Amazon.com Review

Let's face it. Most vacuums just don't cut it when it comes to really cleaning a home or office. Pesky pet hair embeds deeper in carpet than traditional vacuums go; bits and pieces of tracked-in dirt and debris hunker down under floor trim just out of reach of the latest brush innovations, rendering us to the silliness of handpicking behind that expensive vacuum, filling our pockets with lint, and wondering-who's really the boss? Troubles like these made the folks at Eureka get down and dirty and, ultimately, design the Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum.

Offering powerful performance for everyday household cleaning, the Eureka Boss is the solution for people who insist on having a truly clean home. The Boss's Direct Air Control System features an air selector switch that lets you direct all suction either deep into the carpet or to the hose for easy above-the-floor cleaning. The Power Paw brush makes it easy to clean stairs and upholstery, and even claws up embedded pet hair, so Fido can spend more time inside. The motorized brush lets you go from carpet- to bare floor-cleaning with the flick of a switch. The Boss Smart-Vac is powered by a beefy, 12-amp motor that provides plenty of suction power for deep cleaning carpets, and leaves nothing behind on hard floors.

Pretty smart; right? Well, here's the really smart part. The Boss Smart-Vac isn't just the best household carpet- and floor-cleaning vacuum on the market; it's also equipped with a unique, sealed HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97 percent of dust, pollen, allergens, and bacteria. So, vacuuming the house doesn't mean you have to dust afterward, or sneeze while you're doing it. Cleaner carpets and cleaner indoor air at the same time!

Plus, the Boss is loaded with user-friendly features to take the frustration out of vacuuming. A wide cleaning path covers a lot of ground quickly before company comes. And, unlike inferior models, the Boss is designed with a brush-view window that shows you how hard it's working, letting you actually see the powerful brush roller remove dirt from carpets and floors. The exclusive dust trap system captures debris and dust in three stages. A handy stretch hose extends to five times its original length for reaching around furniture and sucking the cobwebs off the ceiling. And, a 30-foot cord won't leave you coming up short. The bare floor brush is designed to smoothly glide across wood and tile floors while picking up more dust and debris in corners and along baseboards than any other model. --Brian Olson

Hose comes out and is too short - Very Annoying!!! - websplus, May 24, 2008

Although this vacuum has excellent suction, it is the worst vacuum I've owned. The hose constantly comes out while vacuuming, and it doesn't reach far enough to do two stairs. I finally upgraded to the Dyson, which has a hose that reaches all the way up the stairs!

Best vacuum I've owned - J. Woods, May 20, 2008

I am very pleased with this vacuum. It has great suction and picks up pet hair just as promised. It is easy to handle. I especially like the control dial that switches the suction from "floor" to "hose". The price is right--it's a great value for the performance. I spent more on my last vacuum, a wind tunnel, and was never as impressed.

Heavy and loud - Katherine, May 19, 2008

I bought this vacuum 2 years ago (2006) when it was rated a consumer reports best buy. I am now selling this vacuum to buy a miele. The Eureka was:
-incredibly loud,
-did not work well on wood floors,
-did not fit well under furniture,
-bulky and heavy

I don't understand why it was so well-rated on consumer reports.

As good as they say - M. Bustamante, May 19, 2008

I am very happy about the vacuum. It is VERY POWERFUL! I was a bit torn about getting a bag vs. bagless - this is a bag vacuum. I tend to suspect it is more hygenic. The accessories being directly attached is very convenient.

Good product, would recommend it.

attachment doesn't stay stowed - Jennifer Darawi, May 13, 2008

I like this vacuum overall.

One thing I find annoying is that the small attachment for vacuuming upholstery does not stay in its storage place on the back of the vacuum while you are using it, only if the cord is wrapped up for storage. This means it gets misplaced or left behind, or carried off by one of my kids. Eureka should be able to fix this on future models.

Otherwise, it works well and does a good job on all my carpets and floors.
