better vacuum cleaner. I love this vacuum and that can not be a better endorsement as I am a very fickle vacuum consumer.Customer Review: An outstanding vacuum for a wonderful price!

I purchased my Eureka 4870GZ Boss off Amazon back in February. I am extremely picky about cleaning -- the vacuum I'd been using for the past six years was a Hoover model I'd gotten when my late grandmother passed away, and it was terrific. When IT passed away I decided to do some consumer sleuthing. Excellent recommendations for this Eureka model (Consumer Reports, online reviews) prompted me to purchase it.
I've been supremely pleased with that decision from the day I put it together (which was delightfully simple, I might add). The suction power is very impressive. The various attachments, as well as the easy transition from floor-to-hose suctioning, are all great features.
I will say that the on/off floor pedal is still something which I feel I am wrestling with sometimes when turning the machine on and off. The same is true for the knob that adjusts the vacuum height. Honestly, though, for the price this appliance sells for and considering the magnificent performance of this Eureka, the small flaws are easily overlooked.
