I have have my Eureka Boss Smart-Vac for about a month now , and I be still impress with the job it do . my old vacuum be so ineffective that I fill the bag on my new one by vacuum once ! we have a cat , and it be always so hard to get she hair out of the chair she always sit in . the power paw remove the hair in just one or two swipe . I read many review before purchase this vacuum , and most of they be fairly accurate . my husband and I both agree it be heavy , but it be not really that hard to maneuver . it really do a very nice job pick up everything and make the carpet soft and fluffy . the plastic it be make of feel a bit cheap , so I question the long-term durability of the product , but the price be a great value consider how well it perform . it be very quiet running and the hepa filter make the air smell really fresh when I be do vacuuming . my old vacuum 's hose use to clog all the time , so I really like how this one have a clear hose so you can see where clog be . however , I have not experience any clog in this vacuum 's hose as of yet . -lrb- yes , the power paw attach to the vacuum . the direction just do not tell you how . it be not hard to figure out . there be a plastic holster for it that clip to the back under the handle . -rrb- so far , I be very happy with this purchase .
