4.0 out of 5 stars Versatile and great for pet hair, October 18, 2003

By	F. Gillett (Salem, Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was pleasantly surprised at the ability of this little vac to pick up pet hair. Removing the handle is accomplished easily to facilitate cleaning pet hair from furniture. The vac can be operated with the revolving brush on or off by selecting the appropriate setting at the switch.

It's great for small quick cleanups on carpet or cleaning bare floors. Make no mistake, this is not a replacement for a full-size, full-power vac. As a test I used this product on a section of heavy-traffic carpet that went two weeks without cleaning. It picked up the pet hair fairly well and filled it's dust cup. I then cleaned the same section with a new Bissel Cleanview Bagless upright (I've also written a review for the Bissel). The Bissel picked up enough pet hair, dust and dirt to fill the Eureka's dust cup several times. The dust cup on the Eureka is easy to remove but messy to empty and tapping it to remove the dust results in dust flying everywhere.

Keeping in mind what it's designed for, I give the Eureka Boss Superbroom 4 stars. If you have lots of carpeting in your home, don't even consider this to be your primary vac. As a primary vac I would give it only one star.

3.0 out of 5 stars Functional, but mediocre performance, July 12, 2004

By	Bobby Kwan "office monkey" (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this vacuum for my dorm room, and it worked alright on the low carpeting of my room. The suction in addition to the the rolling brush will get most of the dirt off, but you will need several passes. If the dirt or whatever you are trying to vacuum is too concentrated in one area, the vacuum will sweep it forward on the ground, and you'll have to keep passing over, slowly, it before it'll be sucked up.

When I brought this home, it also worked on my plush carpeting, but at a severely diminished level. It will require several slow passes to clean properly. However, it will still work.

It's small form-factor make it perfect for small areas, such as dorm rooms. However, for larger areas, or for places that you want to get *clean*, I would get a larger, real vacuum.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my needs., August 21, 2003

By A Customer

I have a great vacuum, but wanted something simple for the kitchen, bathroom, and other places that I didn't want to have to fight with the big vacuum to clean.

The SuperBroom is great for everyday and general cleaning. You can also remove the long handle and use the broom much like a powerful dustbuster. (The top of my fridge looks fantastic now)

Although I mainly use this for hard floors/tile, I did have great results on my carpeted steps.

Some people complain that this won't stand up on it's own... which I don't understand. It leans when needed and is so light that rarely do I ever stand it; except when I'm finished and need to store the broom in my closet. And, it's so small it fits in their perfectly.

Why not 5 stars?

It's good for daily cleaning, but with the title of "Superbroom" it should be able to pick up even the must stubborn crumb.
