Customer Reviews of Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum
Customer Rating:  Summary: Great vacuum Comment: This is my second time to buy this model. My first one is 2 years old and going strong. We have replaced the belt on the first one a few months ago. I needed a second vacuum for our vacation home. I am happy with the suction (much better than the bagless models) and the attachments are great. Customer Rating:  Summary: You get exactly what you pay for, no more BUT certainly no less Comment: I bought this vacuum on the recommendation of a major consumer product review organization; while two vacuums had higher ratings, this one cost about half as much. For the most part, I am glad I did not spend the extra money. First and foremost, it has adequate power for the job and the rotary beaters are efficient. I had used an old Hoover for over 12 years and thought I was getting my carpet clean, I was deluded. The difference in the looks of the carpet was immediately apparent. The Eureka was far more effective. Secondly, it is clean. It uses a traditional replaceable bag to collect dust but has a HEPA filter over the exhaust port to collect fine particulate. There was no fine dust in the air or dust smell. The accessories mount on the body of the vacuum, but while convenient they are not completely secured. The brush falls off occasionally. It is very easy to shift from floor cleaning to the hose attachments; you simply turn the handle of a valve on the upper body of the vacuum. The extensions are long enough to reach an 11 ft ceiling. Shifting to different carpet pile heights is also easy and convenient. The consumer organization gave two reasons for not giving this vacuum a top rating. First they said it was not the as easy to maneuver as it might be. This is true; other vacuums are easier to shove about and this one is not power assisted. They also dinged it for being noisier than the two more expensive vacuums. While this is probably true, after the ol' Hoover I was delighted at how quite it was. Also making it quieter would affect the price. The plastic of the body could be a bit more rugged but again this would increase the price. My home is small; if you really spend a lot of time behind a vacuum, you probably want to spend a bit more. This lack of rugged construction probably explains the huge variability in the product reviews. Caveat emptor - the instructions advise calling Eureka customer service and NOT taking the machine back to the place where you purchased it if it is defective. This could be a problem. And - some assembly required. All-in-all, good vacuum, value for money. Customer Rating: Summary: Not worthy the money Comment: I was pretty happy about this vacuum during my first time of using it, it has pretty good suction power. I gave it 4 stars for my first review. But the problem occurred only a few minutes into the use for the second time, the brush stopped rolling. I noticed that there was no suction power. I brought it to the nearby warranty station, and it was found out that the belt was broken. it has been only used once for normal in-house cleaning and I neither saw anything unusual got caught nor heard any noise during the cleaning. The service guy told me that the belt is not the good type and unfortunately is not under warranty, to replace it I need to pay more than $40 and he is not sure how long the new belt will last or if any other problems will happen as he has no confidence in this model at all. He also mentioned that Consumer Report doesn't know what they are doing when ranking the vacuum cleaner. Customer Rating: Summary: Spend more money Comment: I bought this vacuum a year ago after reading all these positive reviews and I disagree completely with these reviews. This thing is heavy, cheap and I would never buy it again. The whole vacuum exudes cheapness from the footswitch to the cord holder(that doesn't work) I can't wait till it dies and I can buy something better. Save your money for another month and buy something decent. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Vac Comment: This vac does everything that I need. Had a hard time changing the belt after I vacuumed some clothes. It seems like a manufacturer mistake, but the motor crankshaft was melted to the side of the vac where the belt is suppose to be changed. Took me a while to figure it out, but with a drill, screwdriver and hammer I was able to fix it.

Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. Choosing Appliance -> Taps Dual-flow mixers provide independent hot, cold or mixed water after leaving the end of the spout. They can be deck-mounted on the sink or pillar/bridge-mounted for a more traditional look. Alternatively, choose a monobloc tap, which is a single-hole fitting that usually has two handles for hot and cold water supply. Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum
