Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Refurbished Eureka R4870G Boss Upright Vacuum
Customer Review: Ecellent suction! Poweful champ.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had a refurbed model for about two years now, and really love it. It looked unused as best I could tell, and hasn't given me any trouble (except that I'm not usre the bare floor switch has ever worked right). I have a dog who sheds a lot, and this vacuum cleans up after him in a jiffy. Just for kicks, I used my old vaccuum (a heavy, vintage hoover w/mostly metal parts) one last time, and then used my new Eureka immediately after. The amount of stuff the Eureka dug up off of my "freshly vaccummed" carpet was amazing. The on-board hose and tools have been great for cleaning furniture, baseboards, my car, etc.
A few caveats:
1. This cleaner isn't a lightweight; the powerful suction may make it harder to push and pull than some others. Seeing as I was replacing a vintage (heavy) cleaner, my adjustment was easy, but if you're accustomed to a lightweight cleaner, you might find this one harder to maneuver.
2. It's a refurb. Some are probably returned in perfect working order by people who don't like the noise, color, weight, etc. But some are likely returned for genuine mechanical issues. It'd be my hope that all are serviced and fully tested, but it appears some purchasers got units that failed quickly. That's a shame. All I can say is I didn't experience that, and am very, very happy with my purchase.
3. The bags (style RR) seem hard to find at my local department stores. I've chosen to buy mine on line, and have gotten great prices when buying in quantity.
Customer Review: great vacuum
Summary: 5 Stars
really good vacuum. price was right. baggless was too messy so I went back to dispoable baggs. also the bags are on amazon too at a good price. Customer Review: Best vacuum I've ever owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought a refurbished model and this vacuum beats hands down the far more expensive Eureka Bagless vacuum I was using.
First, this has far greater suction than any vacuum I've owned or tried at a store, including Dyson's vacuums, which are really good but expensive! You can feel the vacuum pulling forward and where I needed multiple passes to clean up pet hair, this model does it in one pass.
Second, the HEPA filters make it great for relief from allergies.
Third, The HEPA bag holds a lot. I got really tired of emptying the bagless tank every few minutes on my old vacuum.
Fourth, the cord is long enough I can almost do my entire apartment without having to unplug it.
Fifth, the light is bright enough too, for being able to see clearly in the dark corners of the room and under tables.
But this vacuum if you need a new one, it's just a darn good vacuum for the price.
Customer Review: This product really sucks!
Summary: 3 Stars
Oh yeh, that's what it's SUPPOSED to do!
Strong suction...that's good.
Don't buy this vacuum if you're not athletic. It is a lug to push and pull.
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.
