Right-Hand Battlemate in 2007 Flea Fight: Eureka Boss Smartvac 4870

 

In March 2007, our home was disgustingly infested by fleas. Not willing to outright poison our home, our pets and ourselves, we desperately researched alternatives online and decided to try out some "natural" flea remedies, including Only Natural Pet...

Best Suck for the Buck!!

 

Our vacuum recently died - not from overuse I'm ashamed to say, but I believe the main thing was a culmination of 12 years, 3 dogs and my long hair. It was a Hoover and it had a great run, but hair's a killer to a vacuum. I can't tell you how many...

Suction, lightweight, picks up pet hair

Unfortunately, it will not vacuum by itself (!)

Works OK, but cumbersome and difficult to use

 

There are other reviews with the features of this vacuum. We bought ir mostly on a Consumer Reports recommendation. We've been absolutely underwhelmed ever since we started using it. I can't find a single thing that it does extremely well, but in most ...

Good vacuum power, brush works OK, HEPA filter, brush auto shutoff in upright/locked position.

Heavy, cumbersome, hand-held hose plugs easily, marginal rotating brush power.

Great suction, quiet, quality construction, excellent features

Might be a bit heavy if you have problems with anything over 15 lbs.

Excellent Deal for the Money

 

In the last couple of years I've become obsessed with vacuum cleaners. Not something that I gave a passing thought to in the past, but after getting a dog, things changed. Always was a hand-me-down vacuum user but no more.
