Tools and Hardware Reviews of Refurbished Eureka Boss Upright Vacuum, R4870G
Customer Review: Great Vacuum - the second time...
Summary: 4 Stars
The first rebuilt unit worked fine but was missing some of the parts that hold the accessories in place. Amazon promptly issued a Call Tag for UPS to pick up this unit. There was some confusion over the restocking time before the replacement would be shipped. Initially they said it might be 6 weeks but the replacement arrived within a few days.
This reconditioned unit was complete and in good physical condition. I personally think it is relatively quiet for the amount of suction this provides. The overall weight is the only negative we can think of and that really isn't that big of a concern. However, the features, performance and value make this purchase a $69 no-brainer.
Customer Review: Dog hair is FINALLY gone
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two 100 pound dogs that shed incessantly. This vacuum picks up the hair with no problem. Any other vacuum I've used has left so much fur on the rugs that if you run a comb across the rug you'll get fur. No longer. And as good as it is at getting fur up it's at least that good at getting the dirt that comes in with them. If you have pets I highly recommend it because it will do the job like no other. It has small bags that have to be changed fairly frequently, but I'd rather change bags frequently and be clean than the alternative. The bags aren't available at the local Walmart so I order them from Amazon and they're delivered to my door (my favorite way to shop).Customer Review: Excellent, powerful and versatile
Summary: 4 Stars
This vacuum has been excellent in the three weeks I've had it. The ability to turn off the brush rotation and use it to clean hardwood floors is fantastic. Suction is excellent and when cleaning carpets this vacuum does an excellent job. The attachments are very useful as well, though a narrow wand would be a welcome addition.
The only negatives are that the filtration bags are relatively small and require frequent changing (I recommend using 3rd party replacements as they are significantly cheaper than OEM/factory) and some of the plastic covers have a slightly cheap and fragile feel.
Overall, this is an excelent vacuum.
Customer Review: Works Great - Dollar for Dollar Great Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this vacuum because Consumer Reports picked it as one of the 2006 best buys. Better than Dyson or Rainbow. This is our second Eureka, but this one is significantly better than the last. The last was a bagless model, and this one uses bags, and as a result it's much easier to clean. Bags are quite inexpensive, so it only adds about $10-15 per year (6-9 bags). Suction is fantastic. Noise is low. IT's easy to use. And I will add that we purchased a "refurbished" model, but we can identify no defects or differences. Looks perfectly new and runs great. So the choice is yours: Dyson for $400+ or this one which is better for $99 ???Customer Review: Eureka R4870G - Could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
The Eureka R4870G is pretty noisy as far as vacuum cleaners go. It is difficult to maneuver, and heavier than most other models I've purchased. The button or latch that releases the vacuum to lie straight down and go under furniture is extremely difficult to press and engage. Also, the attachment tube for cleaning other areas had a small crack in it. These were the cons.
On the plus side - it does vacuum nicely and the suction power is adequate. This is the first time I've purchased a Eureka - I'm not as pleased with the product as I have been in the past with others. I can't say that I highly recommend the product.
