Editorial Product Review:Item Description:Includes 4-piece tool set Stretch hose.
Amazon.com:Let's face it. Most vacuums just don't cut it when it comes to really cleaning a home or office. Pesky pet hair embeds deeper in carpet than traditional vacuums go; bits and pieces of tracked-in dirt and debris hunker down under floor trim just out of reach of the latest brush innovations, rendering us to the silliness of handpicking behind that expensive vacuum, filling our pockets with lint, and wondering--who's really the boss? Troubles like these made the folks at Eureka get down and dirty and, ultimately, design the Boss Smart-Vac Upright Vacuum. Offering powerful performance for everyday household cleaning, the Eureka Boss is the solution for people who insist on having a truly clean home. The Boss's Direct Air Control System features an air selector switch that lets you direct all suction either deep into the carpet or to the hose for easy above-the-floor cleaning. The Power Paw brush makes it easy to clean stairs and upholstery, and even claws up embedded pet hair, so Fido can spend more time inside. The motorized brush lets you go from carpet to bare-floor cleaning with the flick of a switch. The Boss Smart-Vac is powered by a beefy, 12-amp motor that provides plenty of suction power for deep-cleaning carpets, and leaves nothing behind on hard floors.
Pretty smart, right? Well, here's the really smart part. The Boss Smart-Vac isn't just the best household carpet- and floor-cleaning vacuum on the market; it's also equipped with a unique, sealed, HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97 percent of dust, pollen, allergens, and bacteria. So, vacuuming the house doesn't mean you have to dust afterward, or sneeze while you're doing it. Cleaner carpets and cleaner indoor air at the same time!
Plus, the Boss comes loaded with user-friendly features to take the frustration out of vacuuming. A wide 15-inch cleaning path covers a lot of ground quickly before company comes. In addition, the exclusive dust trap system captures debris and dust in three stages. A handy stretch hose extends to five times its original length for reaching around furniture and sucking the cobwebs off the ceiling. And, a 30-foot cord won't leave you coming up short. The bare floor brush is designed to smoothly glide across wood and tile floors while picking up more dust and debris in corners and along baseboards than any other model. One extra Type-R belt and one bonus bag come included. The vacuum cleaner measures 12 by 15 by 44 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Pretty Good Vacuum for the price
Having six long-haired dogs and two cats, I go through vacuums quickly. I've tried about every brand, including the expensive Dyson and Orecks, and the Eureka 4870 seems to pick up animal hair better than any I've had so far. After having just vacuumed with my Dyson, the Eureka managed to get much more dirt and hair out of the carpet! And I have asthma and allergies, and with the HEPA filtration on this vacuum, I don't have to wear a dust mask!
My gripes include the weight (quite a workout!); the paw attachment could be wider so fewer passes over furniture are required; and of course, the brush on-off switch, which I couldn't get to work properly.

great vacuum
It's everything I'd hoped it would be. It does an excellent job on hardwood floors and furniture.

My best investment in a long time...
This vacuum cleaner is by far the best value in sweepers that I've ever found - and I have had several different brand/models over the past 50 years. I am so impressed by it that I'm going to order a 2nd one for my business.

Should have read the 1 & 2 star reviews
What a piece of junk, the plastic foot pedal came off after 2 weeks; now the repair show is giving me grief because I bought it on Amazon and not from them.
