Summary: The Greatest Vacuum Ever!!!!!
Comment: Before I had purchased this vacumm I had used it previously a clients home I clean. Her old vacumm went kaput after I had worked for her for a year. I purchased it for myself about a week ago. I have cleaned for a living for approxiamatly 7 years now. I can honestly say I have probablly used 100 different brands of vacumms over the years. I can say without a doubt this vacuum is amazing and is the most powerful I have ever used. I have never used a Dyson, but I would venture to say I bet this vacumm probablly has better suction. Hands down the best...

Summary: Eureka 4870GZ Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum
Comment: I have owned 3 Fantom's along with various other brands. Having been disappointed in these I did my research before making this purchase. I also read the Consumer Report article and numerous customer reviews. In my honest opinion I found this to be an excellent cleaner. I have never owned a vacuum with as much suction. When others claim their carpets look new that is not an exaggeration. It is so powerful it literally pulls up the nap. The best test was moving furniture and noting that 2 slow passes would take out the indentations from the couch.

To address the weight of the vacuum, I find it to be no heavier than the ones I have previously owned. I have a two story house and find no problems getting it up the stairs. Please do not find this misleading, it does have weight to it.

I have not had problems with tools falling off the machine. I read the directions and made certain I put them into their proper place so this has not been an issue for me.

I have had no difficulty depressing the floor lever to allow the handle to drop down. It was a little stiff but I have noticed it loosened with time. I place my foot over the entire lever and it comes down with ease.

There is a cord lock at the top of the handle that will hold the cord up and away from the floor that I find very useful.

I was opposed to using bags but have found them to be much quicker, cleaner and easier to change as opposed to emptying the canister.

I found the bags at several locations but Wal-Mart has the best price.

The performance from carpet to bare floors has been great. Again I made certain to follow directions from carpets to floors. Also when using the proper height setting it makes the job so much easier.

The only thing I wish they would improve upon is the length of the hose. It is much too short. The cord is very generous in length.

Given I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars of other vacuums I have to rate this one high. If this vacuum lasts 2-3 years I will be thrilled. I would go back and buy another one.

Summary: 5 Star Vacuum
Comment: After reviews here and there we bought one at K Mart for 134.99. It's the 4870HZ model and it's blue instead of red but has the same features as the GZ.

Compared to our old Eureka Bravo Boss it's much quieter. I literally wore hearing protection with the old one. The suction power is incredible and is also powerful via the hose attachments.

It's a bit heavy but solid; I'm impressed with the quality. The hose is first class and will not kink but it should be longer for pictures on the walls. I've never seen an upright vacuum with long enough hoses anyway.

The "power paw" is nice but will not replace our Dirt Devil power brush hand held model for dog hair on the furniture. The power paw brush stops spinning if too much pressure is applied. It's fine if used with a light touch.

The 30'long cord is great. Add an extension cord if you live in an older house with few outlets. RR bags at K Mart are 5.99 for 3
and could not find them at Walmart. I use an Oreck XL at work and this one blows (sucks) it away.

Summary: Great vacuum
Comment: I love this vacuum. I had the eureka boss bagless and liked its performance but hated the mess of bagless. So I got this vacuum as I prefer the bags.

This is a great vacuum for someone who needs a heavy duty vacuum. It is very heavy. The switches and controls are stiff so you have to be rough with them. This is not a vacuum for someone with a bad back or is not very strong.

I need a heavy duty vacuum as I have 2 cats that shed non stop. For me this vacuum is ideal as it has really good suction so it picks EVERYTHING up; it works great both on bare floors and carpets; and the hose is very easy to use.

Summary: NIce Vac Overall
Comment: This vacuum is wonderful. It has great power and picks everything up super good! It is a bit heavy, but not so bad wear you'll hurt yourself. The attachemnts work just fine, but you can forget the Paw Attachment (useless in my opinion).
The surprising thing is how quiet it is compared to other vacs this size. I can still talk to my wife or kids and they can hear me as well as I can hear them just fine, all without shouting or having to turn the vacuum off.
Overall we are pleased with it....and also, it picks up dog hair great!
