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

Summary: Powerful Cleaner 2008-08-27
Comment: This vacuum cleaner is very powerful. It pulled out stuff our other sweeper had left in the carpet. On the downside, very noisy. Also to pull the sweeper backwards on a high pile carpet, you must learn to lift up the front rollers to prevent the brushes from touching the carpet or it becomes very difficult to use.

Summary: This is the new version of 4870GZ model! 2008-08-26
Comment: I have researched extensively for weeks while I was pregnant, looking for a new vacuum. After making my decision to purchase the maroon 4870GZ, I wanted to find it at a store where hopefully I could try it first. I couldn't find it anywhere. I was only finding the red and silver 4870MZ. I decided to order the GZ model anyway and received the red and silver 4870MZ! I asked my husband to look into why I got the wrong vacuum, and eventually found that it really is the same one, just new colors. This has never been mentioned anywhere.
I do have to say that we love this vacuum! It has very powerful suction even when the bag is full. The motor is also very quiet, which is a bonus with our newborn. The attachments are user friendly and the hose can reach pretty far. It has a very long electrical cord making it convenient to vacuum for longer periods without stopping. The vacuum is easy to push and pull on carpet. It also works great on my tiled kitchen floor. The only thing negative is that the foot release is a little awkward at first, but no big deal. I have always went for the expensive vacuums in the past, but this vacuum is by far the best vacuum I have owned.

Summary: Maybe the Second Time Around It'll Work Longer 2008-08-24
Comment: This is my second 4870; the first one worked great as long as it worked, which wasn't very long. After a little over two years it started smelling and acting like something was seriously wrong which happened to be the case. That 4870GZ is sitting in the garage waiting for me to decide what to do with it. It may be repairable or not but I have decided to retire it.
You may well ask why I would buy another one, well, that's a good question. I've never owned a vacuum before that stopped working after only 2+ years. I hope that this early malfunction was anomalous to that particular machine and not typical of the breed. While it worked, it did a really good job, therefore I've decided to give the maker and the model one more chance, and I hope I'm not sorry; I could not find a pattern of early failures on this model on the web. I also had an investment in bags, filters and belts that I hoped to be able to use. I'll admit that I feel as if I'm rolling the dice but hope for much better results this time.
The 4870MZ has an additional feature which the GZ model didn't have; the small brush attachment for cleaning stairs. Although we don't have stairs we do have some small carpeted spaces that are too narrow for the upright; this attachment does a good job in those areas.
The 4870 has done a very good job on our carpet, and is easily adjusted for bare floors. I was pleased enough to give it one more try; if this one only works for 2+ years I will write the model off as a lost cause. Only time will tell.

Summary: Great vacuum, but it is very heavy. 2008-08-20
Comment: I am very happy with this vacuum. It cleans very well and I like having most of the attachments right there on the body of the vacuum. It is quite heavy, though. While not a problem for me (6', 200lb. male), it may be worth considering if you are smaller or less strong.
It does have a control that you have to turn depending on whether you are vacuuming or using the hose and attachments (the yellow disc in the picture, near the top), and I have forgotten to switch it a couple of times, but that is my own learning curve and no fault of the vacuum.
Overall, a great value for the price. Highly recommended!

Summary: plastic breaks easily 2008-08-13
Comment: I bought this vacuum a year ago and within a few months the foot pedal release popped off of the machine completely. I had it replaced and it quickly popped off again. This time the clear plastic housing broke and would cost $29 to replace the part and $29 in labor. It can only be replaced with the same cheap clear plastic housing. It still works, and though heavy, i have been ok with it's performance. However, without the foot pedal, it will not stay locked in the upright position and falls when nudged or tugged slightly. This makes some operations difficult, especially when using the hose attachement.
