Pros Easy to Use, Effective, Good Value
Cons Noisy, Heavy
Recommended it? Yes

I have had this vacum cleaner for quite some time now and it's still going strong. Very good suction. I've had more expensive ones and didn't like them as much as as I like this one. Read full review »

Good suction, hard to use + hot cord

Pros Good suction; good for pet hair
Cons Heavy, hard to manuever, wands fall apart
Recommended it? No

I've had my Eureka 4870MZX for over a year now, and the power cord and plug are getting really hot, even with a short amount of use. I have just emailed Eureka about this, so haven't had time for a response. The first thing I noticed when I got the cleaner was how hard it is to manuever. It has no... Read full review »

Pros strong motor. good suction.  no dust blowing around room.
Cons hose stretched out so as to not stay secure
Recommended it? Yes

I use the eureka "the boss" 4870 for cleaning a 2 story house. What I love most is the strong suction that does a great job on the rugs.  The very long power cord is handy as well.  It all doesn't kick out the dust that my old upright bag did thanks to the HEPA filter.  The vac does...

Great Value and Suction but scares the baby

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to Use, Effective
Cons Heavy, Noisy
Recommended it? Yes

This vacuum is a great value. It is large and somewhat heavy, but self-propels pretty well. It has a knob that you turn when using the hose so the brush stops rolling and doesn't wear out your carpet. What a great feature! It had the best reviews out of perhaps 5 vacuums I looked at for this price,... Read full review »

Design/reliability/service are dissapointing

Pros The power paw attachemnt is nice, as is the HEPA filter.
Cons Eureka reliability and service sucks more than the vacuume does.
Recommended it? No

Soon after buying the vacuume, the belt shredded; replacements either shredded or stretched to the point where the brush rotor only spun on the hardwood floor.  The local authorized dealer pronounced the vacuume a piece of junk, and said he didn't know how to fix the problem, but he'd seen it many...

Don't buy this product!

Pros It didn't run long enough for me to discover any.
Cons Burns out after just a couple of hours of use. 
Recommended it? No

We bought this vacuum assuming it was a "name brand" quality product.  Because it was for our vacation home, we only used it for about an hour a year.  In the second year we had it (after it was out of warranty but with only an hour or two's use) it just quit after about 5 minutes of use.  We took...

Cons 4 belts in 8 months; can't find more belts.  Brush/roller spins in upright position.

Eureka SmartBoss.  Decided to go from canister to upright, and bagless back to bags.  Forget the RAVE reviews.  THIS THING TURNED OUT TO BE A PIECE OF CRAP!!!!  It broke FOUR belts over EIGHT months!!!  Now I can't even find replacement belts (even in the stores that sell the vacuum!!).  When you...

Pros Easy to use<br>Not too loud<br>Great suction<br>Sturdy.
Cons 1 awkward switch on it.
Recommended it? Yes

I needed a new vacuum with a HEPA filter, for a child with allergies.  I really really like this vacuum.  It's easy to use, not too loud, very good suction, seems sturdy, just does an all around great job.  I'm very happy with it, and feel I got a lot for my money.

Pros Works well, strong suction
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

This vacuum is not heavy as some would suggest. It is light in my opinion and we take it upstairs. This is a great vacuum and I have no complaints like I did on my last which was a $300+ Electrolux. Read full review »

I made the right decision

Pros Absolutely fantastic vac at a fantastic price.
Cons Not the easiest to push around, but not really an issue for me.
Recommended it? Yes

I wanted to make a smart decision, and did the research.  I was willing to spend up to 400 USD on a vac.  I am so glad I didn't.  The 4870 is a fantastic purchase.  I paid 150 USD for the vac, and extra bags.  I was a bit concerned because of the low price, but I read so many positive comments that...

Pros On board tools, if you use them
Cons Did not last
Recommended it? No

I too thought this vacuum was great...cheap, worked well, cleaned well, a little heavy and noisy but I was willing to put up with that if it cleaned the dog/cat hair out of my carpets and couches.

This worked good for about a year and a half. There was no sudden loss of function, and it... Read full review »

Pros Great suction, floor/hose switch, bare floor option
Cons Non-retractable cord, unlock pedal hard to push

I recieved this vacuum as a gift and couldn't be more pleased. It has a very powerful suction which has been able to suck up dog fur that my old upright had been unable to get and has been on my area rugs for months. Any vacuum that can battle and WIN against my shedding dog is a winner in my book... Read full review »

Best Suck for the Buck!!

Pros Suction, lightweight, picks up pet hair
Cons Unfortunately, it will not vacuum by itself (!)
Recommended it? Yes

Our vacuum recently died - not from overuse I’m ashamed to say, but I believe the main thing was a culmination of 12 years, 3 dogs and my long hair. It was a Hoover and it had a great run, but hair’s a killer to a vacuum. I can’t tell you how many times I had to sit down and cut (with a scissors)... Read full review »

Eureka The Boss Smartvac 5870 is the worst vacuum I've ever owned.

Pros I found no pros for this vacuum.
Cons heavy, bunglesome, old-fashioned cord, doesn't vacuum well at all.

We bought this vacuum last year because CONSUMER REPORTS said it was great at vacuuming up pet hair. My experience is that it is the worst vacuum for picking up pet hair. I have to sweep up hair with a broom after I vacuum with it on the kitchen floor. The pet hair is Schnauzer hair.

Pros Good suction, reaches high places with extentions

I had done extensive research before I bought this vacuum. I purchased it in 2004 and not even a year later it was falling apart. The plastic piece that holds the hose broke and now I just flop the hose over the front of the vacuum, resting on the attachments. The yellow foot pedal (also plastic)... Read full review »

Pros Sucks awesome, easy to use tool attachments, bagged so it's cleaner

Having bought many vacuums over the last 28 years of marriage, I am so glad I bought this Eureka Boss.

I would never be able to afford the expensive Dyson's and such. I had read all the reviews on so many vacuums and many talked about how the Eureka Boss sucked as well as the more... Read full review »
