Tools and Hardware Reviews of Eureka Boss Smart Vac Pet Lover Vacuum Cleaner 4870SZXCustomer Review: poor design clogs quickly Summary: 1 Stars
I have two dogs that shed and as a result needed a special vacuum to keep up with the shedding. I bought the Eureka based on reputation and hype. I am as disappointed as I possibly could be, If I could, I would dump this miserable vacuum at their doorstep. Problems? from the very first use - after vacuuming half a room with visible dog hair, I thought it strange that there was no hair or dirt in the filter canister, but kept going, Before I could finish the room, it started blowing the air and dirt away, not picking it up. I turned it off, unplugged it, checked it out. I could see that at the point where the hose entered the filter canister, hair had clogged it. Upon further checking, I could see the hose itself was plugged. Now I am not an engineer, but this design looked bad = especially for a vacuum that was pulling dog hair - it needs to be more streamlined and direct. It has to travel way too far with too many angles, and there is no easy way to unplug the hose without unscrewing the hose from the vacuum. I took it apart put it back together in the event that maybe I put it together wrong. Second test, same result. Belt was fine, had plenty of sucking power but not enough to pull anything all the way in,up, around, up and over into the filter. I have had to settle for the same routine, one room is all it is good for, basically enough to fill the hose before it plugs up, the the same routine, unscrew the plate, take off the hose, hook it up to a garden hose, blow it out with water (because the hose is too long to run a wire hook to pull hair out. I am giving up today and going to by the Hoover that was more money but not much more. Two emails to Eureka went unanswered, probably because they know the unit is faulty, or they will blame me for having two dogs, that it was meant for use with chihuaha's hair. THis is the last Eureka product I will ever buy. Buyer beware, take one for a test spin first.
