Does The Job - Getting Better In Design, January 20, 2008
This review is from: Eureka 5902BVZ The Boss Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
The Eureka `The Boss' vacuum cleaner has come along way. First, the bad: It is still somewhat bulky to roll around, the electrical cord still is manual and the filter inside the dust container is a problem The round filter that DOES collect all the allergens, pollen and dust really works, but when you need to dump out the clear container, you need to remove the filter AND shake out the particles in the filter (do it outside). Now for the good: The wide track is rubberized for protection and the adjustable height adjusts for a deep rug to a bare floor. It truly does suck up all particles (kitty litter, dust, etc.) without spitting it out the back of the vacuum cleaner. The `spin duster' is a neat attachment, as it is soft and really does attract and pull out dust. Simply putting it back in its case and turning of the vacuum cleaner sucks out the 'spin duster'. There are several great attachments that are very handy and handily placed. So, besides the noise and the bulk, this cleaner is the best I have had in my household to this day.

Hate to clean, but love this vacuum, March 4, 2006
This review is from: Eureka 5902BVZ The Boss Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
I really hate to clean. I can think of a million things I would rather do on the weekends.
We have a cat and a longcoat Akita who weighs about 100 pounds and blows his coat twice a year. That's a lot of hair! We also have mostly hardwood floors with oriental or wool area rugs. I need something that would work with everything: pet hair on the back of the couch, hardwood floors, area rugs, and dusty corners. This vacuum does everything.
Features:
POWER PAW: I love it. It's ingenius how it works with the suction of the hose. And it really does take the hair off of couches and chairs!
SUCTION POWER: Unbeliveable. When using the hose portion, it parallels the power of my huge shop vac! I used to drag it out once a month to give the whole house a real good once-over, but not anymore... It does spew out a lot of hot air, though.
RUG CLEANING CONTROL BAR: The rug cleaning control bar is so helpful with all the different types of rugs in our house. You can actually hear the vacuum getting more or less pwoerful when you move it.
COOL DUSTER TUBE THING: This is pretty neat too. It seems to work well for me, and it just adds to the convenience of this vacuum - one less implement to drag out of the closet when I am cleaning.
DIRT CUP: Easy to dump. Easy to take out and put back too. Holds a lot of dirt!
NOISE LEVEL: Not too loud at all.
OVERALL IMPRESSION: Although this vacuum is heavy, it is not hard to push. I love the bumper on the front of it, because I am always running into furniture legs. The only thing that I'm not crazy about is the hose - it is so powerful that it is difficult to keep it stretched out while you are using it. It's a little inconvenient, but a small price to pay for a really really good vacuum. And who can beat the price? Move over Dyson, here comes the Eureka Boss 4D!

Shoulda called it "The Bomb Upright", April 14, 2006
This review is from: Eureka 5902BVZ The Boss Upright Vacuum (Kitchen)
The reviews about the thoroughness and efficiency were not overblown. My apartment was just steam-cleaned and after I ran this puppy around it sucked up a cup of filth. It was shocking. I left the carpet height setting at the default and when vacuuming it actually felt like it wasn't doing anything. I could see a change in the nap of the rug but was worried this thing wasn't working. WRONG!
I would also like to point out that I think this thing is pretty light and VERY quiet. Realize my prior machine was Hoover Elite upright circa 1995. However, I've heard other brand new machines that are 3 times as loud. This was a great buy for me.
The only negative would be that the static charging wand seems to want to come out of the tube that tries to contain it. This is a minor affliction and can be addressed any number of ways.
The bottom line: 2 Thumbs Up!
