I have had a Boss Superlite since August of 2005 and love its light weight, power, and convenience. I have a long-haired dog (Pekingese) who sheds quite a bit and this little vac seems to pick up every single hair! It has very powerful suction and the dust cup is washable if you dont want to purchase replacements. My favorite feature is the small transparent window between the brushroll and the tank which can be opened to remove clogs. I admit it can be a little bit messy when emptying the canister, but I have owned several bagless uprights in the past with similar experiences. I plan to have this vacuum for a very long time.

April 17, 2007: I think any negative reviews may be from people who are trying to use this vacuum as a whole house vacuum and it's not made for that. We bought this vacuum to replace the Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum) Eureka Boss Super Light Upright Stick Vacuum - 402A. We needed a vacuum for the kitchen floor and rugs. We have three dogs and one cat. I have tried practically every kitchen vacuum on the market and so far the Eureka 442A is the best! It is a wonderful improvement over the Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum). It is quieter, it's smoother to handle, the brush roll is wider, it does a good job cleaning. This one even vacuums up the dry leaves that make it into our attached garage. I wiped our vacuum down with fabric softener to prevent static build-up which could make dog hair stick to the vacuum. You could probably use a dryer sheet to wipe it down, too.

Update as of June 6, 2007: After using this product for a couple of months now, I have encountered a couple of issues. 1. The power cord cover split exposing the internal wiring. (I did not let anyone else use this vacuum or change the way I vacuum.) 2. The dust cup filter is very difficult to clean compared to the old Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum). And after hand-washing it takes days for the filter to dry. I bought an extra dust cup filter because I couldn't wait days for the original to dry.

I just love my little Eureka bagless vacuum- it's lightweight,picks up cat hair and crumbs easily. No need to drag out the big heavy one. The price is easy, compared to the big ones, many of which don't do as good a job!! Can easily be taken upstairs. I heartily reccomend it.

I bought because of the price and needed a quick fix. It actually sucks up quite a bit, but the dust and grime just packs onto that filter and when you empty the cup, you have to pull off the hair and gunk from the filter... gross! Kind of messy. Bagless vacuums are such a hit now...but I don't see why! I'd rather buy bags than inhale or touch the dust inside when it's time to empty!

This one works great! It is a quality-good loooking, lightweight, powerfull, easy to clean vacume.....AND it's inexpensive. The filter is tough too. You can clean it with a softbrush and water.

This Eureka can do as good a job as the big boys on bare floor and thiner carpets. Keep in mind that it is an "everyday vacume", so it's a good idea to clean it out often.
I bought mine because I have two dogs, one of which is a Jack Russell, and anyone who has a Jack, knows that they can shed quite a bit.


I love the Eureka Boss Mini, it keeps me on top things! I recommend it to anyone.

I ordered this for my daughter and she loves it. It works great
and the handle folds down for smaller storage - great for
small living quarters.

We live with a Siberian Husky, those who have it will know what it is like, period!We do have Central Vacuum system,and once a week a cleaning service does a good job. But, the life between the two services was too hairy all over the house and carpets.

I used different up-right types (one without power roller), but it was cumbersome and not so satisfactory. I brought this Eureka SuperLite Bagless, on first go it picked up tank full of hair, from seemingly OK floor and carpet. I love its lightweight, powerful suction, and power brush head, and cost is real bargain. Even if it works for a year or more, I will repeat it again. I recomment it to all pet lovers, specially husky types.
The power brush is really good on carpets as well as on bare floor, since Husky hair are long and stiff, they need brush to be picked up.

1 of 3 vacuums I own. This one is for tile kitchen, wood floor & area rugs that I vacuum daily. Picks up dog hair, crumbs, etc. Light weight. I empty the plastic container after each vacuum. I clear the filter by banging it against the outside wall to get all of the dust out. I keep the vacuum setting to "carpet" vs "floor" which keeps the roller/brush moving. Works better that way. Vacuum does feel like a toy but works well. Would recommend.

The first time I used it wow it worked great but the dust clogged the filters and it took two days to dry when i tried to rinse the filter clean not even worth the low price

This vacuum is only good for picking up dust.
The filter must be cleaned often.
It should come w/ yr supply of filters and a link to where you can get more.
Save your money and stick w/sweeping till you can afford a better brand.Eureka 442B SuperLite Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
