“Loves to eat pet hair, in a good way.”

Eureka The Boss Pet SmartVac Vacuum is amazing. I have owned it for a few months now, and I love it. To be fair though it does have one minor flaw, the extension wand does not stay in place while you vacuum. I use a rubber band to keep mine in place. Its a MINOR design flaw, and possibly only an issue...

“Eureka The Boss Vacuum Cleaner blows dirt all over the place!”

I bought the Eureka "The Boss" Vacuum cleaner in 2008. Immediately, I realized that the air blowing out of the vacuum was much too low, and unless the dirt was swept into a pile first (I have hardwood floors), and the vacuum was positioned just so, dirt and dust would blow all over the place. The vacuum...

“Eureka Boss great vacuum for the price”

I got the Eureka Boss vacuum as a wedding gift almost five years ago and it still works great. Although I have heard Dyson are the best, this is a great alternative at a fraction of the price. Just make sure to  clean out the bagless container before each vacuum or the results are less than par.

“Eureka The Boss Pet SmartVac Vacuum is AWESOME!!!”

Awesome vacuum! The best my family has used. It sucks up everything! It is VERY heavy but yet well worth it...

“We've used other brands but Eureka is the best.”

We've had other brand of vacuum cleaners over the years but Eureka is the best. It has the strongest cleaning power for a less expensive price. I recommend it to my children and friends.

“Better than Dyson”

I have a dyson ball which recently broke. I also have two cats. I took the dyson in to get repaired, but after about a week, the accumulation of cat hair had gone too far and my dyson was still not repaired. I picked this up based on the reviews on here and when I turned it on, I could really feel the power. I set it to work on a dark carpet that was graying from all the cat hair. 2 minutes later the carpet was like new. This thing picks up a LOT of dirt, hair, etc. and the pet hair attachment is awesome. I highly recommend.

“Best Bang 4 The Buck”

I never realized stiffer bristles on the brush make such a difference. It really does fluff the carpet and fills bags fast proving how good it works. I don't have pets I bought it based on the massive and super sealed hepa filter to hold dust not just blow it back in to the air. It's a little heavy when using attachment on stairs but well worth it with the power handheld brush. I really wish I would have bought a vac. like this years ago I always went for the cheap models but never again.

“LOVE THIS MACHINE!”

I have 3 dogs that all shed. My last vacuum didnt even last a year with all the fur. After researching what vacuums are best for dog hair (and general pick up) i decided on this one and i am so glad i did! It really lives up to all the great reviews. I highly recommend it to anyone with a pet. My one complaint is that it is heavy to push around but by far the best for the money!

“Great Vacuum at a Great Price”

We read all the great reviews of the Eureka Boss Vacuum (Consumer Reports Best Buy) and found (at the time) the best price on Kmart.com. It shipped free and very came very quickly. The vacuum is great. It has great suction power, thanks in part to a switch that can direct all power either to the hose or the floor roller, so they are not competing for power usage. The Power Paw attachment actually does work quite well also (a similar tool on my last vacuum was not worth its weight in pennies). Just two "cons": first, the vacuum is heavy. However, its power makes up for it. Second, the foot pedal... read full review »

“Expensive????”

“Eureka Pet Lover”

This item is all it states it is and then some. I have a 165 lb great Pyrenees and believe me he Sheds!!! I would burn through a vaccumm every 6 months I have had this one for a year and it still keeps on making my carpets and funiture and curtains look new again. There are no cons, it does use bags often but look at what it is sucking up (alot) It does its job. I have never had a problem with my foot lever and it has a heavy pull because of the suction power, which is great. I get a work out and extremely clean carpets and with the HEPA filter good bye dust mites and pet dander. I use my eureka... read full review »

“worth the money”

This is the best vaccuum I have had. I would never buy bagless or another brand, the cleaning power for an owner of 2 dogs that shed a lot is great. I purchased my second one after my original one just started losing some suction after about 8 years

“Good value for the price”

I love this vaccuum!  It picks up anything and everything off the floors including pet hair.  I also like the pet paw feature that allows me to vaccuum my furniture free of pet hair from our yellow lab and our cat as well.  It has grat suction and maneuverablility.   

My only complaints about this vac is that the light is poorly placed in my opinion but I don't clean in the dark and the cord storage hooks are not sufficient enough.  They need to be longer, deeper or bigger because I can wrap my cord on it and it ends up coming off the bottom hook so I just wrap the cord up and drape it...
