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 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. --Brian Olson

 great for tile October 6, 2008
T. Tong (Texas)
I purched this because our house is 85% tile and 15% carpet. We have three very young kids so the floors are always a mess. This works well. It is bit heavy but it does replace the broom and dust pan. IT is easy to go from floors to carpet. Consumer reports rated one of the best buys. I would agree for the money.
A Great Vacuum Cleaner... Not Perfect, But Great October 3, 2008
Reverend Dan (Outer Banks, NC)
This is a powerful and efficient vacuum. It does require some common sense to use it, maintain it and put it together properly. Idiots should not attempt to use this vacuum. You will only be frustrated. Or, worse, you might suck your cat into the bag.
But, seriously, this vacuum will suck the paint off the walls if you're not careful. As you would expect, suction diminishes as the bag fills and the HEPA filter begins to fill with dust. Not changing the bag and filter often enough could cause the powerful motor to overheat.
If your vacuum overheats and dies, it's your fault, not the vacuum's. Vaccums have to BREATHE. If you're an idiot, write a note and tape it to the vacuum so you don't forget.
The floor switch (disengages the beater bar) DOES work. It helps to lower the handle all the way down before attempting to flip the switch. In fact, that's the only way I can get the switch to work. But, it does work.
The utility hose is clear. That's interesting. But, it is also much too thin, in my opinion. It will likely begin leaking sooner, rather than later, and need replacing. But, it's a small price to pay for the excellent performance. I also find the Boss to be much quieter than my old Eureka. I find it quite tolerable.
Pay attention to what you're doing... keep the powerhead properly adjusted for the surface you're cleaning, service the vacuum properly, and I believe you will be a happy camper. It's not the best vacuum for little old ladies, due to it's bulk and weight, but the average person should do fine with it.
Happy cleaning!
wonderful suction, but HEAVY October 2, 2008
Melanie (Fairfax County, Va)
This vacuum cleaner has wonderful cleaning power, but I find it extremely heavy to push and pull around. The cord is nice and long(maybe too long).
 Best we've had September 27, 2008
Gordruns (Warren, MI United States)
Well after half a dozen uses I can definitely say this is the best performing vacuum we've ever owned. The price is right and the thing picks up everything in sight. It is heavier than most other vacuums, but if the brushes are set to the appropriate height, vacuuming really isn't that difficult, it virtually glides along. Vacuums we've had in the past have struggled to pick up dog hair from upholstery, not the Eureka 4870MZ Boss.
I spent a long time researching vacuums and I'm glad I did, for the money you won't find a better vacuum anywhere.
Sturdy! Gets the dog hair, sand, etc.. September 16, 2008
Sara Mosser (Carrollton, GA USA)
I researched vacume cleaners on Consumer Reports before I bought, as I wanted one that could handle a few rugs and hardwood floors- we have a 2 year old and 2 labs. Plus we just moved to the coast and there is a lot of SAND! This is a loud, heavy machine that reminds me of my Grandmother's, but it works! It gets everything up, whether it's on the bare floor or the rugs, and it has the hose if you need it as well. This is a bit annoying to me, as I find that attachments just fall off and get in the way, but they are handy at times. Anyhow, there are some bad vacumes and some way overpriced ones out there, so for the cost this one is great!
