Customer Reviews

Inexpensive, effective, handy - Going for my second!!
I bought this vacuum 7 years ago when I first moved into my dorm. I used it until I moved out of the dorms, then I passed to a friend. That friend and I ended up married and it came back into our household. I have used it on floors and carpet and it does a great job on both. It fits nicely under the cabinetry in the house and is so easy to get out, clean up, and put away. It sure beats digging out the dyson!! I have not found anything that it wouldn't pick up. Even works awesome on pet hair!!
I have never had a problem with it and am only buying a new one because we got a puppy and I left the filter on the floor after cleaning it off - and the dog ate it!! So I am just going to let this guy retire and get a new one!! Worth every penny and then some

Excellent Vacuum
This is an excellent vacuum - especially for the price. I have a studio apartment that has a combination of wood flooring, tile as well as carpet and this little wonder handles it all. Easy to operate, empty and store. The suction this thing has is amazing! I have to hold my foot on the area rugs to keep them in place while I vacuum them. A little over six months now and no regrets over this purchase at all.

Does Exactly What It's Supposed To!
I have had this vacuum for two years and am going to buy another one for the family room/downstairs, so I can have one on each floor. A few years ago I had rotator cuff surgery and found it impossible to push the large "beast" of a vacuum cleaner we used, and it was also too hard to carry it up and down stairs. I purchased a Bissel Stick vac for the upstairs, and found out it wasn't anywhere as good as this Eureka Boss.

I found the Eureka Boss at WalMart and purchased it. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. If people are unhappy with this stick vac, it's because they are expecting it to clean heavy carpets with naps; a job which should be done by larger vacuum cleaners. If you understand that this stick vac is mainly for tiled or hardwood floors, or carpets with very low naps, you won't be disappointed.

No, it won't get stuff right up against the wall. For that, I use the Bissel Stick vac (which isn't worth a hoot for actual vacuuming of any type, but I keep the crevice tool on it and use it along baseboards, where it does a decent job).

However, the Eureka is fabulous on barewood, and it gets up all the hair from my two labs and miniature pinscher. Downstairs, in the family room, we have a carpet similar to those you see in businesses or offices. It has no nap, and the Eureka does a fantastic job getting all the dog hair and hay and straw we drag in from the barn. I rarely use the big beast any more, as the Eureka is so lightweight that it makes vacuuming a dream!

The only drawback, as others have mentioned, is the short cord. I have a large house with huge rooms, and sometimes have to move it to three different outlets, but I can live with that. The dust cup doesn't hold too much, but that's part of the reason this vacuum is so light weight. As long as you empty the dustcup this vacuum will do the job!

If you have bare floors and pets, this is absolutely the stick vac for you! And it will get those dust bunnies and eat them up!
