Eureka - Eureka Boss - SmartVac Review Summary

Opinion is split on The Eureka Boss SmartVac, as some feel it "sucks in a good way," while others find that the vacuum is "nothing but problems." Those that appreciate the vacuum had struggled with other brands such as Hoover and Bissell, but felt this Eureka model did the job. Some have even tried the very expensive models, only to give them away, as they find the Boss SmartVac "picks up up everything and even more that has been stuck in your carpet over time." Even those that clean houses for a living prefer this bagless vacuum over others because of its adjustability and the telescopic duster. Reviewers that aren't too keen on the Smart Vac found that it didn't last long, with the Turbo Nozzle being the first thing to go. They all agree the SmartVac picks up pet hair really well, but it doesn't do any good, as "the hose clogs very easily," and because it's bagless, they find they find themselves emptying the dirt cup too often.

This Machine SUCKS in a Good Way

After years of tring to find a good vacuum, I found one in this Eureka "The Boss" SmartVac for Pet Lovers.

I have gone thru both a Hoover (fell apart within one year) and a Bissell that fell apart alot and I had to constantly patch together during use. But money is tight and I held onto it for years....

It is nothing but problems.

The Eureka Boss vacuum has been nothing but problems for me. I purchased this vacuum to replace another vacuum. It worked great for about the first month. It picked up all the cat litter and cat hair in my house. The first thing to go was the Turbo nozzle. It broke and would not pick up any hair off...

Too much time spent unclogging hose
picking up after pets

I purchased this vacuum because we have 2 dogs and a cat and lots of pet hair.  The vacuum is great for picking up the hair, but the hose clogs very easily where the hose goes into the vacuum.  It seems that I spend more time unclogging than I do vacuuming.  To unclog you have to remove screws which is a pain.  Hair should not clog a vacuum so easily.  I would recommend this vacuum to people who do not have a lot of animal hair, but I would not buy this cleaner again.

A heavy-duty vacuum to get the job done!

I would recommend this vacuum to anyone. I bought this bagless when my old vacuum died. The salesperson said it was a great vacuum for pet owners - and he was right. I have two dogs and lots of people in my house all the time and use this vacuum just about everyday. I also clean other people's houses for an extra job and never go anywhere without this vacuum. It works like no other vacuum I've used. It has a feature that you can adjust the suction and it has a telescopic duster that you can suck the dust into the canister by pressing a button. The duster could be a little better - but I like the...

The thing I hate most about this vacuum is that the bagless feature, which should be handy is actually a pain if you have any amount of work to do.  I have 2 dogs, a cat and four people living in my house, of which the livingroom, hallway and bedrooms are carpeted. ( I have hardwoods in the  entry, diningroom, kitchen and familyroom). I have trouble with dog hair getting balled up in the hose to the cup, and find myself having to empty the dirt cup frequently.  I will go back to a bagged cleaner soon.  I have owned this cleaner for several months, and it barely works now.

I have owned many sweepers from cheap to very expensive and this is the best one I have ever owned.  I'm giving my daughter my very expensive one.  This is great for people who have animals that shed alot like I do.  It picks up everything and even more that has been stuck in your carpet over time.  Don't go buy the really expensive vacuum for pet hair and get this one.  You won't be sorry.

I thought buying a bagless would somehow be better buying this one having 5 cats it seems everytime i vacuum the cat fur gets stuck up inside and i have to remove it by hand and thats a pain.I would not advise anyone to buy this one it does not get corners either.
