Bad belt design

byhsjrev Jun 5, 2002
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Gets a lot of dirt on the first pass, quiet, $129 at Target
Cons Belt design, heavy
Recommended it? No

I was very impressed with this cleaner for the first 10 minutes or so. Then I got a little too close to a shoe and the lace got sucked into the roller. I turned off the switch as quickly as I could, a couple of seconds at the most, and the drive belt was burned through by the friction of the motor... Read full review »

Pros Compact, for all it yields, easy to run, swich parts easy!!
Cons I cant stop vacuuming!
Recommended it? Yes

Let me tell you, I grew up using one of those 50 ton metal Kirbys from God-knows how long ago....I can say that I know a good vacuum when I use one. Sure there are prettier vacuums out there maybe fancier ones...but for just plain old results and ease this Eureka SmartVac has got you covered!

Works OK, but cumbersome and difficult to use

byapowell Feb 2, 2008
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Good vacuum power, brush works OK, HEPA filter, brush auto shutoff in upright/locked...
Cons Heavy, cumbersome, hand-held hose plugs easily, marginal rotating brush power.
Recommended it? No

There are other reviews with the features of this vacuum. We bought ir mostly on a Consumer Reports recommendation. We've been absolutely underwhelmed ever since we started using it. I can't find a single thing that it does extremely well, but in most respects it performs consistently at the... Read full review »

smartvac is junk

bycatfeeder Oct 2, 2007
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 4 Comments
Pros It was under 400.00
Cons trash
Recommended it? No

I had trouble with this vacuum cleaner immediately. After about four used, the beater bar did not go around consistently and then the belt broke. Before I ever filled the first dust bag, the second belt broke. I went back to where I purchased the vacuum (Best Buy). I thought the vacuum was... Read full review »

DO NOT BUY-HORRIBLE

byhateeureka May 4, 2007
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros attachments and attachment storage is well thought out
Cons poor durability, difficult to use, bad design
Recommended it? No

I am astonished that these vacuums get any positive reviews, as my experience has been entirely negative this appliance, right from the start. This vac is extremely heavy and difficult to maneuver. And certain design choices boggle my mind; for instance, air from the motor blows out the front of... Read full review »

My first real vacuum

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Looks nice, easy to manuever,brings things to the surface.
Cons May not suck up what it brings to the surface. Heavy if carrying.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought the Eureka Boss Smartvac 4870J just yesterday. I was excited about getting it because I've read so many good things about it and the price was right. ($138.00)

Assembly: You would think sliding a handle on and twisting a couple of screws would be simple and for most people it will... Read full review »

I loved it for about about 3 weeks

byfortdixmom Oct 10, 2006
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Great suction, really cleaned the floor. Used brush attachment on drapes - worked well.
Cons Air blowing out hepafilter blows loose hair in front of vacuum up into air. Heavy.
Recommended it? No

After doing much research on consumer websites and reading reviews, I picked the Eureka Boss Smart Vac. For about 3 weeks, it was wonderful. When I turned it on, it was such a pleasant surprise from my old vacuum cleaner that was very old and noisy. This vacuum hummed quietly. It also seemed self... Read full review »

Yet another disappointment

9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
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 »

Cheaply Made

bykarly07 Aug 8, 2008
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Good suction, reaches high places with extentions
Cons Plastic construction, falling apart
Recommended it? No

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 »

The Boss is the Boss of all vacuums at any price!

bybuckeyecharly Jun 5, 2008
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Everything, it all works just as claimed by Eureka. And, it is QUIET!
Cons Foot operated handle release is still a bit tight, but that will surely loosen up.
Recommended it? Yes

As with most long-time married couples, we have had many vacuums over the years, mostly Eureka with a couple of Hoovers interspersed along with one single disaster called Dirt Devil. So when our 10 year old Eureka began to make funny noises, accompanied by a obvious lack of suction, we decided that... Read full review »
