Eureka Smart Boss Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner (Refurb)

Rating

I keep having to remind myself that if I use the wand, not to point it up, or it'll suck the sun out of the sky. It's that powerful. It could cause a worldwide cataclysm. It's big too. We call ours, Robby, like Robby the Robot. It's that big. It's heavy, very, and it's wide. It doesn't fit in tight spaces. The little attachments that come with it aren't big enough to make up the difference. So it would be great if there was an attachment that covered a wider swath than they do, but not as wide as Robby's.

Was on the prowl for a new vacuum and didn't want to spend an exorbitant amount of money, was planning on buying a dyson. Read hundreds of reviews on this vaccum before I decided it was the one. The hair from my dog was taking over my house with my old vacuum, with very plush carpet the cleaning was impossible. As soon as I used this thing life became so much easier. It can clean the white off of rice. Was ansy about switching from bagless to bagged, but it's actually easier to deal with. It's heavy, but an 86 y/o woman was at my house and she had no problem at all pushing it. The mechanism to angle it for vacuuming is a little tough, but completely doable. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a high quality vacuum, mines still going strong after 6 months. And as for the belt breaking on the previous reviews, check the height you have it set at, too low causes too much pressure, yes, it will break if you don't adjust correctly.

This is the second Smart Boss I have bought. The first one I gave to my son recently when he moved out into his apartment. Admitedly this vac is heavy. But, once you get used to the weight you will not think anything of it. This is a good vac and definitely has GREAT suction power. I wish it was cheaper but it is much cheaper than a ORECK.

very powerful, does a very good job in cleaning which is what it was designed to do. However it is very heavy and can be a little challenging to move around. If you are looking for a strong vacuum for things like pet hair this will work but be prepaired to give your arm a work out. Also this was a best buy vacuum from Consumer reports so overall it is a really good machine

I too bought this on the recommendation of Consumer Reports, and everything they said about it is true. This vacuum cleans REALLY well and has a HEPA filter, but it is heavy. I have learned how to move this around with not too much effort. It is a pain, but it CLEANS so WELL. I guess to me it is worth the trade off. Not to mention the price. Consumer Reports gave it a best buy. It is. It does what it is suppose to do. Finally, I feel as if my efforts at cleaning aren't wasted.
