Description of Eureka Boss Smart-Vac Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner, 4870MZ

The BOSS SMART VAC captures dirt other cleaners don't and on more surfaces. This model has an Eureka patented SEALED HEPA system . A system that filters all the fine dirt through the HEPA filter for cleaner indoor air. It comes complete with on-board tools and a Power Paw Turbo that's designed for vertical cleaning of stairs and upholstery.
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.

Captures Dirt on More Surfaces

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.

Ideal for people who need to reduce allergens in the home

Plus, the Boss comes loaded with user-friendly features to take the frustration out of vacuuming. A wide 15-inch cleaning path covers a lot of ground quickly before company comes. In addition, 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. One extra Type-R belt and one bonus bag come included. The vacuum cleaner measures 12 by 15 by 44 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Getting the Best Results

? This vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a revolving brush roll. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.

? Do not place vacuum cleaner on furniture or stairs as the brush roll may cause damage. Use extra care when cleaning on stairs. Place vacuum cleaner on floor with the handle in storage position while using attachments.

? Do not use without dust bag, motor filter and HEPA filter in place.

? Remove hair and threads from brush roll periodically.

? This vacuum cleaner has a special thermostat that protects the vacuum in case of motor overheating. If the vacuum suddenly shuts off, push the power switch to off and unplug the vacuum. Check the vacuum for a possible source of overheating such as a full dust bag, blocked hose, clogged tubes or clogged filter. If these conditions are found, fix them and wait at least 30 minutes before attempting to use the vacuum. After the 30 minute period, plug the vacuum back in and turn on the switch.

Easy Cleaning Steps

  1. For bare floor cleaning, push brush roll control lever firmly to lock in ?bare floor?setting to stop brush roll.
  2. Turn height adjustment knob to bare floor position.
  3. If brush roll still rotates, control lever is not engaged properly.
  4. Loosen hose end from back of vacuum.
  5. Place tool on end of wand or hose.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka Boss Smart-Vac Upright HEPA Vacuum Cleaner, 4870MZ

Customer Review: I Love This Vac!
Summary: 5 Stars

A coupla weeks ago, my old Eureka decided to take a powder on me and died after 10 faithful years. I found myself in the process of looking for a new vac. My last 2 vacuum cleaners were Eurekas and each lasted roughly 10yrs b4 needing replacing. I was only looking at that brand and settled on this little beauty (which is now known in my household as Big Red) after reading many reviews at Amazon and checking out Consumer Reports. I haven't had it very long but have used all of the attachments as well as thoroughly vacuumed my apt a few times. I can echo most of what everyone else has said about
yes it it quite heavy but after you get used to the heft of it, it isn't so bad at all. The moving forward is a breeze-it's the pulling back that is the tough part. But if you move the carpet height adjustment so that it isn't hugging the carpet so strongly, that can help tremendously with the amount of effort required.
And the suction is incredible! It really does fluff up the carpet very well and pulls all the crud out of it. My carpets look so nice afterwards that it's amazing and I thought my old Eureka did a fine job.
The attachments do stay on if they're attached properly. I haven't had any problems at all with them falling out or any problems with the hose either. And the power paw attachment is a wonder with it's little whirring beater bar. I have multiple cats and the cat hair on the couch stands no chance when the power paw goes after it. Any pet parent will love that attachment. As for some of the problems that some folks have mentioned, it's somewhat of a trial and error journey to find out what works best. The release pedal for the handle is much stiffer than what I was used to. But all I need to do is put the heel of my foot (barefoot btw) on the lower part of the pedal,press down firmly and move the handle forward a bit and then back. I can hear a little click as the handle is released and it comes down quite easily. No karate chops needed here. And moving the handle ALL the way down so as to vacuum under low furniture just requires my hand on the pedal. A little more effort is required than my old pedal but it isn't hard to move.
The yellow carpet/bare floor switch can be a might tricky. Make sure that you have turned the height adjustment to the bare floor segment and then b4 releasing the handle push the yellow knob to the bare floor arrow and push HARD until you hear it click in place. Then lower the handle and yellow knob stays put while you vacuum your tile or hardwood floors. It will automatically go back to the carpet setting after putting the handle in the upright position for your next use.
Some folks have expressed concern about all the plastic on this vac and worry about the durability of it. Unless one is very rough with it or maybe got a lemon, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't last as long as my other Eurekas have. But only time will tell in that regard. I certainly do hope the longevity is at least equal to what I have become used to.
All in all, I'd give this vac 10 stars if I could. I really am glad that my old vac bit the dust. This one is so convient to use with the attached hose and accompanying attachments plus the overall power of the thing for it's intended purpose would be very hard to beat regardless of price. I actually look forward to housework now!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vacuum to anyone unless they have limited upper body strength and/or arthritis, shoulder, arm or hand problems. Then a lighter weight vacuum would be in order.
And a plus that I wasn't aware of is that for what I was used to, this vac is amazingly quiet! My old vacs would just about break your eardrums and Big Red has a nice low hum to it. I can even hear the phone ring now while I'm vacuuming and it doesn't even scare my cats like the old one did!
A wonderful vacuum cleaner at a very good price!
