| I have had a Boss Superlite since August of 2005 and love its light weight, power, and convenience. I have a long-haired dog (Pekingese) who sheds quite a bit and this little vac seems to pick up every single hair! It has very powerful suction and the dust cup is washable if you dont want to purchase replacements. My favorite feature is the small transparent window between the brushroll and the tank which can be opened to remove clogs. I admit it can be a little bit messy when emptying the canister, but I have owned several bagless uprights in the past with similar experiences. I plan to have this vacuum for a very long time. |
Used to love it, but not so much now! Wish Amazon would allow me to change star rating; I'd give it 3 stars now.

April 17, 2007: I think any negative reviews may be from people who are trying to use this vacuum as a whole house vacuum and it's not made for that. We bought this vacuum to replace the Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum) Eureka Boss Super Light Upright Stick Vacuum - 402A. We needed a vacuum for the kitchen floor and rugs. We have three dogs and one cat. I have tried practically every kitchen vacuum on the market and so far the Eureka 442A is the best! It is a wonderful improvement over the Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum). It is quieter, it's smoother to handle, the brush roll is wider, it does a good job cleaning. This one even vacuums up the dry leaves that make it into our attached garage. I wiped our vacuum down with fabric softener to prevent static build-up which could make dog hair stick to the vacuum. You could probably use a dryer sheet to wipe it down, too.
Update as of June 6, 2007: After using this product for a couple of months now, I have encountered a couple of issues. 1. The power cord cover split exposing the internal wiring. (I did not let anyone else use this vacuum or change the way I vacuum.) 2. The dust cup filter is very difficult to clean compared to the old Eureka Boss 402A (yellow vacuum). And after hand-washing it takes days for the filter to dry. I bought an extra dust cup filter because I couldn't wait days for the original to dry. |

| I just love my little Eureka bagless vacuum- it's lightweight,picks up cat hair and crumbs easily. No need to drag out the big heavy one. The price is easy, compared to the big ones, many of which don't do as good a job!! Can easily be taken upstairs. I heartily reccomend it. |
V-u-n-d-e-v-a!

This one works great! It is a quality-good loooking, lightweight, powerfull, easy to clean vacume.....AND it's inexpensive. The filter is tough too. You can clean it with a softbrush and water.
This Eureka can do as good a job as the big boys on bare floor and thiner carpets. Keep in mind that it is an "everyday vacume", so it's a good idea to clean it out often.
I bought mine because I have two dogs, one of which is a Jack Russell, and anyone who has a Jack, knows that they can shed quite a bit.
I love the Eureka Boss Mini, it keeps me on top things! I recommend it to anyone. |

I ordered this for my daughter and she loves it. It works great
and the handle folds down for smaller storage - great for
small living quarters. |
Fabulous if you have a Husky

We live with a Siberian Husky, those who have it will know what it is like, period!We do have Central Vacuum system,and once a week a cleaning service does a good job. But, the life between the two services was too hairy all over the house and carpets.
I used different up-right types (one without power roller), but it was cumbersome and not so satisfactory. I brought this Eureka SuperLite Bagless, on first go it picked up tank full of hair, from seemingly OK floor and carpet. I love its lightweight, powerful suction, and power brush head, and cost is real bargain. Even if it works for a year or more, I will repeat it again. I recomment it to all pet lovers, specially husky types.
The power brush is really good on carpets as well as on bare floor, since Husky hair are long and stiff, they need brush to be picked up. |
great product

| I bought this vaccum as a gift for my mother who didn't have one. She loves it and likes the fact is it bagless. She said that the first couple of times she used it it was full quickly, but now after using it several times she says it must have pulled all of the dirt out of her carpet because she rarely needs to empty it. Great value for the price! |
Lightweight Useful Vacuum

| 1 of 3 vacuums I own. This one is for tile kitchen, wood floor & area rugs that I vacuum daily. Picks up dog hair, crumbs, etc. Light weight. I empty the plastic container after each vacuum. I clear the filter by banging it against the outside wall to get all of the dust out. I keep the vacuum setting to "carpet" vs "floor" which keeps the roller/brush moving. Works better that way. Vacuum does feel like a toy but works well. Would recommend. |
good overall

| I really like my new vacuum. It is extremely light weight. I have not had any problems with it so far---although I have only used it three times. |
Good for touch ups and light jobs

| So far so good - Since getting mine about a month ago, I've used it several times for quick pickups, and it gets the job done. |
Okay for last minute or back up.

