Eureka BOSS Smart Vac Ultra 4870DT

Date Published: 10/30/06

Performance, value, and low maintenance are key qualities of the Eureka BOSS Smart Vac Ultra 4870DT.

With keen attention to details, this smartly designed vacuum truly keeps the needs of the consumer in mind. The body of the appliance was developed to be tip-resistant, keeping it upright and stable when using the onboard tools. An extra-large air tube accommodates larger pickups and means less potential for bothersome clogging. The cleaning path is a full 15 inches for faster chore completion, and the large brush roll can be turned off for safe, effective bare-floor cleaning.

For those of us who don't like, or don't know how, to change a vacuum cleaner belt, this model offers some relief. Its nonstretch, extended-life belt works on a pulley system to reduce pressure and keep it in working order for longer periods of time, meaning fewer belt changes and better performance.

For those concerned with air quality, the unit utilizes a True HEPA sealed filtration system, clearly marked and easy to access on the front body panel. Replacing the HEPA filter couldn't be simpler--open the clear window, remove the old filter, pop in the new filter, and push door shut.

The Eureka BOSS Smart Vac Ultra 4870DT is a well-designed, fully featured cleaner that is reasonably priced and well worth a look.
