Eureka Smart 4870DT Bagged Upright Vacuum

Pros: Great suction, long cord, sealed hepa filtration, PRICE
Cons: Hard to push foot lever, 22lb vacuum

Let me start by saying please don't buy bagless or you will be sorry especially if you have allergies. They are very messy and more of a pain than you would think. Read my review on the hoover 5750 I got rid of after 5 months and then found this great...

Pros: Low price, very quiet, excellent cleaning ability, and good supply of on-board tools
Cons: It's a bit on the heavy side

I bough this vacuum based on its rating with consumer reports as well as the ratings on epinions. I was not steered wrong!

OK, it's a bit heavy. It's also VERY quiet. I was astonished at how well it cleaned the first time I used it. I was...

Pros: Amazingly strong performance; design; quiet; cord-length; price; HEPA filtration; clear tubes; easy to assemble
Cons: A bit heavy; can take some effort to pull back; contributes toward insufferable Epinion whining

It's been almost four months since purchasing my Eureka 4870DT and I'm pleased to say that so far I couldn't be happier with it. First and foremost, it does what a vacuum cleaner is supposed to do: it cleans and does so incredibly well. In fact, in ...

Pros: Powerful, quieter than many, clear hoses, intake pipes, and roller brush casing for troubleshooting clogs
Cons: A bit on the heavy side

Within the last month I returned a week-old Hoover Windtunnel that had little issues that drove me crazy and purchased this Eureka Boss Vac. I have two cats and a dog, two school-age children, and a moderately hairy husband. I figured I was due a ...

Pros: Good Suction, Long cord and hose.
Cons: A little heavy, foot pedal a bit stiff

I have owned this vacuum from new for 18months now and it is very good. The suction is really great ...

Pros: Powerful, tank-like quality, value, serious Hepa filter, and it uses BAGS!!!
Cons: Heavy. small-back workout, no grab-handle, Sears was out of bags at purchase.

My wife and I both hated the bagless Kenmore we had. What a big mess, and smelly! It's a pleasure to use bags again. Foot lever is NOT problematic...use your LEFT foot. Works everytime. The brushes are at such a high rpm that the vacuum actually ...

Pros: On/Off for brush, great for pet hair, doesn't scuff baseboards, gets carpet really clean, price
Cons: Foot Pedal and Hard Floor/Carpet Switch not user friendly, somewhat heavy for a vacuum

I have owned this vacuum for well over a year now and it has performed wonderfully for me. I use the vacuum at least once a day around here with all the pet hair and the kids' messes. We have wood floors in the kitchen and linoleum in the laundry room ...

Pros: Solid, handsome, well-made, strong suction, great features, unbeatable value.
Cons: Some switches are a little stiff, power paw doesn't store on machine. (minor)

I consider myself a fair-minded person, and in fairness I have to take issue with several reviews that - in my opinion - are nit picking this vacuum to death. I should say that I have the upgraded 4870GZ version. Yes, some switches, including the lock ...

Pros: Pros - see above
Cons: Cons - see above

I just bought this vacuum cleaner today after reading the reviews of others on this website. I am blown away by how much better it works than my previous vacuum cleaner, a Dirt Devil. We have two dogs in the house, a lab and a chow/golden retriever ...

Pros: Quiet, powerful, HEPA filtration, wide swath, easy hose usage.
Cons: very stiff pedal release, very heavy, requires genius to mount upholstery tool

I got this vacuum on the recommendation of Consumer Reports. It wasn't the highest rated vacuum, but it received a "CR Best Buy" rating. I checked some opinions and found reports of belts breaking soon after starting usage, but another opinion stated ...

Pros: Great suction & Price
Cons: Stretch hose could be a little longer

have always owned a bagless vacuum, thinking it would be less of a pain not having to worry about buying bags. But after a while I got sick of having to sick my hands in the vacuum to unclog the dirt that got cauught up in the canister. Also I have gone ...

Pros: Exceptional value for the price paid- capable machine- lots of dirt collected!
Cons: on- off switch location and foot lever location (minor issues)

7DEC04 Review: first impressions of Eureka 4870DT Bagged Vacuum Cleaner I personally try to be a well informed consumer. I do research on most items of $30 $50 ish and up. Do I always make the right choices? Of course not- but i try to ...

Pros: Great cleaning, Quiet, Long cord, Great value, No Sneezing!
Cons: None worth mentioning

I'm a serious researcher, so after reading Consumer Reports rankings and online ratings, I visited Sears and tried out tops pics. I bought the burgundy version of this vacuum yesterday after finally giving up on my useless Dirt Devil Featherlite. I was ...

Pros: Powerful suction (12 Amp motor) and HEPA Filter
Cons: Weight

I consider myself a fairly conservative spender. My first attempt at buying a vacuum cleaner led me to buy a Dirt Devil for about $50.00. It lasted for only a few months and then started having motor problems. I decided maybe my knowledge of vacuum ...

Pros: Incredible suction
Cons: Heavy.

This machine has a few notable flaws, but it is still the best cleaner I've owned to date. It has t ...
