Description of Eureka 166DX Boss Lightweight Stick Vacuum
The handy Eureka Boss lightweight vacuum conveniently cleans your house with an easy-empty dust cup, floor nozzle, crevice tool and a telescopic handle. It also converts to a hand vac, weighs 3.8 pounds and uses the Clean Air System to do the job without doing you in.To spruce up a hardwood floor or to tend to an isolated mess, Eureka offers this petite stick version of their Boss vacuum. Weighing less than 4 pounds, the 2-amp vacuum can be used as a hand-held dust buster or an upright sweeper for emergency clean up and lightweight dusting. In addition to the stick vacuum's light convenience efficacy, it features an allergen filtering, bagless design, thus reducing bag waste.
The stick vacuum motor design features a special clean air system, where dirt travels around the fan blades to prevent any dust from blowing back out into the air and prolong the life of the motor. Dust collects in a easy-to-empty dust cup. A telescopic handle enables upright and hand-held use and is crafted for ergonomic comfort while vacuuming vertically on stairs or upholstery. A crevice tool and a floor nozzle are also provided. The vacuum cord spans a distance of 15 feet. This cleaning appliance is most successful when used on hard floors rather than dense carpeting. The stick vacuum is covered by a one-year limited warranty. With the telescopic handle down, the vacuum measures 5-1/4 by 6-1/10 by 25-1/2 inches and weighs 3-4/5 pounds. --Jessica Reuling
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka 166DX Boss Lightweight Stick Vacuum
Customer Review: It's The Boss
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm going back to college in the fall, so I was poking around walmart for cleaning stuff a few weeks ago I saw this vacuum for only $15. I thought "its so cheap, it probably doesn't work very well, if at all". I bought it anyway, thinking that I could easily return it if it didn't do the trick. When I first opened it and put it together, I thought it looked like an inexpensive child's toy (esp. the floor attatchment) with it's brightly colored shiny plastic. After trying it out on both hardwood floor and rug, I was really impressed with its pickup power. It picked up dog fur, crumbs, sand/dirt and even bits of string!
Its small size makes it ideal for a dorm because I can hide it away under my bed or in my closet. The cord is the appropriate length for the kind of cleaning I do, because my space is limited. It's easy to use and lightweight, making getting it out and setting it up quick and easy (which is motivation to use it more often). I love that it's bagless and virtually mess-free; why would I want to clean up after a cleaning appliance?
The sleek design and bright colors (mine is hot pink) are what caught my initial attention. Eureka did a great job making it look nice! I also love that I can use it to clean out my car with the options to use the crevice tool and as a regular hand-held vacuum.
Downfalls: Wrapping the cord up is annoying and time-consuming. The cord holders are awkwardly spaced far apart and close to the body so the cord needs to accommodate to the convex shape. I gave up on the cord holders and just kept the plastic tie it came with, so now I fold up the cord and secure it with that and it works just as well. A retractable cord would be better but would be hard to do with this vacuum and keep the small size. Additionally, the cord would look nicer if it was the same color as the vacuum because it sticks out like a sore thumb.
With this type of plastic wheel hair and fuzz can easily get wrapped tightly around. It is difficult to remove and really affects the motion.
The telescopic handle is awesome, but I wish it was about 3-5 inches longer.
A little too noisy.
Basically, if you're looking for a small, lightweight and aesthetically pleasing vacuum this is the perfect choice. The positives outweigh the negatives- I can't recommend it enough!!!
