Tools and Hardware Reviews of Refurbished Eureka Boss Upright Vacuum, R4870G
Customer Review: Eureka Boss R4870G Vacuum - LOVE IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
A year ago I purchased a $169 Hoover Windtunnel - it sucks and I don't mean like a good vacuum should. Should have listened to my mom - she checked Consumer Reports where the Eureka Boss is rated as one of the three best. I ordered it refurbished on Amazon and it just arrived today! This vacuum sucks - and I mean that in the BEST way. We have 3 cats and 2 dogs - WOW - the stuff that came out of the carpet was gross! It just about filled up one bag. It's also pretty quiet compared to my Hoover. I ordered replacement bags on Amazon - the price is right. If you're looking for a vacuum under $100 that really gets the job done, this is the one for you.

Update 6/25/09: We bought the Eureka 4870G from the Amazon Outlet about 2 years ago. Yesterday, I had to change the belt for the first time ever! Great suction, the extension hose really stretches so I can get the cobwebs and ceiling fans/lights. The vac body is mostly plastic, which I thought would get demolished with the way my grown kids slam it around and into everything, but it's held up really well. We have 4 cats and 2 dogs that track hair all over - this vac gets up all the hair just as well today as it did 3 years ago. When/if this one finally dies, we're going to buy another one just like it. The refurbished model from the outlet came well packaged and looked brand new.

Bought this vac and love it. Had many brands in the past including my Kirby and this Vac wins hands down. You can feel the suction and see the nap of the carpet just spring back into place. I also love the 30 ft. cord. Yes I love this Eureka Boss. It is also refurbished and is as good & packaged as new. Paid $89. and it is better than my $1500. Kirby. On a scale of 1-10 it rates a 10 in my book. Pat C. , OklahomaCustomer Review: Eureka Boss Upright vacuum

This vacuum, while given high ratings by consumer reports which influenced my purchase, has not lived up to my expectations. It is quite heavy and noisy. The cord is significantly shorter that my previous panasonic vacuum. And, within a month of purchase, a plastic part on the base broke off and now the has only two positions: completely upright or in the "ready" position. I cannot tilt on the rear wheels to go from floor to carpet; I must lift the entire machine onto the carpet. The only saving grace is that it has excellent suction.Customer Review: Eureka Boss Vacuum (refurb)

Very good value for the money ! Powerful and great on pet hair . The HEPA filter is also a big plus . The only minus is it's a bit heavy for smaller people perhaps.Customer Review: Eureka Boss upright

Only used once so far and seems to work fine. The lever to switch from carpet to bare floor was a little stiff doesn't seem to stay in place, but it did turn off the brush.
