Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 4870HZ Boss SmartVac Upright Vacuum, Blue
Customer Review: sucks in a good way
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good, not outstanding, vacuum. Not much I can add to what has been said. It definitely is heavy - I am a big guy, so I wasn't too worried about weight, but I did notice it was way heavier than my previous vacuum. Suction is good, I like the "Power Paw" for cat hair. Some of the plastics, like the foot-activated release lever that allows the handle to tilt, feel pretty cheap. I guess that is what you get at this price point - and nothing has broken or seems in danger of doing so. It has lots of features, which is good but can sometimes feel fussy. I particularly like the switch for choosing between normal vacuuming and using the wand. My last vacuum did not have this, so the beater bar ran even while you were wanding, and it decreased the efficiency of the normal vacuum suction.
Bottom line: effective and versatile vacuum, albeit a bit heavy and clunky.
Customer Review: this vacuum cleaner is my friend
Summary: 5 Stars
The funny thing is that when my Hoover windtunnel died after only a couple years, I somehow landed on the Eureka Boss - (who knows, maybe it was a good deal) but hated it the first day. I even called the Sears company and griped about it and I remember the rep saying "but everybody loves this model." I guess I just needed to get used to it because it has never let me down. I love the carpet/hard woood floor switch, it has GREAT SUCTION, a long hose, and I've had it for more than five years. What's more is that it's not terribly expensive. I am considering getting another one even though my old one is still running!Customer Review: this vacuum sucks (i love it!)