| I bought because of the price and needed a quick fix. It actually sucks up quite a bit, but the dust and grime just packs onto that filter and when you empty the cup, you have to pull off the hair and gunk from the filter... gross! Kind of messy. Bagless vacuums are such a hit now...but I don't see why! I'd rather buy bags than inhale or touch the dust inside when it's time to empty! |
it's uses are limited

| this is a decent little vacuum within a certain range of expectations. As other reviews have pointed out this is not going to perform like a $300 top-of-the-line machine, but I don't think it's too much to ask that it pick up the dirt on my carpet. It did not do that. Well I should say it picked up the surface dirt, but as the Bissell upright I got yesterday showed us it was not getting anything below that; I filled up it's canister just vacuuming a 6x12' area and it was filled with very fine dirt that this has obviously been missing for the last year. that said I am keeping it because it does have it's uses. I will use it on the hard floor surfaces of the house and to clean up around the cats litter boxes. however, unless you're doing most of your vacuuming on hard floors, and have no use of a hose attachment (I thought I could get away w/ not using one, but after a while I decided I really did need one), then I suppose this is a good choice. I should note though that the filter is a pain to use and you should definitely invest in a small shoe brush to clean it between washings because it takes *forever* to dry. also you'll want to keep this vacuum against a wall because at least w/ mine the mechanism that keeps it upright broke after a few months of use. |
two thumbs down

| Reviewer: Jerry H. Bond, |
I bought two of these weaklings in 2007 for light jobs on hardwood floors. One for me and one for an elderly parent. After failing to preform the smallest jobs, they were stuffed into the back of a closet until recently. I am good in the workshop and can fix most anything and make it work. The problem with these vacuums is that the motors are terribly weak. The brushes scatter whatever they hit without picking it up. I have taken them apart and isolated the air flow around the motors. Even though the motors sound like jet engines in a bathroom, they have barely enough suction to hold a sheet of toilet paper without dropping it. I removed the brushes, brush motors and belts and stopped up the holes in each end of the brush holders and reassembled them, leaving only the suction motors. No help. Even by lowering the vacuum heads as close to the floor as possible, they will pick up cat hair and lint, that's all.
The best thing about these vacuums is the ease of cleaning the filters. That's why I bought them in the first place. On most bagless vacuums, I have to blow out the filter with a compressed air at 90PSI to get them clean. The Mini Boss filters would be easy to clean if I was lucky enough to ever get anything on them. These units are nothing more than two bulky and heavy Swiffer dusters that use electricity, cost ten times the price and do not preform nearly as well. |
Awful!

| I swear, I don't know how this thing is getting positive reviews. I just used mine for the last time. It doesn't suck so it sucks. It hardly picks up anything. I've tried to figure out if there's something wrong with my particular unit, but everything seems to be working properly. It's practically worthless and I should have sent it back. It would be great if it worked as advertised because of its lightweight and ease of use. I do not recommend! If I come across as peeved, that's because I am. |
POOR QUALITY

| Review Date: February 28, 2007 |

I order'd this vacuum after reading other reviews.
One hour after placing my order I happened to find the identical vacuum @ a Target store and was extremely disappointed with its quality. I came home immediately to cancel my order. I spoke with two customer service reps and was told that I would receive an e-mail within 24 hours to confirm the order was suspended after notification was sent to shipping.
Twenty four hours later, I rec'd an e-mail notifying me that the vacuum had been shipped. I was very upset at this news, as I had purchased this item as a gift to be sent to someone who is not capable of handling such transactions on her own and I now had to suffer the inconvenience, frustration and embarrasment of handling the mistake with her and the shipping carrier.
Usually, I am thrilled at the speed of service from Amazon with all other transactions. I just wish there was more than a two hour window for cancellations. |
