I have have a Eureka the Boss Smart Vac for a few year now and I absolutely hate use it . yes , it have good suction , but what good be suction if you do not use the machine because you hate it so much . first , it be way too heavy and hard to maneuver . the hose constantly flop all over and never stay on the track where it be suppose to be store . . bad design there . then , it do not lay flat to vacuum under furniture . if you try to put the handle near the floor to go under furniture , the beater be lift off the floor . oh yes , also , the attachment do not stay attach to the unit when not in use . I have use this vacuum for the last time . I plan to get a lightweight Dyson and let my husband use this pain in the hand , arm and back downstari in he workshop .
