Loves to eat pet hair, in a good way. October 29, 2009
Eureka The Boss Pet SmartVac Vacuum is amazing. I have owned it for a few months now, and I love it. To be fair though it does have one minor flaw, the extension wand does not stay in place while you vacuum. I use a rubber band to keep mine in place. Its a MINOR design flaw, and possibly only an issue with my personal vacuum. Regardless of that I would and will buy this Vacuum again. It is noisy, heavy and if put on linoleum on the lowest setting is a beast to move due to its great suction. BUT, I LOVE it!!! I have a 140lb Shepherd mix, and a 9lb chihuahua, both dogs shed a lot. This vacuum seriously loves eating the pet hair. With other vacuums I would have to go over a spot up to three times to get all the hair, this vacuum is always on the first try. Plus with the full power adjustable to go to the extension hose or the floor vac, it makes for some serious suction at all times. The tubes are all see through to help you locate any trapped items, and the vacuum itself can be lowered to completely flat to go under beds, sofas etc.. All the pet wand tools work wonderfully, the beater bar stops spinning if you put the vac in the upright position (so it doesn't harm your rugs, or carpets) and the best part is the non-tipping extension hose. Normally when you use a wand you are trying to reach places, my old vacuum used to tip over on me when I tried to reach someplace to far. This vacuum just moves toward your direction and NEVER tips over, its amazing!!! All in all I love this vacuum, its easy to use, cleans wonderfully, and gets 100% of all the dust and pet dander out of my house.
PS- to release the vac from upright position push very hard on the release pedal, it will feel like your going to break it, but it won't break. Just push till it releases from upright position.

Eureka The Boss Vacuum Cleaner blows dirt all over the place! August 26, 2010
I bought the Eureka "The Boss" Vacuum cleaner in 2008. Immediately, I realized that the air blowing out of the vacuum was much too low, and unless the dirt was swept into a pile first (I have hardwood floors), and the vacuum was positioned just so, dirt and dust would blow all over the place. The vacuum tube on the bottom frequently came out of position and so I was constantly bending over plugging the tube back in. On carpets, I would have to go over at least three or four times. I tried vacuuming up pine needles from our Christmas tree and the machine completely clogged! I did not use the vacuum heavily, as I frequently used a Swiffer mop on my hardwood and I have few carpers in the house. After 13 months, the machine was completely broken and would not pick up anything, it would just blow dirt all over the place. I recently bought a Hoover for half the price I paid for "The Boss" and it is a THOUSAND times better than Eureka's piece of junk. I will never buy a Eureka vacuum again - they are poor quality, unreliable and overpriced.

Good value for the price December 12, 2011
Pros:
great suction,great price,pet hair,ManeuverabilityCons:
Insufficient cord storage hooksI love this vaccuum! It picks up anything and everything off the floors including pet hair. I also like the pet paw feature that allows me to vaccuum my furniture free of pet hair from our yellow lab and our cat as well. It has grat suction and maneuverablility.
My only complaints about this vac is that the light is poorly placed in my opinion but I don't clean in the dark and the cord storage hooks are not sufficient enough. They need to be longer, deeper or bigger because I can wrap my cord on it and it ends up coming off the bottom hook so I just wrap the cord up and drape it over the top of my vac.
Eureka Boss great vacuum for the price September 15, 2010
I got the Eureka Boss vacuum as a wedding gift almost five years ago and it still works great. Although I have heard Dyson are the best, this is a great alternative at a fraction of the price. Just make sure to clean out the bagless container before each vacuum or the results are less than par.
