Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 4870HZ Boss SmartVac Upright Vacuum, Blue
Customer Review: This vacuum is flawless.
Summary: 5 Stars
Consumer Reports rated an earlier version (4870) as a "best buy." By the time their articles went to print, two models 4870HG and 4870HZ, were released and neither has had a price increase. I bought the recent HZ from Amazon.com and it was delivered UPS in two days in a tall box which told me it was already assembled. Assembly for attachements and a reading the instructions was a 3 minute process. It is much quieter than my prior 1999 Hoover Bag Model and Bissell 2003 Bagless, both of which still ran but did not pick up much. It picks up so much and so fast, you won't have to waste $150 to have your carpets cleaned (assuming no embedded stains like grape juice). You will love it. There is not enough space on here to say all the great things about it. The price ended up including a second replacement bag and a replacement drive belt. Too many great features to mention here.Customer Review: Very pleased with Eureka 4870
Summary: 5 Stars
I am really really pleased with the quality and value of this product. (fyi I have been told the person lambasting this product's quality sells a different and more expensive product.)
This does a terrific job - cleans well, powerful suction, easy to use. Not too loud, attachments easy to use. I found the handle release stiff but not really a problem at all. The switch from bare floor to carpet is too stiff, but useable. That is the only downside.
The only reason I would upgrade from this product is if it were really important to me to have a quiet, lightweight vacuum. In terms of quality I am very pleased, and it's not too heavy for me. It might be tough for an eldery person.
It does a great job on pet hair too.
Customer Review: Winning over pet hair on bare floors and carpet.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 3 large dogs, the smaller weighing in at 57 pounds and the largest at 152 pounds. Two are short hair and one is long hair. I have four cats as well, 3 short hair and one long hair, and four free range rabbits all indoor pets. Recently moving into an old farmhouse with hardwood floors my old vacuum just could not handle the pet hair on the floor. It just blew it around. With this new vacuum, highly rated by Consumer Reports for it's ability to clean up pet hair i am so frickin happy that i am besides myself. This vacuum has suction to spare, the bare floor adjustment is steller and the exhaust is located about four inches up off the floor so the vacuum doesn't blow the hair around. On the carpet it has so much suction that it can lift the area rugs off the floor if I fail to adjust the level of the brush. I am extremely happy with this vacuum. My only complaint would be and this is not really a complaint but it would be nice if it had a little larger vacuum bag. One thing is for sure, i will never go back to an bagless model again, they are just too much of a hassle. I highly recommend this vacuum.Customer Review: Works well but minor problems
Summary: 5 Stars
This vacuum works very well and I am very happy with it. Our previous vacuum was an Oreck XL 8 pounder that was totally useless. Prior to that we had a Eureka and I loved it. I will never stray again, I promise!
Likes:
1) Vacuum! Man this thing has huge suction power.
2) The bag. Give me a bag any day. Whoever thought that bagless was clean never dumped one on the floor, let alone in a trash can. I do NOT want to ever see or smell that mess again! In a bag, it's gone forever!
3) The hose attachements. The hose is plenty long to reach up a flight of 9 stairs and vacuum the treads and such.
Minor dislikes
1) It's heavy. It needs to be to have powerful suction.
2) The brush switch doesn't work. Who cares.
Best vacuum I've ever had and cheap at twice the price compared to Oreck.
Buy it - you'll like it.

This vaccuum is a a piece of junk, I am an 82 year old widower and did not need a vaccuum for heavy use. After the unit arrived I used it to vaccum out my car a couple time and it worked well. After a few weeks I tried to vaccum my rugs, the rotor brush did not work(the rotor brush was actually fitted wood pieces, that assure a long useful life), and it was fitted with a belt much too big, took it to a local repair shop,was told they no longer produce belts for this model and there is no way to fix it fit so it will clean rugs. Been trying to contact the source it was purchased from, I have send four emails, NOT ONE RESPONSE. I have a lemon on my hands and apparently no recourse. Been a sour experience. Steer clear of the vaccuum vendor (Allergy something) Robert L Brewer
