Eureka Boss 4D Pet Fresh Bagless Upright
Bagless Upright Vac Does Good Furniture, Fails on Floors
Initially enticing thanks to its low price tag and Q Branch-worthy complement of attachments, this bagless behemoth started out strong, removing pet hair from upholstery like an aardvark decimating a termite mound. But the Boss failed spectacularly once it hit the floor, spewing dust bunnies and dirt rather than picking them up. It also emitted enough hot air to warm our test apartment significantly.
WIRED Accessories include a telescoping duster and an effective mini beater-bar with a swiveling "riser visor" that shields vertical cleaning.
TIRED Heavy at 24 pounds. Hose is difficult to handle and has limited reach. Manual floor-height adjustment.
