....This is by far the GREATEST Eureka that I have ever bought!...I have had it for over a year without any problems. With three small dogs in the house I use it everyday! GREAT suction!...Consumer Reports gave this one GRAND reviews and so do I!

Went back to a bagged vacuum after having numerous bagless quit working on me & tiring of their terrible suction. It has worked well & been problem free.

-yes it is heavy
-bags need to be replaced frequently because they fill so quickly which I take as a sign of how well it is picking up
-excellent suction
-I absolutely will buy another Eureka Boss SmartVac to replace this one when the time comes

I am on my second 4870J smart boss. It starts out great, then things start going wrong. The first one I had the brush roll would not turn off. It's not good to be using the hose with the brush roll still running. So I took that one back. The second one I got it started out good, good suction quiet, but after about 2 weeks it got really loud, sounds like a loud lawn mower, I read the manual and tried everything to fix it and it didn't help. It has good suction but it doesn't last, if you buy one, keep your receipt.

Works great. It made my ivory(!!!) rugs look new after one quick pass. Don't hesitate! Consumer Reports was on the money with this recommendation.

I bought this vacuum based on the Consumer Reports mag. reveiw. It has held up to its ratings. A good value vacuum!

The Eureka Boss worked great until the motor blew in it about a year and a half after buying it. It was a bit heavy but had great suction.

This vacuum cleaner is a piece of junk. I totally agree with a previous reviewer - It starts out good enough, but after you use it a few times, it just starts falling apart. After using it maybe 3 or 4 times, the roll brush quits moving - we replaced the belt, it was okay for maybe one more quick vacuum then it quits moving again. The ONLY reason I even gave it two stars was because I do like the attachments - which is what I am having to vacuum my whole house with right now since the brush won't roll anymore. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! I'm buying the Kenmore Progressive Upright this weekend - it has rave reviews!
