Eureka Boss Upright Vacuum

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

Eureka 5856BV Boss Upright Vacuum comes with a 12-amp motor that gives you great suction. It pulls up dirt from the very bottom of carpet. Also the Boss comes with a HEPA filter system. The HEPA filters out 99.97% of allergens, dust, and pollen that lie in your carpet and cause you to sneeze and trigger allergies. Another feature of the Boss is that it has an extra-long extension hose with attachements so you can vaccum up high as well as down low. The bagless design of the vacuum makes it very easy to empty. Some bagless vacuum are cumbersome and difficult to empty without getting dirt and dust everywhere, but not the Boss.

My one complaint is that the dust spinner attachement that comeson the vacuum does not work as well as I would like. I would recommend simply dusting without the vacuum cleaner. This vacuum cleaner also comes with a dust filter that I found to last very long. However, when on occassion you need to clean out the dust filter, do so by washing it then quickly drying the filter. If the filter is left to air dry on its own bacteria could get into it and result in your vacuum smelling terrible. This is easily remedied by quickly drying the filter with a hair dryer.

Overall the boss is a great vacuum. It has superior suction and easy bagless operation. It’s suction is even better than some pricier vacuums. Amazon currently offers this vacuum for $99 plus free shipping. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone who wants a good vacuum for an afforadable price.

Instead of vacuuming in straight lines, you can vacuum around your furniture without any trouble. The vacuum head is wide and allows cover a lot of area quickly. This model of Dyson is less bulky than previous models, so it is easier to handle and use for everyday cleaning. Of course, the best thing about a Dyson is the suction.
