Tools and Hardware Reviews of Refurbished Eureka Boss Upright Vacuum, R4870GCustomer Review: Eureka! Sexy dance mate and great roomie! Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
First of all, I must clarify that I have a vacuuming fetish. If every square inch of my apartment hasn't seen the cleaner in 48 hours, I start looking at my vacuum like a dog who's been cooped up all day staring at his leash. In the first two weeks I owned this machine, I put it through as much work as it would have gotten had it been purchased by a Holiday Inn with crumb-cake at the continental breakfast. I even used it to suck up the foam particles created by its own packaging. Approximately 70% of my diet consists of soft-serve ice-cream with chocolate sprinkles that have a moth-to-a-flame like attraction to the carpet. My boyfriend, incredible though he may be in all other ways, seems to routinely forget where his mouth is; I'm fairly certain that as many calories from the meals he eats at my house ultimately end up in the vacuum as end up in his stomach.
Cons:
For smaller vacuum aficionados like myself, you may have trouble steering this beast considering it moves with a mind of it's own and is powered by a small tractor engine. Although the level of suction can be adjusted, the nozzle function was so forceful that it attached to my leg and created a thigh hickie.
Customer Review: Excellent Value for the Money Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the refurbished Eureka Boss vacuum after reading all of the reviews. You cannot go wrong with this vacuum, and is an excellent value for the money. I have another bagless I bought and paid more than double the price and does not do as good of a job as the Eureka. It picks up dirt and is very good with pet hair. It also has a self-propelling feature that makes it very easy to manuever - much easier on your back.
Do not let the "rebuilt" term dissuade you from purchasing. It arrives just like a brand new model - in a Eureka box with instructions, etc. The only thing I noticed was some slight wear on the wheels. But who cares!
I like this so much I'm thinking of buying another one. Great vaccuum!
Customer Review: Excellent option to brand new Summary: 4 Stars
Came in original box - looked brand new. Works wonderfully. First vacuuming, had to change the bag after 2 rooms - there was that much dog hair that my old vacuum wasn't picking up! A little awkward going up and down stairs, but worth it for the suction power.
Customer Review: Excellent, powerful and versatile Summary: 4 Stars
This vacuum has been excellent in the three weeks I've had it. The ability to turn off the brush rotation and use it to clean hardwood floors is fantastic. Suction is excellent and when cleaning carpets this vacuum does an excellent job. The attachments are very useful as well, though a narrow wand would be a welcome addition.
The only negatives are that the filtration bags are relatively small and require frequent changing (I recommend using 3rd party replacements as they are significantly cheaper than OEM/factory) and some of the plastic covers have a slightly cheap and fragile feel.
Overall, this is an excelent vacuum.
Customer Review: Exceptional Summary: 5 Stars
I like getting my money's worth---but this was a very pleasant surprise. You can't tell that this vacuum has ever been used! It works great! Completely satisfied!!
